Full Moon on Flag Day!

Strawberry Dyad Super Moon
Full Moon on Flag Day, 2022
By Dikki-Jo Mullen, Astrologer
The Full Moon on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 is at its perigee, which means that it is making its closest passage to Earth and so is called “A Supermoon”. It will appear larger and brighter than most full moons. Also its energies might have a stronger impact on the weather, tides and emotions than is usual during a Full Moon. This lunation might evoke reactions related to military service and patriotism, as it takes place on Flag Day, a holiday which honors The Stars and Stripes.
(Flag Day is a celebration of the adoption of the American flag by the Continental Congress in the First Flag Resolution of June 14, 1777. Although the anniversary of this date was celebrated by flying flags on public buildings and holding remembrances in several cities, Flag Day wasn’t officially recognized until President Harry Truman signed it into law in 1949. Bernard J. Cigrand, known to the general public as the “Father of Flag Day,” worked as a school teacher at Stony Hill School in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He held the first unofficial observance for Flag Day at that school in 1885.) For those who observe Full Moons with drumming, drawing down the moon ceremonies, prayers and meditations this would be an apropos Full Moon to dedicate a blessing to our precious country and flag.
The Full Moon on June 14 will be exact at 7:52 am EDT at 23 degrees Sagittarius 25’, within orb of a conjunction with the Galactic Center! (the GC is 26 Sagittarius 54’. It is the center point of the Milky Way and marks a place of great celestial energy.) Names traditionally given to this Full Moon in June include the Dyad Moon and Strawberry Moon, ushering in influences of duality and a sweet harvest. “Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolized” offer this description for the upcoming Full Moon “A ship in full sail in the midst of the ocean”, it suggests change, travel and a focus on foreign places. Expect the mood to be unstable and unsettled. The closest aspects to the Strawberry Moon are a quincunx to Venus in Taurus and a sextile to Saturn in Aquarius, unexpected social interactions, odd creativity and the urge to make helpful changes can be a focus. This is also in the Sun-Jupiter decanate of Sagittarius, which favors idealism, high aspirations and celebrity entertainers or athletes. Connections to pets and wild life can deepen. It might be tempting to adopt a new cat, dog, bunny, horse or other animal companion.

Celtic Astrology Oak Month June 10 = July 7

The Month of the Oak Tree In Celtic Astrology
Duir – Celtic Horoscope Sign-
June 10 – July 7
Sign of the Oak
By Dikki-Jo Mullen, Astrologer
The Celtic Calendar is based on an ancient tree and plant Zodiac. It has a link with Stonehenge and the other great Stone Circles. Duir, the sign of the Oak Tree, honors strength and endurance, purity and consistency. The Druidic beliefs were based on a cult honoring the sacred oak tree. A transmigration of growth, through the challenges and blockages of early life to emerge proclaiming liberty is the theme here. Germination on the astral plain for the purpose of finding a portal to higher dimensions Oak is more long lived and stands taller than most all other trees. Doors and furniture made of oak have been known to last a thousand years. The golden wheel, white horse, planet Jupiter and Dagda, the ‘good god’ of Old Irish mythology reign link to this Celtic sign. A chief of the fey ones, Dagda was an early agricultural deity. He divided the hills and the mountains among the Tuatha da Danann. With his inexhaustible cauldrons of stew and fruit trees, he is a benevolent provider.
This time of year is alive with the magic of life and growth.
Oak is the tree which bears acorns. Once a main food source for wandering tribes, the acorn’s health and longevity benefits are studied by those interested in nutrition today. Freya, the Norse Love Goddess, wears her hair in the shape of an acorn, honoring this sacred tree. In mystical circles the acorn brings us the highest and most sacred kind of fertility… creativity of the mind! Give birth to your own creative potential by honoring the blessed acorn talisman.
