Do You Take This Summer Solstice To Be Your Invitation?
WEDDING VOWS ON SUMMER SOLSTICE
Q: Do You Take This Summer Solstice To Be Your Invitation?
A: This Summer Solstice was like no other. Surprisingly, basking in the Teton glow was not the highlight of this most brilliant day of the year. It was the coming together of two hearts ready to commit to a life of choosing each other that changed everything for me. I am deeply honored to have officiated their wedding underneath the cosmic rhythm of the Sun in trine with the Moon in trine with Jupiter; the stars certainly did not disappoint.
There is something that can only happen in the moment that two beings are sharing their vows, a vulnerability of intimacy witnessed by their dearest friends and family that will happen just this once. A threshold crossing from a life before into a new phase that truly changes everything in pristine alchemical spirit.
My heart remains so full in my happiness for them. This day was a culmination of over a decade of connection, love, trials, tribulations, and profound growth in the mirroring of one another into being. The Summer Solstice, where the light remains as long as it can stretch from dawn to dusk, illuminating the joy and possibility that we as humans are so privileged to live.
ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS
For me, this was also symbolic of a threshold to cross. A walk from where I have been into where I am going. First, a review of the current astrological weather. We have just come through a very potent eclipse portal, signifying the completion of aspects of mind with the Gemini/Sagittarius axis at play. Saturn and Uranus came to a perfect square this week, igniting a relentless undercurrent of change, one that I am personally deeply navigating within.
The contractions of Saturn coupled with the expansions of Uranus, can sometimes equate to an inner “kicking and screaming” that can feel like days upon days of labor pains. Looking back on this past week, were you asked to or even forced to touch into some uncomfortable depths of being?
And then Jupiter stationed retrograde on the solstice, a point within a harmonious triangle composed with the Sun and the Moon. Blessed be. This retrograde Jupiter journey is one to receive. May we all be blessed as we snuggle into the affection of deep philosophical introspection. Our personal spiritual journey is asking for attention. What is most important to you?
FULL MOON
Lastly, this full Moon; The Capricorn Moon that rises in the heat of the summer brings on a bold power to drive the vision home towards the Cancerian Sun. While the good fortune of what is possible inside this Moon offers the blessing from Jupiter in sextile, Venus opposite Pluto will be sure to remind us to be vigilant within our power dynamics and to observe ourselves keenly as to remain drama-free.
Stay cool as we welcome the Summer! Hydrate in the name of the Cancer Clan and swim, soak, play, and submerge into the water whenever possible. May the days be bright, full of light, and resourceful for your inner work to shine on.
We cannot change the world until we accept we are the world. This is the new conversation.
