SUMMER SOLSTICE 2026

In the Northern hemisphere, we will be celebrating the summer solstice on Sunday, June 21, 2026, at 4:24 a.m. EDT. The summer solstice signals the longest daylight of the year. In my area in central Ontario, we will experience approximately 15 hours and 36 minutes of daylight.  The further north, the more daylight time and the further south, the less daylight time.

 

This powerful solar energy can recharge every ounce of our being -- our spirits, minds and bodies.

 

All things are energy and energy is interconnected. Some individuals are more in tune and are quite aware of these influential external energies such as the summer solstice. With or without this awareness, all living things are affected by the position of the planets at their birth, by the continual movement of the planets through life (transits), by the influence of the rotation of our earth including the changing seasons and any other shifts that occur in nature.

 

Guided by spirit/our higher self (call it what you will), we live our truth, both during the easy flow and the more challenging life lessons. How we utilize the energies available and our attitude and focus toward each and every event determines our experience.

 

Take advantage of the strong solar energies of the Summer Solstice to push forward. Use the more aggressive energies of the Sun to catapult onward and allow yourself to bloom into your own true beauty. Rise above the chatter of your thinking mind (and the relentless outside chatter around us) and simply allow life’s energies. See the world around you for what it is without judgement.

 

With the summer solstice 2026, the Sun is at at its fullest potential (from our earthly position). You too can allow all your inner power and beauty to radiate out. Express your true self as there is nothing more perfect or authentic.  By allowing your authentic self to bloom, you will benefit and so will each and every living thing that your energy touches.

 

What a glorious time of year.

 

Allow yourself to mirror the seasons. We have just experienced the wonderful season of renewal. We hopefully have worked hard to create buds of promise. Now is the time to allow those buds to bear the fruit of our efforts. This beauty and abundance will be seen and experienced by all who share this garden of life with us.

 

Happy Summer Solstice 2026!

SUN IN CANCER 2026

On June 21, 2026, we move from the mutable air sign of Gemini into the cardinal, water sign of Cancer. 

 

The Cardinal Modality (Cancer, Aries, Libra, and Capricorn) are the initiators of the Zodiac.  They like to be on the move and push ahead with great enthusiasm and energy.  While each sign has its own tendencies as far as push and drive goes, Cancer has to do with family and nurturing.

 

Cancer is a sign highly sensitive to the inner feelings of those around them. Cancer may not be to the same extent of sensitivity as Pisces, but Cancer is similar in that many Cancerians take on the energies of those around them.  Therefore, it is important that they surround themselves with people of similar nature and not of a negative emotional makeup.  Cancer’s need for nurturing others, as well as an instinctive need for nurturing themselves, often brings people into their lives who are in need of emotional healing on some level.

 

Many Cancerians are very protective of their children, their family and of those that are in need.  Some Cancer individuals aid the underdog and wish to help in an over-the-top manner. They take care of those they care about and will, for example, offer peaceful surroundings when someone visits, like a comfortable couch and a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

 

They can be quite nostalgic and have good memories; they hold on to past.  Hurt runs deep and they don’t forget but usually learn to forgive others. Most Cancerians enjoy the classics and old furniture.

 

Cancer individuals truly need a place where they feel safe enough to unwind and recharge their emotional batteries.

 

Cancerians are loving and sensitive partners.  They do not like any type of gruffness and do not do well with argumentative people.  They are good companions.

 

Cancer individuals are great friends and may hold on to friendships for a long time even when hurt, but they will eventually let go when their friends become too aggressive or too needy if the loving Cancerian is being used or taken advantage of.

 

Cancer individuals can accept change, but they enjoy the comfort of convenience and feel at ease with what they know to be reliable and steadfast. 

 

Cancer individuals are sensitive, emotional, family oriented and sentimental.  They genuinely care about the welfare of others. 

 

Happy solar return to our caring, intuitive, gentle, mothering, “I feel” Cancer readers.

