Ok, brace yourselves, folks. Tomorrow (Monday the 20th) Pluto exactly squares Uranus again. This will be the 3rd in the series, and so close to the final eclipse, it is likely we will be heading for our Universal final exams this week. We are all likely to have a busy week with perhaps a few more shifts heading our way - particularly with Mercury moving so fast in Gemini. From my perspective, it is interesting to see how things are progressing. Each day or each week during this eclipse cycle, my perspective changes - adjusting, settling. I can see how I intentioned a lot of the stuff that is happening now and that feels really good and empowering. It's sort of funny to take a breath from the busy activities of making things happen only to find that in many ways, I have gotten just what I hoped to achieve - though it has been a bumpy ride.

If you have been doing the work, you may well be delighted with the changes that you are seeing - that work includes meditating, setting personal boundaries, taking care of ourselves and working each day toward our goals (even just taking baby steps). If you have been hiding under the covers waiting for things to blow over, you may not be feeling as good. I am surprised to see some folks on Facebook - people I think of as counselors and firmly on the path to the new way (some of them leaders, even) - displaying angry or judgmental points of view at random things. This reminds us that we ALL have a shadow side and the price of freedom truly is eternal vigilance - vigilance of our mind, thoughts, intentions and actions.

If we acknowledge that we are all Divinely connected and we acknowledge that thoughts become things, then we must also recognize that every attitude and opinion we display affects the whole group consciousness. We might even take it so far as to understand that everything that catches our attention is something that we had a hand in creating - well, that is to say, these things reflect something in us that is looking for attention or an outlet. I had a wonderful healing session last week with a re-connective healer, here in town, who brought this to the fore of my mind. As a Virgo, when Mercury changes signs or positions, I am always swamped with negative inner dialog... silly stuff, like "how could you have said that to her, 15 years ago?" or "that was a stupid thing to do 5 years ago." My healer friend said that that is very common and she gave me a trick for dealing with it. She said whenever something I don't like comes into my head I should say the following:

I am sorry
Forgive me
I love you
Thank you

Clean Clean Clean Clean

She said that this will not only neutralize my own negative mental dialog, but it will also remove or clean it from the group consciousness. She said this is a great way to use our personal power to mobilize Universal energy to improve our personal and group circumstances here on Earth and I have been working with this technique through the weekend. I am fascinated and delighted with it. I have been able to achieve deeper meditation with it as well as shift my focus in some key areas of my life. As a result, I seem to feel my intentioning working better and faster and I think of this in relation to our next Pluto Uranus square.

If you have been hiding under the covers, you may wish to use this technique to soften the pain the these strong transitions. She said 20 minutes of it is very powerful - I am doing it for as long as I think about it. This also works when we see something on the news or out in the world that we don't want to see. I would love it if some of you would try this with me and get back to me with your results.

So what is disrupted or stressful this week is likely to do with something you've been working on for some time. I could tell you more specifically if I was looking at your chart, but suffice it to say that this will be another important week for many of us. The last eclipse is late on the 24th (9:24pm PDT 12:24 on the 25th EDT) - and I again urge everyone to be careful driving, frankly all week long. The Sun enters Gemini on Monday and that might give us a burst of energy or a distracted mind. The 22nd looks good for handling responsibilities with Saturn doubly well aspected on the calendar - and then we have Memorial Day and Bank Holiday weekends after the eclipse to rest and regroup.

Remember - you are Divinely loved and an integral member of the group consciousness. You have worked hard over many lifetimes to be here at this important time. Now, all we need to do is put on our big kid panties, attend to our responsibilities and be open to the wonders of what we can create for our future. Frustrations may come our way, but many of them will help us to realign with our true purpose and our true intention, so they are not to be lamented, but celebrated - and then we will get to relax with some awesome feel-good aspects as this month ends and June begins.

Wishing you peace and all the very best. xoxo!
