Summer Solstice: Strawberry Fields Forever

 "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." 

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Hope everyone around the world enjoyed the first day of summer!

As we all know, it is the longest daytime of the year.  This also symbolizes optimistic energy at its peak, illuminating all that is possible for us during this time.  

With high vibrational energy comes high emotions, as we now enter the astrological season of empathic Cancer.  This is where we all need to be very aware, and not get too caught up in anything because we are too emotionally charged.  For the next several days, it might be a good idea to limit our time spent in crowded places; avoiding them altogether, if possible.

Luckily, we have a Strawberry Full Moon portal in pragmatic Capricorn.  This will help to ground our energies, so that we may see what we want in actionable steps, and not just whimsical wishes.  Having a plan (it can be good enough to start; we don't want to spend too much time here without action) and executing that plan is key during this time.  

Given we have the nuturing energy of Cancer, as well as the rational energy of Capricorn, it's a good time to take massive action toward our goals, while simultaneously engaging in self-care.  This involves self-compassion and patience with ourselves, as mistakes and adjustments will be made going for what we want.  Like world renown self-help author, entrepreneur and motivational speaker Louise Hay once said, "Be there for yourself."  

AMOR FATI

Thank you and good night.

New Moon in Gemini: Dichotomy Au Courant

 “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” 

-Joseph Campbell

It was once said by the late business philosopher and millionaire Jim Rohn, that the prediction of the future will always be the same: opportunity mixed with difficulty.  If we are going through a challenging time, as if it was hell, it is best we keep walking through.  The alternative is that we stay there; in self-imposed damnation!  

To reach higher ground, we must understand that what is placed in front of us is a blessing in a very ugly disguise.  We will become stronger and better people for what we accomplish during this New Moon portal in spontaneous Gemini and moving forward.  Don't be surprised if things seem to come up out of thin air.  It is either a test from the Universe or God, or a preview of life's coming attractions.

AMOR FATI

Thank you and good night.  

P.S. Happy Dragon Boat Festival in The Year of the Dragon!  This combination only happens every 12 years!  端午節快樂!
