2024.05.30 june outlook
===
[00:00:00] So many people that come to me to learn astrology, to either use it with their clients or use it in their own life or both. Manny many students that I find, come to me with questions. About how can I use this to optimize my life? Or how can I use this to like, do the right thing and, and not mess things up and find the best time to do things so that I can be in flow. All the time. And I spend a lot of time in my weekly office hours that I have for folks to come ask me questions. Telling folks that I think that is the complete wrong approach.
[00:00:38] And the reason I'm bringing this up right now is because. June is June, 2024. This is your June, 2024. Outlook, June, 2024 is the perfect time to. For lack of a better word, fuck some shit up. Like just get out there and do some things and figure out what works and what doesn't work. And so I'm going to tell you why.
[00:01:00] Of course, in this episode, I'm going to tell you all the astrological reasons why. Um, but before I do, I just want to reiterate that the culture I tried to create and the way that I use astrology in my life, astrology and yoga. Together in my own life and the culture I try to create for all of my students. And folks that work with me is that. Nothing will ever be perfect.
[00:01:25] And if you're trying to use astrology. To avoid making mistakes. Or to avoid ever having to do hard things, then that is the complete wrong approach. Um, and I think, yes, maybe there are some optimal things and some sub optimal things. There's some things that work and things that don't work. But I think if you're approaching it from a point of never having to experience discomfort, I think that's the wrong approach.
[00:01:52] And of course we all do it because none of us like being uncomfortable, we want to feel comfortable. And that's fine. Um, but sometimes. You have to do things. And a lot of things. Right. And so this could apply to anything like relationships. Career earning money, family, life, home life. Sometimes you just got to try some stuff and figure out what works and doesn't work.
[00:02:16] And that's the vibe of June. Which is why I bring that up. And so before I go telling you all the astrology of why first I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Yogi scopes podcast. I'm your host Rosemary Holbrook. I'm a Vedic, sidereal, astrologer, meaning I use the Vedic system and the Zodiac.
[00:02:34] And so. I want to say those two things explicitly, because there are folks that use the Vedic system. With the tropical Zodiac. And there are folks that use the Western system with the Zodiac. So there are different systems of astrology. There are different Zodiacs and different astrologers will pick and choose which ones resonate with them the most.
[00:02:57] Um, and I think that's fine. I think. It's just important that anybody studying astrology, whether it's to share with other people or for their own personal benefit or both. Hopefully, if you're sharing with other people you're also studying for your own personal benefit. Um, Anyway, cause you're always your own best case study.
[00:03:14] So I just think it's important that you know, the different systems and you know why you're doing anything that you're doing. Um, which can be hard when you're starting out, because maybe you're at a place where you're just kind of going off of what you see on social media and what you hear through other people.
[00:03:30] And so, As you learn, you'll learn. The different things, then you'll learn how to make decisions for yourself on what resonates. And that's how I hope to approach teaching you astrology. That's my philosophy is to tell you why. Things are the way they are so that you can make your own best informed decision. Instead of me just saying, this is the way it is.
[00:03:51] So anyway, that has a lot to do with the theme of this episode too. So. The Yogi scopes podcast. Every episode we will end with yoga practices and journal prompts to help you best harness, whatever astrological energy is going on for the period that we're discussing on the episode. So. Usually I try to do one monthly outlook every month in the like last week or first few days of. You know, last week of the previous month or first few days of the month, month I tried to put out. Uh, monthly outlook I've been told they're helpful.
[00:04:22] I'm always open to feedback. You can always email me at Rosemary. He skips.com. Um, if you want to get in touch with me, I'm way more responsive there than I am on social media. I have all my social media notifications turn off. And I check it. Once in a blue moon. So email me, I'll see it, it comes straight to my cell phone.
[00:04:41] So anyway. Um, This episode is the monthly outlook for June. And so I'm going to tell you all of the shifts. Happening in the month of June and well, a little bit talk about each one individually, but for the sake of time, I try to just give you the overall vibe of what it all kind of. Amounts to together.
