It is officially summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere with the Solstice happening yesterday, June 20th. 

The solstice refers to two points in the year when the Sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky as observed from Earth. This marks the longest and shortest days of the year. There are two solstices annually (summer and winter).

During the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, resulting in the longest day of the year. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the shortest day of the year.

The Solstice always occurs while gates 10 and 15 are activated. Right now the Sun is in gate 15 and the Earth is in gate 10. The Full Moon in Capricorn is happening this evening at 6:08 pm Pacific, which will be activating gate 10. 

Solstices are seen as turning points in the solar year, symbolizing shifts in energy and consciousness. They mark the transition between light and dar...

The New Moon in Gemini is on June 6th at 5:37 am Pacific, activating gate 35, the Gate of Change. This is happening just following the Venus Cazimi on June 4th, which is also happening in gate 35. On June 6th, the Sun, Venus and New Moon will all be in gate 35.6.  

A cazimi refers to a planet being conjunct with the Sun. A Venus Cazimi is a powerful and favorable astrological event, which enhances Venusian qualities and has the potential to bring positive influences in love, relationships, creativity, and finances. Its effects can provide a period of heightened harmony, beauty, and personal fulfillment. 

This Venus Cazimi in Gemini enhances the ability to express love, affection, and appreciation through words, making it a great time for heart-to-heart conversations and resolving misunderstandings.

Jupiter and Mercury are also in Gemini, creating a powerful stellium of planets currently in Gemini. This is  because Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is in its home sign.

The full moon in Sagittarius is happening on Thursday, May 23rd at 9:53 am Eastern and is activating gate 34, which is currently transiting the Earth.  

The programming partner to gate 34 is gate 20, which creates the Channel of Charisma. Whenever one of these gates is activated by the Sun or the Nodes, we get the full channel activated through the transit.

Programming partners are 2 gates/ Gene Keys that are bonded together through their opposition. They are exact mirror opposites in terms of their position on the wheel and the structure of the hexagram. 

Programming partners create a biofeedback loop that reinforces the themes of those 2 gates/ Gene Keys at every level of frequency (not-self/ authentic self and shadow/ gift/ siddhi). 

This is why it’s so important to contemplate the programming partner of each of your gates, even if you don’t have that gate defined in your chart. To fully understand a gate or Gene Key, you must contemplate its opposite.

Tomorrow, May 18th, Jupiter will move into the heart of the Sun, which is known as a Cazimi.  

In astrology, "cazimi" refers to a planet being conjunct (within 0.25 degrees) with the Sun. When a planet is in cazimi, it is said to be in a position of strength or heightened influence. 

Traditionally, this is seen as a very powerful and fortunate placement, as the planet is said to be "in the heart of the Sun," receiving its energy and being purified by its light.

This is happening while Jupiter is in the final 2 degrees of Taurus, just before it moves into Gemini on May 25th.  

Jupiter spends about a year in each of the 12 zodiac signs, so we are coming to a close in the current chapter of Jupiter in Taurus. 

In astrology, a Jupiter Cazimi is considered a highly auspicious and powerful alignment. Jupiter is associated with expansion, growth, wisdom, abundance, and good fortune, while the Sun represents vitality, energy, and consciousness. When these two benefic planets...

The new moon in Taurus is on May 7th at 8:21 pm Pacific and is activating Gate 2, the Gate of Higher Knowing.  

This is one of the best new moons of the year with it being the first after the eclipse season and Mercury stationing direct. The Moon also loves being in Taurus. Taurus is known as the place of the Moon’s exaltation.  

In astrology, there is a fundamental concept known as essential dignity which refers to the strength or power that a planet has in a particular sign of the zodiac. 

There are several essential dignities, each of which indicates a different level of strength or effectiveness for a planet:

Rulership (Domicilie): Each of the 12 signs has a planetary ruler.  When that planet is in a sign that it rules, it is considered to be particularly strong and capable of expressing its energy fully. This is where it feels most at home. 

Exaltation: Exaltation is a position of heightened influence for a planet. Each planet has one sign where it is considere...
