Metal Ox day, June 22. Mercury stations direct at 16°07 Gemini at 3pm PT: keep your patience as things tend to get wonkiest during a stationing day as matters ruled by Mercury, including transportation, communication, and the way our mind processes info adjust themselves to the new direction. Move forward slowly and give yourself extra time to get from one place to another, as Mercury won't be at full speed until he's out of his shadow phase on July 7. ✨ The Metal Ox day pillar mirrors the year pillar, emphasizing themes that have been at play this year. Since Yin Metal relates to communication, be mindful with words spoken and written, and refrain from getting triggered by something you hear or read - let it pass. 🌟 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQaB3AtHOMR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Metal Rat day, June 21. Venus links up with Neptune, awakening our sensitivity to the beauty around us. Open the heart to unconditional love, stop and smell the roses. When you see the world from a place of love and kindness, the world brings you love and kindness in return. 💜 We may spend some time reflecting on life around this time last year as the Metal Rat day pillar mirrors 2020's year pillar. So much has changed since then. With the Rat opposing the Horse month, we may be tempted to overindulge. Know when it's time to stop. ⚔️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXaJD9n-Vz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Earth Pig day, June 20 takes us into solstice as the Sun enters Cancer. We're now in the height of summer in the Chinese solar calendar, the exact middle of the Horse month, with Yang dominating. The I-Ching hexagram representing the solstice seasonal marker, the Creative Principle, is all Yang (solid lines) - all Light, and no Yin. With Fire element, associated with light and the heart, at its height, find inner joy in the warmth of the Sun. Treat your heart with loving kindness and creative expressions. Rise and rest in sync with the Sun. 🌞 Jupiter stations retrograde at 2°11 Pisces - by end of July, he'll be back in Aquarius till end of December to take care of some unfinished business. If you have planets or points between 22° Aquarius and 2° Pisces (or between 22° Leo to 2° Virgo or 22° Taurus/Scorpio to 2° Gemini/Sagittarius), think back to opportunities or challenges that came up in spring, you may be presented with something similar as Jupiter retraces his steps. And this time you may want to approach them differently. ✨ The solstice is an ideal time to spend time in nature to celebrate Mother Earth, associated with the day's Yin Earth. The Pig, a travel star, brings a busy day of movement and activities.🌀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQU65aQHBCW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Earth Dog day, June 19. Pluto links up with Pallas the goddess of wisdom in Pisces, showing us how to spot the wisdom behind the truth. Pallas encourages us to seek inner power through knowledge while Pluto transforms knowledge into power. With both Pluto and Pallas in alignment, how can you leverage your skills into making a difference in your world? Pallas is skilled in strategies and in Pisces, she gets to combine her smarts with her intuition. ✨ The Dog, a Yang Earth sign and ally of the Horse month, fosters a collaborative spirit. With strong Earth element, associated with Saturn, guiding us, this is an excellent day to carry out important tasks and align yourself with allies. Efforts made today can really bear fruits in the near future. ⛰🐕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQSRi1jnkzq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fire Rooster day, June 18. The sky's quiet. Tune in to the heart, associated with Fire element, to listen to your inner guidance. Angels surround us when you see the Fire Rooster in the day chart. 🔥 The Rooster, a Yin Metal sign associated with Venus, brings beauty and luxury. With the Moon also in Venus-ruled Libra, it's a lovely day to treat yourself. 💛 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQPu1iVnhqV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fire Monkey day, June 17. The sky's quiet. In the Chinese calendar, this is a "Full" day, an excellent day to carry out important tasks, launch a new project, and seek healing. Tune in to the frequency of joy so abundant on a Fire day. 🌞 The Monkey, a travel star, brings a busy day of activities. Take advantage of the highly positive energy of the day. 🐒 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQNJi3rH17q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wood Sheep day, June 16. Watch your thoughts as MercuryRx squares Vesta and the Sheep opposes the Ox year. Vesta, goddess of the sacred flame, is also related to our energy level and vibrancy - notice how your thoughts affect your well-being. A negative thought will weigh you down and lower your energy while a positive thought will lift you up. The Sun also squares Pallas, challenging us to find wisdom in our actions. Master your own mind - recognize when you're under a spell from a particular idea or conviction. 