” From Pollinating Geometry” paintings by Lyndsay Rowan
Overview
Welcome to our New SolLunar Cycle in sidereal Gemini. Lyndsay Rowan’s “Pollinating Geometry” is the perfect artwork for Gemini. Thank you, my dear friend, for allowing me to post this both scientific and deeply magical piece you were guided to create. Lyndsay describes this painted portal with these words: “This honoring of the life-sustaining service of our holy pollinators is energetically activated to emit the healing vibrations of bees in the energy of their physical & energetic bodies.” Larger formats of this visionary artwork now grace the halls of St. John’s Health in Jackson, WY and Sublette County Hospital in Pinedale, WY.
There is a powerful kickoff to this SolLunar Cycle as both Sun and Moon exactly align with expansive, exuberant Jupiter in Gemini and this stellium is in square to the historic Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Pisces that begins during this SolLunar Cycle. Astounding synchronicity! These historic aspects will lead to sudden shifts in our consciousness and actions that arise from our collective awakening as the New Moon is in an excitation sextile to Mars in Leo. Wait…I am not done yet! This sextile forms a yod, an aspect of emerging destiny, to transformational Pluto in sidereal Capricorn. Pluto has been deeply at work in the dismantling of the old in all our institutions/businesses/bodies as it ultimately seeks to create greater health in building back better for the coming Aquarian Age. Pluto always honors Earth first, the theme of my last post.
I was surprised to note that with all this forward momentum, here come the retrogrades! First, Neptune in Pisces on Fri July 4 – Wed December 10. Next, Saturn in Pisces on July 12 – Thu November 27. Last, Mercury in Cancer Thu July 17 – Mon August 11. Read more about each of these in my post.
May Lyndsay’s Pollinating Geometry travel the world catalyzing others to honor the pollinators of their homelands. And with this powerful Cycle tied to Gemini, may you recognize YOUR role as a pollinator of life-sustaining ideas, creative collaborations honoring Earth first in all our endeavors as we co-create the New Earth and the New Humanity based in love, radiant vitality, care and compassion for all.
NOTE: When reading my daily entries, remember that the influence of each aspect is like a wave — it crescendos a day or two, sometimes a week, before it happens, crests on the day it is exact, then dissipates over the following days. People experience the transits of planets at different times depending on their sensitivity and life events.
Sidereal Astrology Mentoring and Readings
MY POSTS: My posts are based on the true astronomical alignments of the planets with the constellations, also referred to as the sidereal zodiac. This zodiac is energetically in synch with the forces of the Universe beaming down on us and thus mirrors extraordinary accuracy in understanding how transits are working with us. My mentor and colleague, Nick Anthony Fiorenza—now in spirit—wrote his seminal book, Introduction to Astronomical Astrology which I can now share for free if you are interested in learning from a master teacher
I use the phases of the Moon as the scaffold for my posts because the Moon functions like an energetic portal mediating between the heavens and our wondrous Earth. My entries are based on the aspects occurring each week as they crescendo, crest and dissipate over the course of their influence. As you work with and within the natural flow of time and the supportive cosmic energies that each unique SolLunar Cycle brings, life can flow with more ease, grace and understanding.
MY SERVICES: I delight in mentoring students — individually, with families or groups, via workshops and conferences — who want to learn more about how to use sidereal astrology as a helpful tool for insight, evolution, creativity and well-being. I offer speaking engagements for your gatherings or groups to understand big picture astrology events affecting us all. Consider booking a reading with me, either a Full Natal Map, mini-readings for $44 or $88 or my other offerings like the Relationship Map, Child or AdolEssence Map for your children or the Business Map which helps your team succeed and thrive in. I offer SHE Sessions: Self Help Energywork in which I teach you tools to create greater health and balance for yourself. My poetry book, Out of the Flames/Blue Bison Press, is available on my website. Thank you!
