How the Cosmos are helping us shape our new tomorrow; our new normal

Gemaste family!
The gem in, “I recognize the gem in you!”
I’m sending you all an abundance of love during these trying times. Just as we were beginning to see restrictions lifted with the pandemic, the world has been reminded of the long-standing virus of racism. Sparked by killings of black men in America, Aubrey and Floyd. There is a global cry for justice and equality. All across the world including in our city of Toronto, protesters have taken to the streets in the demand for their voices to be heard.
We are hearing that change is now and our youth are those agents of change. Many of the protests have been hijacked by agitators and are taking away from the voices of our youth. Let’s listen to what the cosmos have to say.
I write with a myriad of emotions under this full moon eclipse in Sagittarius. Eclipses are a period for emotional reset in these times. I think we would all like to reset 2020. But remember as we last discussed, 2020 is not canceled; it is being restructured. Cosmically, the reset starts now.
Under a normal full moon, we would give thanks for what has grown or illuminated in our lives and release anything that no longer serves us. Full moon energy is most potent three days prior to the moon, and three days after. With an eclipse, the energy lingers for up to six months.
We have our first of three eclipses June 5th in the sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius ruled by the planet of expansion Jupiter, is a fire sign of adventure and philosophy. Sagittarius is also a sign of truth. With the Sun in the sign of Gemini, Sagittarius’ opposite, we are being invited to explore our philosophies and find our truth. Gemini is the sign of child like curiosity and communication. We also have strong influences from Venus and Mars. Venus (planet of love), and Mars (planet of passion and aggression) both want to enter this conversation.
This combination of energy supports why our young people, with their childlike curiosity, passion, and love for justice have taken to the streets to have their voice heard. They carry a fire for change. As Sagittarius is a sign of philosophy, and a sense of wisdom, we can support our youth by helping to direct their fire. We all have a role to play in shaping our new tomorrow or new normal. The quarantine and the pandemic taught us how important freedom, human touch and compassion really is. We were called to support each other from a distance to keep us safe and sane.
In the beginning of the year, we discussed that healthy vulnerability will be a requirement of 2020. Our healing and liberation are intertwined. Much like how the cosmos combine energies that influence us all.
I know this has been a challenging year so far, but hey we’re half way through. This is a time of change, a time of transformation and healing. The eclipse portal is awaiting us to step into our truth. The fire will burn away the illusions that keep us captive.
Gemini rules the lungs and throat chakra. Mr. Floyd’s last words were “I can’t breathe.” We still can!
Let us use our breath of Mars passion to speak power, equality, and justice for all. Let’s use our breath and our voice to speak life, to speak hope, to speak compassion and Venus’s energy of Love.
As we all stand in this moment of truth, remove the masks of injustice and racism and breathe!
