Dear Sacred Souls, We are steadily moving toward a Powerful New Moon in Cancer with an annular Solar Eclipse GMT 07.21 am on the 21st June 2020. It follows the Solstice on the 20th June, so straight after the essence of honouring change, we experience the Eclipse. What does this all mean?
Well, firstly the sign of Cancer has been the North Node for the last year and a half. Cancer is all things, home, love, nurturing, heart, the feminine and Divine Feminine.
Haven't you noticed lots of group, tribes of Goddesses and the like, the term, Divine feminine commonly used in the very recent times? And more than ever, man groups being formed to help heal and for men to get in touch with their emotional nature as no longer can they live out of their wounds and project that out into the world. The north node and south node is the axis point of forced collective evolution. The North node, being where primary evolution and growth needs to happen, so the symbolism of Cancer as described as above is what we have all un/ consciously being connecting to, while Capricorn being the South node, its ruler Saturn all things Patriarch, the father figure, if you like, structures, institutions, government, has been up for review, dismantling and breaking down? The Cancer New moon is the culmination of what has begun a year and a half ago and is conjunct to Gemini at 29º where the North Node is now and will be for the next 18 months and South Node in Sagittarius, where we had the last Lunar Eclipse on June 5th. Emotions of old could be riding high, as the eclipse energy tends to be like a tide pulling out and many would-be feeling this.
The other fact is that the degrees in which this Solar eclipse is happening in 00ºin Cancer both the Sun and the Moon never has the alignment been so ever.
Very much the theme of compassion, heart, and collectively experiencing the need to of the feminine, kindness to ourselves the world at large. Venus also is still in retrograde in Gemini. Therefore, this is the time to ask ourselves core questions on integrating ourselves into a new wholeness. More on that on the website. The question to be with right now is
* What am I feeling?
* What is tugging at my heart?
* Where do I want to be?
* How do I want to serve?
* Who do I want to serve?

Collectively by tuning into our heart consciousness, we will be guided to know what to heal as with strengthening the connection to love, self-love, compassion as with forgiveness. 1. Sit with legs crossed or seated in a chair. Lift from the base of the spine, and imagine a string pulling you upward from the crown of your head.
2. Close your eyes and bring your breath and attention to your heart.
3. You can place your hands on your heart as you do this.
Connect to your heartbeat and stay listening and feeling and breathing in and out until you feel calm and gentle energy emanating from your heart.
4. Sound Ahhhhhhh after an inbreathe. Repeat several times.Notice how your heart feels - calmer and stiller? Rested? This is a good exercise to do when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally, and or anytime you wish to purify any stagnant emotion that has risen or emotional feelings.
5. Sometimes it is hard to sound the Ahhh, particularly if you are feeling hurt, wounded, broken, unloved, abandoned, alone and simply bruised.
6. Just be with your heart connection, and you don't have to audibly sound Ah when you are unable to vocalise the sound. It's okay.

Maintaining an open are and Love is crucial, and doing this will help, strengthen, and be in the essence of Love. | A Prayer for this time: Dear Divine Love (or God),
Help me to be receptive to all that is,
Cleanse my old emotions and stories of the past
May they be purified through the power of water and fire
It is time to release.
Let me not stay captive to pain and lies passed down through bloodlines
But instead to embrace the wisdom in my heart
Trusting the guidance and my senses,
In making choices in right relationship to Divine Love
To open up lovingly, gently and with care.
Shutting the windows to the old
And opening doors to the new,
Lead me to where I need to be,
With an open heart and Soul that is aligned with Love
May it be showered outwardly.
For it is love that will set me free. | What I have been reading: Again. I've been nurturing myself of late, taking care of my heart, an ongoing process of being kind, gentle, romancing myself when the moment calls for it and feeding my mind body and soul with all things that nourish me. I have been finding the limitations of lockdown with local places overcrowded, with not having a car and the strong need to belong to like-minded people - knocking at heartstrings her words often help me to remember and remind me of the journey of life. My copy of this beautiful book Journey to the Heart: Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul by Melody Beattie is battered for its regular use over the years and one I took to each and every one of my bodywork class and read after Shavasana a particular meditation to finish the class with. It is truly a soul heart-centred book.
The participants loved it, and one that was a shared bedtime read with Darren, my ex. Unlike me, he wasn't much of a reader but this book we took turns to read to each other. These days, rather than a rote daily meditation, I say a prayer and or ask, 'what will nurture my soul?' and thumb the pages - lo and behold always the right words to comfort my soul. A great start to my morning or as a closing to my day. Highly recommend. | I wish you well, stay blessed, brave, strong and honour your mind, body and soul. We are moving into a new threshold and is birthing time.

Keep shining! Rafah xx
