Card of the Week: June 19 – 25, 2017Summer Solstice
The Sun moves into Cancer this week (on Wednesday, June 21, 2017), marking the onset of the Summer Solstice as well as the longest day of the year.
This is measured by the amount of time between Sunrise and Sunset for those in the Northern Hemisphere; it’s exactly the opposite (Winter Solstice and shortest day of the year) for those in the Southern Hemisphere.
This card — from Steven D. Farmer’s gorgeous Earth Magic Oracle deck — is called “Radiance” and honors the Sun’s role in giving us the longest day of the year, i.e., the Summer Solstice.
When we think of the Sun, we think of warmth, light and life. It warms our spirits as well as our bodies; it brightens our moods as well as the outside world, and it brings life to our dreams and goals as well as to every living thing on the planet.
It refers to the wonder and glory of being alive. Of feeling warm, confident, radiant and spirited. Its attitude is that “everything is as it should be” today, for you and in the world around you.
Summer Solstice, A Time For Renewal
Hello 🙂 My name is Malia. I am a natural empath, intuitive, practitioner of energy healing. Although, there are times it seems more accurate to say I am an interpreter of vibration, feeling and color.
Summer solstice, a time for renewal and rebirth, a time to enjoy the fruits of our labors, a time to pay tribute to the sun, and settle into our new expectations for the coming months.
The summer solstice offers us the longest day of the year and is widely considered the first day of summer. Having spent some sleepy, cold winter days soul searching, letting go of the old, and planning for the new, this is the time to step gently into the new ways, enjoy the Sun, and in 2016, the rare Strawberry Moon.
Solstice celebrations run across traditions world wide, and after Monday’s solstice, our daylight hours will begin to decrease, as we inch back towards the fall equinox in September.
