MEDITATION
Roses – the Flower of June
THE ONENESS I CALL GOD
Whose presence I have recognized,
Whose pleasure or displeasure I have sought,
Has been seeing His life through my eyes.
He hears through my ears,
His breath comes through my breathing,
His intuition I have felt,
Therefore I know!
I know that this body
Which I had thought to be my own,
Is really a Temple to God.
I did not realize this before.
I did not know that this body
Was a Shrine to God.
Not knowing that God experiences life
Through Man —
One is always seeking God
Somewhere else.
In some person or energy
Apart and aloof from this World.
But all the time,
God is within oneself!
—Elizabeth Joyce 2.21.92
May God grant me Health, Protection and Guidance.
The days grow longer but the time grows shorter!
The Sun has entered GEMINI
The transit of the Sun through airy GEMINI brings you face to face with the principle of duality. You can divide the world in half, making contradiction the norm, or expand your mental horizons to synthesize several approaches simultaneously. Choose this latter path during the phase of the Twins. By elevating your intellectual standards of higher knowledge and honest communication, your consciousness taps into new veins of rich ore. Exult in the exploration of reading, writing, short travels and scientific inquiry. By placing an emphasis on wit, good humor, and the potency in your voice and hands, this cycle can sate your curiosity and let the creative genie out of the bottle.
June is the month of weddings and graduations. In the United States we have a veritable industry centered on helping people figure out where they are on a scale from passive to assertive to aggressive, and how to move them themselves from one place on that scale to another. A person’s basic temperament is what it’s called at least up to a point, and most of us have our basic strengths and weaknesses. Another human quality that each of us has to work on is something we face most often when we are in love, or at least think we are. Commitment! For some people, saying “I love you” means forever, while for others it might mean for an hour, or a day, or until the “real thing,” whatever that is, comes along.
June marks the beginning of the summer months, and though it’s not the hottest (August gets that vote) this year it gets some extra heat from Mars opposite Pluto followed by Venus opposite Pluto. To find out what this might mean for you, order your reading from Elizabeth Joyce under our Psychic Services.

ANIMAL: THE RACOON
RACCOON
Generous Protector
Racoon, protector of the underdog.
Provider for those who have none.
Do you wear your bandit’s mask
To hide the good deeds that you have done?
Teach me to turn away from
Rich rewards or worldly acclaim.
Knowing that my generosity allows
My warrior spirit to be reclaimed.
Raccoon carries the medicine of the protector of the underdog, and provider for the young, infirm, and elderly. Often called the “Little Bandit” by southern tribes, this Robin Hood of the animal kingdom teaches us about generosity and caring for others. When Raccoon comes your way, you are being asked to contact your inner warrior, to become a protector and generous provider for those in need. Raccoon medicine people have the uncanny ability to assist others without allowing them to become victims or dependents. Like the tribal chiefs of old, Raccoon tends to the needs of the tribe before taking anything for itself.
A troupe of Raccoons scouting for food is often a hilarious exercise in generosity. Aftermrolling on the communal or floor, they finally settle on their favorite morsels, giving the best tidbits to their lookout. Raccoons leave a lookout behind when raiding a campsite or mountain cabin , usually the dominant male. He is always fed first by the other raiders to honor his viliglance as the group’s protector. This uncommon lack of greed is as rare in humans as it is in the rest of the animal kingdom. While other creatures fight one another for the best of the kill, Raccoon teaches the Universal Law of giving back to the source of your strength, guidance, and protection. You are also reminded that benevolence and generosity come around all circle to reward the giver.
Raccoon has wandered into the Gemini vibration of 2021.The little banding may be asking you to look around and see who may need use of your strength at this time. Speak up in defense of another instead of remaining silent when others are gossiping. Maybe it’s time to share the bounty of your time, energy, or possessions with others who are less fortunate. However, remember to help those in need to develop their own protector and provider skills. In all cases, Raccoon asks you that you honor yourself and others equally. Provide for your own needs first, or your well will be dry when you choose to give generously. Chief’s earn their Eagle Feathers when they promote every human’s right to self-dignity; acting in this manner brings the same honor to yourself and your family.
JUNE CRYSTAL — Pearl – Tigereye
PEARL This gift from the sea brings tears to those who receive it. The pearl, as a standard jewelry piece and lovely as it is, reminds us of the oyster and other sea creatures. We have loved many products of nature and have destroyed nature in the process. Pearls are formal, correct and always beautiful.
TIGER EYE A variety of quartz. Beneficial for spleen, pancreas, digestive organs and colon. Emotional behavior and enhances connection with personal power and will. Creates grounding and centering. Helps soften stubbornness. Enhances clear perception and insight. Slightly masculine energy.
RUNE OF THE MONTH
JUNE — SOWELU
WHOLENESS, LIFE FORCES, THE SUN’S ENERGY
Sowelu is the symbol of Wholeness, that which our nature requires. It embodies the impulse toward self-realization and indicates the path you must follow, not from ulterior motives but from the essence of your individuality.
Seeking after wholeness is the heart of the Warrior’s quest. Yet, what you are striving to become in actuality is what you already are in essence. It is your personal myth. That which your soul carries to make conscious and bring into form in a creative way. The Sun symbolizes the path and illuminates the goal, which is the human heart.
A Rune of great power, making life force available to you, Sowelu marks a time for recharging and regeneration, right down to the cellular level. You may actually experience power surges, for the energy involved can be drastic. Although this rune has no reverse position, there is a reason for caution. You may see fit to withdraw, to retreat in the face of a pressing situation, especially if events or people are demanding that you “spend” your energy now. Know that such a retreat is a retreat in strength, and that it can mark a voyage inward for centering, for balance. Timely retreat is among the skills of the Spiritual Warrior.
At the same time, for some, this Rune counsels to open yourself up. Let the Light come into some part of your life that has been held secret and shut away. To accomplish this may call for profound recognitions, for admitting to yourself something that you have long denied. There is a prayer that Ammachi teaches called the Gayatri Prayer, that embodies the spirit of this Rune. Salute the Sun in this fashion.
You, who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the whole world,
Illuminate my heart,
So that I, too, can do your work.
While reciting the Gayatri Prayer, visualize the Sun’s rays streaming forth into the world, entering your own heart, and then streaming out of your heart center in turn. This is an extremely powerful and life-enhancing prayer.
Again, there is caution not to give yourself airs. Yet, even in a time of bountiful energy, you are required to face and vanquish your refusal to let right action flow through you. Nourish this capacity, for it is your true function. Aim yourself truly and maintain your aim without manipulation.
Practice the art of not forcing. Aim yourself truly and then maintain your aim without manipulative effort. Meditate on Christ’s words, I can of mine own self do nothing. For in our own power, we do nothing, even in loving, it is the Love that loves through us. This way of thinking and being integrates new energies and permits you to flow into wholeness, which is the ultimate realization of your personal myth, and the goal of the Superior Warrior.
This has always been the section for Healing Requests. Through the power of group prayers, healing take place spontaneously. You can be of help to many others, as well as your loved ones, with one minute of silence at 7:30 pm EST every Sunday evening anywhere in the world. With a prayer for the recovery of health, universal energy is sent out to any and all who send in their prayer request. What is needed is the name and birth date of the ill person, along with a diagnosis, if possible. What are you asking to be lifted? When you place your request in the Healing Circle of Light—located in our Prayer Room, – know that as soon as you make your Prayer request and Healing request – you will begin to see positive results!
(We have had thousands of responses. Keep the Prayers going for all concerned!)
