Hey, how are you? Welcome to another week. If you can hear water. I have a hot water bottle on my lap. It's very cold where I am today. We are gonna talk about the solstice this final week of Gemini season, the foundational axis more on Jupiter into. Cancer, and I just wanted to begin with a check-in because there's been a lot happening. I held a class in December, which looked at the astrology of 2025, and I highly recommend grabbing that if you weren't there. We have. Much to unfold still in the year ahead. But what I was saying there, and in my writings for Rush Magazine, which you can also look up on the year ahead, this is a wild year. It's wild. There's no denying the wildness of it. We have these big movers. Societal transpersonal movers, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, all shifting signs for periods of this year. There's this huge, huge elemental shift from water and earth. Into fire and air, which really to me feels like this quickening in time and this quickening between thought to thing, vision to action. And you know, I hear from a lot of you, like there's, it just feels as we reach this middle point of the solstice this Saturday. On the 21st of June here in Australia, we begin to meet, well, we meet the halfway point of the year, and this will begin cancer season and will begin to illuminate this foundational axis, which is a brilliant time. I, I, I have really been looking at the year so far. Already, and I spoke about this last week with that Grateful Moon that we had in Sagittarius, and I just think this is a, a very good time astrologically energetically to be looking at what was our vision for this year and then what has been presenting itself. Is there anywhere where we are desiring a course correction or, planting even more deeper roots exactly where we are. So much has been shifting for me personally, a, a wild amount. And I've certainly noticed that with SAT and moving into Aries. I'm very into it, you know, it just feels like I'm, the path is clear and I'm taking a lot of action and it's bold. Some of it is bold. It all feels deeply, instinctively true to me. But there's moves being made. You know, I said in this class to, I'll link it below. This is a year of action and experimentation. 2025 is not the type of year where you just sit on your hands or you just ideate. Or you live in the comparison of you against the projections of everyone else uploaded onto the clouds and this and the platforms. This is a year of making moves, experimenting, trying things out. There's just so much that's percolating for so many of us right now. And for me personally, and this is really to begin to, to touch on this foundational axis, which is this opposition of cancer and Capricorn, which will be exploring from the solstice onwards as we enter cancer season. What I've really been looking at and what I always come back to. In this time, I guess it's very Cancerian and it's very to, it's what do I value? Where do I wanna put my time and my energy and why? What do I want my life to look like in an everyday kind of situation? What feels true and right for me? Deeply? Deeply? Versus here's what I think success is meant to be, because this is the program of success I've been sold. I mean, I, it's just a wild time, isn't it? I think we can all see that and sense that and feel that it feels like there's culmination point after culmination point, and as I've been saying, like. The astrology of the last few years has been really working to sharpen your intuitive lens, your, the root systems of your own self trust as you engage with your life. So this solstice point, I love this lead up to the winter solstice, and I know it's the opposite for you and on the other side of the world, but I sleep so deeply in these couple of months before the solstice because it just gets dark so early. And yeah, I just have, I sleep so incredibly and so does my child when, uh, they're with me. I can really notice the shift when it's dark for a lot longer. Uh, and you know, for those of us on this side, it is this incubation period very naturally. Even though in Australia, the sun shines for most of it, which I'm very thankful for. We can, it is this incubation time and symbolically. The hearth, the fire, the vitality, the life force is coming from within the home, let's say symbolically it's presented with the fireplace or through the fireplace, and I can't wait to have one of those again. You know, it's less about. The outdoor living, and it's more about the internal living, the domestic environment. Again, cancer, Cancerian Energy. For those of you on the other side, it's this time of embracing more of the outdoors, more of Sun Vitality life force through direct relationship with Sun. Cancer is a cardinal sign. Cardinal Energy is initiating and sometimes. I think we can get this sense that cancer is all about having a cry at home and yet that's there's, that's true. There is that, but it's cardinal energy. It's go-getter energy. It's an initiating out, so it's cancer will begin winter for us here in the southern hemisphere. Cancer, the solstice will begin summer. For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere. So it's a beginning sign of a beginning season, which is cardinal frequency. You know, it's initiating its force, uh, and even for us here in the colder climate, well, Australian colder climate. It is this checkin point for all of us. It is this checkin point. It's like the halfway of the calendar year. How am I feeling about what I'm, the moves that I'm making out in the world? What is, what is the inner calling are my feelings? Aligned with what's taking place outside. What information does the feeling self have for me, my inner world, my energetic landscape with Jupiter moving into cancer or now being in cancer, meaning what provides us with a sense of meaning that focus. It has now shifted more into lineage, our ancestral lines, uh, the maternal, absolutely the domestic