The Worst Mercury Retrograde Of 2021 Is Over. Here’s How To Recover

LATE because I wanted it to be REALLY OVER !

On June 22 at 6 pm EST, Mercury will finally station direct in Gemini, ending its backwards dance and one of the most chaotic transits of this year. But before you don party hats and invite your closest friends over for a Goodbye, Retrograde-themed karaoke party, listen up — we’re not free of Mercury retrograde’s shackles quite yet.

For just a couple more weeks, we’ll still be feeling a bit of a hangover from this transit. “The story we’ve been dealing with since May 14, when Mercury first entered its pre-retrograde zone, will come to an end on July 7 when the retro-shade phase ends. While we won’t be feeling this transit as intensely as we did before, we still need to make it through the retro-shade to fully be rid of this chaotic energy. On the bright side, we’re no longer totally in the thick of things. Our communication is becoming clearer, we’re understanding our relationships more, and we now have a better perspective on things — the fog is starting to lift.

Things will still be a tad shaky for us. “One way of looking at it is that Mercury has been asleep at the wheel for three weeks, and it will take a little time before it totally wakes up and gets back to normal. Think about how you feel when you’re first coming out of a deep sleep — groggy. So just give the universe a little while longer to shake off its retrograde-y cobwebs before you charge full steam ahead.

We can look forward to being rid of the cliché retrograde happenings as the planet finds its stride once again. “Any miscommunications, frustrations, confusion, or delays surrounding Mercury-related things will most likely find resolution. “Think of it like driving through a tunnel and now we finally all have cell reception.”

Though we may still experience a little static, June 22, the day that Mercury turns direct, could still be incredibly eye-opening. “Things that were blocked from you may be revealed. “You may have ideas, insights or a-ha moments, or if you were waiting on news or an offer from someone, this may be the day it comes through.” This day is the collective light bulb floating above our heads suddenly turning on.

Even so wait until after the retro-shade period ends to take action and execute whatever has been illuminated. Until then, we can enjoy all the things we put on pause during this transit: signing contracts, making big purchases, having important conversations, utilizing technology, and even texting your ex.

One date to look out for this month is July 6 — the day before the retro-shade period ends.  Things will be murky around this time due to Mercury clashing with Neptune, the Planet of Illusion, in Pisces. “While that aspect is good for inspiration, it’s not the best for clearing the air or focusing on any type of analytical work. “Because of this clash with Neptune, the very last days of Mercury in Gemini seem to be the best for clearing any misunderstandings or fixing any projects that might have needed revision during Mercury’s backward spin.”

Use this time to envision how you want to move forward, and take your time putting that plan of action into motion. With a clear mind and even clearer astrological energy, the rest of the summer is ours for the taking — that is, until the next Mercury retrograde rears its ugly head.

Grab The Tissues: It’s Cancer Season

After a hectic, chaotic good Gemini season, we’re finally settling down into the more grounded, lawful good Cancer season. On June 20, the sun will move into the sign of the crab where it’ll stay until July 22, and the vibes are about to get pretty calm, cool, and collected.

This Cancer season is bringing a complete shift in the overall astrological energy.  It officially marks the end of eclipse season as the sun leaves Gemini, one of the two signs in which the eclipses happen this year.  The first days of Cancer season also bring the end of Mercury retrograde, (good riddance !) which will be a well-received change.

The conclusion of these two pretty big astrological happenings is nothing short of beautiful because from the very beginning  Cancer season will be a magical time for making things happen.   Jupiter will be active, especially as the Sun in Cancer forms a on June 23.  The lucky planet of Jupiter is currently in dreamy Pisces, so grab that manifestation journal and wish for your wildest dreams to come true. Cancer season is getting off to a pleasantly good start.

Cancer season will be a huge energetic shift.  The sun in Cancer is much more about our feelings and what really lies in our hearts as opposed to our intellect and ideas when it was in Gemini.  Cancer is the most sensitive sign in the zodiac, and like the moon (its ruler), feelings are always shifting and changing.  The vibes of Cancer season can often be described as the very traits the sign embodies.

