Weekly Forecast: June 16 – 22, 2024, Kelly M. Beard, 17 June 2022

6/16  ::  Venus (finances & relationships) ~square~ Neptune (illusions & boundaries):

This energy serves as a conduit for creative inspiration. If you possess any artistic inclinations, you will find access to a potent energy that could lead to the creation of something truly remarkable. Delve deep and allow your creative essence to flow freely! At the same time, this energy might challenge relationships—both personal and professional—to ground themselves in more authenticity & integrity. Relationships lacking a solid foundation are likely to dissolve under this influence. When Neptune exerts its influence, it alters our perception, often illuminating potential rather than the actual reality. It is a time to detach and trust in the unfolding journey. If a relationship concludes under this influence, it is not necessarily a negative or “bad” thing; rather, it suggests that it may never have been firmly established from the start. Embrace gratitude and move forward. This activation aims to harmonize your genuine values & priorities with the vision held in your mind & heart. However, expanding your consciousness is necessary. Trust your inner guidance and take practical steps forward, aligning your actions with your newfound understanding & wisdom.

6/17  ::  Mercury (thinking & communication) ~square~ Neptune (illusions & delusions):

This energy brings forth a blend of blessings and challenges. It offers a favorable time for spiritual exploration and infusing your dreams with some energy, if your schedule permits. However, it also signifies a period prone to significant misunderstandings among individuals. It is crucial to consider your words before speaking, as the potential for misinterpretation or complete misunderstanding is heightened this week. Guard against allowing your longing for dreams to cloud your judgment or lead you astray into illusions or delusions. This energy may prompt deliberate deception in some individuals, while others must exercise caution not to be misled. It is advisable to adhere to the facts or maintain silence for the time being. There might be a temptation to withhold information to avoid potential confrontations—however, it is best to resist this urge. Instead, focus on communication with your Self, your Higher Self, and God/Spirit today. If engaging with others, ensure absolute clarity in explaining yourself to avoid any potential misunderstandings.

6/17  ::  Venus Enters CANCER (until July 11th):

It’s also a chance to re-dream our lives on absolutely every single level. The Sacred Feminine is reminding us that we are Infinite Beings and can choose in every moment how to respond to what life is presenting. Part of being on Earth is being adaptable and dealing with the ecology within and around you. As she moves through Cancer, giving us a chance to soothe our nervous systems, reassure our Souls and replenish our energies after a life-changing ride. The “value & priority” pretty much all summer is self-care and personal tending to that which allows you to function as a human being in the most basic ways. I recommend that you use this Venus in Cancer to strengthen & fortify yourself internally & privately – especially during the summer months when we have the Annual Retrogrades to support your inward focus even more. This energy can help you re-set your individual system so that you are better able to step up and into the New Story, secure in your self-expression and strong from the self-care & replenishment.


6/17  ::  Mercury Enters CANCER (until July 2nd):

It is officially time to process, digest & release all that we’ve been through. Mercury in Cancer is a special reminder to be cautious & caring – with Self and others. It’s time to get okay with moving sideways and backwards before going forward, and like a crab, we explore the perimeter to make sure that it is safe before going after what we want. Since this year has activated this amazing awakening and forced us all to connect with new ideas, thoughts & concepts to communicate or express ourselves, this will be a great time to further develop whatever ideas have come to you this year, so far. They are your babies and it is your responsibility to nurture their development and release them to feed the world in their own way. If you haven’t already, take some time for inward focus and some deep, radical self-care! Tis the season! We have to honor how we feel periodically, even if the culture would have us numbed-out and constantly distracted. It’s like spring cleaning for your “feelers” – that Inner Empath that you are – that feels and senses what is best for you (and your family or community that you love). Use this energy to tune into what messages your particular moods have for you as well. Be sure to remind yourself over and over to ‘think with your feelings’ or ‘think with your heart’ and be aware of your own sensitivity & boundary issues. It may be time to reestablish that on some level so that you are clear and capable of discerning whether it is your own feelings & thoughts that you are picking up along the way, or someone else’s nearby. Either way, it’s always a good time to slow down to do your own inner process & self-reflection to make sure that you are not operating on auto-pilot when the current path is so changeable. The last thing I think this one will be good for is conjuring up memories from the past or you may feel the Ancestors close by, so be sure to call in the loving, benevolent, WELL Ancestors if you are looking for a message or confirmation. It is time to be more caring and compassionate overall, but we don’t have to be push-overs either. It is time to ask what *FEEDS* you on the deeper levels, that which has perhaps only recently been revealed to your own conscious awareness.


