June

Tues 11 : New Moon
Tues 11 : Solar Eclipse (Northern Australia will see a partial eclipse)
An annular solar eclipse occurs on Monday, 10 June, 2002 in the Northern Hemisphere and Tuesday, 11 June in the Southern Hemisphere; however, the chances are that not many people will see it, I'm afraid! The eclipse starts just off Sulawesi, in the Celebes sea, and crosses the Pacific to end near Manzanillo, Mexico.

The path width will be over 70km, and the eclipse will last over a minute, at either end; however, in the centre, the eclipse will last just 22 seconds and be just 13km wide. Pretty much the only land it touches is Mexico, and that just barely. Since this eclipse cannot be safely viewed with the naked eye, it seems unlikely to attract many watchers.

The partial eclipse will be visible over a wide area, however, including north-east Australia, eastern Indonesia, south-east Asia, much of North America, and most of the Pacific.

Thur 21: Sun in Cancer : When the Sun is in Cancer, things may get a little moody and emotional. While Cancer motivates us to reflect on our pasts, to draw our loved ones near to us and to nurture others without asking for nurturing in return, this Moon-ruled Water Sign can really make us grumpy. That said, Cancer could be a time of heightened emotional sensitivity, a time when the cerebral connections forged under the Gemini Sun move to a more intimate plateau. Flirtatious affections take on a greater gravity during this time as the Cancer Sun exposes our emotions and lays bare our vulnerabilities. Socializing takes a backseat to nostalgic memories and quiet nights at home. Food and family become very important at this time, as they provide us an opportunity to nurture one another and give us the most basic and unconditional of loves -- the very thing we need most right now.
A good time for:

Taking personal relationships to more substantial, serious levels
Staying in and looking through old photo albums and scrapbooks
Perform nurturing, domestic activities like cooking or gardening

Thur 21: Winter Solstice
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears to be the same for several days before and after the solstice. Hence the origin of the word solstice, which comes from Latin solstitium, from sol, "sun" and -stitium, "a stoppage." Following the winter solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter. The winter solstice is when the Earth is tilted on its axis so the North Pole is slanted away from the sun. Long ago, people lit fires on the winter solstice to entice the sun to return.

Tues 25 : Full Moon : Long Nights Moon SH : Strong Sun Moon NH (Moon in Capricorn)
[SH=Southern Hemisphere, NH=Northern Hemisphere]

Long Nights Moon : This is a time when we should give up the worry that permeates our days. Soak in a bubble bath and allow the water to release tensions from your body. Affirmation for the Long Nights Moon: I remain serene in the face of the chaos around me.

Strong Sun Moon : This month let us turn to the oceans, lakes and streams for our inspiration to cast a spell for peace and happiness this Full Moon. Affirmation for the Strong Sun Moon: My live reflects the joy in my heart.

Tues 25 : Lunar Eclipse : Penumbral (Moonset in Australia so difficult to see) : An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can only occur at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. It will be hard to see as it will be a Penumbral eclipse which is when the moon passed through the Earths Penumbral shadow. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to watch.

Moon in Capricorn : The Earthy Capricorn Moon sets us straight up the mountainside toward our highest goals. Dig in those hooves and get climbing! Reputation, success, go, go, go….. you can tackle anything. Love seriously, too.
