There’s a shift in the air now that the Solstice has arrived. The stillness invites you to reflect upon the year that has been and the year that is to come. The Solstice has historically been regarded as the turning point in time.
As the Sun pauses and changes direction, you too may like to take time to pause and reflect on the past six months since the December solstice or, around the time Jupiter and Saturn moved into Aquarius and formed their Great Conjunction.
There’s potential this month for some major destabilisation to occur. With Mercury about to station retrograde under the effects of a lunar eclipse that just happened on May 26, I encourage you to give some thought to what changes you may need to make.
If you’ve felt delays, difficulties or that you’ve been pulled in opposing directions, as these planets separate from each other, you may begin to feel a sense of relief or release.
With the stillness of the Sun, combined with the fullness of the Moon, use this time of stillness and reflection to ponder and plan the broad horizons you want to explore in the upcoming year.
So, while there is still plenty to do, I feel a stillness I couldn’t reach until now. Saturn’s ingress into Capricorn, the Solstice and Mercury stationing today, I feel I can finally breathe.
As I collect my thoughts on 2017 and focus forward on 2018, there is certainly the changing of the guard on many levels.
This week sees 4 planets cuddle up in Cancer. This may bring some sweet relief after the intense energy of last week’s Sun/Saturn opposition. Cancer is the Zodiac’s first water sign and is also cardinal, making this sign both emotional and dynamic, tender and tenacious.