6/17  ::  Mercury (ideas, thoughts & concepts) ~conjunct~ Venus (values, priorities & resources):
​
This energy invites you to perceive the underlying harmony or cohesive thread weaving through the tapestry of your life, encompassing its diverse experiences across time. It heralds a fresh perspective on communication, self-expression, and the worth of your ideas, thoughts, concepts & creative projects. You may find yourself articulating long-held ideas with newfound clarity, perhaps even expressing affection or emotions in profound ways. It is a fertile period for your Inner Artist, where creativity flows unbounded, allowing for innovative expressions that you have yet to explore. Embrace the freedom of imagination, exploring ideas without fixating on outcomes. While delving into these connections & revelations, resist the urge to over-analyze; instead, relish the depth that they offer, fostering personal growth and a deeper comprehension of life’s unfolding magic customized for your own level of consciousness. Recognize the purpose within past challenges and acknowledge your journey toward personal self-mastery. Embrace this moment to cultivate fresh thought patterns that imbue your life with greater beauty and a deeper sense of peace & harmony.

6/19  ::  Vesta Enters LEO (until Aug 24th):

Vesta represents you, the individual – in its purest, most Sacred form. It’s the part of you that can focus deeply or dedicate completely to a person or project. She moves through the Signs, activating lessons for all of us to learn from. As she enters Leo, she wants us to focus on what we LOVE and tend to our own unique brand of creativity. She teaches the Beauty Way and leaving things better than you found them, while demonstrating courage & integrity with all your interactions. I suggest using this time to reconnect with joy, fun & laughter after a very trying year of death & destruction. You cannot stay in ANY emotion too long, especially anxiety & fear. So give your Self a break as we move through Summer and check-in with what makes you feel love & connection again. We can use this 2-month period to ignite our passion for life or at the very least, acknowledge how precious it is and the value of joy & vitality in a human being.

Summer Solstice  ::  is the MidPoint in the year, bringing another turn of the Wheel, the peak power of the Light before it surrenders, moving toward true completion of that which was seeded at Winter Solstice. Permanently opposite each other, eternally balancing & re-balancing, integrating & re-integrating the Life/Death/Life Cycle. This is the time of year that we should focus on the balance & integration of Light/Dark ~ Yin/Yang ~ Feminine/Masculine ~ Inner/Outer ~ Cancer/Capricorn. While Winter is a time of rest, replenishment & rejuvenation, Summer is the time of pouring forth, emptying out and fully birthing or releasing your creations (or whatever you’ve done with your creative energy thus far this year). This is the MidPoint of the Solar Year, a point of *culmination & choice* ~ a time to count your blessings, assess your creations, gather power, and access the courage (Sun) to move forward. This is a balance of your outer world (Capricorn) and your inner world (Cancer) with emphasis on the Sacred Space where you fortify & replenish (Cancer) so that you are able to contribute something significant (Capricorn) to society. Be creative and operate from heart-center as you move through this Sacred Season, release what needs to be released and fertilize the next phase of the annual cycle. Summer Solstice is time to celebrate the primal creative Force, the mother-of-all-mothers, Mother Earth by acknowledging the blessed *Container, Nurturer and Protector* that She is for ALL Life on this planet. Connect to and honor your own instinctual nature at this time. And be mindful of the nutrient that you take-in to your space, mind, body & spirit. Summer is the Sacred Season of maximum *Light* ~ be passionate and be present!