Known as the giver of tough love, Cancers are very protective of their hearts and energy.  They often hide their inner emotions under their shell of armor to ensure they don’t experience heartache and pain. Although they have a rep for being extra emotional, the crab is a sentimental being.

As usual, Cancer season will have us in our feels — but this month will be more energized than usual.  During most of Cancer season, the planets that rule sex and attraction, Venus and Mars, will be in fiery, attention-grabbing Leo, where they will meet on July 13

Together, the energy of these two planets in the sign of the lion point to big displays of affection within relationships, so expect to start a whirlwind romance,  or have your partner be extra affectionate and touchy-feely with you. We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again — it’s truly the summer of love.

Cancer also rules the home, and that energy of this season is best used to declutter our lives — especially emotionally.  That lamp you hate from an ex-boyfriend? Donate it.  Your toxic roommate’s old Brita filter?  Recycle it!  Remember that objects hold energy and you get to decide who and what is invited in your home.  This next month is all about cleansing what doesn’t serve us, and keeping close what makes us feel safe and secure.


If you find yourself in your feels this Cancer season, appreciate and acknowledge them.  Getting in touch with your emotions is a huge part of self-honoring and it also strengthens your intuition.  You have the right to express yourself. Practice being direct instead of retreating in your shell like the crab.  Notice where you need to set clear boundaries and give yourself the homework of communicating that directly with those around you. Use that hard crab shell of Cancer to your advantage.

Although a little on the emotional side, this Cancer season is full of good vibes and homey, feel good energy — especially if you put honoring your feelings first. If we were to give you one smidge of advice, it would be for the rest of Cancer season: Do no harm, but take no shit.

Summer Solstice 2021 & Happy Full Moon

Summer Solstice 2021

The longest day and the shortest night are upon us! The 2021 Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is Sunday, June 20th at 11:32pm EDT. The Solstice is a moment, a passing, a turning point from one chapter to another. And, what a chapter it has been!  And yet, the Solstice invites to pause and reflect on the good that is all around. The word  “solstice” literally means “sun standing” – the day when the sun appears to stop moving in the sky. It is on this day when the sun and earth align in stillness. The Summer Solstice invites light to shine bright into all creation, illuminating the beauty that is all around.

We are invited to do the same as we mark the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, the season of light. This year, we were moved to create a beautiful and inspiring poem to remind us all that beauty and inspiration are all around – right here, right now. 

Where do you see beauty?

What are you ready to leave behind?

What do you hope to bring into form?

And then there’s that full moon in Capricorn coming up !

Summer Solstice 2021

During a supermoon, the moon will appear larger than normal, like a big disco ball lighting up the sky. The giant moon peaks at 2:40 pm ET, but of course, that will be daylight for most of us. However, you can still see it after sunset in the southeastern sky. Sadly, the moon won’t actually look strawberry pink, but it will have a golden hue if you catch it during the first 20 minutes after sunset.

What a Full Moon in Capricorn Means

Capricorn is a misunderstood sign. Sometimes people assume it’s a sign of all work and no play, but the truth is that Capricorn embodies the “work hard, play hard” mentality. It’s true that these sea goats are often hard-working professionals, which is why this full moon may bring great monetary or professional news, so circle Thursday, June 24 in your calendar. Capricorn is also represented by the Devil card in the tarot, which can refer to consensually enjoying your vices, whether that means foregoing all your professional responsibilities and taking a long weekend after a period of hard work or trying a new kink in the bedroom. 

How to Use the Full Strawberry Moon to Your Advantage

Capricorn’s ruling planet, strict daddy Saturn, is currently retrograde in progressive Aquarius. This retrograde asks us to look towards the future. Full moons are powerful times of manifestation, meaning that during this time, our dreams can turn into reality. During this full moon, you may receive a raise or a job offer, especially if it’s something that you’ve been working for. This lunation is all about results. Even if you don’t receive good professional news, this full moon is a potent time to ask for it. Meditate on your worth and use Capricorn’s energy to ask for the money or recognition that you deserve. 

