Why the Summer Solstice Is the Most Powerful Day for Manifestation
The longest day of the year is here.
Today marks the summer solstice as June 21 is the longest day of the year and the official start of summer.
The sun-soaked day coincides with the beginning of Cancer season as the fiery orb also enters the zodiac’s resident Care Bear. Because the sun rules over our ego and perception of ourselves, once it’s aligned with compassionate Cancer, the self-love vibes are at an all-time high. Midsummer often gets a bad reputation, but there’s no need to have a mental breakdown in a field — although crying is a form of self-care, too. June 21 is the day the sun is shining at its highest and brightest, allowing us to bask in its rejuvenating warmth. Think of the summer solstice as an opportunity to soak up the replenishing rays of the sun, channeling the star’s energy to inspire self-growth and transformation.
Following a particularly lucky new moon in Gemini, the summer solstice is the most powerful time for manifestation all year. This weekend’s new moon formed a square with Neptune in Pisces, creating a cosmic coupling that heightened our collective intuition. Pisces is a notoriously perceptive and emotional sign, while Neptune rules the realm of dreams. This planetary meeting, accompanied by the summer solstice makes this the perfect time to speak your dreams into fruition.
While we’re kicking off Cancer season, the effects of the Gemini new moon are still in the air. Considering the twins are especially gifted in the arts of communication, while Cancers are particularly sentimental and nostalgic, putting pen to paper and visualizing the future you want to create yourself is the best way to harness the light of the summer solstice. Given that we’re halfway through the year, reflect and brainstorm on the life you want to build for yourself as if its already yours. Although the sun may not be the biggest star in our solar system, it is a star nonetheless and embracing its life-giving energy will set you on the right path for the rest of the year.