 

Watch for our short forecast for Sun in Cancer to be posted June 22, 2026.

READY FOR THIS JOURNEY

We all go through varying stages.  Some seem to last a very long time, while others pass by too quickly. 

 Change is guaranteed, so in one way or another, we are all preparing for a new direction. 

 

Some tend to hold on to the familiar and struggle to move forward.  They are quite comfortable with the way things were even though change is required to clear the way for something new to blossom. They fear the unknown and the uncertainty.

 

Others reach out for the new path with open arms.  They are happy to move out of conditions that have been challenging and, although they may be fearful, they understand that it is time to change direction. With this attitude, the gate to the new path is unlocked.

 

Life is change, and we must “allow” to make the inevitable journey easier. There are many paths we travel throughout life but each one ends. We will learn from these changes and adapt, and although we might not be sure of where we are head, we will adjust. There is a new phase of our existence waiting for us.

 

If a new path awaits, you know that it will take you to where you need to go.  There are no mistakes; no matter how things might look.  You are meant to experience life at its fullest. You are not only ready for this journey, you need this change.

POWERFUL TRANSITING ASTROLOGICAL CONNECTION

Transiting Pluto and Neptune have been making a Sextile for many years and will continue to do so for some time to come.  The tighter the orb, allowing up to a 5° orb of influence, the stronger the connection.  As mentioned, this is not a new influence but deserves mention as there are tight configurations coming into play as we write this.  June/July of 2026 are under this auspicious connection as are August and September of 2026, and again June to November of 2027.  There are other tight connections after that date as well.

 

Jupiter while in Leo also tightens up this connection with a Trine to Neptune and an Opposition to Pluto all at 4°.  This all takes place in July of 2026, and very tight from July 19 to the 23. 

 

Jupiter will enhance this powerful Sextile between Pluto and Neptune bringing potential enlightening experiences for those especially with planets at the 4° range in the birth chart.  Jupiter brings expansion, growth, spiritual or religious inclinations, luck in observation as it entices this configuration.  It is suggested that we take time during this enlightening time to meditate and get closer to our connection with spirit on this earthly plane.

 

Neptune and Pluto together promote deep concentrated energy leaning toward enlightenment and spiritual enhancement for humanity (Pluto in Aquarius) and in personal terms (Neptune in Aries).  Jupiter in Leo suggests that we jump in and open ourselves up to this powerful energy through meditation and focus. What we can do as an enlightened species for all of our brothers and sisters across the earth?

 

Those children born with this combination and especially on these dates might well be not only interested in this energy as they mature but be enlightened individuals as well.  The whole chart would have to be studied but it will be fascinating to see how these particular individuals function during the course of their lifetimes.

 

Those that have a tight connection between Pluto and Neptune and are in an enlightened state understand that this connection has a powerful impact on their existence.  Those just awakening to this energy are aware that there is more going on than meets the eye and believe that something of significance is under way at this time. 

 

Check your ephemeris to see when this configuration may apply to your chart and what planets or angles may be a part of the picture. The dates mentioned above should and will be recognized by all. We can work together to help our world under these current challenging times.

 

This powerful transiting Astrological connection will be felt by all but especially by those in tune to the energies. Observe the transformation of spirituality, intuition and dreams over this long-term transit.

LIFE REALLY IS NOT SO BAD!

Is life moving at a magical pace? 

 

Are things going so well you struggle to believe it this can happen to you?

 

You may ask what you did to receive this or question if you deserve this.

 

Doubt can slip in unnoticed. You may question yourself if you are “Good Enough”. 

 

Stop doubting yourself. In an authentic manner, be appreciative of what is happening. 

 

I say authentic because you must look at your life in the present moment and appreciate this moment for what it is.  Not just because you know this is what you are supposed to do, spiritually speaking, but because you truly, deeply appreciate your life in this moment. 

 

Maintain this positive momentum. This moment is perfect.  It is important to stay in the moment rather than anticipate what is to come. If we cannot appreciate what is here now, how can we appreciate what will be?