The Full Strawberry Moon Is a Supermoon

During a supermoon, the moon will appear larger than normal, like a big disco ball lighting up the sky. The giant moon peaks at 2:40 pm ET, but of course, that will be daylight for most of us. However, you can still see it after sunset in the southeastern sky. Sadly, the moon won’t actually look strawberry pink, but it will have a golden hue if you catch it during the first 20 minutes after sunset. Because Capricorn is a responsible earth sign, this supermoon is also perfect for planting roots. That could mean saying yes to a new job or settling into a new relationship. In matters of love, this lunation is ideal for letting go of nostalgia and anchoring yourself in the present. Consider writing down a gratitude list with the full moon in view, and then go let your partner or crush know how much that they mean to you. 

Oh, and extra points if you eat some strawberries!

What the 2021 Summer Solstice Means for Your Zodiac

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE !

This year’s summer solstice welcomes the sun in Cancer and Jupiter in Pisces.
What does this mean for your zodiac sign?

Aries (March 21–April 19)

The 2021 summer solstice is a great time for the fiery first sign of the zodiac to focus on home. You may want to honor a family member, call their parents, or dive into a home project, like creating collages of family photos for the den. This will also be a good time to practice self-care and let go of a grudge you have been holding onto. Release those negative vibes, and let the good times roll for the rest of the summer!

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

After a long, weird year of pandemic life, this earth sign ruled by Venus will mindfully reconnect with people during the solstice, and there will be lots of movement around socializing amid groups and friends.  The time has come to reconnect with old and new.  But be careful about what you put online. Now is a good time to get offline and make meaningful connections face-to-face. Bulls may be surprised to discover who their ideal best friend is.

Gemini (May 21–June 20)

The time has come for Gemini to make a career move—and that time is right around the summer solstice. Go beyond the day-to-day work processes and prove your loyalty.  Make a powerful impression.  People born under this sign should be proactive about taking on leadership at work or pitching to a client. However, they should avoid drastic moves and just take the next natural step.

Cancer (June 21–July 22)

 It’s your day in the sun!  Literally and figuratively: The sun is moving into Cancer for a month, making the solstice an optimal time for success.  It’s your moment to take a risk on something that you want to do just for you. Do not hold back.  That’s right,—run, don’t crawl, toward whatever you want right now. It’s your time to shine.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Lions will want to supersize everything during the summer solstice. However, they should resist this urge and instead create strong boundaries. People born under this sign are true leaders, so it may be a challenge to resist their innate desire to charge forward with gusto. But Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.  That’s why enlisting a mentor or guide is a good idea for Leos right now. The right person can help them process any uncomfortable feelings, like sadness when they let go of big ideas or expectations.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Virgo may always be eager to help others, which is a great thing, but now is the time for this analytical earth sign to dig deep and make truly meaningful connections.  Focus on one person in your group to reach out to.  Invite a friend to be involved in a collaborative effort.  Create a more connected vibe on your team by hosting a picnic, getting everyone organized on a project management app, or simply inviting friends to be part of a project. Just make sure to avoid including people who you like but who are not qualified for the job, since this will adversely affect the team. Virgos, by the way, are among the most trustworthy signs of the zodiac.

Libra (September 23–October 22)

The longest day of the year is the perfect time for Libras to set some goals for the summer.  Whether you shake off the COVID-19 [pounds] with a diet and exercise plan or find creative ways to reduce stress at work, make wellness a goal. You can also champion a project that needs a leader. This is a good time for Libra to join mastermind groups or organize their social life around things they are working on. For example, they might want to meet up with an entrepreneur group for a picnic or join a tennis club where they can meet people who are up to big things.

Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Those born under the sign of Scorpio should be loud and proud during the 2021 summer solstice. Moody and mysterious Scorpios should be a little less moody and mysterious and instead promote what they are working on. For example, they could put their greatest hits on a website, social media feed, or in a presentation—anything that clearly shows what they’re capable of. Then they can show those accomplishments to their boss in a cohesive way. It’s also a good time for a romantic moment of truth for those born under the sign ruled by Pluto, so go ahead and confess your attraction to that special someone if you’re single; or, if you’re in a relationship, ask your partner to take a trip or move in together. More good news for those with October birthdays: You are more likely to live to be 100.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

There’s no holding back for the Archer during the summer solstice.  Now is the time for those born under the sign of Sagittarius to know their worth.  Be sure to wait for the best offer to come in. It is wise to negotiate.  This could be a once-in-a-lifetime offer or an intense romantic encounter that they’ll have to act quickly on. It may only end up being a stepping stone to something else, but it will be an experience they’ll grow from, so they shouldn’t miss it. (Think: a special project that will build Sagittarius’ resume or a relationship with someone who’s only in town for three months.) Don’t try to figure out the forever future right now—just leap!