[00:05:00] And then throughout the month, we'll have special episodes for the new moon for the full moon. Um, and then. I don't know yet, actually what the other episode this month will be. It might be about retro grade season because we're headed into that. And that actually has to do with why I was saying sometimes you just got to do stuff and figure out what's working and what's not working. And so without further ado, let's get into it.
[00:05:23] The first thing happening in June. Is on June 1st. Both. So at 5:00 AM. 5:06 AM. Eastern time. Saturday June 1st Mars is entering Aries. The sign that it rules one of the signs that Mara's rule. So this is a great placement for Mars. Great placement for just doing stuff right. Um, and I'll say more about that in a second, but then also on that. Uh, same day. Um, Uranus is entering tourists.
[00:05:54] So leaving areas and moving to tourists. Um, for the first time, in like seven years or for the first time in seven years, that Uranus has changing signs the first time in like 70 some years. 70 80 years since Uranus has been in Taurus. Right. And so I did a whole episode about that. It's the immediate previous episode before this. But with both of those things happening, right. At the beginning of the month, it's creating this energy. Of, um, with Mars and Aries. Uh, Mars and Aries is a very, like, get things done.
[00:06:30] Take initiative. Um, maybe with a little bit. Little bit less sustaining energy, more like self-starter take initiative. Be assertive. Um, you might suddenly feel like you have the energy to do a lot of stuff that you maybe didn't before. Um, But with on the shadow side of that being, it's a little bit less of a sustained energy.
[00:06:54] It's like maybe a better starter than a finisher kind of energy. To start the month and Maurice stays in assigned for roughly two months. So it'll be there for most of the summer. If you're here in the Northern hemisphere, that's like extra summertime vibes, right? Um, But then with Uranus moving to Taurus, that is, I did a whole episode about it, but to put it in like a phrase or a sentence. It's a vibe of like, Changing our structures, right?
[00:07:25] Like, um, typically because something isn't working, right? Like you're in a Springs, like sudden new information, like, oh, maybe something wasn't working for a long time and Uranus is just bringing it to your attention. You're having like a sudden realization about it. And so that could be. Relate related to like finances to the home. Um, to the environment, right? Um, I did a whole episode about it, but it could also be related to like your family structure or just the structures of your life in general, your, your sense of stability because that's Taurus.
[00:08:02] Okay. And so that's, we're starting the month with a bang with those. Uh, two things happening right on the first. Of the month. And so those are two of the biggest shifts of the entire month that in my opinion are going to contribute to the vibe of the month of June. Uh, Which is like, what I'm saying is, is like do some stuff, but as you're doing stuff, you're going to be figuring out what's not working. And that there in lies, what I was talking about in the very beginning of the episode is like, Please, please do not try to only do right things.
[00:08:40] Like obviously you want to try to make the best choice with the information that you have available, but if you're making that choice based on information that might become available, that you don't currently have. Or if you're making the choice or doing the things based on something that used to be true.
[00:08:58] Right. And you're facing that, those kind of realizations coming from. Uranus in Taurus. Of. Big big systems in your life. Things that are like, wow, this is just really not working. And you're trying to continue to operate under that old paradigm. That's where you'll face struggles this month. So, so the whole vibe of the entire month. If I could put it in just, you know, A sentence, which is what I usually try to do.
[00:09:26] I usually try to open the episode with like, this is the vibe of whatever it is I'm talking about. Um, and that's it for this month is like it's time to get some shit done. The energy is ripe for that to take initiative, to do things right. But it's also ripe for figuring out things that aren't working.
[00:09:46] And so what I'm just trying to urge you is don't try to wait to know everything before you do stuff, right? You can't make your decisions based on something that used to be true or something that might be true or something that you hope will be true. You have to just make your best decision based on the information you have available, knowing that you might figure out sooner or later that that maybe wasn't the best decision. But that's that's anyway, that's what I'm kind of usually trying to tell folks. When they come to me and they're like, I just need to like make this decision, this big decision in my life often it's like related to moving or, um, committing fully to a relationship or getting out of a committed relationship or, you know, something along those lines, these big life decisions. Which could also, you know, you could be experiencing shifts in those things. As you're in this news to tourists, it's a big deal.
