This Summer's Grand Sextile

Your life is going to change this summer. A rare planetary pattern is forming this summer, called a Grand Sextile. It would look like two interlocking triangles, or a six-pointed star, if you connected the dots between the planets.

In astrology, triangles are like pyramids, stable and flowing. The Star of David pattern this is building to full strength by the end of July is made up of all feminine zodiac signs. If you are not in touch with your divine feminine, you will be by the end of summer!

If you are at all intuitively sensitive, you have been feeling this soft, but powerful, vibration flowing into your life. Some people have felt it as a need to catch up on dream time; others have felt like something is coming in, but they just couldn't quite get a firm handle on it.

Of the two triangles, you have most likely felt the water trine because it has been building strength since autumn 2012. It is made up of the receptive signs of Pisces, Scorpio, and now making an appearance, Cancer.

The water element signs help you bring your softer feminine power out in a more gentle way than the masculine "shock and awe" approach that has been present for so long. Make no mistake, soft does not mean weak. It's just that it is time for both you and the world to take a different approach to personal and global shifts.

The feeling oriented energy will be strong through mid-summer of 2014, but parts of it will be working until the year 2024. So you might as well make friends with the feminine expression.

The second triangle in the six-pointed star is made up of the earth element signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. Although these signs are also in the feminine vibration, they are more into tangible results than the emotional water signs.

Capricorn has been around since transforming Pluto moved into this structure-creating sign in autumn 2008. You have seen it working in tax and infrastructure issues in the world. You see old structures falling down like the bridges in Minnesota and Washington state.

During the last week of July 2013, Taurus and Virgo complete the earth triangle to make this rare Grand Sextile planetary pattern.

Use this energy to bring forth activities that nurture and support you on both emotional and material levels. That which we lovingly call "woo woo" in the metaphysical world is not enough. Your incoming life choices must nourish your heart and spirit, and they must support your practical needs.

So if it does feel good and help pay the bills, you need to revise something. Overall, there is a lot of help available to you this summer. But you must be willing to make changes that bring forth the divine feminine in a larger way than has been present. It's time to "feel better" this summer. Enjoy!
