June Astrological Update

by Marci McCaffery

Astrologer Marci McCaffery

June opens with a flurry of activity, marking the beginning of three major eclipses. Contrasting patterns of stability and instability suggest an unpredictable theme. On June 1st, an intense Solar Eclipse at 11 degrees Gemini highlights increased social and intellectual pursuits. This is a great time to meet new people and expand your social circle. New channels of perception are highlighted as well. The more positive we remain in our thoughts, the more positive our circumstances become. The Gemini Sun-Moon conjunction is in a harmonious aspect with Saturn in Libra, (both in mental, air signs). This helps us be more selective in initiating new beginnings. We are advised to avoid distractions and focus on one issue at a time.
Positive aspects between expansive Jupiter and mystical Neptune provide many rewarding opportunities from (May 31st to June 12th)). Neptune turns retrograde on June 3rd until Nov 9th. Our ability to internalize, accept, and surrender to the natural flow of universal rhythm is accentuated.

Gemini by Josephine Wall

On June 4th, expansive Jupiter makes its third sign transition, as it enters dependable Taurus until June 11th 2012.  This stabilizing energy implies opportunities for increased abundance and improved economic situations.  Maintaining a spirit of generosity is crucial during this opportune period.
On June 15th, a Lunar eclipse at 24 degrees Sagittarius, closely conjuncts our Milky Way Galaxy at 27 degrees Sagittarius. These energies intensify our ability to understand old information in a new, more enlightened way. Similar to the Solar eclipse, this is a time to follow the promptings of our intuition for guidance. Use this full moon to explore how old beliefs may be holding you back.  Our ability to let go of outmoded emotional patterns is essential. The Summer Solstice arrives on June 21st, the longest day of the year. The energy is vital for exploring new ideas and implementing practical solutions.
Additional features for the month include; Venus, as it moves out of dependable Taurus into the erratic energies of Gemini. Love for variety is in the air. However, be careful not to spread yourself too thin. Saturn picks up sped as it resumes forward motion in Libra on the 12th. This will stimulate us to assume responsibility for the reality we create. Mercury changes signs on the 16th as it moves into the emotionally tentative waters of Cancer. Our thoughts turn to home, family, women and property. Fiery Mars moves out of plodding Taurus into breezy, versatile Gemini on June 20th, where the pace is likely to accelerate and quicken.

CUBE SYMBOLISM & ANCIENT WISDOM

by Bruce Johnson

The Cube Of Space by Michael Schuessler (poster available $60)

A cube or hexahedron is a square in three dimensions with each face equal in size. The New Jerusalem that allegorically descends from heaven in the Book of Revelation is a cube of approximately 1400 miles in length, width, and height. Islam’s holy mosque in Mecca contains the Caaba, which is based on the double cube. Esoterically, the cube is a symbol of the regenerated and perfected soul, living in a state of permanence.
The ancients often symbolized the logical rational mind of man as a cube, in contrast to the spirit, signified by a sphere. The cube is one of the five perfect solids of Plato and Pythagoras, along with the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron. It corresponds to the number four, the body and the earth element, and is symbolic of matter, stability, solidity, and truth, which is eternal and unchanging. Cube symbolism is also found of the Tarot, contained in the Emperor, Chariot, and Justice Cards. The Devil Card displays a half- cube, representing imperfection, imbalance, and excessive materialism.
The cube was frequently used as a pattern in ancient times for many types of buildings, including temples of all kinds, and was often the foundation stone of the structure. The six faces of the cube when unfolded form a Latin cross. Numerous altars and temples around the world were based on the cube and/or the Latin cross, including the famous Temple of Solomon.
The crystal system of different elements, minerals, and gems, are not surprisingly, built on the cube. Halite (salt), fluorite, pyrite, garnet, lapis lazuli, spinel, and diamond are all based on the cubic crystal system. Many of the metals with the densest specific gravity are based on the cube. This group includes copper, silver, gold, platinum, and lead.
Although not known for religious structures founded on the cube, Larimer Square in Denver does have restored buildings of Civil War vintage that are architecturally interesting to see.
The book – The Continuum Encyclopedia of Symbols, edited by Udo Becker, is a good book for the student of symbology, along with – A Dictionary of Symbols, by J.E. Cirlot.

Hot Books for Summer

AREA 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base

by Annie Jacobsen        $27.99

Area 51 by Annie Jacobsen $27.99

It is the most famous military installation in the world. And it doesn’t exist. Located a mere seventy-five miles outside of Las Vegas in Nevada’s desert, the base has never been acknowledged by the U.S. government-but Area 51 has captivated imaginations for decades.
Myths and hypotheses about Area 51 have long abounded, thanks to the intense secrecy enveloping it. Some claim it is home to aliens, underground tunnel systems, and nuclear facilities. Others believe that the lunar landing itself was filmed there. The prevalence of these rumors stems from the fact that no credible insider has ever divulged the truth about his time inside the base. Until now.
Annie Jacobsen had exclusive access to nineteen men who served the base proudly and secretly for decades and are now aged 75-92, and unprecedented access to fifty-five additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base, thirty-two of whom lived and worked there for extended periods. In Area 51, Jacobsen shows us what has really gone on in the Nevada desert, from testing nuclear weapons to building super-secret, supersonic jets to pursuing the War on Terror.
This is the first book based on interviews with eye witnesses to Area 51 history, which makes it the seminal work on the subject. Filled with formerly classified information that has never been accurately decoded for the public, Area 51 weaves the mysterious activities of the top-secret base into a gripping narrative, showing that facts are often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.

About the Author – Annie Jacobsen is a contributing editor at the Los Angeles Times Magazine and an investigative reporter whose work has also appeared in The National Review and The Dallas Morning News. Her two-part series The Road to Area 51 was one of the most read in the Los Angeles Times Magazine. A graduate of Princeton University, she lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons.
