The Summer Solstice on June 21st/June 22nd marks the beginning of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun reaches its highest position in the sky and is the day with the longest period of daylight.
Since ancient times, the Summer Solstice has been recognized as a significant time of year in many cultures. It has been celebrated with various rituals and festivals. We will have a Waning Gibbous Moon in Aquarius on this day that calls for introspect.
We will be asked to turn inwards, think about our goals, and be grateful. The Sun will be in the free-flowing emotional sign of Cancer. So, expect some emotional themes to resurface. In addition, we will have some very benefic aspects this day.
The Aquarian Moon will form a Trine with Venus. This can mean new beginnings in love. The Moon will also be sextile Jupiter, the great Benefic planet. This aspect is full of luck and good fortune.
The Summer Solstice is connected to your Solar Plexus Chakra. This chakra is known to be the core essence of your personality and identity. The best gemstones to use to open your solar chakra along with activating your full potential for the Summer Solstice would be; Citrine, Tiger’s Eye, Yellow Jasper, Amber, and those of a yellow and gold color.
