☆♥*♥☆Transformative Dragonfly~Hummingbird Charm☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

During the Spring and Summer I note the first sitings of hummingbirds and dragonflies.  Birds and insects are "winged-ones" and are Divine messengers, each bestowing their own wisdom at precisely the correct time in one's life.

My first hummingbird siting was on Sunday, June 6th, mid day, the day of the Moon/Jupiter conjunction in the sign of Aries. Mercury, also a winged messenger, entered it's comfort sign, Gemini on June 10th, days before the New Gemini Moon. Like the hummingbird, Aries is quick on it's toes, or wings, energetic, and ever fleeting. When hummingbird appears, speaking your personal truth is most important as time is of the essence. Hummingbird denotes charm, flirting and joy in love and dating.  Phone calls, communications, invitations are all possibilities when hummingbird darts into your life!

For the last few days though, I've been seeing dragonfly cruising amongst flowers moistened by the sprinkler.  It has been especially hot and humid on the East coast, in the 90's. Similar to the hummingbird, dragonfly "hovers".  It's form is quite delicate and lovely, silhouetted against a vibrant floral landscape.  Dragonfly is an insect, and are fascinating creatures. Dragonfly's prism-like wings are shimmering, luminescent jewels. They captivate the onlooker and possess the ability to draw one into the illusive dream state. Dragonfly is attracted to water, symbolic of emotions, intuition, illusions and the unconscious. They adapt easily to the environment and embrace a life of change.  Transformation is their keyword and is synchronous with the theme of yesterday's Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Capricorn.  

When dragonfly appears, the message is discarding what no longer serves the common good.  If it doesn't serve your Higher self, it's unnecessary. Is someone "hovering" over you, watching you? Attend to your inner life and unconscious motivations.  Then make peace with the past in order to embrace change. Remember to drift along like the wind, follow the breeze, wherever it blows...in its infinite wisdom.... knows.

Enjoy your day and remember, I'm available for consultations and readings 7 days via phone, e-mail or in-person.

☆♥*♥☆Strong Sun Moon~Flicker ☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

In Native American Astrology, those born from June 21~July 22nd are born under the Strong Sun Moon and their animal totem is the Flicker or Woodpecker. Their color is pink and they are part of the Frog Elemental Clan. The flicker is a member of the woodpecker family and is known for its perseverance and relentlessness in the face of something it desires or needs for its security or children. The flicker is quick, precise, and detail oriented.

☆♥*♥☆The Chariot~Number VII~Cancer☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

In the tarot deck, card number 7 is called The Chariot, symbolic of the depth of nurturing Lunar folks provide. The Chariot is the director of his own destiny so long as he stays focused along his path. He is in control and holds the reins of his feelings. He leads the way with unwavering focus, ambition, and determination. It's apparent he's anxious to get to where he wants to go, which isn’t always where he needs to be. Sometimes this focus and determination is detrimental. It’s important to look up from time to time and attend to what is going on around you. Overly ambitious, excessive desire to pursue a goal “at any cost” can result in “not seeing the forest from the trees” and will actually sabotage one’s goals rather than achieve them!

☆♥*♥☆Summer Solstice~Sun enters Cancer☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

Happy Birthday Cancer~The Moon-Child!

For those born between June 21~July 22nd. The Key Phrase is: I Nurture.

On June 21st, the Sun enters the sign of Cancer at 00 degrees. Uranian Astrologers link 0 degrees to all cardinal signs. Cardinal energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) initiates, is action oriented, and outgoing. These signs are restless, often impatient, open to change and project that energy onto others and the environment. Others may view them as domineering because of this desire to make things happen. Cardinal energy represents movement from an inner, passive quality to an assertive, outer quality. It is our will to be noticed, like seedlings pushing their way through the soils surface towards the warmth of light. Interestingly, there are fewer geomagnetic disturbances in the ocean at the Solstice points of June/July (Cancer) and December/January (Capricorn) than during the Equinoxes.

☆♥*♥☆ New Moon~Gemini ☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

     Three days before the New Moon is called the Balsamic Phase. The Balsamic Moon appears after the waning Crescent Moon, just before she completely vanishes from visibility ushering in the dark of the Moon, the New Moon. During this darkness it is time to retreat, become receptive to nuances and impressions, and to let go. Whatever information or answers are needed will eventually be illuminated. This is why the New Moon is symbolic of change and new beginnings. The dark of the Moon is a gate of inspiration.

     The Balsamic Phase is also called the "Wishing Moon". It's an auspicious time to create that which is desired.  Particular focus may be given to the sign of the New Moon and where that sign falls in your birth chart.  The June 12, 2010 New Moon falls in the sign of Mercury-ruled Gemini at 21-22 degrees.  This is a communicative, lively, busy, nervous, mutable, air Moon.  The area of life in which this New Moon falls in your chart may experience spontaneous activity.

     On the East Coast, the New Moon appears at 7:15am.  By 7:35 pm the Moon is Void-of-Course (VOC)  until it enters it's own sign, Cancer, at 9:50 pm EDT.  Chiron, Uranus and Jupiter are at 00 degrees, also ushering in new energy and a brand new cycle.

☆♥*♥☆ Make a Wish....Blow a Kiss to the Universe~! ☆♥*♥☆

     Remember, I'm available for consultations and readings 7 days via phone, e-mail or in-person. Enjoy your weekend, and Happy New Moon! ♥

☆♥*♥☆ Deer People~Butterfly Clan ☆♥*♥☆

Complanting Moon (Deer)
by Lorraine Valente

In Native American Astrology, those born from May 21~June 20th are born under the Complanting Moon and their animal totem is the Deer. Their colors are green and white and they are included in the Butterfly Elemental Clan.

Deer people possess natural healing abilities and are usually very intuitive. They have sensitive hearing and do not like loud noises. Deer are gentle, loving, and kind animals. They have the ability to create items of beauty from very ordinary objects and are resourceful individuals. Deer people also make good friends. They are very lively and articulate speakers. They have an unusually high, buoyant energy level. Deer are also known for their beauty, grace, sexuality and cunning. Deer is the epitome of both masculine and feminine energy as is suggestive of their dual nature. Deer have the ability to captivate others with their eloquent speech as well as with their beautiful bodies.

As part of the Butterfly Clan, this increases their chance for “flitting” from one flower to the next or from one idea to another examining each and every nuance as they flutter and collect along the way.

Have a wonderful week~!  Remember, I'm available for consultations and readings 7 days via phone, e-mail or in-person.

♥*♥ The Lovers~Number VI~Gemini ♥*♥

By Lorraine Valente

The Lovers card depicts the unclothed bodies of two lovers, a man and a woman. They bare their souls’ to each other. The man gazes upon the woman while the woman looks up to the spirit, Archangel Gabriel. As the angel hovers over the couple, arms and wings spread as if blessing the pair. The sun shines above his head, bringing warmth and security and light. The leaves on the tree mirror the hair on the Angels head…a symbol of the fires of passion burning deep within the lovers’ soul. This sun and fire is also symbolic of our life force and our impulse to create. The fertile grass beneath their feet, and fruit on the tree suggests growth and happiness.

However, as with every the card in the deck and aspects in a birth chart, there can be negative manifestations symbolic with this card. The snake coiled in the tree behind the woman is a gentle reminder of the story of Adam and Eve and the temptations we may be faced with. There are 3 people in this card…not two. In this regard, the third person could be an intruder to the relationship.
