Solstice approaches, turning of the solar wheel. This year the June Solstice lines up intriguingly with the Cancer New Moon. A celestial gateway opens that will carry us through a miraculous eclipse series in July and August.

Sacred sites at Stonehenge in England, Chaco Canyon in North America, Machu Picchu in Peru and many others align with the Solstice, the portal created as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. The ancients knew. Solstice is stillpoint, a special moment when creational energies are especially potent. At the Solstice, be still. Listen to the voice of the soul. Allow yourself to be guided lovingly on your journey as you attune to the Divine Essence that flows through all of Creation.

One of the cardinal points of the solar wheel, this special Sun-Earth alignment enhances our powers of manifestation. What we hold in our minds will be multiplied through this gateway. Prayer, ritual, feasts and celebration magnify healing vibrations around the planet.

Earth and Sun align in a culmination period that lasts several days. Honor the blossoming of your dreams and visions. Celebrate with your community. Enjoy the sights and sounds and scents of the season. Gift the Earth and all beings with prayers of gratitude and peace. Allow your divine, radiant, solar self to shine!
