Astrology for Monday, 8 June 2020:

Today the Moon in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces. We may find new opportunities for embodying the worlds of which we are dreaming, worlds in which more justice and liberation are possible. But it may take work to even dream, as well as embody such visions for the future. As adrienne maree brown writes in Emergent Strategy, “Change is coming—what do we need to imagine as we prepare for it? … How do we cultivate the muscle of radical imagination needed to dream together beyond fear?” As the Moon makes conjunctions to Pluto and Jupiter—both currently retrograde in Capricorn—we initiate new cycles of opposing authoritarian powers of domination and committing to long-term, sustainable growth. Then the Moon ingresses into Aquarius, directly into a conjunction with Saturn. Moving retrograde, Saturn is just weeks away from returning to Capricorn. We may already feel the pull to return to old ways of doing things, established systems and structures that we believed kept us safe. But do not forget: those systems and structures not only have not protected us, they were also built upon and sustained by the ongoing oppression and exploitation of Black and Brown people. The Moon’s conjunction to Saturn is a reminder: even as we feel the pull back toward these old, established systems, we must remain committed to finding our ways into the futures of our radical imaginations.
