ARIES

Most alchemical treatises begin with the process of calcinatio, the intense heating of a solid to drive off excess water and impurities. This June 2021 is a propitious time to reflect upon the intense and purifying fire you have recently endured. This is a fine time to reflect upon your spiritual purpose—as a Sagittarius—to be a catalyst to yourself and others.

Rededicate yourself now to your renewed spiritual vision.

CAPRICORN

Magicians must be good astrologers to know when genuine magic can happen. Capricorn has such a time this June as Saturn, your ruling planet, makes its most auspicious contact with Uranus . You have the ability to successfully seed an intention within the hour suggested. Or concentrate then upon an important matter that has been stuck and needs to move forward with creative change. Watch what happens. Study the art of magic, as all you need now is the knowledge of an effective technique and the will to use it.

AQUARIUS

Magic is at hand for Aquarius as well. You approach one of your most propitious cycles of 2022 especially for those born the last two weeks of January. This month’s Solar Eclipse makes its positive aspects to your Sun and to Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter. This celestial pattern acts like a cosmic “mental attractor” pulling the future toward you. You now have stronger imaginal power to specifically envision and seed your future. Empower your dreams with strong intention. Make a collage of words and images that you would like to see manifest for yourself. See this in your mind’s eye. Study this collage. See this vision drawing toward you. Stretch into its possibilities.

PISCES

Earth to Pisces! This month’s solstice powerfully conjoins Saturn to help you feel more grounded and comfortable in your body. Neptune-ruled Pisces sometimes have a hard time accepting earth life. Have you noticed how you yearn to escape into other dimensions? This yearning is good for your spiritual and artistic life but creates suffering, as you feel imprisoned in matter. Concentrate on how you root yourself to the earth. Practice grounding exercises: stamp your feet. Drum. Eat root vegetables. Sit on the earth. Hug a tree. Garden. Work your hands in clay or through a bowl of soil. Start a regime to strengthen your body.
