Monday, June 19 | Approach to Solstice EARLIER in the month, I pointed out the highly concentrated astrology in the last days of the Sun's movement through Gemini, into the Cancer ingress of the Sun (summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, winter solstice in the southern hemisphere). We are now in the thick of that astrology, and today, the Sun stands on the horizon at at declination of 23 N 26 between today and Friday -- solstice is really five days. The  Sun is also changing signs, and square the nodes of the Moon -- and also, today and tomorrow, square a pretty big solar eclipse that occurs on Sept. 22 (the Frodo Lives eclipse). All of this is adding up to some psychic tension; a feeling of wondering what's about to happen next. There is a sense that we cannot see the whole picture. It's a weird feeling and, whether it represents something or not, it's the kind of feeling that will usually be cleared up by a sign change of the Sun, which happens soon enough. Still, I'd like to check in with you -- on your inner sense of reality, your sense of politics, both world and national US politics -- and anything else you're noticing. Thanks for dropping in. francis@planetwaves.net
