A Summer Solstice, A Solar Eclipse, And A Grand Trine, Oh My

Greetings, Gifted Reader.

Hopefully, you enjoyed a happy Summer Solstice—an that event occurred on June 21. How do you feel so far? Are you shining sunnier during these carefree summer days? Or has the higher heat been just too inflammatory, triggering eruptions in your life like Madame Pele on Kilauea in Hawai’i Island?

You may already be aware, but a very important Astrological happening occurs on July 12 and 13—a partial Solar Eclipse with the New Moon in Cancer shadowing the Sun in Cancer. There’s also a Grand Trine forming among the planets Venus (in Virgo), Uranus (in Taurus), and Pluto (retrograde in Capricorn); along with Sun (in Cancer), Jupiter (retrograde in Scorpio) and Neptune (retrograde in Pisces). Altogether, they will form a six-pointed star.

The New Moon will also conjunct the U.S.’ Sun in Cancer.

Stormie Grace explains it all in her Youtube video:

So, what are your plans? Retrogrades are great for do-overs, btw. Think about what needs starting all over in your own life and apply the Eclipse-Grand Trine towards fixing those things. And, should you begin something new during that period, with all that Cancer energy flowing around, it would be wise to focus on honoring mothers, older females and those that nurture and ensure your safety and security.

Cancer is also about the home and family; thus, they tends towards introverted behavior. A highly emotional sign, Cancer can have a heard time explaining their feelings and resort to showing the world a grouchy, pouty face—for years! Just kidding, but you Moon children can fall into some deep, dark depressing holes so try to stay light and lively. We need you!

Both Robin Williams (July 21) and Anthony Bourdain (June 25) had their Suns in Cancer.

Good luck, light and love.

Summer Solstice And A Solar Eclipse

Greetings, Gifted Reader.

a setting Moon, ruler of Cancer

Summer Solstice has arrived. On June 22, the Sun entered shy Cancer and brought along her party-hardy, flashy friend called Summer. 

It’s interesting to note that introverted Cancer marks the beginning of this season—featuring loud and lusty good times when people strip off their clothes to bask in the glittering sunshine. Such a dichotomy.

Even though Cancer tends to be a sensitive, family-oriented homebody, it’s still a Cardinal sign and, as such, has ruled several U.S. presidents and many CEO’s. And, Cancer is the Sun Sign of the United States itself.

Check to see where Cancer is in your Natal chart and find out what planets will be transiting there this summer. Our Uranus Midheaven has already felt the effects of a Cancer transit and, as you can imagine, it's been quite shocking.

And, of course, this summer’s biggest news is the Solar Eclipse on August 21. For the first time in 37 years, it will be visible across several U.S. states. Read this article to learn more:

Since the Sun and the New Moon will both be in Leo at the time, check out your Natal chart for any transits and if those transits will be making any aspects to other planets in other Houses.

Meanwhile, Facebook has completely outed Gypsy Stars and refuses to allow the use of her business name—even though it’s been in circulation for over 20 years. Therefore, we will no longer promote our personal FB page. 

You can, however, still “like” our Urban Goddess fan page and feel free to open any metaphysical discussions you’d like there. And, please promote your own healing services, too.

Sigh. Our struggles continue with Cafe Press over our T_zing t-shirts. 

Enjoy your summer and until September 30,

Good luck, light and love.

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad March!

Greetings Gifted Reader,

celestial event...

Yesterday, March 20, ushered in several celestial events. Whether they will be for the good or bad remains to be seen.

For starters, we experienced the Vernal Equinox. That’s the official first day of spring when daylight hours and nighttime hours are equal, exactly 12 hours each.

There was also a total Solar Eclipse as the Moon blocked the Sun.

Additionally, a Super Moon occurred when the Moon orbited at its closest to Earth.

According to this article, link below, yesterday was “Freaky Friday”:

spring has sprung!

Astrologically, there was a New Moon in Aries even as the Sun entered Aries--the Sun at 3:45 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, and the Moon earlier at 3:28 a.m. Aries marks the beginning of any Astrological new year, and is an ideal time to start something new. If you want to begin a relationship or a business for maximum success, this is your best date to do so.

This is also a time of rebirth. If you consider the Gregorian calendar and its new year beginning on January 1, you can see that this period is near the end of the first quarter of 2015. It’s a good time to assess where you are so far, and make those changes you think need to be made. Aries is always about bringing in new ideas and refreshing old ones.

In Chinese Animal Astrology, the sign Aries has “The Moon of the Dragon”. There are many similarities between the risk-taking Ram and the courageous Dragon.

Dear Gifted Reader, what do you hope to achieve in this Astrological new year?

Good news for those of you living on O’ahu. Gypsy Stars will be teaching basic Astrology classes in Honolulu. This will be a beginner’s class that covers all the basics so you will be prepared to continue studying on your own once you complete the course. Stay tuned for more details.

Meanwhile, check out The Urban Goddess on Facebook, and our line of T_zing t-shirts at CaféPress.

Good luck, light and love,
