This Northern Hemisphere’s Summer Solstice of late June 20^th – 21^st occurs annually as Sol enters the deeply sensitive, Moon-ruled zodiac sign of Cancer. This sign’s glyph features two inward curling spirals – a perfect depiction of Cancer’s centripetal, or inward moving properties. Now, the solar force retreats inward, towards the stomach, breast, womb and most essentially, our inner world of personal memories and feelings. Renowned poetic nature philosopher and Cancer native Henry David Thoreau presents an ideal portrait of this sign’s reflective superpowers. No sign exceeds Cancer’s ability to personally connect, feel and hear the Divine through sacred space, ancestors, and affectionate bonding!
