Astrology for Saturday, 6 June 2020:

Today the Sun in Gemini receives a square from Mars in Pisces. Mars is in the superior position, making this a condition of maltreatment, an assault on life and livability, on our insistence to show up and be seen as we illuminate the world around us. We may feel our very survival is under attack, or we may finally be coming into consciousness regarding the ways in which the lives, livability, and survival of Black and Brown people have always been under attack in this country. Today is a day to struggle on behalf of survival. Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes in “The Shape of My Impact”: “Survival has never meant, bare minimum, mere straggling breath, the small space next to the line of death. Survival references our living in the context of what we have overcome. Survival is life after disaster, life in honor of our ancestors, despite the genocidal forces worked against them specifically so we would not exist … My survival, my life resplendent, with the energy of my ancestors, is enough.” What actions can you take today to ensure life after disaster, in honor of all those revolutionary ancestors who make our lives possible today? The Moon then ingresses into Capricorn, the sign of its antithesis or detriment, without reception from Saturn. We may feel depleted, exhausted, or alienated from the resources we need in order to be well. Remember, rest is part of the revolution. Recovery is necessary to sustain the long-term labor of change. You may need to slow down and rest in order to get back into the struggles ahead.
