Monday, June 18, 2012, a Gemini, waning moon gets us ready, to begin anew as we wind down our monthly, moon phase!

So what is it on these waning moon hours that you would like to wind down, and end?

Farmers often use this last moon phase to cull, and to weed out, their bad crops!

And you can do something like that too? Start that diet, stop smoking?

In fact, whatever you would like to put an end to, you will get added help, from our waning moon, on Monday, this week.

However, Tuesday's moon, on June 19, though still in Gemini, is just the opposite! As it co-joins the sun, at 11:02 a.m. EDT and begins its new cycle called "new moon". That is the time each month when whatever it is you want to keep, and expand...will gain and increase as the moon does.

So Tuesday, this week after 11:02 a.m. EDT, look towards those New beginnings, and plan things to do that you would like to be doing all month. Farmers, have long held to that time for planting, as it seems to produce strong plants and abundant crops.

All adding excitement into the air early in a week, that also includes on Wednesday, June 20, the Summer Solstice! The time, when the Sun shifts into loving Cancer, heralding in Summer, 2012, at 7:09 p.m.

Wow pretty important stuff, and we are only mid week!

Thursday, June, 21, the first full day of summer, looks significant too. Especially in the EDT morning hours, as the Cancer moon, and the planet Mercury, co-join and tangle in a difficult aspect, with sober Saturn! And that early day aspect, causing many annoyances, can color all our thoughts, bringing communication snags throughout the entire day.

Friday June 22, the Moon's move into Leo, will feel like a needed positive, jolt!

All just in time for our weekend. Setting cares aside to open hearts and enjoy life without any selfish ambitions.The lift we need to reduces tension and invites fun, helps us, to enjoy Saturday, June 23, too.

The mood is more serious on Sunday, June 24, with a lunar entry into earthy Virgo, encouraging a more grounded approach to relationships. Best to try to use your more critical eye, to accomplish those hard to do chores, and not to critique what others are doing. Patience, to make Sunday, a good one!