6/20  ::  Sun (purpose & individuality) ~square~ Neptune (faith & spirituality):

This cosmic influence might stir feelings of self-doubt, self-delusion, and a general sense of confusion, seemingly originating from within or directed toward oneself. However, it is essential to recognize that this energy is transient & temporary; it serves as the Universe’s gentle nudge to get you to slow down and reassess whether your aspirations might have been unrealistic or born from fleeting fantasies. When your energy feels depleted, and your optimism wanes, it is wise to pause, take a break, and prioritize rest & rejuvenation if possible. Above all, refrain from initiating grand plans during this phase, as perception might be clouded, preventing a clear view of reality. Fortunately, this influence is short-lived, offering relief in its brevity.

6/21  ::  Mercury (ideas & thoughts) ~sextile~ Mars (actions & choices):

This energy encourages a healthy sense of self-interest, emphasizing self-preservation. Seize the moment this week and don’t hold back. If you have been diligently working toward a significant dream or goal, now is the most opportune time to attract the necessary assistance from the Universe. While it is undoubtedly a period of intense & constant effort, it comes with the recommendation to work independently on something of personal importance to you. Recognize that no one else will match your dedication, and you shouldn’t expect them to. Tap into the additional energy available to propel your goals to the next level, experiencing a sense of accomplishment and outlining the subsequent tasks. Opportunities abound constantly; all you need to do is be prepared! If presented with a chance to make a presentation, embrace it. Your unmatched clarity, energy, and enthusiasm are what resonate with people. This isn’t the time for shyness or self-doubt – you are definitely prepared; otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. Embrace the commitment to your own success, as the Universe conspires to assist you.

6/21  ::  CAPRICORN Full Moon (1 of 2 = Lunar Flip):

This is your Annual opportunity to release that which is no longer part of your reality, purpose or responsibility. Look to what you Initiated at Winter Solstice and how far you’ve progressed since then. What’s working? What’s not? What needs to be released? What needs to be strengthened structurally or otherwise? What foundation-work needs to be done to support you better going forward? The Full Moon is shining a light in that corner for first time in 6-months-to-a-year (Capricorn House) revealing any weaknesses or cracks in the foundation of your current focus. Whatever you *Seeded* with the Capricorn New Moon (1.11.2024) 6-months ago, has run its course and now the Full Moon shows you what is solid and can be expanded on – as well as what is weak and must be fixed, replaced or released altogether. This is the time of year, every year, when you determine what is truly feeding, nourishing, supporting & protecting you ~ on ALL levels ~ mental, physical, emotional & spiritual. Here, we are reminded that often, internal shifts precede external shifts.

I would like to remind you to take some time during July/Aug this year to assess & integrate your own personal growth, development & direction for the year. Use this time to release ideas, people or situations which drain your lifeforce energy, dim your light or block your flow. In Cancer, you are reminded to check-in with your own natural rhythm and assess where you may have gotten off that rhythm and must re-set yourself this summer so that you can handle the upcoming Fall Harvest. How can you renew your dedication to a routine that nourishes, inspires & energizes you? How can you put your ideas & skills to good use in the world? Where are your gifts & talents needed, valued & honored? What nourishes your body, awakens your mind and feeds your soul? Check-in with your SoulSelf this summer – much of these very fundamental, basic things in our lives have changed and so have we!

To add to that, we are in the process of what I call the *Lunar Flip*. For the last 18-months, the Full Moon preceded the New Moon, creating a rhythm of having to complete, clear & release before seeding anything new. Now that rhythm is shifting to the New Moon preceding the Full Moon, which creates a rhythm of having to plant your seeds and walk by faith to the Full Moon, which usually shines a light on anything possibly blocking those New Moon Seeds from taking root and growing healthy & strong. This means that we may have to do some tweaks & adjustments before really launching anything new for the next 18-months.

In this case, it is also likely that 0-1* Capricorn is clearing things in one particular House (Area of Life) and 29* will fall in the next House. This tells us that we must double-down on clearing things in those two Houses so that the Initiation in the Cancer House can unfold properly. In other words, we have to release two semi-important things in order for one really important thing to be able to initiate properly. This is especially potent & transformative for anyone with strong Aries/Libra or Cancer/Capricorn.
