Jan Spiller Astrology: Solstice
The SUMMER SOLSTICE in the Northern Hemisphere is that point that occurs exactly when the Earth's semi-axis in a given hemisphere is most inclined towards the Sun. It ushers in the predominance of the energies of the second three signs of the zodiac: Cancer, Leo and Virgo.
Note: In both the Summer and Winter solstices, the season change depends upon your hemisphere. In both hemispheres the progression of the signs of the zodiac underlying the ambiance in the atmosphere - is identical, so the ritual for maximizing the time periods ahead remains the same.
Cancer, Leo, and Virgo dive into an intense participation in lifethe enjoyment of feeling involved in close relationships with others. Cancer seeks the experience of the nurturing, deep love, and support possible with family members. Leo encourages us to follow our hearts and share relationships with those who trigger our feelings of love. Virgo encourages us to do things to help those we love have an easier, happier life.
