Solstice

What beautiful alignments we have in the coming week. By July 1, Jupiter and Venus join together in Leo, and the Cancer Sun trines Neptune in Pisces. The change in mood starts now as the Sun moves into watery nostalgic Cancer, followed by Mars on June 24.
Venus and Jupiter together spell loving playfulness and joy, and this mood underpins the rest of this month.
We should all try to be generous now, and when Neptune and the Sun exchange energy allow ourselves to forgive the trespasses of the past and revel in the sweeter memories.
Notice the exact conjunction of Vesta and the South Node and the Moon with the North Node on the Solstice. It’s a time to think about what we have inherited and what we leave behind, what our ancestors have given and how we carry on — or douse — that sacred flame.
A sweet and happy solstice to you.

Blessed Mid-Summer’s Eve Christina! How true it is…I have been thinking for quite some days now of what my ancestors have given me and how I intend to keep on carrying the flame. The painting reminds me so much of my summer days in Malta. It does feel Cancer season is coming.
And the same to you.

Happy Solstice Christina! Thanks for pointing out Vesta. We will be celebrating with friends today and I was thinking about lineage more in a Cancer way and what these rituals mean. Water and fire today. it is also international yoga day. And Father’s Day in several countries. Blessings!
