Summer Solstice And Solar Eclipse June 20th – 21st

Well, this is an action packed Cosmic week as we enter the last part of June! No less than six planets are in retrograde movement, re tracing degrees of the zodiac.  We have the trickster planet Mercury doing so, on 18th June until 12th July, encouraging us to think outside the box and re visit decisions, re edit things and re connect.  Try using the part of the brain which links with intuition, patterns, imagination more. 

On Saturday 20th June there is the summer solstice at 22.44 – the longest day following on 21st – and an opportunity to renew our light and power. There is a new moon solar eclipse the next morning at 7.41 am. This solar eclipse in Cancer on 21st June births new emotional approaches and encourages big inner and outer change. Time to adjust, and have new beginnings as well as loosening old ties and thoughts which no longer serve us. Home, belonging and nostalgia are areas of focus now. How can we find that in ourselves as well as outside?

 Eclipses can tire our physical and nervous bodies and we can feel off kilter, so do get more rest especially over this coming weekend.  It is a powerful time of recharging and re aligning and not a useful time to rush ahead or burn out!  Gentleness towards self and others is key to health and wisdom now.  Your dreams will be more significant at this time as well!

 The next six months are strongly influenced by this eclipse and its fellow lunar eclipses either side of it. How you use this coming week sets the stage for new healthy beginnings and growth. Here is a look at where the eclipse and summer solstice connect with YOUR horoscope!

Aries 

 This Cancerian solar eclipse and solstice time arrive in your arena of home and beginnings and release points. Cancer is a water sign, at   times at odds with your fiery nature. Try to use this coming week with strong intuition and creative approaches to any problems.  If domestic issues rear their heads take a break and go for a walk!  You will feel restless yet you do need to get rest and peace now. Rectify mechanical or similar problems at home.

 This will give you space to come up with solutions and ideas that are productive. By and after 28th when your ruler Mars enters your sign, you will have a clearer head. Don’t over think things! 

 Leo

You may not feel much like it but this week is great for exploring your inner world. Dreams can prove prophetic and revealing and your spiritual side is to the fore. Past memories surface and you will need time to explore and heal them; as a result you will start to see your life changing for the better. Your will power comes on stage more and family and work colleagues sense your charisma and intuitive power more.

 A quieter but stronger side is emerging. This next six month cycle for you highlights your selfless side and desire to help.  You are turning a big corner that you have been sensing for a while.

Sagittarius 

 The solstice and solar eclipse this weekend augers well for regeneration at a deep level. You may feel like being around people who you share a quest or vision of life with. If you do not have people like that in your world you will find yourself looking for some! 

 The seeker in you is setting the stage for a mindset and a trust in your innate knowingness that will bring you much closer to your soul and authenticity. Stripping back layers to make life simpler will appeal.  On a more mundane note, Joint finances are an issue worth addressing this week. Inner and outer resources are drawn on to help you.

EARTH SIGNS during Summer Solstice and Solar Eclipse 20-21 June

Taurus

This transformative eclipse on 21st arrives in your arena of communications and learning power. The following months see a leap forward in your desire to empower and engage others. If you are thinking of learning a skill now go for it.

 Neighbours and siblings play a busier part in your day to day life this coming week and being you surprising news of changes. Being flexible is on the radar for you to become more comfortable with life.  Your influence on others becomes more apparent – use that talent wisely.  A job change or some other shift of direction will interest you shortly.

Virgo

The life bringing solstice and pivotal solar eclipse in the arena of your friendships and team playing highlight new perspectives, opportunities and outlets. Maybe this won’t be overnight but will start gradually over the next six months.  A friendship needs a new look at and you will be addressing the balance of giving and receiving with it. Fairness and fair play are keywords at this time to bear in mind.

A plan for the future can be shared and discussed with a group that supports you or a close associate. It is good for you to have a vision now. 

Capricorn

 The summer solstice and eclipse are triggering your sun in Capricorn now and for the next couple of weeks. This is a truly transformative time for you to have a look with new eyes at your priorities at work and at home. If you haven’t been initiating healthy and timely change of late now is the time to make some decisions- especially after mid July when Mercury turns direct in motion. 

Weigh things up carefully then go for brave change and clarity. Relationships need fresh air at this time. Look for memories, dreams or re occurrences from the past to help with this.

AIR SIGNS during Summer Solstice and Solar Eclipse 20-21 June

Gemini 

 Two weeks on from the full moon lunar eclipse, you are now ready to implement and manifest decisions made at that time. Now is not the time for indecision. Finances are highlighted, so whether you are overdue for sorting them out or more excitingly, ready for a new kind of income, use the end of June to get things going. 

What are your true values now? Does your lifestyle mirror them? This is not the time for being over clever with ideas and analysis. Rather, simplify things and root some fertile intents. Slow down a bit so as to enable the dynamic cosmic energies this weekend to do their best for you. 

LIBRA

 Your career axis is highlighted this weekend and you will see the results of going back over things, and re editing plans pay off. Projects and ventures see the same picture.  A parent or parent figure has advice for you worth taking.

 They may even themselves need more care. You are being urged by the dynamic eclipse to look at equality and your role in the outer world or at work. Bosses can prove tiresome or… employees can! Don’t rush your fences but put yourself first this coming week so as to get better clarity on relationships with self, others and the world at large. You can afford to be more detached now. 

 AQUARIUS

 Your employment sector of your horoscope – or where you have definite routines – are up for inspection by yourself. Little things can niggle you now.  Be careful of overloading self with these. Your nervous system needs more care and techie stuff can upset it more than usual. 

 Health as a result will interest you more than usual – whether yours or others. An interest in new diet or better still a new regime of gentle fitness appeals. Don’t sweat the small stuff please and then you will find this time period a productive and illuminating one. Mentoring yourself works well; be your own best friend!

WATER SIGNS during Summer Solstice and Solar Eclipse 20-21 June

CANCER: 

 Well, you Moon babies, there is a lot resting on you at present with the solstice, solar eclipse and Mercury in your sign!  Remember though that you feel like a sponge at times and are a water sign at heart, attuned to rhythms and people’s energies.  There is only so much you can absorb and give.

 Certainly, help and give birth to the new but remember to nurture yourself as well. You have had experiences over the past year as a reminder to do just that. Now is a bigger prompt to not waste that learning. Eclipses are draining and in Cancer this weekend you need more rest – really treat Sunday 21st as a rest day!

Your self image and way you communicate will evolve but time for you is the way to allow this. The word ‘Allow’ is your keyword now.

 SCORPIO:  

 The solstice highlighting your travel sector of your horoscope, can mean sudden travels or links with people overseas, and/or future plans for travel.  Maybe just for now short journeys are more appropriate but you are being propelled forward by the solar eclipse and Mercury there as well to explore something and you need more freedom to do that. If you have been thinking of learning something, start now.  Make it meaningful for your future freedom of lifestyle.

Less is more now but the intent and determination are present and will guide you.  Your power is re surfacing.

PISCES:  

With this dynamic solar eclipse at the new moon on 21st in your arena of creativity and, inner child and indeed – if you have them- your own children-  make the most of being a little bit more centre stage and shining your light. After the eclipse, make an intent and wish to enjoy life more and have moments of wonder and simple pleasures.  Sounds too simple? You will truly benefit and it will have the added bonus of making you look and feel more youthful. News of a baby around you soon. Also, a youngster may be making a big change in their life. 

       Keep Well and be kind to yourself and others!
