Strawberry Moon - June 9th - Sagittarius

I've never really liked strawberries unless they're buried in a dessert like the one shown here.  I like though that June 9th's big one is the Strawberry Moon, as I'm a fan of eating in season.  It was named by the Alqonquin, and adopted by European settlers in America..  Read more about the Strawberry Moon in the Farmer's Almanac.

So it's at 18 degrees Sagittarius, and that means the Sun is opposite in Gemini.  Here are some themes to ponder:  

• Knowledge and the elevation of truth as an ideal.  
• Instincts, passion, vitality and what lights the fire.
• Keeping your eyes on the target aspirations, while being open to the new and relevant.  Great time to re-set your aim, of what's most important.
• Goals for health, especially increasing endurance.

It's my sense that the biggest threat to me and all of us is social engineering, like the staged hoaxes and orchestrated campaigns to shape mass behavior and perception.  This seems to be sending many over the edge.  It's a threat to our health, sanity and even physical survival.  

What's helped me is gaining knowledge about social engineering, and doing what I can to shield myself from it.  More and more truth is thought to be 'relative' and fluid, and social engineers work 24-7 to massage perception, bending it for certain ends.  

In logic, there's the truism that there are no contradictions in nature.  And what we see in the synthetic reality being imposed is constant and relentless contradictions.

I find it takes discipline to use critical thinking skills, common sense and to avoid being drawn into the latest faux drama designed to keep whole populations in a state of trauma.  There's that saying that the truth sets you free, and I've found that's true in my life.  

There are many traps of heart, mind and spirit, and the Strawberry Moon is one for firming up resolve to not be distracted by the manufactured chaos.  It's a pretty good one for making a collage or take a committed step toward an aspiration (with Saturn close by).

Gemini and Sagittarius are also to do with being part of the sharing of what you know.  And that makes it one for being a presence, finding the humor in a situation, taking bits and pieces and forming a new collage or phrasing or framing.  

Some might think of travel under this Moon, or see a spike in curiosity, that can open up a new pathway.  I note that Jupiter (Sag's ruling planet) is still retrograde in Libra, so keep that in mind if you're in a swirling eddy of inertia, or finding it hard to get a response from others.  Jupiter turns direct though with the Full Moon (June 9th), so let's see if things shift, especially in Libra matters (relationships, fair play / legal case, biz partnerships, beautification plans, etc).  

Feel free to leave a comment, say hi or give your thoughts on the Strawberry Moon.