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Capricorns will have major relationship mojo near the summer solstice, so it will be a great time to invite people into a partnership, to propose something for business…or literally to propose! They will see the merits of teaming up, and they’ll be completely charming and confident in their endeavors.  Show your interest in others by putting it all on the line. ‘Hello, I am here’ is the banner you should wear.  Invite people to chat or meet for coffee, and be sure to have time in your heart for people you love.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Health matters for the Water Bearer during the solstice. Aquarians will have enjoyed a month of indulgence prior to the solstice…and perhaps too many curly fries. They are generally active and fit, so this will be the time to get back to their usual selves and launch into healthier eating, sleeping, and exercise routines. While they’re at it, they should be sure to address any aches and pains. Considering getting a pet to help you reach your exercise goals?

Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Follow your passions during the summer solstice. Remember: Jupiter is in Pisces, which makes June 20 a powerful day to make a statement. And it’s important to do that.  If you care about something, speak up or people can slip away. Express yourself strongly and dramatically. Tell someone you love them or convey another strong sentiment instead of being secretive or vague. Move beyond your fear and hold onto those you treasure.

The New Moon In Gemini On June 10 Calls For Some Major Life Changes

Eclipse season is finally winding down and it’s (fortunately!) leaving us with a little sparkle on it’s way out. On June 10, we will have a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini, which will invite us to initiate changes that will reverberate over the next six months. Are you ready to shake up the way you communicate, experience opportunities to learn new things and open new roads to fulfillment?! Read on to learn more.

For the last few weeks, not only has Mercury been retrograde, but the energy of the first eclipse of the season (the May 26 Full Moon Eclipse) is still lingering. It has been a time of self-reflection and digging deep into our psyches to gain greater understanding of ourselves and our influence on the world. You may have had all sorts of epiphanies, especially in regards to how to manifest a greater sense of freedom that allows you to march to the beat of your own drum. This energy will roll very smoothly into the upcoming New Moon Solar Eclipse, especially if you decide to take all the wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) things you’ve learned about yourself into consideration when working on your intentions.  

Let’s back up for a moment. What is a New Moon Solar Eclipse and what makes it so special? A New Moon Solar Eclipse is like a super-charged, super-potent new moon. Similar to a regular monthly new moon, this is a great time to begin something new, or at the very least, set intentions to manifest new experiences. However, the key difference between a New Moon and a New Moon Eclipse is that anything situations that arise during or around the time of the eclipse will have a much longer impact on your life. This is due to the presence of the North and South Nodes, which, in Astrology, speak to our higher callings and purpose in this lifetime. 

For this reason, eclipses are notorious for helping us recalibrate ourselves on our higher paths, especially if we have veered off in the last six months. Some astrologers even believe that if you watch the days immediately surrounding the eclipse, you will gain great insight into key lessons or focuses over the next six months. 

This eclipse will not only be in the sign of Gemini, which rules communication, learning, short-distance travel, transportation and electronics, but it will also be strongly influenced by mercury retrograde and Neptune. Because of this, you may find yourself fighting through a little confusion and mental fog to find the gift during this New Moon Eclipse.

With Mercury still in retrograde until June 22, information might even feel sparse or inconsistent.  Moreover, Neptune—which rules perception, illusions, disillusions, addictions and emotional sensitivity—might make our view of reality and ourselves a little touch and go. The trick to finding the diamond in this type of energy is to be willing to question your reality with curiosity and compassion. 

This is no time for judgment, blame or any other low-vibe behavior.  It’s a time to let Saturn help you to set clear, concise boundaries and goals that will help you access your highest sense of self. You are more powerful than you can even imagine, love. Let this eclipse and the universe guide you to connecting more deeply to your power.  Happy New Moon!

