Astrology for Monday, 1 June 2020:

Today the Moon in Libra makes a trine to the Sun in Gemini. Libra cultivates cooperation, collaboration, and mutuality that fosters raising us the needs of those who are most marginalized and oppressed into greater equity and equality. The Sun offers its life-affirming brilliance to our embodiment of such collectivity. adrienne maree brown writes in Emergent Strategy, “Do you already know that your existence—who and how you are—is in and of itself a contribution to the people and place around you? Not after or because you do some particular thing, but simply the miracle of your life. And that the people around you, and the place(s), have contributions as well? Do you understand that your quality of life and your survival are tied to how authentic and generous the connections are between you and the people and place you live with and in?” Can you be in the radiant realization that your miraculous life is a source of life for others, just as your survival and quality of life depends on others as well? In the midst of struggles for freedom and justice, can we center these generous and authentic connections that allow us all—including those who are most oppressed—to live well? The Moon then makes a trine to Venus retrograde in Gemini, reminding us that love is part of the work for justice. bell hooks teaches us that “there can be no love when there is domination.” Thus, in order to create a world in which love becomes more possible, we must oppose and dismantle systems of domination that structure our lives, inside and out.
