The Solstice arrives this week. If you’re located on the northern half of the globe, the Sun will reach its highest point and slowly begin the descent of light towards the Winter Solstice. If you’re reading from the south, the Sun reaches its lowest position, and from there, the days will slowly grow in length.
Whether you’re enjoying long summer days or fresh winter nights, the Solstice represents a time when the Sun stands still. It’s a time to pause and reflect on the six months that have passed and the six months that are to come.
It’s not only the Sun that arrives at a turning point this week. It appears that humanity has, too. While the Sun pauses, it seems as though timelines have sped up, and the great divide in humanity has become even wider.
It’s the sign of Leo that is ruled by the Sun. Its organ, the heart. The heart is the centralizing and organizing principle of our bodies and the Sun, the entire Cosmos. After an exceptionally long time in Leo, Mars exits and arrives in Virgo, trading the heart for the head. If taking action from the heart has not got the results you want, it may be time to trade passion for facts.
