The Tao doesn’t take sides;
it gives birth to both good and evil.
The Master doesn’t take sides;
she welcomes both saints and sinners.

The Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.

Hold on to the center.

Dear Friends,

Mars made an opposition to Uranus a few hours ago at 4:57 AM EDT on June 25, 2014 releasing a fiery blast of energy.

Over the coming days there are likely to be unexpected events, developments and breakthroughs leading to a fresh new start with the Cancer New Moon on June 27, 2014 at 4:08 AM EDT.

But this is volatile and explosive energy, that needs to be handled with awareness, especially as we move through the Dark of the Moon. Uranus is energy is electric, and here in NY there’s a thunder-storm, with spider-webs of lightening lighting the sky like I’ve seen only a few times before.

On a personal level, if something triggers fear, panic or heated emotions take a deep breath, before you react now and regret later. Especially in relationships, with the Moon in a trine to Mars — remember everything is negotiable, and you can really clear the air. But first release emotional baggage, center, balance your energy, be honest with yourself and remember, actions speak louder than words.

Also — the following are standard precautions but especially now — pay attention when driving, around fire, machinery, knives and doing anything that requires your attention.

This feels like an adrenaline rush. Like being on a roller-coaster, with a near vertical drop but then splashing and landing into a pool of water, or being cushioned. And there’s a whole flood of information coming through as we enter July. For now, if you keep your balance, stay centered, there can be real breakthroughs allowing you release the past, especially emotional baggage, so there can be a re-birth with the New Moon.

Let go of expectations and you could be pleasantly surprised with how much you enjoy something.

I’ll have more about July in the monthly astrology reports, as well as a special set of extended July Monthly Horoscopes for Jupiter’s ingress into Leo, ushering us into exciting territory this month and the coming year over the coming year, likely to be a wild ride.

Currently, the Moon is in Gemini, in its deep waning phase moving to a conjunction to Mercury Rx early tomorrow morning here in NY at 7:56 AM EDT on June 26, 2014. It then goes Void of Course until 5:05 PM EDT when it enters Cancer.

With the Moon Void in Gemini, all of the workday on Thursday here in NY, it’s likely to be a “quiet” day; at least on the surface. There’s a hush in the air and the energy would be best used introspectively, tuning in to your inner voice and continuing tasks rather than initiating anything new.

As the Moon enters Cancer, in its deep waning phase, remember emotional waters run deep. Take the time to reflect and release now so you can re-birth as you enter the new cycle.

Today, would have been my dear friend Sam Kapasi’s 41st birthday. Sam lived more fully in his 39 years, than many do in lifetimes. He wrote these words a few years ago, but anyone who met him would agree, he lived these words everyday of his life. And here’s a song we’ve listened to together a countless times, as I am reminded yet again of the fragility of life. This one’s for you Sam! Happy Birthday!