 

Your life may not be perfect, in your opinion, but in reality, it is exactly what you need in the moment.

 

Take time to reflect on all that is in this moment with gratitude.  It may take some time for you to recognize that “life really is not so bad.”  This is when your eyes can be opened to the good or perfection that surrounds you. When your eyes are open, you regularly reflection with appreciation and more begins to unfold.  You might have to look deep initially but the door is beginning to open.

 

Life will still happen to all of us, but we also know that we must experience life, all of life, no matter how we choose to look at it.  Our attitude is what matters.  Life really is not so bad. You hold the key, open the door to gratitude.

GEMINI NEW MOON 2026

The next New Moon, which occurs on June 15, 2026, is in the sign of Gemini at 24°.  Allowing for up to a 3° orb of influence stemming from other current transiting planets, there are no planets within this degree, so this New Moon stands on its own without influence from other transiting bodies.

 

A New Moon in Gemini speaks of ideas and decisions which are subject to change and often without notice.  This does not mean that any plans that you make at this point are going to change or that moving ahead might not be such a good idea.  What it does mean is that the likelihood of change in your plans as you push forward with whatever intent you may have.

 

You may decide on one thing and then after careful consideration or some action, other agents of influence may enter the scenario.  There may be some “what ifs” and you may want to revise your plans so they fit more comfortably into your new current situation. 

 

Gemini is a mutable, air sign, which suggests that after deliberation adjustment may be made, and you can easily maneuver your way forward because you have the ability to shift and blend ideas to make them more suitable.

 

A Gemini Moon, and the Moon in general, always have to do with emotion and sensitivity, which suggests that this may be a moody period. Your feelings, which are channeled through the thinking process (because of Gemini’s influence), can be changeable because your moods fluctuate.  It is more of a thinking Moon than an emotional Moon.

 

Think things through before moving ahead with your ideas.  This helps the process and restarting or restructuring is less likely.  However, if you want to make changes to your plans, this is quite doable. Nothing is written in stone and mutable signs are flexible. 

 

Move forward with conviction, once you make up your mind which route to take. You will see what the results are in about six months’ time when we experience the Full Moon in the same sign, Gemini.

 

Much depends on the aspects in the Natal Chart to this New Moon’s position.  The aspects will determine what areas of life are involved and the way to move forward.  Taking advantage of these energies is always recommended.  Allow a 3° orb of influence with your natal chart as well and use only the major aspects especially the Conjunction and the Opposition to understand the energies.  Don’t forget to check the houses involved.

 

Do not stress over the outcome. Move forward and understand there is the likelihood of modifications along the way with plans under the Gemini New Moon 2026. Your original plan might unfold in a different manner.  Moving ahead with confidence anyway!

OBLIGATIONS AS A PARENT

Our children are our children regardless of their age.  We will always be Mom or Dad to our kids, although as we age, the gap certainly begins to shrink.  In some cases, our children become our best friends, after all they have been with us since their beginning.

 

As they mature into themselves, it is important to remember that as we made our way through adversity and learned valuable lessons so will our children.  We are their parents but, at some point, we must step back, trust in the seeds we planted and let them learn through life’s experience and their own judgement.

 

This can be a very difficult task, as we feel we must advise and help in whatever way we can.  Reassure them that we are always there for them. The lessons they learn through experience are the most valuable and the ones that they remember. 

 

Do you remember when your parents tried to advise you? 

 

Most of us felt they were out of touch and interfering.  Your children will likely feel the same way.

 

We do have obligations as parents and we do our best.

 

The world they are growing up in is different from the one we grew up in. Life was easier on some levels and also more challenging on other levels.  

 

Be the example they need. Nothing speaks louder.

 

Remember you are human. If you made mistakes when they were young, acknowledge the mistakes and then let go.

 

Every day is a learning experience. Our obligations as a parent are to teach by example and to love and reassure them that we care. They too will make mistakes just as we did. Forgive them and forgive yourself.
