Warmth, light and good times. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. Let's discuss the meaning of this day in The Wheel Of The Year.
The Meaning of The Summer Solstice
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, The Summer Solstice happens upon us on the 20th or the 21st of June marking the beginning of the Summer. The longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, also happens alongside the movement of the Sun into the zodiac sign of Cancer (Western Tropical). On the day of the Summer Solstice, the Sun appears directly above The Tropic of Cancer, the northernmost latitude, pointed at Earth's tilted axis.
The Summer Solstice creates an energetic shift toward outward expression. There is emphasis on our connection to our sense of direction when it comes to creating our kingdom here on Earth. This is the time to nourish the seeds we have planted in order to reap an abundant harvest and to nurture our inner beings so that we can maintain the energy required of us to achieve what we set out to do.
Divine Masculine Energy and The Sun
In order to embrace the light in the dark and to be able to give life and utilize our power we must first acknowledge the darkness within the light so as not to become destructive. We must exercise control over our burning flames and direct our energy in a positive manner.
If we do not, we may become too focused on the need to harness control over others and the external world. Every individual has the right to their own autonomy. The world continues to turn with or without our own self imposed will meaning forces higher than you are at play. Therefore, you only have yourself to control.
To embrace the energy of the Sun is also to embrace the essence of our divinity. To connect to the Divine is to connect to your most authentic state of being; love, bliss and knowing that you are always supported and guided by a higher power.
Ways To Celebrate The Summer Solstice
Take pleasure in creative expression. Invite in music, art, dance and play in any way you can. The intrinsic nature of the soul wants to express itself in creative ways and the energy of the Sun at the highest point in our calendar year is inviting us to embody more of this expression.
Find new ways to energize the body. Raise your vitality levels by sun gazing, taking a walk outside or engaging in a fun, new exercise routine. Feel the energetic force that turns our planetary bodies running through you!
