Happy Summer Solstice, everyone! Today marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing with it more hours of warmth and sunshine and more time to enjoy the outdoors, and we’re celebrating with a summer solstice tarot reading.
While most of us want to make the most of the fleeting warmth of summer (thanks, Canada), summer requires a balanced approach. The summer sun is all vital life force and illumination, sure – but its peak hours are defined by a heat and humidity that can reach stifling levels. In other words, while this sunny season calls for play and enjoyment, it also necessitates slowness and ease during the hottest periods.
Astrology enthusiasts may also recognize June 21 as the start of Cancer season, the fourth sign of the zodiac and the first water sign of the year. Through this lens, we can view the next month as a sentimental, emotional period. Cancer asks us to root down and tap in to our intuition as well as our home (both in a literal sense, as well as figuratively – “making a home” in our close relationships and within ourselves).
Bringing together the sunny summer vibes and the moody water essence of Cancer, we get a whole picture view of the season we’re headed into. Today’s tarot spread is an initiation, stepping into the second half of the year with intentionality that allows us to feel the full summer fantasy. Whether you’re watching people play outside from the comfort of the air conditioned indoors or out strolling in the sunshine, summer is a time for enjoyment in all of its forms. Let’s dive in.