[00:10:41] That's why I did a whole episode about it. Um,
[00:10:46] To where you might just be presented with new information that you didn't have before, but you can't operate under that assumption that you're going like that, you know what the, the surprise is going to be. Cause you don't right. I hope I've made that clear and that's it.
[00:11:01] I can leave the episode at that, but I want to go ahead and tell you about the other things happening this month. Um, so after that, On Thursday, June 6th, we have a new moon in Taurus. So we're kind of rounding out tourist season after that. New moon and I will, of course. Oh, that's next week already.
[00:11:21] Isn't it. Yep. So I'll have the episode about that. Uh, for you next week, I'll get it out probably next Wednesday because the, the new moon is on Thursday. Um, and I'll get the episode and the signed by sign out to the folks in the membership. Uh, next week. Likely by Wednesday. Maybe earlier if I. Uh, get a jump on life on Monday, but remains to be seen.
[00:11:44] Right. So anyway, um, new mandatories I'll have a whole special episode about it. If you want to revisit some of the tourist stuff, go back to that Uranus and Taurus episode or the Jupiter Intourist episode. Um, and think about what intentions you'll want to set related to those things. Um, for that new moon in Taurus on next Thursday, June 6th.
[00:12:03] And then after that, We have a whole slew of Gemini energy building on Wednesday, June 12th. We have Venus entering Gemini on Friday, June 14th. We have mercury entering Gemini. On also on Friday, June 14th, we have the sun entering Gemini. And so that's what we would call Gemini season in. That's really a Western astrology thing.
[00:12:29] You don't really hear Vedic astrologers, or at least traditional ones saying, you know, whatever season, too much. Um, We more operate under what we call sun courante. Auntie, which is the day that the sun moves to a new sign. Um, and it'll just be the Sanskrit word for that sign. And then some Conti. Is the day the sun moves, but still even in Vedic astrology, we don't really. The sun's not like the center of our world, the way it is in Western astrology.
[00:12:57] So this is what I kind of met earlier when I was saying. The systems, Western and Vedic astrology. Just have different tools, different cultures. There's a lot of overlap, but. Overall it's different. And so I would urge you to just pick one and take it as a whole. Um, and then, but there are folks that do that folks that use Vedic. The Vedic system with things like doshas and, um,
[00:13:29]
[00:13:29] right. And then use the tropical Zodiac. Like whatever you just need to know. Right? Like you just need to know these things and make the choice for yourself. Um, Rather than blindly following different people and being confused. Okay. So this. Stellium we call it a stellium is when three or more planets are in a sign. After June 14th, we'll have Venus, mercury and sun in Gemini.
[00:13:54] And that's what I would call Gemini season. So that's the other kind of big vibe this month is all of this Gemini energy. Uh, which is typical, the vena, uh, the sun mercury and Venus Mo like they. We'll collect in assigned together. About once a month. Um, and that's what we would call that sign season.
[00:14:14] And so. With the Aries energy and Taurus energy really too, because we have now Jupiter and tourists. And then by this point, Uranus will be in tourists. Um,
[00:14:28] This that's why I'm saying it's right for getting stuff done, because all this Gemini energy is like fanning the flames, right? The flames of, um, we've got the fuel coming from all this tourist energy.
[00:14:39] Like if you think of a fire. It's one of my favorite analogies. You think of a fire? To have a good fire. You need. Fuel, which is like the earth element or wood element in Chinese medicine. Uh, and air you need to, if you don't have good enough airflow, your F your fire's gonna get smothered. If you don't have enough fuel, it's not going to burn for long, right?
