June 2019 Summer Solstice Ascension + Energy Update
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, June heralds the Summer Solstice, the longest, brightest day of the year. June tends to be my favorite month of the year, as my birthday falls on June 20th - right on or near the solstice - and I love the playful golden energy that arrives with summer. Summer aligns with the archetypes of the Maiden/Puer - the eternal inner child that we all hold within our hearts.
On the Summer Solstice, we can connect more easily to the realm of the Fairies, Elves, Devas, Nature Spirits and the Queendoms of Magick, which metaphorically and symbolically represent the true innocence of our divine nature. Summer is a season where the additional hours of sunlight in the day remind us in a very visercal way that life is filled with endless possibilities and invites us to remember the timeless world of childhood - where we engage in the world with a sense of curiosity, wonderment and imagination.
The Summer Solstice is a beautiful time to celebrate the joy and magick of life in some form of sacred ritual. In ritual, we step out from the every day “hustle and bustle”of life and go into a liminal, timeless space where we can connect with all the Ancestors that have walked the Earth and tune into their ancient wisdom. Wisdom which knew the importance of honoring the Goddess, the Earth Mother, the Sun, Father Sky, the transitions of the seasons and the cycles of life with reverence and gratitude. You can perform a Summer Solstice ritual alone, with a beloved friend or within community. There is no right or wrong way to honor the Goddess. It can be as simple or elaborate as your heart desires and as your busy, modern schedule allows.
Here are a few ideas to get you started but please let your imagination be your guide! Definitely ask your inner child to help plan your beautiful, playful solstice ritual and remember it is all about honor, gratitude and respect for all of life. I
Some Summer Solstice ritual ideas that can be done with alone or with a few other people can include going to a favorite place in nature and giving an offering of honor and gratitude to Mother Earth / the Goddess / Source and to Father Sky / God / the Sun. Some beautiful ideas for offerings are flowers, crystals, sacred talismans, your favorite foods or special herbs you work with. I like to keep a special herbal blend at my altar that includes dried mugwort and dried flowers. I bring this blend anytime I go out in nature or to make a flower essence, to honor Mother Earth and the nature spirits of that area. If you work with altars and make altars at your home, you can also make this offering at your altar and light a candle.

Summer 2019 Energy Update
This years' 2019 summer solstice falls on Friday, June 21st, exactly four days after the Full Moon in Sagittarius that fell on Monday, June 18th. This powerful June Full Moon aligned very powerfully with the Galactic Center and preparing us / the Earth for this years summer eclipse season, which began on Tuesday July 2nd with the New Moon in Cancer / Solar Eclipse, continues on through the Full Moon/ Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday July 16th and ends on Saturday July 27th. However, the catalytic and transformative ascension energies and spikes in the Schumann resonances will continue on until approximately Sunday August 11th, three days after the Lions Gate Portal on Thursday August 8th. For those of you who do not know, the Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum.
Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth's surface and the ionosphere as Earth goes through her own Ascension journey of which we are all apart. To add to the healing - and likely triggering - potential of this eclipse portal, Mercury went retrograde on Sunday July 7th (the 7/7 gateway) and will not go direct until the New Moon in Vibrant, Expressive Leo on Wednesday, July 31st 2019. Currently, we think of Mercury as the planet and archtypal energy for communication, technology and commerce, so that in our current area of e-commerce and global interconnectivity when mercury goes retrograde we can go into the fear based mode of worrying about all the havoc and slow downs it may wreck in our businesses and lives.
However, the original symbol for Mercury is of the caduceus (the sign we often associate with modern medicine), showing us that Mercury is also a powerful archetype of the healer and alchemist, having the power to “wake people up.” On a personal note, as a Gemini Sun, I am ruled by the planet Mercury, and as a woman who embodies being both an intuitive channel and an energy healer, I was excited to recently learn of this deeper association with Mercury as a symbol for being the messenger/communicator archteype and as symbol of the healer/alchemist archetype.
Thus, a more love-based, elevated perspective on the conjunction of this eclipse portal alongside mercury (and many other planets) being retrograde to suggest that this is a divinely, universally orchestrated time of deeper healing and integration to support our individual ascension journeys. Mercury retrogrades provide us time to slow down in order to reflect, heal and integrate. And if we don’t consciously allow time to slow down, heal and integrate, Mercury will assure we get slowed down.
Eclipse seasons are to assist us in speeding up our evolution (we are talking in quantum time here NOT linear time) but only if we allow time for the shadow material coming to the light of our conscious awareness to be released, healed, loved, integrated - thereby making more space for our Higher Self/ Soul to take the lead - and enabling us to make our next bold quantum leaps after Mercury goes direct / eclipse season ends in late July - early August. his eclipse and mercury retrograde portal is literally a time where we are being asked to slow down in order to speed up. Thus anything that gets triggered now and that we are forced to slow down to tend to, is actually serving our highest evolution.
The highly activating and catalytic energy of this summer is well under way and for those of us who are energetically sensitive and well into our Ascension journey - what I like to call the First Wave of Ascension - you are likely feeling these energies, making this an ideal time to reach out for personalized, 1:1 healing support.
