Navigating June with Radiance
Along with my monthly recommendations on cool things to improve your quality of life ("The Goods", shared near the end of the month), this blog series is to encourage + inspire you with a month-at-a-glance.
Welcome to June, oh radiant one!
I believe in the power of vision— and sometimes we forget to look up, getting lost in the daily grind of Life.
May these little love letters serve as an invitation for you to deepen into Nature's rhythm, widen your perspective and remember who you are... stardust and an infinite soul in human form
Cycles of Nature:
The new moon portal is open N O W
This Monday, May 30th, was the new moon in Gemini- the air sign of the twins, and of duality. I LOVE ritualizing the new moon. If you havn't stepped into this portal beloved, try it! It can be really simple.
Pull a card, light a candle, and carve out 10-20 minutes to journal. Breathe some fresh air, and send some prayers for who you're becoming into the wind!
O' the summer time is comin...
The Summer Solstice is on June 21st... right around the corner! This is the halfway point in our year, when the days are at their absolute longest. Up here in the Pacific Northwest, it will be getting light between 4-5am, and it won't get dark until almost 11pm! Whoa
What to do with ALL that daylight???
How about celebrate the energy of the sun, and cultivate inner and outer radiance?!
This is a glorious time of year. Time to dig in and dine on the divine fresh fruit around us. Time to get outside and move our bones in the sunshine! Time to enjoy the long days with lots of daylight...
Tip: in the summertime, its harder to stay on an reasonable dinner schedule. If I wait too long and eat too late, my belly isn't happy, and I don't sleep as well. Not so fun! Instead, try setting an alarm or creating a flow with your house members that keeps you in a healthy timeframe of when to eat dinner. Since we have less dark hours, it's well worth making sure the sleep you do get is deep and rejuvenating!
The moon will be full on Tuesday, June 14th
The full moon is in Sagittarius this month, a fire sign whose affirmations are "I SEEK" and "I SEE". The astrological turnings invite you to look more closely at what you are seeing clearly, and where you are unclear in your personal and professional life. What is your heart seeking? Where do you have utter clarity, and where do you feel foggy on your next steps? Ritualize this lunar potency and harness the power of mother nature to help you release energies, patterns or beliefs you've outgrown since the last full moon.
Other notable dates
Father's Day is June 19th. Blessed be the fathers! For all my dads out there reading this right now, THANK YOU for your courage and your care. We love you, we see you, we appreciate you!
June 19th is also Juneteenth. Known to some as the country's 'second Independence Day,' Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of enslaved people in the United States at the end of the Civil War. For more than 150 years, African American communities across the country have observed this holiday. Search "Juneteenth" and your nearest city to find out what events are happening locally if you feel called to join in this righteous celebration of liberation.
The Great Turning
What a delight to turn towards the light, to welcome in the first days of Summer!
And, what intense suffering we are seeing in the world, and in particular in the USA right now. I've lost track of sheer quantity of mass shootings in the past month, and it is SO FUCKING HARD to read those stories, watch those videos, and see the faces of the families who have said goodbye way too soon.
Sigh...
And yet, this is the human experience we're here to witness, my friend.
Somehow, we were chosen to be here on planet earth in this time of the Great Change. We don't know what will happen, but hold your loved ones close. Tell them you love them. Don't wait to give that gift, or that hug, or speak what you're afraid to say. This life is so brief, so precious.
May you find strength in the sorrow. May you embrace your grief, and remember that as you allow your grief to expand you, your capacity for joy likewise grows.