[00:14:59] So you want to have both. And in mid June, we have. A good amount of fiery energy with Mars and Aries. We have a good amount of earth, energy with Uranus and, um, Jupiter, both in tourists. And then all this Gemini energy collecting up towards the middle of the month. We'll be like fanning the flames.
[00:15:17] So that's what I'm saying. It's really a good time to like, In the wheel of the year. Which is a pagan concept, but I like it. So I'll keep it. Um, is. Uh, spring time is like the spark of the fire. It's time for initiating. And so we still have some of that with Mars entering areas early in the month.
[00:15:39] And then summertime is like when that flame becomes sustained. And so as we move into. Gemini season towards the mid middle of June, middle of the month. Um, It's like, what flames are you hoping to, to fan? And so they get bigger. And so that fire sustains like that, whatever thing you're hoping to accomplish this year, That's what June is all about. And then as we move towards the end of the month, it'll be time to.
[00:16:11] Adjust your sales as necessary is like the way I would like to put it.
[00:16:14] And the only way to adjust your sales is. By having the sales out, if you will. Right? Like, I don't know if you've ever been sailing. But, um, that's why we say adjust your sales. It's not like put your sales out. Like that ship has sailed if you will. Sorry for the bad jokes and crossing analogies.
[00:16:33] But. Um, that's what I'm getting at is like now's the time to be doing stuff earlier in the spring was time to be starting and June, especially as we enter Gemini season is the time to be like putting your energy into it, fanning the flames, growing, whatever it is, the garden, the endeavors, whatever it is. And then as we move towards the end of the month, you can only adjust if you have information from doing right.
[00:17:02] If that makes sense. And that's kind of what I was getting out of the beginning of the episode too, is like, People are always trying to like, get all the variables just right before they even begin, which is like fine. But at a certain point you lose return on investment for doing that. Does that make sense?
[00:17:18] Like at a certain point you have to let good enough be good enough and like, let it fly. And then we interrupt her grade season and that's when you're like, okay, what's not working. And how can I adjust my sales? Or stoke the fire. Or, you know, push the logs around in there, whatever. Um, so that will be with the full moon in Sagittarius.
[00:17:39] That's happening on the summer solstice of Friday, June 21st. And so what we having a big, full moon event out at my yoga barn, if you want to come, I actually will also have, um, so it'll just be on that Friday night. Think mini retreat style, uh, five 30 to 9:30 PM. It is not listed to be able for you to sign up for it yet, but it will be. Probably by tomorrow by May 31st.
[00:18:05] Um, I'll have the signup link [email protected]. Um, And I will also have our hip camp listing so that if you're not local and you wanted to camp out here on my farm. You can, um, For that that'll be our first. And so, um, that's on the full moon. That's on the summer solstice, full moon in Sagittarius.
[00:18:31] And so all of course do another podcast episode because I know some of you were like in Canada or, uh, Australia, and maybe you might come to visit me here eventually, but three weeks from now is probably a little soon. Um, or some of you are, or else. I have, I've spoken to folks in Brazil that listened to this podcast too.
[00:18:48] So shout out to wherever you are in the world. Um, south America, central America. Europe, Canada, Australia, whatever. Um, I'm grateful to every one of you that spends time with me wherever in the world you are. But I do know some of you are also local or. Within striking distance that you could make it here. Um, for that full moon event. Um, and then lastly, towards the end of the month on Saturday, June 29th, mercury will enter cancer. And so this is like the very end of the month.
[00:19:20] But. What I want you to be aware of, is that in August? So, so mercury will enter cancer. And then it'll enter Leo in July and then in. Later July. I don't actually remember the date off the top of my head. It could be late July or early August. Mercury will go retrograde in Leo, but in August, mercury will retrograde back to cancer.
[00:19:44] So it's important to be paying attention when we get to towards the end of the month. To what mercury and cancer brings up for you so that you might have some inkling, some awareness of what you might be addressing when mercury does retrograde back to cancer. And of course I'll cover that more in depth. As we get closer, but that just fits along to the vibe of what I was saying is like this month, you just need to be like doing stuff and paying attention, doing stuff and paying attention, not trying to sort out all the variables. Um, before you have them, right. Just make the next right choice and pay attention to what works and what doesn't work.
