The theme for June is “CREATIVE ACTION”.
Here is the best analogy and description of the month.
Let’s say you had a room in your home that you were inspired to change, to remodel, and to upgrade. Let’s say it is the kitchen. You have been trying to figure out how to make it more of what you want to better support you and your life. But the space is small and you have not come up with a solution that is better than what you currently have, which has worked fine up till now, but you need your kitchen to be better aligned with something that has recently changed in you. You feel stuck around solving this issue.
All of a sudden, maybe through someone else’s fresh eyes, you have a breakthrough and see something you have not considered before; to make the kitchen bigger, to expand the footprint, giving you more room in which to create your change. Now you feel inspired and energized and ready for action. The action brings an element of chaos, as things are torn apart and rebuilt and you push into a new space. It is messy and you think it will never be finished. But you are patient and hold on to the vision that inspired you in the first place.
The “kitchen” is symbolic of any area of your life that has felt stuck. Perhaps you have gone round and round in your mind about what to do around certain intentions that just did not seem to get moving. The CREATIVE ACTION theme of the month brings in a new element of moving beyond the need to know and moving your creativity outside the box that will expand your ideas of what’s possible as well as support the action that will help them manifest.
The “artisan” role of the year reigns supreme this month. This CREATIVE ACTION will have a tendency to be chaotic and slightly disorganized. It will be important to know what you want and to take extra steps to be as grounded and as practical as possible. There can also be an element of destruction this month as all intense creativity leaves some destruction in its wake. Perhaps to create more space in your ”kitchen” you had to break into a rock wall leaving an explosive mess in the process. Don’t get stuck in the despair of the mess and remember to trust your baby steps. Look beyond the chaos and keep your focus on the larger vision of the fabulous outcome that will greatly improve your life.
Watch Impatience as it could easily lead to Martyrdom and trust what is showing up. This is a highly productive month excellent for manifesting as long as you can trust the process, don’t get lost in the chaos, or stuck in the fear of making a wrong choice, or unable to prioritize.
Helpful hints:
Be clear about what you want.
Don’t “overthink” everything.
Accept your “growing pains”. They will pass.
Enjoy the process. The end result will happen as long as you keep things moving.
Get enough exercise.
Accept the chaos. It is temporary.
Trust what is showing up.
Don’t “think” too long before acting on an opportunity.
Too much on your plate? Prioritize based on what you value the most.
How the month shows up
YOU PERSONALLY
Especially for you procrastinators, this is an excellent month to “do it now”. Look at all of the things in your life that you have been “putting off” due to a lack of knowledge, support or motivation. Set new intentions that you will receive everything you need in order to move ahead with creativity and inspiration and then trust that it will be so. There is often fear around the unknown and resistance around blindly following what it showing up. The lessons this month are about trust and being willing to step right into opportunity when it shows up.
There is an opportunity here as well to create a better balance in your life so that you can handle more. The challenge will be to trust that things will still continue to unfold and manifest even if you are not tracking and micromanaging things every second of the day. Creativity includes creatively resting as well as having fun. The Mp3 is helpful with this.
Take advantage this month of the higher centered influence especially around the full moon to inspire a stronger connection to a higher spiritual plane.
RELATIONSHIPS
The strongest aspect this month around relationships is in finding creative ways of being together and doing things together. A sudden inspiration to take a quirky trip with a loved one or a group of friends can turn into a reality if you let it. Why not?
The tried and true becomes boring and stale this month. Try something new and different. Don’t eat at the same restaurant or walk the same trail. You may also be inspired and motivated to spend time in building new relationships, connecting with new people perhaps even around new projects or new interests. Join a club, sign up for a class.
There is also movement and action in relationships both towards and away from current configurations. Those who need to sever unhealthy alliances will find the motivation and courage to do so, and those who have been attracted to each other from a distance will find opportunity to finally connect.
And those who have only been dreaming about someone new in their life may actually find themselves creating it this month.
Watch for chaos in your perception about where a relationship is going. Clear communication is key especially as we could have challenges in that area. Otherwise the artisan mind can make up all kinds of things that may or may not be true.
ENVIRONMENT
The environment is highly charged, creative, spontaneous, unpredictable, radical and intense. This goes for the outside larger planetary environment as well as for the inner personal environment. Radical events can often unground us and unseat our security. Stay connected to nature and make sure there is something constant in your personal environment that you can always count on during times of unexpected intensity. The Mp3 is helpful here
Since the Eclipses in April, our inner compass has been a bit unsteady and unstable looking for a new alignment and stability. This will not come from the outside environment but a new position will be set based on your own inner environment. The more you are connected with your emotional knowing, the more accurate your compass will be. Don’t let the mind and what it thinks it knows get in the way.
This is a water year, and the element of water is emotional. So water will continue to be our barometer and teacher, showing us what is still out of balance emotionally, where we have too much and where there is too little. Nature is highly creative and will be creatively very active this month.
HEALTH/PHYSICAL BODY
Exercise will be key to your personal health this month. This is a fiery month that can activate liver heat, skin rashes, intestinal discomfort and nervous agitation fueled by impatience and anger. Having a release valve for excess energy is very helpful if not crucial. Creative Action also calls for being creative with your movement and what you do with your physical body. You may be inspired to change how you look and how you show up physically. Or you may be inspired to be more creative in your diet and your routines.
Since this is a month where creative problem solving and breakthroughs are possible, you are likely also to find solutions to health problems you never thought you could overcome and take advantage of opportunities for new attitudes and beliefs around your health and well-being. If you have been feeling stuck around certain physical issues, this may be the month where everything starts to flow and move once again.
BUSINESS/PARTNERSHIPS/PROJECTS
This is a really good month for collaboration and bringing new creative ideas to the table where they can finally have the support to take root. Projects that have been unmoving or feeling stuck for a while will break loose and either die a good death or find new support and become energized and active. Make sure you have a good sense about what you want and make sure you are clear about what you don’t want.
Watch for the “sticks in the mud”, those who are reluctant to think outside the box or move forward, always putting the breaks on out of fear. You may have to do some purging of stuck energy related to old alliances and agreements made in the past that can no longer “get with the program”.
This is not the month to be the “lone wolf”. Trust your support and go with cooperation, collaboration, the sharing of tasks and accepting support whenever possible. Remember that two heads are often better than one.