🍃 The prevailing energy already feels heavier than other days as the Sheep and the Ox are both Earth signs. It takes more work to raise your vibrations - it's just how gravity works - that's why self-work is difficult but necessary. The day's heavenly frequency Yin Wood, associated with flowers, leaves and grass, helps open the mind to other viewpoints - as our vision expands, we're able to see more beauty in the world and welcome a wider range of colors, shapes, and shades. 🌹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQKpqh_nMnK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wood Horse day, June 15. The Moon's void in Leo from 10:27am to 8:02pm PT. With 2 Horses in the day chart, pay attention to unconscious self-sabotaging behaviors, especially if you have a Horse in your chart. These include self-doubts, making excuses for the self, self-criticism, as well as procrastination (you can forgive yourself for this one as the Moon's void!) The day's Wood Horse is also a duplicate of the month's Wood Horse, highlighting aspects that have been playing in our life since we entered the Horse month on the 5th. 🌳🐎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQINL8SnI-K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Water Snake day, June 14. Saturn square Uranus is exact for the second time, one of the defining aspects of 2021. We've been feeling the tension, which is not just about the old and the new, as we reintegrate into an external world that's no longer the same. Think back to mid February 2021 when the aspect first became exact: what was going on in your inner and outer worlds then, and how have those changed in the past few months? How have your values and perspectives changed? Saturn as the traditional ruler of Aquarius is at home and in power, while Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, is not too comfortable in Taurus and is slower to react than usual. Change nevertheless happened as we realized we needed to hold ourselves accountable for our actions, no matter how insignificant they may have seemed. We've now been given another opportunity to evolve - review the lessons learned, and create a more sustainable path for yourself. 🪐 The Water Snake is one of the few pillars in #ChineseAstrology that carry the energy of heavenly protection and help from Heaven and Earth. Take note of signs and synchronicity happening today as they could carry messages from your guides, especially if you were born in a Water year or day. Make time for stillness to listen to the quiet voice of wisdom, associated with the day's soothing Yin Water. 💦 The Snake, an ally of the Ox year and a travel star, fosters a collaborative spirit. Stay mindful if you're on the road. 🐍 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFdHfPnjoW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Water Dragon day, June 13. The Sun squares off with Neptune, clouding our perception of reality. Be discerning with any convictions or beliefs you may have, and recognize when they have you under their spell. Get beyond the noise and the filters for the real truth. This could be a highly inspiring but unproductive time - soak in the inspiration and leave it at that. 💫 Yang Water in the heavenly stem of the day pillar, like big ocean waves or river currents, can force us off our center, while the Dragon, a Yang Earth sign symbolized by mountains and valleys of the world, is slow to move. Keep a high awareness of your surroundings. 🌊🐉 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQC0LxYH-P5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Metal Rabbit day, June 12. Venus starts off the day squaring Chiron, triggering old emotions that ultimately can lead to healing of the heart. We may be attracted to the new and unusual as the planet of love and beauty ends the day with a sextile to Uranus. The more open we are to trying something different in our healing journey, the better our chance for healing is. Step outside your comfort zone and stay present, you may find yourself enjoying the new experience. 💫 Yin Metal, associated with Venus herself in the heavenly stem of the day pillar, further reminds us to open the heart to beauty. Some of us can see beauty in everything while some can't find it - it's a reflection of the state of our heart. The Rabbit, a Yin Wood sign, helps awaken our eyes to the beauty around us. Temptation may be easy to find with two stars of romance (the Rabbit and the Horse month) plus star 4 of romance in the center of the daily #flyingstar #fengshui chart. Be the master of your own heart. 🌟 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQAGgE_HF2P/?utm_medium=tumblr