[00:20:20] Right. That's the goal rather than trying to have everything perfect before you let it rip. The goal is to let good enough be good enough and get to work this month. Really. Um, and then also on Saturday, June. Tony knife a little later in the day after mercury moves to cancer, Saturn will go retrograde in Aquarius.
[00:20:41] And if y'all want. The YouTube comments are a good place to let me know this. Um, And also now you can comment on Spotify. To, I guess you've been able to do that. I just, now I like know about it. Um, So. Or like, I check it more often, too. So. If you want a specific Saturn retrograde episode, then let me know.
[00:21:04] However, you know how to let me know either on YouTube. Or Spotify or email me, um, because whatever last episode I cover in June, I'm still. Deciding, and I'm open to feedback, always whatever you have questions about. Um, I'm open to. And so. Yeah, so that the vibe of June, just to recap, before I get into like overall energies, what it's a good month for and a bad month for, and then of course your yoga practices and journal prompts, just to recap with Mars entering areas that should bring a surge of energy assertiveness initiative taking right.
[00:21:42] That. It will at least be that vibe will be sustained mostly throughout June and July. As Mars stays in Aires. And then we also have Uranus moving to tourists, which will start to bring sudden realizations. Perhaps through challenges, right? Like through, um, things breaking down or things not working or, uh, new information coming to the surface. Disruptions in the way of financial environmental, perhaps family structures, just really the stability of your life might feel upended by Uranus and Taurus.
[00:22:16] So that's something to be on the lookout for, but the good news is Mars and Aries hopefully will give you the energy to. Deal with it. Right. And that's what I mean is like you can't. Sit there and white knuckle and wait. For something to happen, you just have to be like living your life. With the information you have and dealing with what comes up as it comes up, which. I think it's like a lot of folks don't approach astrology that way.
[00:22:44] And I'm like, you're making yourself silly over it personally. Like. That's what I see. Is folks really getting in the weeds, trying to like map everything out perfectly before they do anything. And if that works for you then fine. But I have felt like a lot of my students that have been with me for a while as they start to settle into, to my approach. Uh, they tend to appreciate it. Um, but they, most of them come to me like.
[00:23:11] Somewhere in the weeds, in their chart, trying to figure out some really specific technique to make the perfect choice.
[00:23:17] And I just don't think that's a. I think, I think the, the return on investment of learning astrology ends way before that. Right. Anyway, then we have the new moon in Taurus, which will really round out tourist season. Be a good time to be considering from now until then. Um, What's going on since Jupiter moved to Torres, what's going on since you're in this move to tourists, which it moves there on Saturday, but, um, just pay attention to what those things bring are bringing up for you so that you can set intentions of how you best want to harness that at this new moon in Taurus.
[00:23:50] And then we have, um, this. Big Gemini season towards the middle of the month. We'll be moving into Gemini season, which is a good time for communication and relationships. It's a good time for. Um, curiosity, adaptability being sociable. Um,
[00:24:13] Yeah. So those kinds of things are good for the, the, uh, Gemini seasons.
[00:24:17] Once we get there in the middle of the month, and then towards the end of the month, when mercury moves to cancer. That vibe is more, um, Introspective more. Maybe getting in tune with the emotions and just pay attention to what maybe emotions get brought up so that you can be on the lookout for what you might be addressing when mercury does retrograde. Back to cancer and August. And then when Saturn rusher grades, that will be a time to really adjust your sales in a big way.
[00:24:51] Like. Like I've been saying is like, you got to get doing stuff so that you have some information with which to adjust yourselves. If that makes sense. Um, reevaluate the structures of your life, really be paying attention to what's been coming up since you're in this moves to tourists. Like what structures in your life really seemed to stop working in June are like information comes to your awareness about these things.
