  • Weekly Astrological Forecast for June 16 through June 22, 2025

    June 16 through June 22, 2025

    Two major astrological shifts are in store this week, beginning with Mars’ one into Virgo on Tuesday, followed by the Sun’s entry into Cancer on Friday. With a Pisces Moon overhead Monday and Tuesday, we probably won’t get much done, as this moon could make it difficult to get any traction as we move in circles around the things we were hoping to accomplish. This will change of course, when Mars, the planet of action, moves into Virgo and speeds things up. Over the next two months, Mars will be instrumental in helping us accomplish the goals that have been slipping through our fingers or ending up on the back burner since May. With this kind of power behind us, we’ll be able to accomplish anything we set our minds to! The Moon will travel through Aries Wednesday through Friday, adding even more fire to our movements and desires. When the Sun moves into Cancer on Friday, we’ll feel a shift in the air, as it marks the start of a new season, as well as a call to return our attention to home, family, and security. For the next four weeks, our focus will be on nurturing others and building the support we need to feel emotionally secure and centered. The weekend unfolds under a Taurus Moon, encouraging us to stop and smell the roses, and simply enjoy the many blessings in our lives.

  • Discover Your Purpose with Nature’s Guidance

    Discover Your Purpose with Nature’s Guidance, by Kris Franken

    (Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

    Wildflowers, sunsets, moths, rain, and lizards are all radiant with the same lifeforce that keeps you and I alive… and which keeps all of nature and humanity alive. This lifeforce is also how we commune with each other; it contains the wordless wisdom of all beings on earth.

    The insight and clarity around our purpose—our unique way of being in the world—that we receive in nature may feel serendipitous, but it's no accident. As we traverse the wild outdoors and allow our thoughts to drift away, our inner wilderness comes to life, silently communing with nature all around us, opening us to a deeper knowing that this lifeforce carries with it.

    The more time you spend in nature consciously witnessing the movement of energy around and within you, and the way your body responds, the more you're able to release the blocks to your natural ability to connect with all of life and dissolve the false separation between you and the aliveness of the natural world.

    Purpose is easier to appreciate when you feel this connection. It helps you to know your place on earth as important, unique, and rare. It may seem paradoxical, but losing yourself in the oneness of all living energy can bring clarity to your exclusive, one-off purpose. Like each flower and tree, rock and waterway, insect, bird, and animal, you are also a deeply treasured creature on earth. As you immerse yourself in nature, opening to the wild with your whole body, you feel more at home and on purpose simply being present to the elements, seasons, and beings.

    Everyone on earth has an important role to play, and when we strip away comparison between each other, we can focus on our own Soul's evolution and how each life gives us the chance to learn, grow, and serve. Earth provides the kind of opportunities we can't find anywhere else. We live in jungles and deserts, cities and mountains, valleys and towns that look like no other place in the universe. We share this inimitable planet with countless other living beings, and as we adventure through this precious life, we are assisted by these beings—animal, plant, mineral, human, and the unseen realm&151;to discover and fulfil our wildest dreams.

    When in nature, we are never alone. Our presence is registered by the richly alive surroundings who offer a fresh perspective on our purpose. As bare feet kiss the ground, we're able to feel more stable and attuned to Gaia's loving support and direction. As fresh air moves through our hair, we gain clarity of mind and can let go of all that is in the way of our heart's wisdom. As we witness flowers bloom in front of our curious eyes, we have deeper access to our own unfolding and how our radiance uplifts others. As we listen with inner and outer ears to the song of the birds, we're able to receive the medicine offered by this ancient music.

    In the cycles and seasons around us we sense a similar flow within. We feel when it's time to hustle, play, relax, celebrate, and serve. When we align our mind, body, and spirit to nature's flow, we gain insight into the kind of work and service we're here to offer others through the joy of being.

    Rather than knowing what to do with our lives, nature offers us the chance to be completely in each moment; it is here that we realize our purpose. Through the vibrancy of nature, our ego loosens its hold on our life, our heart expands, and we understand deeply how our gifts and talents give us all we need to serve our community in our own purposeful and unique way. We see how valuable our presence, truth, compassion, and skills are.

    Nature doesn't judge us on who we work for or what we do; it only ever calls us into deeper authenticity within ourselves and our communion with others. Like every single animal, insect, and bird; plant, tree, and flower; rock, or waterway, we have a place in our community that is as uniquely significant as it is symbiotic.

    Our purpose is to accept our innate gifts and intuitive talents, devote to them, give space for them to flourish, and share them with others without hesitation or expectation. In this abundant energy, we are also shown by nature how to receive in full with the same openness. Here lives the symbiotic nature of purpose: to give what we can, knowing that others need our light, and to receive our wants, needs, and desires, knowing we are not meant to live empty, lacking, or alone.

    To really find your purpose in nature, notice how you spontaneously interact with the natural world and with the people who live in your wider community. To go deeper into this grassroots inquiry, sit in your favorite outdoor place and answer these questions in a journal.

    • What do you enjoy making for others?
    • How do you instinctively help in a crisis?
    • What rituals connect you to others and nature?
    • What act of co-creation brings you the deepest joy?
    • How do you like to celebrate the goodness of life?
    • Where do you go when you need to lift your spirits?
    • What do others regularly ask of you?
    • How do you share your gratitude with friends and earth?
    • What comes naturally to you that doesn't seem so easy to others?
    • What talents have you been refining in this life that can be utilized in a variety of ways and circumstances?
    • What feels vitally important for you to share with others in this new age?

