Trends of the June 2012 Solstice: emotional intensity, inner explorations.

       The times of the year in which there is a change of season are the most important of the annual cycle of the Earth. These changes form a regular pattern to which all nature and life on Earth is adapted. From ancient times, temples and observatories were erected to align with the equinoxes and solstices, the turning points of the year.

     The June solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its maximum north declination, located exactly on the Tropic of Cancer at declination/latitude 23° 1/2 north. When the Sun reaches this position every year, it enters the zodiacal sign of Cancer (not to be confused with the constellation of the same name). This is the start of the season, whether summer in the northern hemisphere or winter in the southern hemisphere.


       The chart made for the Sun's ingress to Cancer contains indications of the trends that will develop during the three months that follow: from the end of June, to July, throughout August and part of September. If we follow and understand the general trend, we can make our personal flow within the whole much easier ... And of course there are interesting trends in the June Solstice 2012.

      

     The Moon, at the solstice moment, is in ecliptic conjunction with M41, a star cluster in the constellation Canis Major, just below Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. The star cluster M41 has several bright orange stars of type K, which tend to emphasize emotions, desires and sexuality, in addition to a productive and creative capacity, too. And while good production and creativity are always welcome, there can be too much emphasis on the emotional side during this season. Therefore we must take advantage of it and use it as an impulse to pursue our dreams. And most of all, we must use our desires as a motivation, not as an end to satisfy in themselves.

     The Moon phase is New Moon, which means that it is a good time to promote new projects. But the general atmosphere of the summer/winter will be very emotional, because both the Sun and the Moon are in the zodiacal sign of Cancer .. Try to cool down any emotional excesses that surely will manifest, and try to use logic and common sense. However, it is a good time to explore and balance our emotional life and our inner world, at home, with relatives, working on the unconscious and our own family and cultural roots.

     As there aren't many options, we better dive into the pool of our personal unconscious! This will be excellent for healing emotions of the past, for discovering and integrating unknown parts of our history, for using saved or inherited resources, for healing our emotions and releasing them. Redirect your emotions in a positive way so you can  follow your dreams, motivations and expectations with more clarity and less weight. This is the message of star cluster M41 for successfully surfing the mid-2012...