Since the Blood Moon Eclipse on May 26, we have been walking a portal between the old and the new, between one state of consciousness and the next. This portal finally comes to an end on June 10, with the arrival of the New Moon Solar Eclipse.

This New Moon Solar Eclipse represents a new beginning. Whatever path has been cleared for us by the Blood Moon, we can now begin to see where we are heading.

No matter where we currently stand, this Solar New Moon Eclipse will ensure that we are headed in the right direction. It signals a time to embrace the new.

Trust in whatever has been moving and shaking for you. Know that whatever needs to fall away will fall, and whatever needs to stay will stay. That is the nature and power of Eclipses.

This June 10 New Moon Solar Eclipse falls in the tropical sign of Gemini at 19 degrees. It is an Annular Eclipse, which means the shadow of the Earth will move into the middle of the Sun, creating a ring of fire. 

Gemini is represented by the twins, with one twin being mortal and the other immortal. These two twins represent the duality we face on Earth. We are humans, limited by our physical bodies and in need of material comforts, but we are also limitless souls, on an endless journey of growth. 

On a human level, we can find ourselves labeling things or events as good or bad, but on a soul level, we understand the bigger picture and know that all experiences serve their purpose.

Recognizing this duality within us can be tricky, but may also help to bring some ease as we navigate any changing or unsettling energies that flow our way.

How can we let go of the labels and stories we are telling ourselves, and look at things through a new lens?

With Neptune involved in this June Eclipse, and Mercury still in retrograde, we may find ourselves coming face to face with some new information or even mental processes that may feel overwhelming or confusing.

Even though this New Moon Eclipse promises new beginnings and is a fertile time to plant seeds, it calls for us to move slowly and to trust in our intuition. If something feels off, listen.

In fact, a good reminder under this Eclipse energy is to not believe everything you think or hear!

We are walking on new ground now, and we need to get our bearings before we can confidently move ahead, so don’t be afraid to pause and wait till you feel clearer.

Our intuition will be our guide, so if things feel mentally foggy or if you feel like you are being manipulated by someone, be sure to drop in and trust the wisdom and inner guidance of your soul. 

Along with Neptune and Mercury both being active at this Eclipse, so too is Saturn. Saturn is also currently in retrograde, and may stir things from our past that need to be looked at once more. This is not about going back to ruminate on the past, rather it is about acknowledging- what have I learned? 

We are moving into new territory under this Eclipse, but the wisdom from our past can be a faithful guide.

While the Eclipse is likely to trigger our past memories differently, it may also help to look back to events that took place during May and November of 2020, or if you can think that far back- December 2011. Does anything stand out from these time periods?

How The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini (June 10, 2021) Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign. Ummm…DUCK!!


A more evolved version of you is manifesting as we speak, so keep your eyes on the prize and keep vibing high. June is an exciting month as it is swirling with divine momentum, and propelling us towards a brand new chapter. Can you feel it? An intense series of astrological transits and retrograde effects, it’s safe to say, the contradicting duality of the mischievous twins is ever present during this time. What I mean by that is, retrograde cycles encourage us to slow down—in order to reflect, review, and revisit pending situations and/or unfinished business—but the irony of this is, we’re also in the midst of walking through a powerful eclipse portal, and well… eclipses usher life-altering events. dding to the paradox is Mercury retrograde during a Mercury-ruled season, but I digress. The Gemini-Sagittarius axis is currently being activated, and it’s highlighting our collective quest for knowledge along with the ability to connect with our immediate surroundings. Having said that, we can’t embark on a new journey without leaving something behind, so are you ready to turn the page?

Before we discuss the energies stemming from the upcoming new moon solar eclipse in Gemini, it’s important to explore the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse. As you may know, eclipses more often than not come in pairs; this first series of the year kicked off with a total lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26, followed by the upcoming new moon solar eclipse in Gemini on June 10 at 6:53 a.m. EST. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and a full moon; this adds incredible emphasis to the full moon’s energy and it can typically bring abrupt endings, especially when it comes to the people, places, and things no longer serving us. (FYI: Lunar eclipse effects can take up to six months—stay tuned.) A solar eclipse, however, takes place when a new moon sits directly between the sun and Earth. An incredibly potent new moon, this stellar phenomenon slingshots us forward into an unexpected new beginning that’ll bring us closer to our soul’s truth. All in all, eclipses target low-frequency vibrations and energetic patterns stifling our highest good; surrender to it.

