Summer Solstice 2026

The Sun moving into the sign of Cancer sparks the expansive fires of Summer Solstice. Here we find ourselves in the spot light of an all encompassing light, illuminating places and spaces that would ordinarily be tucked away, blurred and obscured from our view…

Ruled by the Moon, Cancer season invites us into a precious point of equilibrium, where the two luminaries are coming into a place of power. This indicates that the soulful qualities of the Moon are able to be more greatly integrated and understood more effortlessly by the Sun’s inspired Spirit.

The season of Cancer and all that it represents— the emotional body, the Mother archetype, the intuition, naturally has the tidal effect of both pulling us into the nostalgic past, and pushing us into the future unknown. As we hold ourselves through the resurfacing of times past, this is a moment to reflect on who we aim to be and how this image may be influenced by our own inner images— our own memories and imaginations, for good and for ill…

When we surrender those images that aren’t serving our greater vision into the warm shallow waters of this archetype, the tides will indeed carry the rest of us right where we long to be.
