The month of June is charged with energy; electrical and spiritual energy. It is an interesting month involving serious discussions and situations globally. A bringing together of forces so to speak, which is constructive, business like and involves big business and trade.
Everything is on the table, however there is slight of hand going on at the table too. People may think they are getting a good deal, but they definitely are not. A shuffle is going on, so pay attention all you leaders, movers and shakers and you too ordinary people. The public are being kept out of the loop here too. (Pluto). Someone is playing top dog here, and everything has to benefit him, (Mr Trump). This card shows he has a restricted yet intense thought process. Using illusion to get what he wants, while he is creative and original, he is playing deceptive at the same time. Think the shell and pea game here, I am hearing the "Darwin Shuffle "which can allude to a tax avoidance or an actual card game.
As I look at the face of the Magician, he looks crafty, with one eye closed or is he winking? Is he performing a magic trick or a magic ritual? This is youthful cunning in action, the card is ruled by Mercury (communication travel and movement, written, spoken and typed word) Gemini and Virgo (service to others, health, analysis). The Number of the card is 1, for original, new beginnings, life force, driving power, intensity, the highest power is evoked, the ego. This energy can be used for both good and bad.
Powerful male energy is indicated here and of course we are in a number 1 year of the fire horse, so that intensifies this energy. Notice the wand in the Magician's hand, that is not just a conductor of energy it is a phallic symbol too, implying male creative and dominant energy is being used. Next we see the lemniscate or infinity symbol above the head , apart from symbolizing the ever lasting life force, death and rebirth, it is also symbolic of testicles. Looking at the objects on the table, there are two more such symbols the wand which represents thought, it too is a phallic symbol. Then the sword which is penetrative, and gets to the point. The actual RWS tarot deck is full of such symbolism, and once seen cannot be unseen. First and foremost though; this symbolism is about power so keep that in mind.
Now on with the June TCOM, June will have interesting results, breakthroughs of different kinds including scientific, technology, military, medicine etc. The main thrust for June is power with quick and dramatic action which can be extremely forceful.
As the card energy is a number 1 vibration and Mercury, it implies the beginning of action, communication, (the written, spoken, texted, emailed word) movement, travel, law, authority, intellect and concentrating on the spoken word.
Uranus is involved here too, which is the planet of revolution (if you look at the edge of the table on the far right hand side you can see the energy waves of the sign Aquarius which is ruled by Uranus and the 11th house). Uranus rules revolution, science, technology, inventions, sudden and unexpected happenings, earthquakes, aircrafts, natural disasters, dictatorships, utopian causes. Water and Air elements are involved here
Expect travel issues, transport issues to be problematic this month and also include long distance travel or overseas travel. Not just Mercury going retrograde for three weeks from the 29th and into July, but Pluto is retrograde too from the 6th of June and that adds more pain and suffering. Pluto is notorious for things coming back to the surface; thoughts, heavy emotional turbulence. It is a transformative energy and can be used to resolve issues too, so please be aware of anything that may be triggering and take steps to deal with it in a more positive way. Pluto also covers power struggles and control issues, this is not good for world affairs or on personal levels including relationships or in your work environment.
Being a number 1 card the Magician symbolises new beginnings and concentrating effort to get results. This will build momentum over the next 2 or 3 months depending on the issues involved, especially in global affairs, money, travel, power and conflict. Ideologies developing and or expanding are indicated too. There could be enemies joining forces against a common enemy creating a bigger combined force, to bring about an end of a grip on control and break a deadlock. This could be involving the ongoing issue with Iran and the Hormuz Straight, as many nations are affected and it is affecting global economies. So clearly something has to be done.
This could be other Arab nations teaming up with Western nations all working in unison to bring about an end to this deadlock over the Hormuz shipping crisis. We are definitely looking at the beginning of an end cycle (8th house/Scorpio/ Pluto transformation) on both a global and national level.
The two main nations this month seem to be the US and Iran, negotiations for peace being the crux of the matter, deals to be struck or more like attempts being made but not successful. Both parties attempt to come to the table, laying down their weapons. Look closer at the card and you will see the sword on the table is closest the the magician than the want is. That's not a good thing, because he is more inclined to grab the sharp pointy thing rather than the wand which is more thinking and transformative in its power. Wands, as we know are a stabalising force using our thinking faculties to negotiate positively, and that is the furthest tool away from the magician's hand.
Summing things up we can see logical thinking is the furthest thing away and influenced by Pluto being in retrograde for 10 days of the month. Hopefully they can choose a better time to work things through in the near future. However Mercury turns retrograde on 29th of June for three weeks, that does not help matters one bit. So do not expect any rational results the ego's on both sides will be somewhat touchy and trying to appear stronger and more powerful making out that they are in total control of the situation, and neither side wishes to appear weak. It's a boy thing!
For the month of June, there is a need for concentrated efforts in all matters of state, politics, education, transport, travel and children's welfare and safety. People are seeking reassurance in all aspects of daily life and are genuinely concerned for safety due to social decline and decay. No government is actually stepping up to address these concerns effectively.
As we can see June is all about the thought process and action. The Magician card is a broad spectrum card as it covers all aspects of human life at present time. There are both positives and negatives here depending on the individuals circumstances, and how they respond to stimuli at any given time.
Please be mindful of your thought process and responses this month, using positive thinking we can negotiate this month's challenges, rather than going berserk and dealing with unwanted trauma as a result. Be very careful how you respond to others in conversation or reacting to their actions because things can escalate very quickly in the worst direction.
Unfortunately a small percentage of people do react quickly and angrily to any situation; so it is best to avoid such people, especially if they are drug or alcohol affected if possible or things will turn violent quickly.
