This month is entirely devoted to the sacralization of the universal female polarity manifesting her force both in microcosm and in macrocosm. We call "female polarity" that centripetal, coagulating, generating, creating force permeating everything in opposition to that polarity we call "male polarity" being a centrifugal, dissolving, destroying force.
Each individual has both polarities: the perfect being, the Androgyne Rebis, can show simoultaneously these two forces.
For this reason June is therefore a female month by definition during which this energy, pertaining both men and women, is celebrated. In a more profane sense, June is essentially dedicated to women.
Juno has his name from Juno a great Goddess representing the
sacralization of the female being, the Jupiter's female polarity with who she shares the simbology of authority, preminence, majesty, heights.

fertility, birth and motherhood. Her sacred ministress, the flaminica -
the flamen Dialis' wife (Jupiter Minister) every first day of the
month, sacrificed to Juno a white heifer to ask protection for women.
