June 2025 brought in loads of Great Mother energy with Mercury and then Jupiter moving into Cancer followed by the Sun.
For me it felt like a huge Birth Canal had opened up and I was going through it.
The sense of moving forward, back and then forward came to me. I believe this was a sensing of the energies of Saturn and Neptune going into Aries earlier this year, then retrograding in July moving back into Pisces and then retuning to direct later this year and again into Aries in early 2026, birthing us from Water’s Cleansings to Fire’s Initiations.
In one of my meditations a goofy Fairy Helper showed up to clear my Emotional Body with a fire hose. 😀
“We’re going in! Full blast! More power to the pumps!”
Jovial Jupiter cleansing turned into less fun and more drag as the Full Moon in Sagittarius brought the sense of being in the birth canal during Transition. This is the part of labor when the Mother’s cervix is dilated to 7cm and just before Mom can push. It is the most challenging, intense time. I remember being at 7cm during labor and how profoundly uncomfortable and all consuming it was. Now I have an idea of what it felt like for the kid! Not good; extremely uncomfortable and emotional.
Washing in the Waters of a Cancer Jupiter as the Full Moon in Sagittarius and Sun in Gemini brought up all of my old ideas, perceptions, stories and beliefs, especially about myself, was NOT a pleasant experience. Sagittarius brought clarity though, and, for once, I did not throw out the Baby with the Bathwater. June challenged me with emotional healing and countless opportunities to practice all of my tools for self-regulation and resilience.
I believe strongly that Nancy Rebecca (Psychic Healer/Teacher) is correct when she says, “To spiritually awaken we must go through the body…How are we able to build a resilient light body to expand into consciousness and handle how outer events effect the body?” Nancy Rebecca describes this time as an “Emotional boot camp…(we need to) steward our emotional vessel…maturing into it.” She calls emotions “Powerhouses of Transformation.” and reminds me that emotions are expressed through the body.
There is so much Cancer energy and Water energy through July as well as so much Fire. How can I use my tools to guide these energies into a Qi Engine that harnesses steam to fuel Creativity and Flow as apposed to a super geyser, uncontrolled and dangerous? My mantra:
“I’m navigating my inner waters with Grace,” Nancy Rebecca.
Wading through the toxic Mud of old habit patterns of Mind led me to a Rebirthing of my connection to the Divine Mother on the New Moon in Cancer. I believe we are being given opportunity after opportunity to clear the deep and old Great Mother Wound. Personally I felt called to clear old hate and anger and grief about all that has been done and is still being done to women, Nature and the Feminine Principle in all.
So much sadness, pain and grief.. Not again! I scream internally. It feels like the build up to WW2. Clarity comes, and I understand that my hate and anger spring from wanting to control, wanting to force a change. I want to prove, to make, and to punish, which makes me just like what I hate. Some call this a Trauma Bond; what holds me in the Wound. To Clear the Mother Wound I must let go of the Hate. And a deeper understanding comes to me of the African American Spiritual, “Ain’t Gonna Study War No More” as well as Chief Joseph’s (Nez Pierce) declaration, “From where the Sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.”
Far from a surrender, releasing control brings freedom and allows the Pure, Deep Power of the Feminine to rise. Not tied to hate, I am free to move toward my vision of the World. The greater Power is in gentleness, in letting go, in Yin Power; the power of gentle waves polishing rocks on sand; the power of the small; of mosquitos, fleas and earthworms. Of mycelium and grass. Of dandelions and chamomile. The power of sand in your shoe. Or in an oyster. The Peacock’s alchemy of turning poison into Medicine is a Yin/Feminine Power, hidden and internal.
I release, I allow, I flow with the changes with Grace.
Grounding the Light to Mother as she nourishes me.
Kind, simple, profoundly intuitive; gentle while expanding into emotional Truth.
A Mother Blessing: with sparkles and shining: dolphins leaping in the Sun.
Ritual, ceremony and attending to our inner depths furthers the release; exploring possibilities in gentle, simple, soft, invisible ways with Dark of the Moon energies, solitude, and silent attunement: Clearing the Great Mother Wound, healing and opening to the Mother’s line, the Earth Mother and the Cosmic Mother.

Strangely, this releasing of hate and anger allows a Fierce Grace to rise.
“Fierce, silent strength, Great Mother energy rising. (This energy) knows how to wait, the right time to move. This energy is our Protector; in the wise, watchful way, not with armor. It clears out what doesn’t belong in our energy field, restores energetic centeredness, and sovereignty and says ‘No’ without apology. No is enough. (This strength) keeps emotional waters from getting murky with everyone else’s fear. It also reclaims your right to feel, rest; right to speak only when words carry weight. (This) aspect of us that doesn’t play small so others feel comfortable. This energy says trust your instincts, reminds you that you were born to flow forward. It’s not aggression, it’s a Presence that changes the energy when walking into a room, that can leave without explaining why. A Presence that is not afraid to love selflessly and deeply but will not abandon Self to be loved. This Presence is returning. There is a different type of power that is returning. It remembers you. You can move through the world with this level of strength and Fierce Grace.” Nancy Rebecca on “Push up the Power: Inner Power taught by the Sangoma”
The Grace of the Tigress, who asks permission of no one.