Metal Tiger day, June 11. Mars enters Leo: from now to July 29 is a time to expand whatever makes your heart sing. Be bold and generous with the heart. The Mars in Leo energy is very much aligned with the passionate, joyful energy of this month of the Horse as we head toward the peak of summer at solstice, when Yang/brightness reaches its height (link in bio if you'd like to review the outlook for June). ☀️ Saturn squares Ceres the Great Mother in Taurus, challenging us to address issues of sustainability in all that we do. Mother Earth is resilient, but her resources are getting more depleted as we keep consuming more. In Taurus, she'd like us to reconsider our values - are we defined by our things? ✨ With Yang Metal, associated with heaven and spirit, in the heavenly stem of the day pillar, the spirit within is your source for clarity. 🪶 Turn within to connect. The Tiger, ally of the Horse month and a travel star, fosters a spirit of collaboration. Stay mindful if you're on the road. ⚔️🐯 https://www.instagram.com/p/CP9q8xmnmDw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Earth Ox day, June 10 is also solar eclipse at 19°47 Gemini, exact at 3:42am PT, followed by the #NewMoon in Gemini at 3:53am PT. What Gemini represents in your chart will be of a significant impact in the coming months. With Mercury, ruler of the eclipse, conjunct the eclipse/new moon, the themes of communication and the ways we receive and process information are emphasized. Since Mercury's retrograde, a change of mind is likely as we're encouraged to look back, review, and re-process information received. 🌚 We may have felt a wave of emotions triggered by the eclipse since the full moon / lunar eclipse on May 26. We may have had trouble seeing the Yin clearly as Earth stood between the Sun and the Moon, the full embodiment of Yin. When the Yin and Yang within are not in balance, we tend to manifest their shadow sides and become fearful (Yin) and aggressive (Yang). But Yin is also about wisdom, intuition, nurture, and peace while a healthy Yang manifests into joy and courage. In this solar eclipse, the Moon may stand between Earth and the Sun, the ultimate Yang, but from our perspective, she's merging with Yang while also allowing the light to shine through. Some of us may be feeling giddy with joy while others become more fearful and anxious - what has not been fully expressed is what gets amplified during an eclipse - take note of the emotions that surface so you can address them. ☯️ Think of the solar eclipse as a big reset: it's a new world, and it's ok if you're also feeling like doing or thinking something new. It may even feel liberating to choose a new direction. As the eclipse also squares Neptune in Pisces, remind yourself to remove your existing filters to see what's real. In the spirit of the Gemini Moon, Sun, and Mercury: adopt a beginner's mind. Embrace the new path ahead as an adventure. ✨ The day's strong Yin Earth, associated with Mother Earth, reminds us that we're part of the whole. Return to your heart, your center. 🌎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CP7G4c_HtvP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Earth Rat day, June 9. Use the strong grounding energy of this Yang Earth day to still and center yourself before the solar eclipse on the 10th. With the Moon in Gemini and Mercury in retrograde, the mind may be overactive - even more reason to find stillness. ✨ In the Chinese calendar, it's a "Destruction" day, with the Rat opposing the Horse month, a day to release what's no longer needed. Take it easy. ⛰ https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4ttYFnGXr/?utm_medium=tumblr

[goldriverastrology]

Fire Pig day, June 8. It's another quiet day in the sky, the lull before Thursday's solar eclipse in Gemini. Keep yourself grounded in the days leading to the solar eclipse with meditation and mindful Yin practices. Think back to the emotions that came up during the lunar eclipse on 5/26. If those emotions are still being triggered, try to get to the root cause. ✨ Tune in to the heart, associated with the day's Yin Fire, whenever you need inner guidance. Earthly and heavenly angels surround us when you see the Pig on a Fire day. *Certain pillars such as Fire Pig, Fire Rooster, Water Rabbit, and Water Snake carry the energy of noblepeople and heavenly guidance in #Bazi / #ChineseAstrology. If you have these in the day or year pillar of your natal chart, you're always blessed with support and guidance from Heaven and Earth. 🕯 https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2Cnthn_m3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fire Dog day, June 7. The sky's quiet. In the Chinese calendar, it's an ideal day for launching or carrying out important activities. Take advantage of the auspicious energy, especially if Fire is your wealth element (that is, if Water is your self element / you were born on a Water day) as Fire element is most active in the summer months. 🌞 Tune in to the frequency of joy associated with Fire element. The Dog, ally of the Horse, fosters collaborative spirit. 🐕 👆Link in bio for more insights on the Horse month, the peak of summer. ☀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzf3LKHOB9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wood Rooster day, June 6. The sky's quiet. The muse is with us on a Yin Wood day - take a moment to nurture the creative within. 🌹 We're in the mood to play and socialize with two stars of romance (the Rooster and the Horse month) in the day chart. Since the Horse is the star of romance to the Rooster and ally the Ox, everyone benefits. Tune in to the affectionate energy of the day.
