Embracing the Strawberry Moon Magic | Energy & Astrology Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

Send us a text

The Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius illuminates our path this week, bringing a powerful surge of transformative energy. With Jupiter now moving into Cancer, we're experiencing a beautiful cosmic dance between fire and water elements—passionate expansion meets nurturing depth. This alignment creates one of the luckiest periods of 2024, perfectly timed as we approach the summer solstice.

Now is the moment for what I call either a "life review" or a "right now review." Are you balanced in your focus, or overextending in some areas while neglecting others? With every planetary position changing in 2025, this June offers crucial preparation time. The Gemini energy supports communication and cooperation, making it ideal for meaningful connections with loved ones, vacation planning, or collaborative projects.

Forgiveness emerges as the ultimate act of self-care during this lunar cycle. Many of us, especially those on spiritual paths, carry hidden anger or resentments that loop in our minds as distrust. These energetic blocks prevent our fullest expansion. As Gabrielle Bernstein writes, "When you think you've surrendered, surrender some more." This is your invitation to release what no longer serves you—creating space for Jupiter's expansive gifts in your home life, creativity, and financial sector.

What kind of crown will you place upon your head? What empire are you building? This Full Moon asks you to decide who you're becoming and what you're taking ownership of. Old identities and self-imposed labels may need releasing as you step into greater authenticity. For those feeling called to deeper transformation, consider joining our Urban Shamanism Elevated Immersion in early July, or reach out about our upcoming sacred journey to Egypt and Jordan.

Ready to manifest your deepest desires? The Strawberry Moon is your cosmic ally, clearing away what's been holding you back and illuminating your next magnificent chapter. Connect with me for a discovery call if you're ready to elevate your journey with personalized guidance.

Episode Transcript

Magical Michelle Orwick (00:19):
Welcome to Living Magically for the
week of June 9th.
And what a beautiful, powerfulfull moon we've got coming in
this week and it's called thestrawberry moon and it's the
full moon in Sagittarius.
So this week the energy has alot of potency, a lot of

(00:41):
potential, and you too havepotential, and I'm just going to
like that's kind of what I'mgoing to call this video is that
everything, with everythingstarting this year over,
starting from scratch, and it'sbuilding on a foundation of

(01:02):
years of your skills, knowledgeand experience, but it's still a
new beginning and this fullmoon has that potency.
So what's happening?
What's happening is that first,we have this solar energy going
on.
We're almost at the summersolstice, at least for the

(01:22):
northern hemisphere, that meansthe sun is huge in the sky, it
is taking over most of the dayand it is the shortest day of
the year, coming up on the 21stof this month.
We'll talk about that next week.
But we also have the planet ofexpansion, jupiter, which has

(01:44):
now moved into Cancer, andthat's going to change a lot of
things.
We're going to be expanding ina new place, so of course it's
going to affect Cancers morethan anyone else.
Or, if you have your Moon, yourRising.
Wherever Cancer lives in yourchart.
It's going to expand that area.

(02:04):
But, most importantly,everyone's going to feel this
expansion because it's a reallylovely transit with this
Sagittarius fall moon.
So solar flares are happeningand the sky is filled with the

(02:25):
sunlight right now and we have alot of that solar energy.
But cancer rules the moon andit's more earthy and it's more
home and family and it's alsowater.
So here we have fire and sunand solar and moon and earth and

(02:50):
water.
So we have this sort of thisjuxtaposition and we're still in
Gemini, which is air.
So the good news about this iswe're really balancing all the
elements, and what I'm going tolean in for you is how do you
balance yourself?
What do you need for full onbalance?

(03:14):
Are you over here doing toomuch in one area and then
neglecting this area?
Are you over here doing toomuch over here and neglecting
that area?
So check in.
Now is an amazing time for alittle review, and I have a

(03:37):
couple of these.
One is what I would call a lifereview, and for some of you,
there's been so much change inyour lives, a full life review
is in order, and for some of you, it's just more of a shifting
of energy and where to put myfocus right now.
So I would call this a rightnow review, and so so both of

(04:02):
them are on the table for thisseason, because 2025 changes
every single planet.
To be stationed in a differentplace than it did this year will
change us all.
June, however, is one of theluckiest months of the entire

(04:23):
year.
There's a lot of joy in thismonth, and so, if you're feeling
like hopeful again, for maybethe first time in a long time,
you're feeling this Gemini.
You know happiness.
You have this Gemini thoughtsand Gemini um movement all the
way until the 21st, which iswhen it'll move into cancer.