[00:25:13] And then when Saturn does go retrograde, you can start doing the work of. Adjusting, but what I just hope I've made really clear is don't worry about it until then, right? Like just. Make the best choice with the information you have and get to doing right? Whatever that is. Um, So it could be actually, you know what the side-by-side I'll put out this week will be related to Mars and Aries.
[00:25:41] Um, because that's what I think. We'll be the vibe of June of like is like, get to doing, maybe especially around the areas area of your chart. Um, And so the overall energy's just to put it all in a couple phrases is. We have this push towards action and new beginnings. Um, But in the background of your awareness should be. Thoughtful reassessment, like what is working as you're doing stuff and what is not.
[00:26:12] Um, and then there's also an emphasis on communication adaptive. Adaptability and innovation. So Taurus wants practical and stable, and we have heightened tourists, energy. But Uranus is bringing this innovation vibe. Um, while meanwhile we're entering. Gemini season that's where the adaptability and communicating around that. Comes up.
[00:26:38] Right? So like, How can you innovate to make your life more stable? If that makes sense. Um, and then. We also this month want to be balancing assertiveness and initiation with introspection and re-evaluation right. Like, can you get out there doing stuff? And then also.
[00:26:59] Reevaluate as you go. And so. Then the other, I would say last overall energy of this month is. Navigate any changes in material or financial areas with practicality, as much as you can, can you bring practicality to your. Material assets to your finances. Um, and focus on bringing a security, maybe also in your family unit. In the face of any potential new information that comes up. As you go. And use that Mars and Aries energy. To have the energy to deal with things as they come up. And so it's a good month for taking initiative, starting new projects or ventures.
[00:27:43] And so by starting, I mean, hopefully. By this point in the year, especially if you've been listening to the podcast, you have already started on something and now you're working on sustaining it, or perhaps you're at the point. Where you put it out into the world. I'm a cart before the horse kind of person. And I will put something out into the world. And, um, it won't be like completely 100% ready and I'll just like, figure it out as I go.
[00:28:10] Like, I've been saying this whole episode, that's kind of what I did with the yoga barn is like, We had a soft opening before we had our grand opening. Um, and. I was just working out the kinks as I go, instead of trying to make everything perfect. Before launch, right? If that makes sense. And so we're at the point where hopefully. You've done some of your finagling and you're working out the kinks and you're working on growing and. Um, sustaining whatever your big venture for the year is.
[00:28:41] Um, so it's also a good month for exploring new ways of thinking and communicating. It's a good month for enhancing social connections and intellectual pursues. So if you wanted to. Kind of like explore things that you're curious about, like your curiosity guide, you. Really, um,
[00:29:01] Follow your intellectual curiosity this month.
[00:29:04] It's really good. Gemini season is a really good time for that. It's also a good month for reevaluate reevaluating long-term goals and making necessary adjustments. So that really kicks in towards the end of the month after Saturn goes retrograde, but. Um, you could kind of have it floating around in the background of your awareness. Adjusting your sales, but your sales have to be out for you to adjust them.
[00:29:26] If that makes sense, right? Like you gotta be out there sailing. To have sales, to adjust. So hopefully that makes sense. Like we're not sitting on the dock at this point. We're like out there sailing and learning as we go. Um, it's also a good month for, um, embracing changes in your finances, embracing changes in your approach to your finances.
[00:29:47] If you find that. The way you've been living your life financially is not working. It's a good month for really leaning into innovating that. It's a bad month for. Potential impulsiveness, right. Or impatience when it comes to doing stuff because this Mars and Aries energy is really like. Let's get some shit done. Right, which is good. Um, but if you let that carry you into impatience or like not trusting the process kind of, um, or making impulsive decisions. Uh, that's where you could run into trouble, but this is like what I've been trying to communicate the whole time is like, don't what I see more often, at least with the people that come to me, because I think there's something about. People that study astrology is like, we're very introspective.
