The Solstice That Came And Went...

The Summer Solstice came in with a bang, and I took a nap. The ancients will tell you that one is supposed to explore all kinds of rituals and feel all kinds of buzz on the longest day of the year, but I was just too dang tired. What’s interesting is that usually around this solstice, I tend to go off the radar to recharge. It’s vacation time, and while I won’t be able to travel too far, I do intend to do some serious nothing whenever possible, with a touch of mind travel, at least.

Not to worry; my need for rest and solitude does not at all serve as a barometer for how energy above is affecting us below. Summer is officially underway after all, and everyone should feel energized! I attended my first moon fire ceremony over the weekend, where we were asked to reflect on our lives these past few months, starting with the longest night of the year at Winter Solstice. I am thankful to be able to say that my energy has shifted a complete 180 degrees; I have gone from being lethargic, to feeling excited about what’s around the corner. My gratitude box is overflowing these days, and it might just be worth doing some reflection on your own, especially as the days begin to grow shorter. 

In the meantime, please be sure to embrace the light of the Sun and the spirit of Mars currently moving through the sign of the Mother, Cancer the Crab. I insist that you insist on nurturing your mind, body, and soul, getting in touch with your needs in order to thoroughly enjoy the summer months ahead.

Check your horoscopes  to see how this energy will affect you over the coming weeks. Don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign too.
