Hold your breath and dive in.
If you’re anything like me, you’re ready to jump into the sunshine of summer with a new taste of freedom on your lips. Last year had as many struggles as blessings which, as 2021 has proven so far, were necessary growing pains to emerge into a new year of hope, promise, and abundance. But the Universe has other plans - namely, raining on our (s)hot girl summer with more than one astrological hurricane.
The new moon solar eclipse in Gemini on June 10th ushers in a summer of rediscovery - of the environment, your inner circles, and most of all, yourself. Solar eclipses are normally energizing events, where you may feel a zesty burst of inspiration to pursue a new goal. However, our curiosity is met with a hurricane of confusion thanks to the planet of change, Uranus, squaring Saturn, the planet of restrictions and structure.
As icing on the cake, both the Sun and Mercury square the illusory planet Neptune, leaving us feeling drained, anxious, guilty, and in a mental fog when we’re not high on adrenaline.
These changing tides show us where we most need to heal, and shine light on which situations and attitudes we’ve finally outgrown.
We’re reminded by both retrograde planets Mercury and Saturn that what is meant for us will come, and what isn’t will take its leave - whether we expect it to or not. Lucky for us, Mercury stations direct on June 22nd, where we can feel some of the confusion, tech malfunctions, and foot-in-mouth moments subside after almost a month of its storm. With Saturn in retrograde from May 23rd to October 10th, this summer we’re re-examining our goals, eager for a shake-up.
As you move through this eclipse period - whose influence lasts until the next lunar eclipse on November 19th - go easy on yourself. You had to be where you were to be where you are now; and despite the odds, you’re still standing. Dive into the waves and you'll resurface anew.
Here’s your tarot forecast for the solar eclipse, based on your zodiac sign.
Gemini - queen of cups
Your emotional cup is full, Gemini, but it might spill over your shaky hands as you cross this uneven terrain. Your goal for this eclipse season is to love yourself, even when life gets messy and things don’t go the way you expect.
Cancer - seven of cups reversed
Reality is hitting you hard this eclipse season, snapping you out of any confusion about what choices you need to make for your own well-being. These changes may leave you unsure of yourself, but now more than ever, it’s important to trust your intuition and be your own champion.
Leo - nine of pentacles
Now is the time to enjoy the rewards of your hard work - but instead, you’re feeling restricted or hesitant to accept them. You deserve the blessings coming to you; the only one holding you back is yourself.
Virgo - justice
You may find yourself compromising your big plans for more practical concerns based on what others think is fair. However, keep the spark of inspiration (and travel plans) alive with a bit of planning ahead; your future self will thank you.
Libra - seven of swords
You have the urge to get out or pursue something others may frown upon, but you may find yourself walking on hot coals if you aim for a quick getaway. Rushing a difficult choice isn’t the way to go right now, so keep your words to yourself until you know where you’re stepping.
Scorpio - the chariot
You’re in the midst of movement, driving your cart forward yet terrified of holding the reins. Trust that your anxieties are only in your head and not on the bumpy road ahead, and you’ll find your ride to be much smoother.
Sagittarius - the empress reversed
Self-love isn’t always easy, but the Empress lifts your chin up gently to kiss your forehead and remind you that you’re worth it. The Universe wouldn’t throw you anything you couldn’t handle; it’s time to see yourself through its eyes.
Capricorn - three of cups reversed
Your pouting that the party’s over holds you back from noticing the abundance coming at you from all sides. Keep a close eye out for signs of these new opportunities, and you’ll find yourself back in the game in no time.
Aquarius - temperance
Plenty of miscommunications have you feeling out of balance. Temperance is a reminder to ground yourself in reality as your mind flies high in the sky, and you’ll find yourself restored as your mind clears.
Pisces - four of wands
This time is all about establishing new dynamics in your foundations. How can you be more cooperative with your family, friends, lovers, and coworkers? Examine what helps you feel valued, as well as what reassures others they are valuable and worthy.
Aries - ten of swords
Your mind may be working in overdrive, but your rapid-fire thoughts have you at risk of burnout. Journaling will help ease the troubles on your mind; as you put your worries to paper, you may just find they’re not as scary as they appeared to be.
Taurus - the high priestess
Your intuition is sending you signals, and it’s time for you to listen. In any decisions involving your judgment, trust your gut instincts to lead you in the right direction.
Sending you hope and abundance for the summer, shooting stars.
Sincerely,
Anastasia
