Excerpt from Patreon – The Sun then leaves Gemini and enters Cancer on June 21, signalling a seasonal shift as we arrive at summer solstice. This is the beginning of astronomical summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. Here in the North, the Sun reaches its maximum declination, the Oak King is at his greatest power, the Sun God is brilliant and bountiful. Our star brings us light and life, sending rays of gold down to tickle the Goddess beneath. In turn she swells into greens and blossoms, giving off the heady, heavy scents of summer blossom which attracts bees and other insects to pollinate. During summer, the trees are heavy in leaf and fruits grow rapidly. At summer solstice, we celebrate the abundance of nature and honour our star. I have made a video on Patreon ($5 tier) which further explores the meaning of this festival, how to celebrate and I also explore the Cancer ingress chart. Merry solstice to you all!