Looking at the magician's clothing we see he is wearing a white tunic, which stands for purity, neutrality, peace, and spirituality. But he is wearing a red cloak over the top of the tunic, red is symbolic of life force, blood, anger, male energy, passion; as in passionate belief systems. It is over shadowing the white, which can negate the peaceful purity. Which colour do you see as the most dominant force here?
The snake around the waist of the magician is the ouroboros or symbol for everlasting life, above his head is the lamniscate or infinity symbol which also represents everlasting life, rebirth, cycles and it also represents testicles. Again the reference to male energy but also life as well, everything is in a time loop in this world, wash, rinse, repeat until we spiritually awaken and learn to transcend the physical realm. Sadly not many learn how to break out of the encryption.
The headband on the magician's head shows concentrated thought but it can also show restricted thinking. cut off from the higher consciousness or higher self. This headband also shows the sheer effort that it takes to find a happy or positive solution to one's problems.
Russia is back in the spotlight but not with a breakthrough, so this calls for the western leaders to step up to bring this crisis to a close ASAP. This is a no win situation whatsoever, it has been allowed to go on so long that it is almost impossible to stop. Let alone get a sensible agreement or settlement, more carnage is the current outcome. The Russian troops feel like they are running out of steam and want to go home but can't. This is just pointless carnage now, with horrific animalistic brutality on both sides.
Drones are also responsible for removing any humanity because the enemy is not seen by the drone operator. It's just like a console game with no feeling or emotions involved. Just impersonal cold and unfeeling.
This is the new reality now in all world conflicts, random drone operators at a desk killing an unseen human being, be that a little baby, a child or adult. Mummy or daddy killed and noone to care for the children left behind. This is an evil anti human sick hunting game now and the enemy just doesn't care, because it is not happening to them or their family. Ah, but it might one day!
Do you now see the reality behind all console games? it's so easy to sit at a console playing shoot em up, and then move to being a drone operator and a cold hard killer, who is indifferent to human life, no care whatsoever. Now look at the violent street thugs and gangster teenagers with manchettes running around the streets. They too play these console games, its raw aggression allowed to get out of control that is so useful in a theatre of war .
Ask yourself where is the humanity? where is the human spirit here? That is what motivates us human beings, remove or disrupt that thinking process and you have cold evil monster on your hands.
This is a disease of the soul where the human spirit retract inwardly and is suppressed by very dark controlling energy. A weak person cannot override this disease of the soul, in metaphysical terms some refer to this as the reptilian mind or archonic mind taking over, basically dark and evil entities enter the human thought process and override any sense of compassion, logic and ability to reason. It is relatively easy to infect the human mind when one has weak moral values, no ethics or even has a fanatical mindset such as racism, misogyny, misandry, religious fundamentalism, political fanaticism.
These make a keyhole into the human psyche, unlike a strong sense of self, a strong moral compass and honesty. These things are vital in the war against evil and keeping ones energy clean and protected. Drugs and alcohol weaken the human aura or energy field just like negative thinking does and allows dark energy into your aura and thought process. It's too late once you kill without impunity or compassion for a living soul.
Ancient Gnostics warned humanity about this and were murdered for their troubles. Luckily some of their wisdom was preserved and survives to this very day for us to learn from.
Highlights for June: Donald Trump sidelines his opposition politically.
China will take on a more dominant role globally, and we will see China step up to assure its allies such as Iran. The SOuth China Seas are back in the spotlight as China seeks to strengthen its ties with weaker nations in the region. This will cause great concern for the US and Australia.
Children walking to school may be a problem for parents trying to keep their children safe.
Australia is on the verge of something new in technology, this covers defence and medicine. I feel nuclear energy connected here too.
The economy is up and down this month and young people trying to buy a house may have parents going halfers with them to buy a house. Perhaps by selling a rental property to assist their youngsters.
Deaf children come up in the news and music connected to children.
The new scientific breakthroughs this month are due to the astrological influences of Aquarius and Uranus which is responsible for scientific breakthroughs, discoveries, inventions, new technology. Uranus is futuristic and drives human discoveries.
In the northern hemisphere I feel June will be warmer than usual, there is plenty of greenery and flowers, so it is beneficial to get outdoors and enjoy the grounding and peaceful energy. Botanical gardens, parks, beeches etc are recommended to feel grounded and relaxed. Enjoy the good vibes by spending more time outdoors on peaceful environments to lift your mood and enhance your wellbeing.
Being in nature is good for the human body, mind and spirit in general. Boosting our energy field, mental alertness and reviving and attuning the body frequencies. So please if you can get outdoors and spend more time in nature. The magician card also alludes to this grounding of energy, as above, and so it is below. This is literally bringing spiritual energy or life force if you like from the non physical environment down into the human body. The human body is like a battery and the energy must be recharged regularly to stay fit and healthy, including mentally. This is electrical (bio-electrical) and spiritual energy which is transformational energy that the body needs. Spend some time in bare feet standing or sitting on the ground to allow the energy to flow up into your body and feel the difference. Clarity of the mind is one of the things you will notice and a feeling of being more calm and relaxed. If you are near water, you can put your feet in the water for grounding energy too such as in a river or the ocean. Meditation near water also helps the human body refresh the energy field.
The energy that flows through humans, flows through all living things in our world, it comes from the primary source of all life and creation. We are all conductors of this energy be we human or other species. All the elements including the human soul fires or spirit must be continually replenished and kept in balanced harmony to create a truly divine being...Human. We do not allow evil to dwell in such a divine vessel for that is an abomination of ignorance.
Blessings and peace to everyone wherever you may live and look after your loved ones and fur babies
Don't forget to put some love into the earth, it needs it.
Warm and fuzzy hugs
Alex
