Eighty percent of our world population lives within 60 miles of the coast.  Why do we like beaches?  Science has something to say about this.  Our brains like being able to see our environs well.  We natural like vistas like hills, savannahs, and coastal areas, so we can see the possibility of harm from a distance.  And specifically for beaches, our primitive mind feels secure because water predators do not typically come from the water onto land.

Also, there is an enormous amount of food and material resources that are provided in or near water.  Then that whooshing sound of a calm ocean sounds a lot like the beating of a tranquil heart mixed with a relaxed breath cycle.  This sound helps us go into a meditative state easily.  Lastly our brains are hard-wired to love the color of blue.  Clear skies equal no threat, again settling our brain waves into calmer frequencies.  Beaches and lakes allow our primitive brain, where anxiety and fear sit, feel happy and calm.  So, go find you some water this week and relax.

Solar System highlights:  Moon starts in Taurus but quickly moves to Gemini this week, so communication and getting the word out is highlighted.  It then goes into Cancer on 8^th – great for self-care and nurturing, and then ends in Leo on July 10th – time to shine.  Mercury is still in Gemini until July 16^th, so communication is emphasized.  Venus and Mars are in Leo, it is all about loving the things you have around you, so time to manifest your desires if you are not feeling the love.  Also, it is a great time to be with those you love.  However, if you find yourself solo it is a perfect time to make new friends or get a new plant (if humanity is driving you crazy). Whatever you shine your light on will grow.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Cancer this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Capricorn it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Aries

Page of Wands – Last week the Muse of Final Exams came to test your resolve.  It seems you passed for this week the Muse of Invention has come to spark new creation.  Your imagination is essential this week.  Time to tap into new ways of doing things, and the best way to do this is through experimentation or play.  Look less at your success or failures this week and more about what you learned getting there.

Taurus

*Magician – Last week the Muse of Structures gave you guidance in investigating your constructs to see if they could sustain you for the long term.   Now the Muse of Divine Manifestation is here to help you either to fix the cracks you found or to totally recreate a 2.0 version.  Your ego alone will not sustain you to accomplish this manifestation.  You need to connect with the Divine and then be flexible to learn from your mistakes while experimenting with creation itself.  Remember 2021 and 2022 are all about innovation.  Do not recreate the wheel but build upon what has been, to create what needs to be.

Gemini

Ace of Swords – This week’s energy is all about insight.  The definition of insight is the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing. By gaining insight into these deeper qualities of the things and people around you, allows beneficial breakthroughs and cognitive concord to occur.

Cancer

Four of Coins – The Muse of Saving has come to tell you to hold back on extravagance.  She reminds you spending resources like money or energy needs to center around quality not quantity.  This is not only a theme this week but for the coming year.  And make sure, the what, how and where you put effort into, profits sustainability in the long-term.

Leo

Queen of Coins – The Muse of Luxury has come to help you redecorate.  Your birthday is coming up and you need to make a wish list of all the things you would like to materialize in the coming year.  Practicality is important to this Muse but so is healthy indulgence.  Have at least a few things on your list that make your mouth water, toes curl and create sighs of joy.

Virgo

Nine of Swords – The Muse of Overthinking has asked herself over.  This energy is not the best guest, but it can still teach you where to be kinder to yourself.  Each worry that arises ask these three questions.  What is triggering the feeling of anxiety?  Is it a true right now?  If so, what can I do to fix it, and if not, how can I comfort myself healthfully?

 

Libra

Three of Cups – The Muse of Friendship has come with beverages.  This week you need to hang out with your chosen family.  Those close friends that fill your cup with energy.  Find time to reconnect and share physical and emotional sustenance.

Scorpio

*Tower – The Muse of Deconstruction has come to inspect your foundations and structures.  You are not paying attention to what is not working in your environment.  So, follow this energy as it shows you cracks in your surroundings.  This can look as simple as literally needing to recalk your bathtub or as complex as finding a solution for that stressful thing you have been ignoring.  Now is the time for repair or your “house” will fall.

Sagittarius

Eight of Pentacles – The Muse of Mastery has joined you at your worktable.  You are good at many things, but you have only a few things you are extremely talented at.  This week do at least one of those things and keep practicing until   you have upped your game.

 

Capricorn

Three of Wands – The last couple of weeks you have been working with big energies.  The Devil had you modulate your speed and assess how far you have come so you can readjust how you want to continue.  Then the Muse of Inner Strength came to help you locate your inner true north, aligning it to your outer manifestations, thus creating a path of ease to your guiding star.  Now the Muse of Foresight has come to help map that path and pack for the journey.  Take this week to collect what you need to start your work.

Aquarius

Five of Cups – This week will be filled with messes.  The Muse of Spilled Milk has come to help you decipher which ones are your responsibility.  Your lesson is choosing which to clean up and which you can walk away from.  However, with either choice do not let it waylay your course or your joy.

Pisces

*Fool – The Muse of Clean Slates has come to remind you that this moment is a place of beginning.  A time where you can start on a new path.  You are divinely guided this week, but you need faith so you can step into this new unknown.  Trust where this Muse guides you, there are gifts at every step.