environment. What makes my home life meaningful? What makes my inner world meaningful? So again, a lot of what I've been doing over the last couple of weeks is really just looking at. Uh, where I'm applying my energy and forecasting forward, like what do I want it to look like? I'm doing a lot of those things already, but it's like this refinement process or I'm bringing in more spaciousness to do more of those things. It certainly feels like a strong time, and I know it has been for a lot of you. And again, I mean, there's so many moves that are happening in my own world, including an upcoming physical move, which I'm very excited about. While we're in this last week of Gemini, I'd encourage you to, which I say to a lot of Gemini clients, I'd really encourage you to look at. How you are curating and putting for one of a better word, boundaries around what you allow into your world. Certainly what you allow into your world in terms of information, ideas, programming of what life looks like, what it should look like. How are you gonna celebrate the solstice? I think it's a beautiful. A thing to celebrate. I know for myself here, with it being the winter solstice, I'll definitely be lighting a fire somewhere, not in the bush somewhere contained. But I think this is one of these beautiful points in the year that deserve to be ritualized and experienced with people and friends and enjoyed within a group setting. I don't have much more to say this week there's certainly some interesting transits ahead in early July onwards, which I'll be speaking to in time. And I have an upcoming workshop actually, I've just added it to my website this morning. I just turned 44 last week. Thank you for all of the beautiful birthday messages. It's really sweet to receive so many. And I am in the final six months of my Uranus opposite Uranus Transit, which is a beautiful beast of a transit. There's a gorgeous. A woman who was in this round of astrology school, Rin Bler, hi Sherin, and she recommended I taught, I was telling the class about this series of transits that happened from approximately 36 to 37, around 36, 37 until 44 that are monumental. They're called the midlife transits. They need an upgrade and name. Um, I'm calling this workshop Wild Blooming because that's really what they are. And so I'm in the final stages of these four transits and when I was telling the class about them, Sherin suggested that I create a workshop for that, and I have. So thank you for the idea. I really appreciate it. And I felt like I was ready to talk about these because I'm at the tail end of them still in the experience of them, and it's very much, uh, this opposition's very much playing out in my life now and it's amazing. Uh, but I have a lot to say about all four of them. So if you are within the ages of around about 36, 37 to 44, then I'll link the workshop below. It'll be on the 7th of July, and I highly recommend it so you'll know that these have started for you if you are in your nodal return. So classically, the midlife transits are Pluto squares itself. So Pluto in the sky right now squares Pluto in your natal chart. Neptune squares itself, and then Uranus is in opposition with itself. Uh, and I'm adding the nodal return as the marker, the beginning point of these transits because it is, uh, your nodal return. So for any of you who have yourself node in Virgo and your north node in Pisces. Which is where the eclipses are taking place this year, and for the first half of next year, then you're in your nodal return and you have begun this cycle. the nodal return really being this time where we line up with these very strong. Archetypal energetics that were there in the year that we were born that have been pulsing alive in our being since then. And we really get the opportunity to see how we are or are not playing into our north nerd or how we are remaining within the comfort of the lower expressions of our south node. These four transits are big and strong. And really I would, I'm saying life refining. Very, very life refining. So much has happened to me in this time period. I had a child, my child, not just any, I. Went all in on my business and it's been my so in comfort that whole time. Uh, big, I made big, bold moves. Um, and I'm, and I'm still making those moves, but it has anchored me into more of myself and allowed me to refine and understand myself from multiple viewpoints. It, they're, they're unbelievably strong, beautiful, majestic transits, and I'll walk you through all four of them. I also have 10 mini readings that I'm offering to, to 10 people who want to have a reading where I talk to how this is playing out in your specific needle chart. That's all below. But this is my first workshop in. Six months, like since that astrology of 20 25 1. So I'm really looking forward to hanging out with you all and seeing you all there. Uh, if you are in within this age bracket, then you're in the experience of these transits. And as always, I think it's just great to understand the lay of the land. Like what is the landscape here? What's this, what is this territory that you're navigating? I'll break it down in ways that are very practical, very digestible. I'll speak to the astrology, I'll speak to my own empirical evidence. So I hope you'll join me for that. I've also just added some readings for this coming weekend too. I haven't had that many up because I wasn't sure. I'm booked out for the week after, but I just wasn't sure when I may be moving. And this coming weekend is free. So if you are wanting to have a check-in with your chart, if you've never had a chart reading or you, you've never had one with me, uh, this is a good time to. Do it. There's a lot happening and there's a lot that's about to happen in the coming months as well. So yeah, I wish you all a beautiful week and yeah, I'll speak to you next week. We'll have a gorgeous new moon next week in cancer and I hope you have a beautiful solstice this weekend. Bye.