(04:46):
But right now we're in thisreview period.
Gemini is a mind, and it can betwo states of mind where you
might feel good one minute andnot good another.
You might feel like you areclear over here.
You have the perfect timing todo, and sit and be and talk,

(05:18):
talk about your plans with otherpeople.
It's a great time forcooperation.
It's a great time for justhaving a good time.
So if you're going on vacationor throwing a party or spending
quality time with a loved one,friend, family or even a
coworker, you know, if there's awork retreat going on.

(05:41):
Now is a wonderful time toreally see how can you expand
yourself in your home life, howcan you expand yourself in your

(06:03):
financial sector, how can youexpand yourself in your creative
endeavors.
And what is looking to comethrough you, what is looking to
come for you, what is looking atmaking this a fun time for you?

(06:24):
You know this Sagittarius fullmoon is going to be fun.
So, if you've got plans, I'mgoing to be in Ohio going to the
homecoming.
I'm going to be in Ohio goingto the homecoming Minerva
homecoming.
So what are your plans for thisfull moon?
Go out, be with friends, bewith family.

(06:45):
It's a great time for ritualand it's a great time for magic.
So if I were doing some deepinner work, this is your crown.
This is your time to decide whoare you and what kind of crown
are you going to place on yourhead.
What kind of emperor or empressare you going to be?

(07:07):
What empire are you building?
What are you taking ownershipof?
What are you going to be solidand powerful and excited about?
And if there's some steps thatyou're ready to take on a new
project, this is a great timefor it.
We're only working with oneplanet, which is Pluto, which is

(07:30):
a far outer reach planet inretrograde, so there's a lot of
movement, there's a lot offorward motion and there's a lot
of fun to be had.
Sagittarius is a fun sign.
If you're looking at long-termtravel, you're looking at
short-term travel.
So if you're taking a tripright now or in the month of
June, this is a good time.

(07:50):
This is a good time for fun.
And if you're planninglong-term travel and, as I said
last week, there's still just acouple spaces on our trip to
Egypt, or maybe you've alreadybeen to Egypt and you'd like to
do our add-on trip to Jordan andjust meet us for a little trip

(08:12):
to Petra, reach out and I'll getyou the information.
This is definitely a time fortransformation as well.
So if you see your healer, yourpsychic, your friends, this is
a great time to do thatinterpersonal work.

(08:32):
It's a great time for bigtransformational healing and one
of the ways to do that is toforgive yourself, and I know
you've heard me say that before,but this is like that place
where you, if you're doing alife review or you're doing a

(08:52):
where am I right now review.
So there's looking at yourwhole life and then there's
looking at what's on the tablethat isn't working right at this
moment.
If you're doing either one ofthose reviews, it might be that
you have to accept where you are, accept what has happened, and
so I have this philosophy thatit's like a triangle.

(09:13):
So I have this philosophy thatit's like a triangle, some
people have to forgive first andsome people have to accept
first.
Sometimes you have to acceptbefore you can forgive and
sometimes you have to forgivebefore you can accept.
But either way, if you can getto that place of let go, let
yourself surrender, let yourselfbe in the bigger picture of

(09:38):
what did I learn from this?
Or what am I learning from this?
What virtue am I attachingmyself to?
What is it that the universe isasking for me to be looking at?
Or what do I need to surrenderand turn over?
Because anger lives in the body,and I just had a beautiful

(10:02):
class.
I was teaching Digging Deeperthis week and one of the things
that we really talked about ishow anger, even resentment,
little grudges, can be hiddenbehind spiritual people.
And I don't consider thisspiritual bypassing.
I consider it.

