litha-the summer solstice


i can’t believe the summer solstice is already here! just a few more days (june 21st) until the longest day of the year and a progression of shorter and shorter ones thereafter. then fall!! holy crap! i’m turning 33 this year in october and i can hardly believe it. i have a myriad of thoughts that go through my head, both good and bad. and then i read this.....

"Fold your wings inward, Libra. A poignant and intense year begins on June 4th, when expansive Jupiter enters Taurus for a year. Taurus rules your eighth house, one of the most complex and internal parts of the zodiac wheel. It rules intimacy, vulnerability, sex, birth, death, spirituality, shared finances, real estate, "other people's money" (taxes, credit cards, inheritances, loans)...to name a few.
It's the place where we merge our most personal resources with others'—no light matter. Needless to say, the next year might not be the most fun time you've ever had, but the opportunity for growth—emotionally, spiritually and financially—is tremendous, especially if you're willing to explore all of your shadows AND your light."

there’s comfort in a little cosmic insight i guess!? anyway, litha is a day to celebrate! let all of our worries fall by the wayside as we take in every ray of sunshine and give thanks for what we have. because even in hard times, even in the dark, the light always shines through! remember to eat good food, drink good drink, and be in good company on this day. celebrate the sun! celebrate each other.
