This eclipse opens up a Pandora’s box of beliefs and illusions that you may be under the spell of. Be kind yet firm and honest with any self-inventory you undertake right now. We’ve all had to come up with coping mechanisms to just keep going during the pandemic. However, some of those behaviors have now worn out their welcome, and a light is shining on some habits and patterns that you may feel some shame or embarrassment about. Take back your power and see where you might choose differently. Move towards something that feels a little better and see what happens.
Sagittarius helps you see the forest versus the trees in your current situation. As there has been an abundance of Gemini energy during the past few weeks, your focus was most likely more on the specifics versus the big picture. Where do you want to take a step back and reconnect with the inspiration and vision that got you here? With the recent Gemini influence, our tendency is to continually seek out more information and perhaps even go so far as to trust insights and ideas of others over our own. This eclipse acts as a powerful balancing force for you to connect to your own insight and your own connection to the divine. In other words, your logical brain needs to rest and take a nap in the backseat while your intuition takes the wheel.
Jupiter and Pluto continue their dance together in Capricorn, helping you to focus your energy and cut out what no longer inspires you. You have access to a deep well of mastermind energy.

Cultivate patience in the midst of any new information that surfaces during this eclipse.
Our physical selves are getting a download of spiritual energy with Mars sidling up to Neptune, exact on 6/13 and in effect this upcoming week. Move your body and release any stuck energy to get in the flow. Be aware that you are extra sensitive to food and other substances right now, so treat yourself kindly and be attentive to what your body actually needs. As an astrologer, I can’t tell the difference between the chart of a mystic and an addict; the desires to connect to source energy are identical however the methods to get there differ greatly. I bring this up because you’ll want to be mindful of when you are seeking to check in with yourself versus check out. If what you are doing makes you feel more spacey and out of it, that’s a sign that it’s a check out versus check in. If what you are doing makes you feel energized, clearer, and calmer, then it’s probably a check in. If you veer off track, just gently bring yourself back.
Questions to Ponder: In what ways might I be under the spell of an illusion? What do I find most inspiring right now? How can I find ways to focus on the bigger vision I have for myself?
