“I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried failed.” – Dolly Parton

This second Saturday in June we are gifted with a Last Quarter Moon in contemplative Pisces (3:31 pm), which means that Luna is halfway between the last Full Moon and upcoming New Moon. The LQM is perceived to be an optimum time to retrieve the trusty scorecard, from out of our back packet, and evaluate our most recent spate of hits or misses, with an eye to moving on from what is deemed no longer achievable or practical. Likewise, this lunar phase is also regarded as an ideal period for looking ahead and crafting our intentions or goals for the next New Moon (which will be occurring in Gemini on June 18th).

Meanwhile, Luna in Pisces also suggests leaning more into our intuition now, or cranking up the volume on what our inner voice may be saying to us.

“Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can’t do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they’ve seen it often before.” – Agatha Christie

On This Day in History: On June 10, 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was founded in Akron, Ohio by Bill Wilson and Robert Smith (known as Dr. Bob).  The organization, which is now worldwide, was created to help people struggling with alcoholism and to provide them a safe space to share their experiences and support each other.

Astrologically, that day, Saturn, often billed as “the taskmaster,” which teaches us the power of self-reliance and self-discipline, was in compassionate Pisces and applying (one-degree) to an exact opposition to Neptune in health-oriented Virgo; Neptune also signifies, among other things, drugs, alcohol, and addiction issues.

Oppositions tend to deliver results or may bring matters to a climax or culmination. Ideally, Saturn opposing Neptune serves to supply us with more determination or resolve to face down our fears or weaknesses; it may also usher in a greater reliance or receptivity to the idea of a higher power helping to see us through our difficulties.

Also, on that date, communicator Mercury was in sympathetic Cancer and exactly sextile to innovative, group-oriented Uranus in grounded Taurus, an aspect which can help to foster new insights or facilitate new approaches.

“We are not cured of alcoholism. What we have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all of our daily activities.” – Bill Wilson

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
