20 May — 21 June 2024
Your monthly horoscope according to your birth sign (Sun-sign).
This month, both the Sun and Jupiter enter Gemini, the zodiacal sign relating to logic, desire, and seeking answers through information exchange. Allow the Sun and Jupiter to help you fulfil your goals not only by expanding your view of what is possible but in the trust in yourself to do it.
Gemini Sun
Happy Birthday, Gemini! Allow that yearning you have been feeling for a better world to infect your actions. You are in the driver’s seat, but be watchful you don’t hand over your creative power to others… YOU are the creative.
Cancer Sun
Ultimately, we humans discover that it is only through our spiritual self that we find fulfilment. This month, God’s grace is pushing you to look deeper so why wait, Cancer? As the ad says, “You can pay me now, or you can pay me later.”
Leo Sun
Things are looking bright, Leo! Channel your inner lion into the courage to take charge of your life and this month you can make big gains. A place to start? Seek wise words and encouragement from those who have successfully gone where you wish to go.
Virgo Sun
This month, the world is your stage, Virgo, and you are the main star. Work and activity get a boost from creative insight and your natural penchant to serve. Don’t be shy! Avoiding the spotlight does you no favours. Embrace your greatness!
Libra Sun
Relationships have always been important to you, Libra. What about the relationship you have to abundance and wellbeing? This month, learn from someone who has a great relationship with their capacity to manifest wealth, beauty, and good health.
Scorpio Sun
Do you feel the hand of God, Scorpio? His hand is your very own intuition and insight and He is really pushing you to listen to your inner muse. Don’t overthink it; your desire to help make the world a better place will guide your actions.
Sagittarius Sun
Relationships get a boost this month, Sagittarius, and what is the most important relationship? The one with yourself, of course. You are more than a mere body and mind; the world, too, is a part of who you are. Make friends with Life by seeing it as it really is.
Capricorn Sun
Finding your place in the world, Capricorn, involves more than simply fulfilling obligations. This month, discover your place by inviting your own joy and desires into your decisions. Self-denial is something for you to unlearn, not embrace.
Aquarius Sun
What fun, Aquarius! Your creative self is on fire, literally! Before you set fire to the house, find a more beneficial expression for your creativity. Paint a picture, write a song, or energise your income capacity. Ride the wave, Aquarius! Spiritual practice helps.
Pisces Sun
Pisces, what do you really want? This month, give attention to home and family and watch how the other aspects of your life blossom. Family is not the answer, but it is a catalyst. At the root is an understanding that ‘home’ is where the heart is.
Aries Sun
Desire is often a wild horse that gets us stuck in repeating cycles. Not this month, Aries. You are experiencing more courage to explore what it is you really want. Allow your naturally expansive insight to show you the way towards true fulfilment.
Taurus Sun
Communication, communication, communication! This month, Taurus, communicate to others your vision for a better world. Your insights have the real possibility of transforming your home and finances and community into a bastion of stability and joy.
Hi David,
It’s always such a pleasure to receive your newsletter!
As you know, I do a bit of artwork, and some years ago I worked my way through book that substantially improved my skills. It is called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards. I mention this because engaging the right hemisphere vastly improves spacial perception (which is rather ignored in conventional education), enabling us to perceive better without labels (labelling is a left hemisphere function). The book gives a series of very effective exercises that train one in accessing the right hemisphere at will.
I believe that irrationality and excessive emotional reaction stems from misapprehension rather than hemispherical dominance. Engaging the right hemisphere is not an emotional process at all, but enables highly accurate drawing, mainly because you are basing your pencil-marks on observation, clarity and seeing what is really before one, rather than basing pencil-marks on the left hemisphere’s preconceived notions.
For example, if I am drawing a face, the left hemisphere might say, “Oh yes I know what that looks like – 2 eyes, nose, mouth.” Using the left hemisphere, we then draw representative symbols of those things like this:
🙂
rather than recording the clearly-observed the complexity of, say, the wrinkles round the mouth, the hair growing out of the nose, the very slight drooping of the left eyelid… You get the idea. The right hemisphere is suited to observing and noting complexity in the spacial sense. Learning to draw from observation is therefore a lesson in objectivity.
The left hemisphere is suited to labelling, categorisation and symbolic thinking. It can result in preconceived labelling if not tempered with the right hemisphere’s ability to observe complexity…we need both. The two are really similar in that without clear observation of the object of awareness, you end up with poor quality thinking and action.
Bipolarisation in the discourse about hemispheres is partly due to associating left-brain with masculine and right with feminine attributes. This is a perfect example of left-brain thinking gone wrong, in that it is erroneous categorisation. It is true that women are not (generally) left-brain trained, but I think this is due to cultural factors. Most women are not especially good artists or architects either.
It has also become fashionable to put men down, so left-hemisphere thinking is sometimes denigrated as if it were the attribute of males only – another example of sloppy thinking based on erroneous categorisation, not on observation.
Using both hemispheres would lead to better apprehension of reality all round. In this, drawing has huge potential for expanding awareness.
Many thanks again.
Sally
