JUNE STARGAZER


FEATURED SIGN – GEMINI From 21st May to 21st June the sun travels through mutable air sign Gemini. Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac with keywords ‘I think’ and ‘I communicate’. Gemini’s symbol is the twins, one mortal, one immortal, the dark side and the light side. Geminis are extremely curious and like to accumulate information and process data. They think at lightning speed, are versatile and adaptable, and love gadgets, mobile phones, books and surfing the net. Easily bored, Geminis need lots of intellectual stimulation and often have a youthful appearance. Negatively, the Gemini individual can be fickle and nervous with scattered energy and a tendency to gossip or make cutting remarks. Some are over-reliant on logic and dismiss emotions as irrational or unimportant. When Geminis are out of balance they suffer from nervous tension or problems in the lungs, arms, shoulders and hands. Gemini’s greatest challenge is to learn constancy and mental discipline and to accept the importance of emotions and feelings in both themselves and others.


priests to do their cosmic calculations. The table is divided into 27 columns, each representing 6 lunar months with each column headed by the image of one of the three moon gods – a jaguar, a skull and a woman. By consulting the table, ancient stargazers could tell which moon god would preside over a particular date. Those who enjoy doom and gloom


will be disappointed, but it seems December 2012 simply marks the end of a perpetual recurring cycle, rather than the end of the world.

WINTER SOLSTICE The midwinter solstice is a vital turning point in the seasonal calendar, marking the longest night of the year. From midwinter day to the summer solstice six months later, the nights will grow shorter and the days longer. Many of the customs associated with the winter solstice (and with other midwinter festivals such as St Lucy’s Day, Saturnalia, Hanukkah, New Year and Twelfth Night) originate from stories of a fierce battle between the dark and the light, where the light finally conquers the darkness. Other traditions record this as the time that a saviour or sun-child is born to a virgin mother. In Australia, our winter solstice is


marked by the passage of the sun into Cancer on 21st June. Observe the point at which the sun rises from 21st to 23rd June and you will see it is in exactly the same place over these three days. Solstice means “sun standing still”. On the night of the winter solstice, surround yourself with all things nourishing: the warmth of an open fire, piping hot food and the company of close friends and loved ones. Sip warm spiced teas and mulled wine. Acknowledge and celebrate the gift of life on the longest night of the year. As the fire burns brightly picture the sun rising to conquer the darkness and our ability to create new light and life through the warmth of our thoughts, words and deeds. The winter solstice is also the perfect time for a ritual to cleanse and release old energy and


honour winter, the season of death and decay. You can hold a ritual for yourself or join together with friends and family.


A warming winter solstice ritual What you will need • Bowl of water • Large candle • Candle or tea light for each person • Glitter and essential oils • Wine / juice • Winter greenery


Find a cosy room with an open


fire and decorate the room with winter greenery. Place a large bowl of water and a beautiful lighted candle in the centre of the room. Have some golden glitter and scented oil nearby. Sit in a circle with a smaller candle or tea light in front of each person. Go round the circle one by one,


talking about the things you wish to release at this dark time of the year and, once you have finished, blow out your candle. When everyone has had their turn, blow out the central candle and sit in the darkness reflecting on what you are all leaving behind. After a long silence, relight the central


candle, which represents the sun, and sprinkle golden glitter on the water. Then ask each person to light their candle from the central candle and place it by the water so