[00:30:36] That's like why we're studying astrology is as an introspective. Tool. So I think there is a tendency to be more hesitant than impulsive. Um, Maybe overanalyze a little bit. So, so just balance that I hope I've made that clear. It's also a bad month for, um,
[00:31:00] You might have unexpected changes in financial and material matters.
[00:31:05] So it's a bad month for, I would say like impulsive spending or not being prepared for. Just changes on your financial landscape. Um, And so it was also a bad month where you might want to look out for over emphasis on social activities if it's taking you away from your work. So the summer is a good time to socialize, like have cookouts, whatever, um, go to the pool. Like go hiking with your friends.
[00:31:31] I don't know. Do social activities. Um, but you do want to still focus on doing the necessary things that need to be done. And then it's also a bad month for. Flying off the handle emotionally. I feel like I say that a lot because it does kind of get brought up by a different. Things. And so this time, what it's being brought up by is when. Mercury moves to cancer towards the end of the month. You might be tempted to be more emotional in your communication, right? Um, and so that's not until the very end of the month, but also Mars and Aries has a little bit of a.
[00:32:09] Mouthy vibe, but I don't know, like, um, It's less. Communicative in nature, it's less about communication, but there's some hot headed energy. And so, especially when mercury moves to cancer and there's this hot headed energy going on in the background with emotional communication vibe brought by mercury and cancer. Just be on the lookout for stuff like that. Um, and. Um, It's also a bad month for.
[00:32:41] You might experience a lot of uncertainty.
[00:32:44] And so I hopefully that's what I've really communicated is like, Can you continue to make the next best right choice with the information in front of you? Despite uncertainty or perhaps continual changing information throughout the month. So. One of my teachers. Uh, actually teachers, teachers, cause he said, this is. What his teacher said is that confusion is clarity. When you realize that you're confused. And you just. Like allow yourself to be confused and allow yourself to not have all the answers that in itself is a form of clarity.
[00:33:26] And so that might be part of the vibe this month is like knowing that you don't have all the answers right now, knowing that there's things that will be revealed and you can't make your decisions based on information you don't have. So continue all month. Making the best decision with the information you have available. Hopefully I've very thoroughly communicated that by now in a variety of ways, because there's a variety of things. Bringing it up.
[00:33:53] So your yoga practices. For the month gem and I is the shoulders. In the body. So shoulder rolls, maybe even self massaging, your shoulders, just taking good care of your shoulders and making sure you're not carrying tension. There is a good thing for all the Gemini energy. Um, as well as bilateral stimulation.
[00:34:15] So one of my favorite things to do in a yoga class, We'll probably do this in. Our practices next week. If you want to join us, you go to Mars hill yoga.com/class. Actually, you can still go to The scopes.com/classes. And you'll be able to book online classes there, but shoulder rolls with bilateral stimulation.
[00:34:34] So you start out rolling the shoulders together. Right in the same direction you do it, both directions, roll the shoulders together in the same direction. Both ways. Up. Back and down, and then also up forward and down. Both directions and then you take them separately in the same direction. Right? And then you take them. Separately in opposite directions.
[00:34:58] So one's going. Up forward and down and the other one's going up backwards and down. And so you want to do that both directions with both shoulders. And so if you're watching the YouTube video or actually now. This is on Spotify too. I'm doing it right now in the video, but if you're listening on apple podcasts, you can't see me.
[00:35:14] So that's okay. But, um, It's kind of like rubbing your belly and patting your head. You could also do that. Right. But this idea of doing. Different things with the sides of your body. His bilateral stimulation and it's really good for your brain. Right. And so that's. Gemini largely is that, um, Intellectual curiosity.
[00:35:39] And so bilateral stimulation, even just like bird, dog, where you're in table top opposite, hand, opposite foot extended. And you're doing stuff. Right. That's bilateral stimulation cause you're doing opposite hand, opposite foot. So there's infinite things you could try that are bilateral stimulation, but that's really good for the Gemini energy.
[00:35:57] And then for the Mars and Aries energy. Um, maybe a CT pranayama or see Cari. Um, CDLE is the one where you make your tongue, like a straw. You roll it. And you inhale through your tongue. Um, and that's a cooling breath. Some people can't do that though. Like some people physically cannot. Roll their tongue.
