Turning point, find your balance

Three planets changing signs, plus a Solstice (June 20) and a Full Moon (June 21), you can expect things to turn around this week. So much has changed and it will take time to figure out your feelings about it all.

It will be easier to connect thoughts and feelings, but possibly, not so easy to verbalize them. Not every thought or feeling needs to be hashed out but it can help a lot just to sit with them. We’ve become so used to disassociating from our emotions that we may not even know what they are anymore. 

In the influx of so much information, the intention is to keep us in a state of confusion and uncertainty. If you’re feeling discontent, anxious or you don’t know what is true or real anymore, then this week can help you unplug.
As the Sun reaches its highest point in the North and lowest in the South, it slows right down as if to Sol/Sun stice/still. This turning point is a time of reflection and preparation. With a Full Moon staring down the Sun, ask yourself, what are your priorities? Do you have the right balance between where you are and where you want to go? 

If you don’t then slow down, figure out your feelings, your wants and desires and make a strategic plan to bring them into your reality.

I’m calling it.   I drove around the long way, hoping to catch one last glimpse of the patch before we actually began hiking up into The Canyon. Partly because I wanted to see what I was getting into and partly because I wanted to make sure she was still there. I honestly wasn’t sure…

Life in a shell: eastern box turtle

June 25, 2025
As a budding naturalist growing up in the concrete-heavy environs of Boston, I would regularly thumb through my family’s collection of nature books and daydream about the creatures within. One species I was particularly drawn to was the eastern box turtle. These charismatic terrestrial turtles have high-domed shells festooned with colorful yellow or orange markings…