There’s something brewing and chances are, you can feel it in your bones. Again, don’t be discouraged by your fear of the unknown; embrace the serendipity of change. A new moon (annular) solar eclipse at 19 degrees Gemini, this super potent lunation will conjunct Mercury—the celestial ruler of this solar eclipse—bringing a significant amount of emphasis to mercurial themes, but Mercury is also retrograde. For reference, take a moment to reflect on the essence of Mercury/Gemini, as it is a symbol of communication, technology, thought process, immediate surroundings, siblings, neighbors, and miscellaneous exchanges we deal with on a regular basis.

Something else to remember during this time is, Gemini is a symbol of your inner duality but more importantly, it has everything to do with your communication style. For instance, let’s say Gemini governs your tenth house of career; this  eclipse will not only bless this area of your chart with momentum and kick start energy, it will also present you with the opportunity to speak up, and perhaps look at things from a different perspective. Gemini is known for being fickle when in reality, this mutable air sign is simply capable of looking at things a number of different ways. Don’t limit yourself to one belief system. The answers you seek are slowly-but-surely coming to light, and the information you’re about to obtain could very well surprise you. And despite the slow-moving effects of Mercury retrograde, what you learn now will influence the energy of that which you’ve been quietly contemplating since last month’s lunar eclipse. Moreover, the sun, moon, and Mercury Rx will be at odds with hazy Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, and universal oneness. This, of course, adds another layer of confusion to the mix, so tuning into your intuition is key.

Read your new moon solar eclipse horoscope according to your zodiac sign below:

Aries
I’m not going to sugarcoat it, Aries. You’re exhausted and you have every reason to be, but contrary to your beliefs, the answers you seek are right in front of you. The new moon solar eclipse—along with Mercury retrograde and the North Node—will touch down on your busy third house of communication, thought process, and immediate surroundings, presenting you with everything from a bright idea to a completely different perspective. And while some of these eureka moments seem groundless and/or unjustifiable at the moment, your challenge is to trust the process, and surrender the outcome. There will be a lot of movement for you in the near future, so hang tight and keep an open mind. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I have faith in the person I’m becoming because I am unstoppable. 

Taurus
Your relationship with money is an ongoing theme for your Venus-ruled archetype, and believe it or not, there’s plenty more where that came from, Taurus. A new moon solar eclipse will shake up your second house of comfort, money, and value systems, and square off with boundless Neptune amidst its journey through your freedom-loving eleventh house of associations, friendship, and sense of belonging in the world. This will challenge you to discern between the desire to stay in your comfort zone vs. the longing to explore other horizons. Keep in mind, with Uranus in your sign, let alone at odds with Saturn retrograde in your expansive ninth house of self discovery, something tells me you’re about to boldly go where none have gone before. You’re ready. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am in tune with the universe within and all around me; I am well-guided.

Gemini
Happiest of birthdays, Gemini. Cheers to another magical journey around the sun. As you may know, this new moon solar eclipse has your name on it, so I hope you’re ready for this new chapter. Although, don’t be discouraged if things still feel hazy, especially when it comes to your professional life. The feeling of uncertainty is truly undeniable, given the eclipse and your planetary ruler, Mercury’s, square to elusive Neptune in your tenth house of prestige, reputation, and legacy. Nevertheless, this is an opportunity for personal and professional growth. Give it six months; you’re cultivating new connections and upgrading your personal brand. Have no fear; your authenticity is calling. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am worthy and abundant; I am a magnet for success.

Cancer
Let go and let the universe do what it does best, Cancer. There’s no denying the effects of eclipse season but considering your connection to Mother Moon, these celestial occurrences are bound to affect you more than most. Be gentle with yourself. The new moon solar eclipse will not only illuminate your mystical twelfth house of closure, dreams, karma, hidden agendas, and all things behind the scenes, but also clash with hazy Neptune in the process. So whether it be releasing an actual belief system that’s limiting your potential, or letting go of a situation in your current reality, something’s gotta give. Granted, surrendering something is easier said than done, especially when you don’t know what to expect, but this is your challenge. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am at peace with my past experiences, and look towards the future with hope.

