Summer Solstice - Sun 21st June, 2015

Happy Summer Solstice and Happy Father's Day to all. Today the 21st June the longest day in the year is full of light, abundance and heralds the soon to be Sun's movement into Cancer, a sign linked to family, the home and nourishment and nurturance. Solstice in Latin means the Sun (sol) stands still (sistere) and this is considered to give much power to the Sun which represents the self. So it can be a positive time to do a ritual to manifest what one desires even if you just burn a candle and say a little prayer. The Moon's movement into Leo square Saturn reminds us of respect for our fathers, elders or mentors which is pertinent for today.
