June takes off like a rocket with a Solar Eclipse (Super New Moon) in Gemini on the first day of June, the first of three eclipses that really turn up the heat even before Summer takes off. Eclipses are always powerful times of transformation, and with three in a row, we are all going to be feeling this energy even if we can't see the eclipses in our backyards.

Eclipses create a powerful Moon cycle that you can work with in your own life.  Every month at the New Moon, I work with the Moon cycle at manifesting my goals.   When there is an Eclipse, I have seen my goals take off in a big way if the timing is right.  Seven years ago, I used an eclipse cycle to move up to the Gold Country in California.  On the Solar Eclipse (Super New Moon), my house in the San Francisco Bay area was sold, and by the Lunar Eclipse (Super Full Moon), I moved up to the Gold country to live in a rental house, and by the next New Moon, I had found my "dream" home, and made an offer which was accepted, and I began to make plans to move once again.

If you have a goal or dream, work with this energy, and if the timing is right, you could see the fulfillment of that dream in just one Moon cycle.    Here's the plan:

At the Solar Eclipse (Super New Moon) on June 1, 2011 at 11 degrees of Gemini, release your intentions/goals for what you would like to create in this Moon cycle. If you have your natal chart, check and see what house this Solar Eclipse is highlighting in your birth chart because this is the area where you have the greatest potential for the new beginning.  If the Solar Eclipse lands right on a natal planet of yours, that energy is also ripe for change.  For example, if it lands on your Venus, the planet of personal love, you could find yourself changing the way you look at love such as seeking a new partner, or letting go of a relationship that no longer serves your highest interest.

At the Lunar Eclipse on June 15, 2011 at 25 degrees of Sagittarius/Gemini, this Super Full Moon is like a spotlight illuminating an area of your life, and revealing the potential for this new goal that you are hoping to manifest. At this time, you may have to make some kind of adjustments, or be faced with some opposition or challenge to your plans.   You may also experience the fruition of your dream at the peak of this moon cycle.   Take a look again at your natal chart, and see where the light of this Super Full Moon is shining.  This is the area that is the most ripe for revelations and insights into what has been hidden from your view.

The final eclipse in this series is a Solar Eclipse on July 1, 2011 at 9 degrees of Cancer, launching another New Moon cycle. This could be the most powerful, and volatile of the three eclipses. Before this Super New Moon, take a look at your goals/intentions that you came up with in June, and see how far, they have manifested.  You may have to let go of some of the goals, or re-write them based on what you have learned in the past month.   Some of you may also find yourself in a whole, new place by this powerful Super New Moon in Cancer.  You may be physically living in a different place, or just seeing the world with a whole, new perspective.  There is a potential for great transformation, personally and collectively, with this eclipse energy.

The winds of change are very strong for all of us with these three eclipses.  I would love to hear about your experiences with working with these eclipses in your own lives.  I have a plan of how I am going to work with these energies, but I am also being open to seeing what develops in the month of June because I may also be surprised by the new opportunities and changes that show up as well.

If you don't have a Western astrology birth chart, please call or e-mail me for a personal Birth Chart package which includes your birth chart along with a symbol sheet, and a detailed guide and written interpretation of your birth chart.   The package is only $25, and it can help you track these coming eclipses in your own life.   I'll also include my personal guide to Manifesting with the Moon Cycle.

Blessings on your path this Summer,  Donna Fisher-Jackson
