This Friday is the Summer Solstice!
The longest day of the year. The day that the Sun moves into the cardinal water sign of Cancer.
It's officially summer!
Solstices are a major event for everyone, especially tropical astrologers.
This is the ingress or entry of the Sun into Cancer and studying the chart for this moment gives a glimpse of what to expect in the coming months.
There are some wonderful aspects which promise spiritual experiences. However, there are also some challenges and surprises.
With all of the shocking news and events going on around the world, it can be overwhelming. However it is important to take care of yourself no matter what.
We can counteract that stress by meditating and doing what we love.
With a Grand Trine of Sun in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio - intuition and psychic powers are flowing. This grand trine offers an outstanding opportunity to build something creative or spiritual.
Water signs can be subtle and mysterious so pay attention to any signs or impressions that you receive in the coming months could lead to success.
Grand trines offer an unstoppable flow of emotional energy that can be used positively or negatively. Beware of getting caught up in scandals or emotional issues which may be overwhelming at times.
Relax and meditate before making any big decisions and you will go far with this combination of planets.
I wrote all about the ramifications of Saturn trine Neptune in my five part serious of articles (read here.) The introduction of the Sun into the aspect indicates that leaders and other important people will be directly involved or affected by the Saturn/Neptune influence.
If you feel overwhelmed, spending time in water activities, going to the beach, sitting by a lake or even taking a bath or jacuzzi dip will sooth you.
Where this Grand trine falls in your natal chart will tell you what areas of your life you can take advantage of some amazing luck and potential to build your career and status.
Along with the Grand Trine in water signs is a very tight conjunction of Venus and Mercury in Cancer. Creative writing, ideas and information may prosper in the next few months. If you have been thinking of writing a book or starting a new blog, this summer is the time to start!
This is a good time for peaceful negotiations and lucrative communications. Your ideas may pay off this summer.
This doesn't mean that the Uranus-Pluto square is any less active as the Sun is forming a wide applying T-square which indicates that revolutions, protests, and other disrupting events will continue to go on all over the world.
Be aware of what is going on behind the scenes as secretive maneuvers are also successful in this Grand water trine aspect. If something feels fishy, investigate it fully.
The media and news that reaches us is never fully objective and accurate. Be careful of what sources you trust and do your own investigation to get to the bottom of any issues that are important to you.
This is also a good time to rid your computer of any viruses as dealing constructively with secretive things is successful now. Pay attention to places and things that you may normally overlook for new opportunities.
With the Grand Trine in water, we may look within to find a positive way to work things out, possibly behind the scenes, through peaceful means, changing the way we do things and making a difference by supporting each other and showing compassion towards each other.
