Summer Solstice – Northern Hemisphere

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. Of all 365 days, this day takes up the most space and holds the most light. It is the portal of time and space that the Sun and Earth are the closest they will be in their sacred dance.  Here, the Sun shines the most light it will. The Earth receives the most light it will. It is a peak of expression, fullness, strength, abundance, fertility, creativity, warmth, and activation.

Winter Solstice – Southern Hemisphere

While the Northern Hemisphere faces closest to the Sun within its cycle, the Southern faces the furthest away. It is the shortest day of the year. It is distance. Space. It is the emptiness that allows for fullness. The silence that allows us to hear. The rest that allows for action. The stillness that allows for movement. The reflection that allows for insight. This day is the preparation for a rebirth of the Sun. For after today, the Sun will continue to grow in its influence, closen in its distance, and strengthen in its expression.
