Summer Solstice And Capricorn Full Moon: A Time For Reflection
As we near the Summer Solstice and step into the nurturing and intuitive energy of Cancer season, we are encouraged to slow down and introspect. This period, imbued with emotional sensitivity, calls us to process our feelings and understand our true needs.
The Summer Solstice, marking the commencement of Cancer season, serves as a gateway to the second half of the year. It is our seasonal checkpoint, a moment to reflect on our New Year resolutions, intentions, and goals. Is there alignment with your current desires? This is an opportune time to reassess and pivot, if necessary, keeping ancestral healing in mind.
The Capricorn Full Moon on June 21/22 further intensifies this introspective energy. Occurring at 1 degree Capricorn, it is a potent time for setting intentions and planning for the rest of the year, reminding us of what needs prioritization in our lives, including our ancestral healing journey.
Capricorn, governed by Saturn, symbolizes structure, ambition, and perseverance. This provides an opportunity to focus on our goals, including those related to ancestral healing, with a renewed sense of discipline and intergenerational resilience. It’s a time to reflect on our journey, including our healing journey, and to feel stronger in the process.
However, the energy of Cancer season prompts us to balance our ambitions with self-care. Venus and Mercury's journey through Cancer reminds us to create space to process our feelings and attend to our emotional needs, an integral part of ancestral healing.
As we embrace these energies, we may experience a tug between what no longer serves us and what feels truly important. As the planets shift into new degrees, we are invited to reflect, nest, and listen to our inner selves, offering a chance to deepen our connection with our ancestors.
The second half of this lunar cycle, coinciding with the second Capricorn Full Moon on July 25, will usher in an even deeper connection with our spiritual path, a path that is often intertwined with our ancestors. It's a time for personal validation, recognizing our growth, and finding alignment with what's truly essential to feel balanced in our own energy - including our ancestral ties.
So, as we navigate the energies of the Summer Solstice and the Capricorn Full Moon, let's remember to slow down, reflect, and honor our needs as well as those of our ancestors. Let's take this time to celebrate our progress, reassess our goals, and move forward with a sense of purpose, balance, and self-compassion. After all, we are not just growing; we are evolving, and our ancestral healing is a crucial part of this evolution.
Wishing you solstice and full moon blessings,
Heather