(10:23):
We don't want to hold anger andwe don't want to admit to our
anger and we want to think thatwe're better than being angry.
But when we've been hurt wehold a little piece of ourselves
and we maybe don't recognize itas anger, but if it's looping

(10:44):
in our mind, if it's loopingback to I don't trust this
person.
I'm interacting with them.
I don't trust myself.
There might be a little bit ofhealing, more than you think.
So I'm working with some peopleright now that essentially,
right now, we're on the elevatedpath.

(11:05):
So these this is a time where alot of us have already done a
lot of spiritual work and to getto that next phase, we have to
do even more work.
We.
And to get to that next phase,we have to do even more work.
We have to surrender even more.
And I love the way GabriellaBernstein states it in her book
Universe has your Back.
She has an entire chaptercalled when you Think You've

(11:28):
Surrendered, surrender Some More.
And in this case, when youthink you've forgiven, forgive
some more.
When you think you've beenaccepting of something, but you
don't want to get hurt again,forgive deeper, let go more,

(11:49):
release the poison from your ownbody, from your mind, from your
loop, and one of the ways Ilike to say that is I forgive
you for not being who I neededyou to be, and you can say that
to yourself like right in themirror.
My number one place I have toforgive is myself, and this

(12:10):
becomes an act of extreme,extreme self-care, and sometimes
we can't do this for ourselves.
Sometimes it's a little harderto see where we're stuck, and
that's a great time to do adeeper dive, do that review.
What am I learning?
What is it that my soul isyearning for?

(12:35):
Because when we're in deepdesire, our soul wants to move
forward, and especially withthis new transit of Jupiter in
Cancer meeting up with theSagittarius full moon, we're
going to see our soul deepeningits desire.

(12:56):
Our soul is going to want toreach out to that purpose, that
pleasure, that joy, and so anylittle stuck old energy is going
to show up to the surface, tobe cleared, to be whisked away,
to be let go of, and so,whatever it is you need to do
maybe you need to write it down,maybe you need to speak it out

(13:19):
loud, maybe you need tovisualize letting it go this is
that time and it's perfect.
Right now is the perfect timefor that deeper, deeper
surrender, for higher evolution,because we're evolving we're
evolving faster than we knowwhat to do with and the more

(13:43):
negativity you get out of yourbody, out of your mind, out of
giving time and space.
This is why we clean our housesand we get rid of clutter,
because the more clutter we getrid of and anger and resentment
and these things can be mindclutter, but even if it's
physical clutter around yourhouse, we want to get rid of all

(14:05):
of that so that we have timeand space for the expansion
right?
So we're letting go of the oldidentity and we get stuck in
these identities, these labels,labels we've given ourselves,
not just labels other peoplehave given us, but labels that
we have created.

(14:26):
And so the new identityrequires a little bit of work.
So elevating and becomingbetter requires you to let go of
that old version of you, andmaybe it takes a little time and
a little bit of realself-review.
And that's what I'm saying ishappening right now.

(14:48):
And if you feel like you can'tdo it alone, give me a message,
send me a DM and or call me orwhatever.
However you reach me,whatever's best for you, write a
comment, send me a message andlet's let's do a little
discovery call to see if workingtogether might just be the next

(15:08):
step in your journey.
We also have a wonderful, funtwo-day experience.
Mecca and I me, mecca andMarissa will be doing an urban
shamanism elevated shamanimmersion for the modern shaman

(15:29):
transformation the first weekendof July when I get back to
Florida.
So we'll be doing that at theUrban Ashram and it's going to
be a wonderful experience.
We've got a few slots for thatleft, so sign up quickly before
those are gone.
It's something we do only onceor twice a year, so this is

(15:53):
absolutely a must do, becauseMecca has a busier schedule than
I do and I'm a very busy girl,so to get the two of us together
to create our magic andmiracles is nearly a miracle,
but I promise it's going to be areally transformational
experience.

(16:13):
I promise it's going to be areally transformational
experience.
With all of that, I will seeyou again next week and we'll be
talking about midsummer.
Start manifesting, gettingclear on what you're bringing in
for the rest of this year, andI will see you next week.
Live magically week livemagically.
