Daily Feng Shui Tip for June 19 – ‘World Sauntering Day’

You just gotta love a day devoted to walking in a cocky yet confident manner. But ‘World Sauntering Day’ would not be complete without advice for holistically applying TLC to your tired tootsies. This specific foot massage even works wonders with colicky or cranky babies. Mix ten drops each of lavender essential oil and chamomile into a base of a half-cup of grapeseed oil and blend well. Beginning with the left foot, stroke this blend up from the bottom of your foot from sole to toe. Use firm pressure as you apply the oil in straight strong strokes. Soon you’ll feel like doing your own jig. This Ayurvedic inspired massage raises your spirits as it slightly lowers your blood pressure. Now there’s something to kick up your heels about!

Today’s Runes for Tuesday, June 19th is Tyr

Stone Runes are most commonly used for questions about the natural world and things beyond human control. Tyr is the symbol of the warrior. This rune most represents masculine force and potency, and frequently victory in battle. Beware though, for this rune represents directly the Norse god whose name it bears – Tyr stands out in legend for having sacrificed his hand that he might bind Fenrir, a monstrous wolf that threatens to swallow the world. As such, this rune is known to portend a great victory that can be bought with a terrible sacrifice. Tyr is also the god of law, frequently placed in such position above Odin. In this aspect, protection of justice may be had by this rune.

Today’s Tarot Card for June 19th is Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune

This Tarot Deck: Moon Garden

 

General Meaning: The central theme of what is traditionally called the Wheel of Fortune card is cyclical change. The Wheel keeps on rolling, churning events in a ceaseless progression of ups and downs, either way freeing us from the past. No one can escape its cyclical action, which can feel somewhat terrifying — no matter whether we are rising or falling. When one is balanced on top there is a moment of crystal clarity, but the only part of the Wheel not going up and down is the hub, which is your eternal Self, the Source of Freedom.

Every one of us will occupy all the points on the wheel at some time or another. The cycle of the wheel is its lesson — and we can learn to take comfort in it (as we do when we celebrate our birthday). If you don’t like the look of things right now, just wait — things will change. Of course, if you do like the look of things right now, enjoy it while it lasts, because that will change too!

New Moon Report for June 19th – New Moon in Gemini

New Moon in Gemini

Tuesday, June 19, 8:02 am PDT, 11:02 am EDT

The New Moon in curious Gemini normally sparks fresh ideas and connections but scatters attention. Yet this one brings focus and maturity. It’s the second Sun-Moon conjunction in this sign in a less than a month, so we benefit from the experience of the earlier New Moon on May 20. Serious Saturn forms a constructive trine to this lunation, adding structure and responsibility. Feisty Mars also gets in the act with a square from earthy Virgo that challenges us to turn concepts into concrete reality. This aspect can tighten nerves with tension that provides the impetus to take immediate action.

The New Moon in Gemini spawns a million and one ideas, most of which blow away in the breeze. Yet this lunation presents uncommon opportunities for capturing the best ones and putting them into words. People juggling too many projects can benefit from letting some of those balls drop. Reducing intellectual clutter clears the way for our most valuable notions to turn into reality.

 

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, June 19th

While the dark-of-the-moon vibes are intense – suggesting the need to complete old business on a high note – Vesta forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Chiron (3:08AM PDT). Thus, despite the strange morning atmosphere, you may be able to find ways to increase the value of your investments.  The main event of the morning is the second New Moon of Gemini (following the previous one back on May 20) – this one energizing 29 degrees and happening at 8:03AM PDT. This would normally suggest the need to take a great leap forward immediately, but instead the Moon enters a void cycle that lasts until 10:35AM PDT when the lunar orb shifts into its natural abode of watery Cancer.  This 10:35AM PDT shift of the Moon begins a 2+ day lunar cycle that places an emphasis on home and family matters. Nostalgic interests wax in power and you may have an urge to research your ancestral tree. Cooking, baking, gardening and water sports (weather-permitting) are back in vogue.  Mercury shows off its strength by forming a parallel with the Sun (12:22PM PDT) and making a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Vesta (8:51PM PDT). Business opportunities are ripe for the picking.  Love bonds receive a temporary, positive jolt as Mars makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Juno (9:57PM PDT). However, because tomorrow morning brings in a provocative Venus-Pluto aspect, it is best to keep a low profile overnight and be extra kind to dear ones on the ropes.