[00:36:17] And so if you can't, you do what's called seat Chari, Peroni. Pranayama and you basically bare your teeth. And inhale through clenched teeth and that's, it's also cooling, right? Which is good for the Mars and Aries energy is also just good. Like if you're here in the Northern hemisphere and things are hot, doing some cooling, pranayama is. Is good. And then one more little yoga practice you could work in is this isn't actually a yoga practice. Necessarily, like, I don't think it really comes from yoga, but if you've ever heard of thymus thumping, so your thymus is a gland just above your heart.
[00:36:52] Right. And so basically you just tap. On your sternum. With either. I like to just use my fingers. Right. Um, so this is the only thing you can see on YouTube or Spotify, but you can, I guess, technically the way it's taught, sometimes as you put all your fingers together with your thumb and you tap like that with all of them, you can use both hands. Um, but what it does is nervous system regulating.
[00:37:16] Um, and so it's a good thing to do if you are. Upregulated, basically the idea is we want to focus on cooling, nervous system regulation. That bilateral stimulation is also good for your brain, your nervous system. Um, That's the vibe for Gemini season, the cooling for the peak of summer, the Mars and Aries.
[00:37:36] Right. And then, so here are your journal prompts for the month of June. One. What new project or venture? And my feeling inspired to initiate this month and how can I harness my energy to make it successful? Um, number two, in what ways can I adapt my communication style to be more effective and innovative? Number three, how am I balancing my practical responsibilities with my emotional needs and what adjustments might be necessary? Um, so that's, especially as we get towards the end of the month and mercury moves to cancer and soundings going retrograde at that time. You might notice that. Like the burnout vibes are kind of high. And so how can you continue getting shit done without lashing out emotionally, if that starts to come up for you towards the end of the month.
[00:38:26] That's what that journal prompt is for. And number four, what. Long-term goals or plans need re-evaluation and how can I approach this process thoughtfully, perhaps even throughout the month and then five, how can I embrace and navigate unexpected changes in my financial and material life with a focus on security and practicality. And so those journal prompts are always written in the signed by signs. That I do this one.
[00:38:53] I'll make it assigned by sign for Mars and Gemini specifically. I mean, sorry, Mars and Aries specifically. Um, but I'll include the prompts for the month of June on that one. Um, and so FYI. That is for folks that are currently in the membership. The membership has not been open for enrollment for quite some time.
[00:39:15] It's been about six months. So I'm probably going to open it. Soon. If you're just itching to get in there before, then you can always shoot me an email and I'll send you the link. I just don't have a formal sign up page yet. Um, because I've overhauled it. I've. Changed systems. I have made it cheaper with that change of systems.
[00:39:36] So maybe if you were not previously interested or, um, I even actually had some folks in the membership leave around. Uh, December. So because of financial constraints, which I totally understand. Um, You know, the financial landscape of the world is pretty wild out there this year. And I get that and, um, So I have actually also. Like I'm introducing, there will be a $10 a month tier just to get the signed by signs and the one with live events.
[00:40:10] Like you can come to my office hours and yoga practices with me is $27 a month, which is cheaper than it used to be. But what it doesn't come with. Is a practice library where you can access like this whole library of everything. Because what I found is people weren't really using it and it was like a whole extra step for me to upload it.
[00:40:27] Um, So I just cut that I made my life easier. Um, if you want a few people did use it. I apologize if you're one of those people. Now you do have access to download the videos and you can save them on your own. Um, anyway, maybe that'll come back. If I get feedback that people really miss it, but. For now it's cheaper.
[00:40:47] I will have a link to join. Soon. It's just not at yet. Um, but if you're just dying to get in there, you really want this signed by sign. Shoot me an email and I'll send you the link [email protected]. And other than that, please remember to keep your feet on the ground, your head in the stars and stay in the light until next time friends take care.
