Summer ☀️Solstice
One of the 4 Key Markers on our journey around the sun each year is the SUMMER SOLSTICE, (Northern Hemisphere . . . Opposite in the Southern Hemisphere), when the sun enters the Cardinal-Water sign of Cancer at 0* . . . moving the energy grid into a higher harmony on earth, as we shift from the seeding season of Spring to the flourishing of nature’s bounty in the Summer Season.
O* of the 4 Cardinal Signs: Aries ♈️, Cancer ♋️, Libra ♎️ & Capricorn ♑️, is known as the “Aries Point,” in Astrology, as it relates to our connection to the world-at-large through the signs ushering-in the 4 Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter, respectively.
This year, 2024, Summer Season will begin on June 20th at 4:51 pm EDT (adjust for your Time Zone) as Cancer Season begins & the Summer Solstice occurs. This marks one of the most cosmically powerful days of the year, honouring the longest day and shortest night in our calendar year. (northern hemisphere).
The ancient peoples lived in greater connection with the natural world than most of us, today and were more in-tune with the rhythms of the universe. They erected monumental stone structures as solar observatories that still stand, today, and where many people continue to gather to pay tribute to the sun, our giver of light and life!
Six Ancient Sites around the world aligned to the Solstice are:
Stonehenge (England)
Manchu Picchu (Peru)
Chichen Itza (Mexico)
Chaco Canyon (New Mexico, USA)
Newgrange (Ireland)
The Sphinx & Pyramid of Khafre (Egypt)
Cancer ♋️, considered to be the most nurturing sign of the Zodiac and the archetype for motherhood, invites us to concentrate on self love, self-care and then we can give to others. It urges us to rely on our intuition, tap into our feeling nature and live from our heart.
In Honour of this Potent time of year:
Happy Summer Solstice and the Celebration of our Lifegiving source: the SUN☀️
“Let your INNER LIGHT . . . SHINE!”
NAMASTÉ 🙏
