June New Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual

---

The June New Moon is in sidereal Taurus and Mrigashirsha nakshatra, the constellation of Soma, the immortal nectar. New moon is June 13th at 13:44 MT. Sun and Moon in Taurus receive gaze from the restructuring planet, Ketu. The emotional body will be feeling changes and release during and after the new Moon. Make good use of your emotional body wisdom in the coming weeks and honor the need for change. What needs to be released in order to make space for your deepest nourishment?

Use the coming waxing cycle to pull up the weeds in your heart and clear the rubble from your emotional body. There is some very old grief that needs to be healed and released so you will have room for more of what you need and want. Clear, release, purge and let go. Align with your highest truth and deepest intentions. Make sure your actions support and honor your inner wisdom. Seek dharma, right action and align with your life path and purpose. There will be more resources and support in this cycle to help you clarify your dharmic path. Are you paying attention? Stay receptive to possible opportunities and guidance to help you get your needs met in new ways.

The coming waxing cycle is influenced by the qualities of Mrigarshirsha, the constellation of Soma, a personification of the Moon, Chandra. This nakshatra is symbolized by the antlers of a deer, always growing, branching and out changing. Deer antlers have traditionally be used medicinally as well as for an aphrodisiac. Its nourishing qualities relate to Soma, the divine immortal nectar of the gods. Thus Mrigashirsha brings the possibility for deep nourishment, but only as a result of change, branching out and seeking new resources.

Reach for more. Ask for what you really need. Become what you want to be. Allow yourself to change and grow. Move towards the nourishment. Where are you playing small and cutting yourself short? What needs to change so you can actually get what you need? What nourishment is missing from your life? Gather resources and support to help you clarify your path. Start deserving and receiving!

There is a tight conjunction of Exalted Mars and Ketu occurring in Capricorn right now and into the next few weeks. Mars and Ketu will be in exact degrees on June 13th. There is a lot of heat and power in earthy Capricorn right now. Volcanoes are likely.

Mars is the warrior planet and Ketu brings restructuring. Expect sudden changes and unexpected events. Explosive actions, emotions and choices can happen. Stay grounded, be methodical and avoid rash decisions and choices. Notice if you are pushing or forcing outcomes. Slow and steady wins the race- and prevents burns. Channel this powerful energy into positive, life supportive change. Align your action steps with your dharmic path and that which sustains and supports.

Venus moves to Cancer on June 8th, joining Rahu here. The fiery combination of exalted Mars and Ketu give their direct gaze. Relationships feel the heat, pressure and restructuring. Feelings intensify and the emotional body may feel confused and challenged by uncertainty. Rahu brings questions to the surface as well as vagary.
Seek emotional body clarity and keep your inner waters moving and purified. Release hurt, pain and grief safely. You will be asked to deepen your self inquiry. What do you need in order to be nourished- in relationships, Home and heart. Are you moving towards the nourishment? Or away from it?!

Watch for overly rajasic tendencies in the coming days and weeks. The heat is on and the changes may be swift.

With Saturn now back in Mula nakshatra, restructuring, release and pulling up weeds is occurring on a core structural level. You may feel the ground moving beneath you. Seek stability, support and grounding. Keep life as simple as possible and don't over complicate things.

Use this time to move closer to your goals and gain momentum for your path and purpose. Clarify and focus your direction. Ask yourself: how bad does it have to get before I make life supportive changes?

Creative Ritual

1) Identify the strongest emotion you are feeling right now. If you could find this emotion living somewhere in your body, where would it be? Lean in closer. Notice the sensations you feel with this emotion in the body.

2) As you lean into this emotion living in the body, notice if it has a color, shape, or texture. If this emotion had a sound, what would it be? Let this sound out of the body until you feel complete.

3) If this emotion in the body could share a message with you, what would it say? What does it need?

4) Create an image of this emotion  in your body, using craypas, paints, collage, or any other medium that inspires you. Spend at least 20 minutes on this image- until it feels complete. Give it a title.

5) Spend some time with your image and let it speak to you. If your image could share a message with you, what would it say? Let is respond to these statements:

I am, I want, I need

What have you harvested from the wisdom of your emotional body?
