Happy Solstice!

It is a beautiful day here in Bristol. The sun is out shining and today, of course marks a solstice- Summer in the northern hemisphere and Winter in the southern.

The term solstice is believed to be derived from the Latin solstitium meaning ‘Sun stands still’ because the apparent movement of the Sun’s path north or south stops before changing direction.

Today also marks out the movement away from Gemini’s airy thoughtful, resourceful energy into Cancer (technically the Sun is in Cancer on the 22nd). Cancer is ruled by the moon, the “great mother” of the skies. Enjoy the maternal and emotional energy that may bring in to you. At the height of summer, why not take time out in nature this weekend and enjoy the sunshine, the natural world.

I note that this time last year, mercury went retrograde a few days later. This time we are already in a patch of mercurial mayhem. Still, Mercury retrograde is not all bad and often pleasant surprises spring up or important lessons are there to be learning from 😉

A pessimist might say it’s all downhill from here (I know someone who thinks like this!)  as from herein the evenings will get shorter and the nights longer until the winter solstice. I think it marks a wonderful time of the year and let’s make the most of it, yeah?!! ENJOY!

InJoy, InLight and Inlove

Namaste and a very Happy Solstice to you!

In the Northern Hemisphere it marks the highest point of the Suns movement, which gives us the longest day. What a beautiful thing, for many the high point of the year.

The Solstice also marks the transition from the changeable Airiness of Gemini (what a ride that’s been, huh?) into Watery Cancer. That will bring it’s own challenges to us all too! It is going to be a time for strong feelings coming out, with a full moon this Sunday and Mercury goes retrograde on Wednesday.

Stuff is still gonna be going a little intense and crazy.

From Wednesday, if you feel you need to go deep down, reflective, steadily go with it – with care not to go too deep too fast. It may be a wonderful time to heal old wounds and forgive old wrongdoings and restore lost friendships.

But try not to let it consume you. But watch out, don’t try to repress it in yourself, and be willing to forgive someone close to you (including yourself) for saying something they don’t really mean. They just thought they did momentarily.

** ALWAYS remember to breathe, just breathe. **

No matter how much it hurts
when you feel you are alone
You stick out like a sore thumb
and feel like you don’t have a home
You are always lovingly looked after
From things you cannot see
So trust in the ever knowing universe
That commands both you and me
And sometimes lessons hurt
But if they are well learned
You come out the other side brighter
Instead of being burned

Peace, joy, light and so much love
