I would like to start this month’s insights with a heart-felt ‘On your marks, get set, go’ but that will be for July, not this month. June begins, quite auspiciously, with a Mercury retrograde that lasts until June 30, and some other activity that will give us lots of energetic support for our final energetic and emotional house cleaning. We can start moving the furniture back in, so to speak, in July, if we have any left. This has been quite a year for release so far and it does let up this month, encouraging us to prepare for the action we can take in July. There’s another aspect to June, on a wider scale, and that has to do with revelations and truth. The question for each of us this month is what truth do we believe for ourselves and are we willing to stand for our truth? We’ll have some opportunities to do that this month.

Energy moves in waves, and so far this year the tide has either been out or we have been flooded with support for realizations and understandings that have shaken us to our core. We can expect more of that in June but this time we’re more prepared as we have had over six months (since the end of 2013) to process how we are using this energy. In June Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, and then in Gemini. Mercury isn’t called the trickster for nothing — it can deceive us, but it can also show us where we have been deceived (and where we deceive ourselves) and I believe that is what it will do in June — we have three weeks of retrograde action to find out where that has been happening.

Another event in June is the forward movement of Mars, as it ends its 3 week station at 9 Libra and starts moving forward so we’ll begin to feel more motivated. Jupiter, the planet of luck and blessings, gets into the June action too, as it moves beyond its retrograde station point and comes close to finishing its journey through Cancer. Get ready for action in July when it finds its roar in Leo. Remember that the energy of the Uranus/Pluto square is still active, although we don’t have another exact aspect until November 2014. This is powerful energy for upheaval and transformation that is supporting all of these changes now.

It isn’t all fun and games in June, though. In the 2014 predictions, which you can read here, I described June as a power period. I have had an uncomfortable feeling about this month since the beginning of the year, as what is revealed will not be pretty. As the truth ball gets rolling this month, one thing will lead to another. We’ll see vulnerabilities exposed in our economies, politicians, governments, and corporations, and watch as webs of collusion and deceit start unraveling, in ways that will make some people very angry. It will be uncomfortable to see those who have been sitting on their thrones of power scramble for cover and point fingers at each other, as we begin to realize the full scope of how we have been misled, misinformed, and misguided. But it’s our opportunity to take back the power we have unconsciously given to those who we think are better equipped to run the world and dictate how we should live.

There is a big difference between leaders and rulers, as we will see. Leaders stand at the head of the line and encourage everyone to be in their power. Rulers want to be in control and hold all of the power. We have sadly been led for far too long by rulers. It’s now time for us to become our own leaders and move into higher energy paradigms of self empowerment, where there is no room for rulers and they are not needed or necessary.

But before these situations can be changed, as we have seen in our own lives, they must be revealed. The process of creation can be messy, think of volcanoes here, We are giving birth to a new paradigm and like any birthing process, it occurs in two parts. The labor is the long, hard part which prepares the body to give birth. Then the birth occurs. We have completed the labor, now it’s time to give birth and see what our new creation looks like.

This is what I wrote about June in the 2014 predictions:

“June: This month will bring secrets to the forefront, things that will shock the world and while the people involved won’t be as contrite or as apologetic as we would hope, what is revealed clears the air and brings forward truth that many people have suspected but no one could prove. This involves governments and officials from different countries, in a strange web of deception and corruption that is going to come from sources no one expects and involve people that are not normally implicated in these kinds of matters.”

Power, like energy, cannot be taken from us. It is given away, consciously or unconsciously. Truth is like power in that a truth cannot be imposed on us unless we agree to accept it, consciously or unconsciously. June is the month of truth, encouraging each of us to hold onto the truth that we want to be true in our lives. Is that the truth of awareness, enlightenment, peace, joy, love, and abundance? We’re at a powerful crossroads and truth is the fulcrum that determines the direction we will take. Are we willing to take a stand for a truth that allows us to be powerful? We need to that in our own lives first, before we can create it in the world.

In a recent Facebook power I wrote “I would rather be judged for my truth, than be accepted for my willingness to remain silent.” It must have resonated with a lot of people because it was shared by thousands. You know that I am less willing to speak about sweetness and light than I am to speak my truth, no matter how uncomfortable others may find it. When my mother recently asked me whether I was afraid because I do say some controversial things, I asked her what she thought I should be afraid of. Of dying? I have already died several times in this lifetime, I don’t fear death. What I fear the most is living a life that has no meaning or purpose, a world that has no truth or love, people who can never experience peace or joy, and who don’t know that they are powerful. I hope, that when I eventually do pass on, I can look back on my life and know that I spoke my truth, no matter how unpopular it might have been for others, and that I never let acceptance be the standard I used to decide what I would allow myself to share with the world.

I think we’re all ready to begin living lives of truth, and in June we will have the opportunity to begin that journey, so that we are ready to enter July with a roar, fully empowered by our truth, firmly grounded in our truth, and ready to create the world paradigm of peace, joy, love, and abundance that we know is possible. Have a wonderful month.