Leo
You are limitless, Leo. You can have anything you put your mind to, as long as you follow your heart. A new moon solar eclipse will highlight your experimental eleventh house of associations, friendships, hopes, future visions, and sense of belonging in the world, and it will simultaneously clash with dreamy Neptune via your intimate eighth house of collaborations, sharing, joint ventures, and sexual chemistry. Some of you could be looking to connect with like-minded individuals in your extended network and/or social media, and yet experience feelings of uninhibitedness when it comes to the mere thought of merging, and trusting. Saturn’s second square to Uranus in your career sector adds a layer of rebellion to the mix, but only to liberate you from what’s been keeping you stagnant. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am the creator of my future, and the divine architect of my reality.

Virgo
You can’t put your finger on it, but you know something’s waiting for you over the horizon, Virgo. Whether it be personally and/or professionally speaking, the new moon solar eclipse will present you with new opportunities, some of which require the support of a significant other. And despite whether you’re single or already attached, the eclipse’s square to Neptune—via your committed seventh house of agreements, compromise, and one-on-one relationships—adds a layer of ambiguity to the mix, giving you no choice but to trust in the infinite possibilities. Falling for that special someone? No stress is necessary, especially when the power of divine timing is at play. For those of you building your empire, don’t worry about the “how,” and write it all down. It’s all unfolding the way it’s supposed to. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am bold, vibrant and worthy; I am planting the seeds of my bright future.

Libra
You learn something new everyday, Libra. The second eclipse of the year will illuminate your thrill-seeking ninth house of expansion, faith, knowledge, and wisdom, intuitively guiding you towards the mysteries of the unknown. Whether it be your fascination with astrology, or perhaps your decision to return to school for a second degree, it’s time to indulge in your curiosities. The challenge? The sun, moon, and Mercury retrograde will square off with ambiguous Neptune via your detail-oriented sixth house of due diligence, creating confusion when it comes to your next move, but have no fear. Your higher self is working diligently with the universe, so don’t settle for anything less than your soul’s truth. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I trust in the divinity of my inner compass; I can manifest what I envision.

Scorpio
How deep is your love, Scorpio? The new moon solar eclipse will activate your sultry eighth house of intimacy, mergers, inheritances, shared resources, and soulmate connections, highlighting everything from your sexual unions to your mutual investments, but there’s more. The sun, moon, and Mercury retrograde will be at odds with ambiguous Neptune via your romantic fifth house of love, passion, pleasure, and self-expression. And though everyone knows you’re a ride-or-die, it’s important to use your discernment when it comes to matters of the heart, as well as your talents. It’s time you start investing in your happiness. When you’re loyal to yourself, what could go wrong? New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: My ability to connect with others is part of my superpower, and I choose magic.

Sagittarius
Sharing is caring but the boundaries you set along the way are no exception, Sagittarius. Your innate desire for freedom requires balance and compromise, so be sure to keep an open mind. The new moon solar eclipse will ignite your harmony-seeking seventh house of agreements, compromise, negotiations, and significant others, but it will simultaneously clash with boundless Neptune via your emotionally driven fourth house of home, family, and innermost feelings in the process. Sounds cliche but the essence of Neptune is reminding you to set firm boundaries in your relationships, especially when it comes to your personal needs, so keep this in mind. Moreover, this is an opportunity for you to cultivate new connections, and nurture your allies. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am worthy of appreciation, admiration, and respect; I treat others the way I want to be treated.

Capricorn
Maximize your day, Capricorn. Despite your Saturnian mind and boss babe ways, there’s always room for improvement, and well… you know this more than anyone. The new moon solar eclipse will illuminate your responsible sixth house of wellness, work routine, divine duties, and acts of service, highlighting everything from your productivity levels—and/or lack thereof—to the habits that no longer serve you. The challenge? The eclipse will be at odds with ambiguous Neptune via your third house of communication, thought process, and immediate circles, so it’s important to be mindful of distracting situations and/or sabotaging thought patterns stifling the flow of your day-to-day. Otherwise, this clean slate is a gift from the universe, so use these energies wisely. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am in control of my thoughts and actions; I make decisions that lead to my highest good.

