Summer Solstice 2010
The Celebration of Freedom Is it a "coincidence" that the celebration of American Independence from Europe is celebrated shortly after the Summer Solstice?
Variations in human personalities born at certain times of the year have more to do with the orbit of the Earth around the sun then the Constellations used as symbols for the different types.
The orbit is not a perfect circle; it is elongated due to the magnetic pull of the Galactic Center when the Earth is positioned between our star the Sun and the Galactic Cluster of stars at its core.
Our sun is a symbol for our mental/physical material consciousness, sometimes thought of as our EGO. The Galactic Center is a symbol for our Spirit Consciousness, out Over-Soul and the higher vibration awareness.
Since Spring Equinox the earth has been pulled further away from the sun by the gravity of the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The apogee, or furthest point, of the Earth from the Sun actually occurs shortly after the Summer Solstice; around July 4th.
This variance of magnetic pull during the earths orbit could be the cause of the emotional differences seen in the astrological signs and the meanings of their four major cycle points, regardless of which hemisphere, amount of daylight, and which actual season of the year is being experience. Summer Solstice is the point when days are longest in the northern hemisphere of earth.
At Summer Solstice there is a sense of Freedom from the restrictions of our physical incarnations; so resistance to all Earthy Systems of Control. Gemini is the mental rebel; always off exploring other dimensions in their minds. They understand that no matter what other restrictions the material world may place upon them, the one place of freedom shared by everyone is our thoughts; even though we may encounter restrictions about speaking these thoughts.
Those who seek power and control over others are so aware of this potential human freedom that they have created many strategies of mind control. A study of Neuro-Linguistic Programming will explain many of the techniques used.
Celebrate Summer Solstice this year by being conscious of the relationship between our mental/material Solar System thinking and Universal / Multi-dimensional awareness. At this time of the year we can sit on the fence and experience both levels of existence. After the apogee on July 5th the Earths orbit once again becomes more influenced by the magnetic pull of our one little star, known as Sol. It represents our little personal identity, our little "i" getting more and more powerful through Winter Solstice.
Those born shortly before and after the Solstice tend to understand their material and spiritual duality and value the freedom of their thoughts. During this time of year; others also sense the energy and can consciously choose to retain this awareness throughout the whole yearly cycle.
Personal Energy for Cancer 2010
Aries: Your basic energy states, "Here I am world! I am here to experience." Life is viewed as a personal adventure with the world appearing to revolve around you until the first squared developmental energy of Cancer. Unconscious childhood memories may surface for you at this time. This can be a month of emotions and tensions as you feel that others are limiting and making demands upon you.
Taurus: Communication with family may increase during this time with requests for your participation in social events and work projects. This is a time to observe yourself and others while participating. How much expectation is there of each other? Are you putting forth effort to please others in situations that are actually contrary to your personal values? This is an opportunity to speak now before tension builds to anger during the sign of Leo.
Gemini: On their birthday, Gemini completes the solar 12th house introspective energy of the previous month and has a few days to exhale and enjoy a sense of freedom until after the Solstice and Apogee point of 7/5. The increasing emotional Cancer energy dampens the energy and enthusiasm of mental Gemini. it feels like trying to walk quickly while wading through water. Slowing down a bit can help you listen to the values and needs of others before acting. Slowing down a bit can also help you build a stronger foundation and stamina for the projects which will flow better for you during Leo energy.
Cancer: Once the Solstice occurs, there can be a reduction of tension, even before your birthday. It can be a good time for you to be introspective and let go of ideas and physical objects that you really do not need cluttering your mind and environment. Beginning with your birthday you will feel more like surfacing into social, family activities. But this year keep with you the Galactic concept of Universal Family.
Leo: Leo finds its identity within peer groups and through their own creativity. This month has a sense of recuperation for you, after stretching your world a bit during the Taurus and Gemini energy. This is a good time to explore the depths of your unconscious, even when it might feel frightening to you. Your creativity and self esteem depend on releasing the hidden limited family attitudes obtained during your early childhood.
Virgo: You may discover you have many Cancer type friends and may spend more time with them during this month. This is an opportunity to listen carefully to the values they express and decide if you still agree. Your life goal is to learn to express your own discrimination and identity. Break free of your unconscious power struggles which may often affect your health and lifestyle.
Libra: You seek balance and harmony in all relationship and feel a sense of tension this month when relationships tend to take on a more parental energy. Old family dynamics and attitudes may re-surface as you become aware of expectations people seem to place on each other.
Scorpio: This month brings opportunity to create an expanded family of those who share your goals and personal desires. You may learn to see situations from the emotional viewpoint of others which will improve your communication skills and allow you to also ask for what you need.
Sagittarius: The month of June can be so expansive for you, it feels downright overwhelming even for a Sagittarian juggler. Solstice energy can help you see beyond you own Ego world. Cancer energy brings a sense that things will start to return to your idea of "normalcy." This year try to adjust that picture and incorporate other dimensional concepts to stretch your "normal" religious and political dogmatic views.
Capricorn: Like Sag people, you may also start to feel a sense of relief and more stability coming into your life as the Earth begins its cycle back toward the mental/physical world. However, for the true Capricorn Alchemist, this is a mixed emotional month. You are aware that thoughts can shift the spiral motion into upward and Spiritualizing or downward and Materializing. Remember both are needed at this time to assist in the ascension of Humanity and Earth and bring down the concept of living Heaven on Earth. This is the meaning of the ancient reversed triangles symbol associated with your Sign.
Aquarius: Emotions and family values may not be comfortable to you at this time, especially when you observe that others are not seeing the larger picture. You will have opportunity to observe attitudes and behaviors in others which may be still be unconsciously hidden within you. You can only change yourself and can move past judgments by keeping you mind on the balancing spirals gradually moving Earth to a higher vibration of Universal Love.
Pisces: This can be a creative month for you as you have more energy and focus toward accomplishment. Trust your intuition and dont be discouraged by lack of recognition and cooperation from peers. Your unique individual gifts and viewpoint are needed at this time. You tend to retain the Universal picture throughout the whole year and can serve as a reminder to others as their hypnotized material dogmatic programming starts to take them over again.
