It's here, it's the summer solstice, Litha, the longest day of the year. Even if it's hard to believe in June, Litha also marks the beginning of the summer season. Despite everything, let's not lose hope, the sun will soon reappear so that we can finally declare summer. The smell of sunscreen, the beach, drinks on the terrace, or walks in the mountains, no matter what your summer looks like, it's Artemis, the big-hearted goddess who leads the dance. The sun enters the sensitive sign of Cancer and sets in motion a period where this sublime divinity exudes softness, roundness, femininity, and sensitivity. It's a phase where introspection, feelings, and creativity take over. Let out all the feelings, anxieties, and questions that have been bothering you this spring. The energy of Cancer is back to help us take a new direction. It's finally time to reap the rewards of all the hard work and sacrifices we've made since the beginning of the year. And for that, who better to support us through this sunny season than the generous and empathetic Cancers!
During this period, we are also under the influence of the goddess of the moon, nature, and the hunt, Artemis. A powerful goddess and twin of Apollo, Artemis is extremely connected to nature and women. Known to be the great protector of women during childbirth and goddess of fertility, she occupies a very important place in this Cancer season, full of femininity. Moreover, her most famous cult site was, as goddess of fertility, at the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In short, a true pioneer of girl power! When the Moon is in Cancer, sensitivity is at its peak, which can be very difficult for some people to manage. This is why it is important to let our emotions speak and ensure that they do not overwhelm us. This period is therefore very strong in energy and will push us towards the voice of communication and exchanges with others. It will be essential during these conversations to let our hearts speak. We will also have to learn to stand out and be aware of our qualities. This is a phase full of new encounters, whether romantic, friendly, or professional, so put yourself in the spotlight and show others who you are!
In nature's annual symphony, Cancer season emerges with a gentle and captivating atmosphere, awakening within us a deep desire to reconnect with our roots. It is a time when every warm embrace, every memory that resurfaces, seems to invite us to surrender to the most comforting pleasures of family and to cherish every tender moment offered to us. Nostalgia, that sweet feeling that envelops our hearts and soothes our souls, finds its most tender blossoming during Cancer season.
At the summer solstice, during Cancer season, as the summer season gently sets in, it is a good time to invoke the sensitivity and benevolent spirit of the Moon through this simple ritual:
Focus on yourself : Take advantage of this season to spend some time alone; it's time to reconnect with your deepest feelings.
Find an activity : Whether it's cooking, decorating, crocheting, or reading, now is the perfect time to start a new hobby that will occupy your summer afternoons.
Take care of your loved ones : Spending time alone doesn't mean you have to neglect your loved ones; take the time to visit them or invite them into your little cocoon.