Aquarius
Aquarius, you’ve got a diamond heart. You’re an encyclopedia of talents and witty pick-up lines, and there’s plenty more where that came from. The new moon solar eclipse in Gemini will touch down on your sunny fifth house of happiness, romance, creativity, but it will simultaneously face off hazy Neptune in your stability-seeking second house of comfort, finances, and value systems. Bad news first? You could find yourself second-guessing whether or not you’re capable of achieving some type of recognition and/or validation, but that’s a worse case scenario. On a brighter note, this could help you tap into your unique charms and creatrix ways. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am aligned with my divine purpose; when I follow my heart, I am the best version of myself.

Pisces
You’re going inward, and building a home within yourself. The second eclipse of the year, this super potent new moon will touch down on your domestic fourth house of home, family, innermost feelings, and emotional foundations, but it’s simultaneously squaring off with your hazy planetary ruler, Neptune. The close proximity between this eclipse and your celestial ruler makes this energy that much more personal, so be gentle with yourself. For some of you, this could have something to do with your autonomy/identity and your family dynamic, while others of you learn how to unapologetically express your true feelings. Take your time; it’s all a work in progress. New Moon Solar Eclipse Affirmation: I am healing myself; my troubles cannot bring me down.

Tarot Card of the Solar Eclipse, New Moon Week, June 7-13, 2021: Ten of Swords

We have certainly gotten lots of messages about endings and beginnings since its last appearance in mid-April. After all the recent support from the Ace of Pentacles and The Fool, this week it appears we are also challenged to a big letting go.

And what better time than this week that features a powerful Solar Eclipse-fueled New Moon?

As I’ve explained many times, this grisly looking card is not about physical death, but about the ending of some mental construct: an idea, a persona, a perception, an attitude, or a way of thinking.

Clearly, this is not a champagne-toasting, dance in the streets kind of ending, so fasten your seat belts, dear friends; it could be a bumpy week.

The Tens of each suit are the overflowing of that suit’s energy. With the Cups, for instance, it is the overflow, the zenith and then some, of love, emotional harmony and happiness. In the Ten of Swords, we have the over-the-top challenge of the Swords. One sword is quite enough to kill someone. Ten swords, stuck in the back, no less… well, you might say, “over-kill.”

The Ten of Swords depicts complete, absolute collapse.

Overwhelmed at last, despite our best efforts, we face the utter ending, dead as can be, of an idea, relationship, plan, communications, or a situation with which we have probably struggled.

There can be no doubt, no revival, no spin, no restoration or repackaging. This card tells us to let it go; it’s really, really over. But remember that Swords correspond to the Element of Air.  They tell us about our thoughts – not physical reality. They are about perception, attitude, and how we interpret the world around us.

Thus, painful as it may be, with this final surrender, you will receive the secret gift within this card.

For notice, that, unlike other Swords cards that feature turbulent, stormy waters, the lake or river in the background is peaceful. And, in contrast with, say, the Nine’s completely black background, here the storm here has passed, and day is breaking.

Even more telling, the victim’s right hand is making a sign of benediction and peace. In the last throes of this brutal death, forgiveness was given, understanding was reached.

When we have no choice, the only way is through.

With the potent Gemini energy of the Solar Eclipse, we have the chance to make essential changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. Flaws in a fundamental system in our lives reveal themselves around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or start fresh. Something ends for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something to move forward into a new chapter in our lives.

Although the “new” may be unrecognizable, it is crucial to surrender to the unknown. Knowledge and diversity motivate us with the Sun in Gemini. Of course, Gemini is an Air sign, right in line with Swords. And a “fundamental systems” reevaluation could not possibly be more Ten of Swords-y.

Question: How many personal contacts, social media “friends”, teachers, gurus have you already instinctively unfollowed, unsubscribed from, or lost sight of so far in 2021 because your wavelength no longer matches theirs?

This all points directly to our thoughts and our projections. Clearly, the eclipse and the Tarot agree that much of who and what we listen to, who our teachers are, and where our allegiances lie (all Swords again!) is due for a dust-up and departure.