    As light beings in human bodies, we really are heaven on earth. We have the capacity to heal karma, trauma, and ancestral pain, so that we may draw on our Soul's ancient gifts and the talents we have cultivated in this life to share of ourselves abundantly. As we do this, we empower ourselves and others with worthiness, confidence, hope, and purpose.

    There is no one on earth quite like you. Mother Nature lovingly created your body, Source Energy created your Soul, and the expression of both, along with your sage mind and spirit, is a treasure to your community and to the nature beings who meet you.

    Live as though your life and your voice matter, because they do. Live as though you are heaven on earth, because you are. Live as though your mindful presence is purpose enough. Live as though there are no right or wrong choices, only a heart that shows you the highest and brightest way in every moment.

  • Double Vision: Recurring Pregnancy Dream

    I frequently dream of being pregnant and going into labor. I always see myself in the last stage of pregnancy and my mother taking me to the labor room. Nothing else happens. I am married with a two-year-old son. I'd love to have more babies, but not until he is three - that's for sure! I strongly feel that this dream is an important sign for me but I'm not sure what it means. I have it at least once a month. Please help me out.

    S.

    Astrea:

    Though you've become a wonderful mother, it's natural for you to have some dreams that don't seem to mirror your waking life. Fatigue can contribute to all sorts of recurring dreams. With a new child in the house - especially a first child - you're probably not getting enough sleep.

    Often when we're experiencing the fatigue that arises from caring for a Small Fry, we'll have fitful, worrisome dreams. New mothers and fathers are naturally restless and a bit anxious. It would be interesting to find out if your husband is having strange recurring dreams lately too.

    Dreams that involve pregnancy are some of the most common to recur.

    It's fun and interesting to look up all the different possible meanings for pregnancy dreams. Here is a list I've kept (and keep adding to) for years. Perhaps one of these interpretations will strike you as apt.

    *A new person is coming into your life who will change your views.
    *A hidden family issue is about to be addressed or you will reveal a family secret to clear the air about a longstanding issue. A family problem will be resolved in a reasonable timeframe.
    *You are changing to a new religion or faith, or you are coming to a new realization about your religious faith.
    *You will embark on a new career.
    *New financial or romantic opportunities are coming your way.
    *An idea or plan you've been working on for a very long time will work out as you want it to.
    *You will be pregnant and have a baby in the future, or you are pregnant now.
    *You fear becoming pregnant and this is an anxiety dream.
    *You wish to be pregnant again, so your subconscious is sending you wish fulfillment dreams.
    *Your concept of happiness is changing. You are rejecting old values and de-cluttering your life to make way for a new life. The new you is the baby who is about to be born.
    *The baby represents another person with whom you have control issues. As the mother, you are in control.

    Some of the things in my list come from old-fashioned fortune telling, and some come from psychology, but in every single instance, CHANGE is the major issue. Your dream could fit any or many of those possibilities, but something around you is changing or the change you made in your life with your new baby has you dreaming of more.

    Experience has taught me that when people dream of pregnancy, the change they undergo is always for the better, for it means more love and happiness is coming their way.

    *****

    Susyn:

    While dreams of pregnancy don't always indicate an actual birth, they do indicate new beginnings. What's interesting about your dreams is that they are always centered on going into labor as opposed to other stages of pregnancy or the moment of birth.

    This suggests that you may be stuck in some type of cycle that is very labor-intensive but never seems to end in success. If you think about it, you may realize that some aspect of your life is going in circles. For example, if you labor to gain a promotion or recognition at work and none comes, or if you are trying to create more friendships in your life or break out of the isolation of being a stay at home mother, those frustrating endeavors could be causing these dreams.

    Since your mother is always with you in these dreams, they might address some aspect of motherhood that you feel stuck in. They could also speak to issues you have with your own mother if that relationship is a difficult one.

    Keep in mind that when a dream repeats itself, it is encouraging you to look at certain things. Once you do, the dreams should either subside or change considerably. You may want to take a quick review of any areas of your life that feel stagnant or repetitive so you can identify where change is needed.

    There is another possibility to consider regarding this dream. Although you plan on having more children, you are trying to control the timeframe regarding when that happens. Perhaps the Universe is prompting you to consider becoming pregnant again soon even though it does not match the plans you've set for yourself.

    You mentioned that you have this dream about once a month. If you begin a dream journal and record the dates when it recurs, you could discover that you normally have this dream when you are ovulating or right before your monthly period. If this turns out to be the case, the dream is definitely sending a message that your body is ready to become pregnant again.

    Because you are physically controlling the timing with birth control or abstinence, your inner guidance may be asking you to change what you are doing in order to honor a higher plan. This may also explain why you always see yourself going into labor but do not give birth in the dream ñ you are already a future mother to a certain child, but that child hasn't been able to be born yet.

    These dreams are trying to get you to pay attention and make a change, which means they are very important. Once you figure out what they are trying to tell you and respond accordingly, the dreams should cease.

    Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

    Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

    While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

    I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

    As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

    I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

    You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

    Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

    A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

    You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
