The next Solstice arrives shortly, with the Sun entering Cancer at 2.38am on Monday morning Sydney time/12.38pm Sunday New York time.
The Solstice brings a turning point and highlights a time of transition. The Sun has reached one of its limits and is ready to adjust focus, after a period of holding steady.
Applying the ‘as above so below’ maxim, life follows suit. The Solstice itself is a time of holding steady, as the Sun appears to hang in the sky, either at its highest peak (Summer Solstice) or its lowest levels (Winter Solstice).
You might benefit from taking a couple of days to pause, reflect and reassess.
This is especially important at this 2015 Cancer Solstice, as Mercury is moving into a confusing square angle with Neptune, from 9 Gemini to 9 Pisces. Details may be hazy, or you may need extra time to sort through logistics and decisions.
The Solstice turning point may help bring dreams or visions to the surface, but it may also reveal some delays or necessary adjustments.
The Mercury square Neptune angle flavours the week ahead as it peaks on Wednesday. If you have a big decision to make, try to delay it until after Mercury clears the haze and fog of Neptune mid week.
This Mercury/Neptune aspect is the third in a three part process. The first two hits occurred on May 9 and May 29 so you may bring to completion ideas, dreams or plans that have been brewing since then.
Do you celebrate the Wheel of the Year festivals, like the Solstice or Equinox? Have you noticed the Mercury/Neptune angle?
