Summer Solstice 2024

Summer Solstice 2024 Greetings!


 

The sky will be filled with light at the Summer Solstice when the longest day of the year coincides with the Full Moon on Thursday, June 20, 2024. The synchronicity of the Summer Solstice, the Full Moon, and their alignment with spiritual Neptune, is an apt symbol for the greater light coming to our planet. Despite appearances to the contrary, there is much energy for growth and breakthrough! 

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in April introduced the idea that you could positively transform elements of your life that you thought were insurmountable. The Summer Solstice will help you expand even further into new directions. Contemplate the ways you would like to do this. Experiment. Be fearless about accepting failure. Defeat can be the first step toward success-as part of the exploration process. This is a time of massive discoveries that will bring about dramatic advances!

It's also a time when many revelations will come to the surface-governmental and corporate corruption, secrets, and malfeasance will be exposed. Yet, it will be challenging to obtain the full story.  Follow your intuition to determine what feels true when confronted with new-and potentially true-information and revelations. Your own belief systems may be challenged. But this does not mean that the new information is not true. Be prepared to reverse previously-held beliefs as new information comes to light. 

Similarly, this is a time of greater personal self-discovery. As the energy of spiritual Neptune erodes the barriers to your own personal self-awareness, use introspection and self-analysis as powerful healing tools. Spiritual practices such as meditation and yoga also will support you. Prayer and positive affirmations are powerful practices as well. 

This is a time of reversals and surprises. In fact, when something appears to be stable and "unsurprising," this may be where the greatest revelations and surprises may be discovered. We are deeply into a time of reversing old paradigms to open our hearts and minds to a new-and higher-reality.

The prominent influence of mystical Neptune at the Summer Solstice will heighten your intuition and your ability to innately sense where and how to take your next step. You will notice more people relying upon their gut reactions, instincts, and general sense impressions to plot a course through uncharted territory. Where logic may fail, your own inner compass will be your greatest resource in navigating the coming times.
 

Feel free to get in touch if I can help you navigate your personal discovery process! Laurie@LaurieBaum.com or 760-753-7676
 

Many blessings for love & light in the Summer Season,

ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
When energetic Mars, your planetary ruler, conjoins innovative Uranus on July 15, 2024, you will feel inspired to experiment with something new and exciting. Since your new venture could challenge the limits of your budget, take a deep breath and wait for a few days before making a final decision. There may be subtle angles you have not yet considered. Once you have thought through your upcoming decision, enter into your new activities with confidence as you take your initial steps into a new future. An alignment of fortunate Jupiter with disciplined Saturn on August 19, 2024, could mean one step forward and one step back-or even two steps back. Make sure to review details of new situations during this period. Your tendency at this time will be to assume the best without checking that the i's are dotted and the t's crossed. New ideas are on the horizon, but more preparation may be needed later in the summer. This is a good season to practice patience-all will fall into place in the end as a result of your forethought and diligence. Mercury retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will help you to further refine details and rectify the past. Home and family are also good outlets for your substantial energy during the summer season.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Energetic Mars in Taurus from June 9 to July 20, 2024, is opening the way for you to implement creative changes in your life.

A series of eclipses in mid-September and early October will inspire even greater creativity in ongoing projects. This is a highly innovative and creative period for you!

GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)
The Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024, ushers in an exuberant 52-day period after your birthday when you will meet with positive circumstances and more easily manifest your new ideas.

Be prepared to scale back to realistic proportions if necessary. What is well-earned and well-deserved will come your way! A Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 18, 2024, will help you dispel an illusion so you may implement your plans more efficiently-and effectively.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22) 
The Full Moon in Capricorn on the Summer Solstice forms a powerful alignment with spiritual Neptune, and this will put you on track for a spiritually uplifting Summer season! In contrast, efforts to create material prosperity may not materialize as easily as your efforts to foster spiritual progress during the Summer months. Use the summer season to concentrate on your interior life. Catch up on reading, correspondence, spiritual practice, and getting your home in order for a more active autumn season. The fruits of your efforts will be more palpable then. Your energy directed toward prayer, meditation, and positive affirmations will produce the most positive results for you in the summer season. If you have pressing material goals, you will experience the greatest fulfillment when you mix your spiritual practice with your realistic plans. A balanced blend of materiality and spirituality will be the recipe for success in the summer season. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will help you refine plans initiated during the past year. An alignment of fortunate Jupiter in Gemini with structured Saturn in Pisces on August 19, 2024, will help you re-arrange material objects in your home in a way that reflects the current evolution of your consciousness. A Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 18, 2024, will help you make a needed change in your daily routine. This will help your life function more efficiently. An Annular Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2, 2024, will help you make a further adjustment to a domestic routine so your home life will best support your needs.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
The peak of sunlight at the Summer Solstice will inspire you to radiate your natural creativity and generosity even more strongly into the world. The Summer season will be an auspicious time for your spiritual practice-including meditation, prayer, and contemplation-due to the spiritual influence of Neptune. These activities will center you and set the stage for an energizing and innovative  Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on July 15, 2024. This celestial alignment could potentially derail established plans, so make sure to have back-up arrangements in mid-July when  important activities are involved. Communicative Mercury in Leo from July 2 to July 25, and August 15 to September 9, 2024, will strengthen your ability to make your influence felt. Venus in Leo from July 11 to August 4, 2024, will further enhance your magnetism and charm. Your upcoming birthday between July 22 and August 22, 2024, will  provide a fresh start to help you introduce your creative new ideas to others. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will help you refine your vision. An alignment of beneficial Jupiter with karmic Saturn on August 19, 2024, will help you put the finishing touches on your goals and directions for your new birthday year!

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
The Full Moon at the Summer Solstice aligned with spiritual Neptune will inspire you to help others in new and inventive ways. Giving service to others adds greater meaning to your life and helps you experience your personal value. You are naturally self-effacing and even though you may feel as if no one is noticing, others are quietly observing your contributions. This is inspiring them to contribute to others as well. It will be particularly important to set a good example under the refining energy of fortunate Jupiter in Gemini squaring disciplined Saturn in Pisces on August 19, 2024. Introspect, be honest with yourself, and exercise self-discipline to create any needed improvements in your surroundings or in yourself under this celestial alignment. The pay-off will be great for any improvements you make!  Use the energy of Mercury Retrograde in Virgo and Leo from August 5 to 28, 2024, to make further refinements to plans or projects you have in mind. Use the energy of communicative Mercury, your planetary ruler, in Virgo from July 25 to August 15, and again from September 9 to 26, 2024, to organize your life and put your positive ideas into action. Loving Venus in Virgo from August 5 to 29, 2024, will help you attract loving, supportive people to yourself. The Sun in Virgo from August 22 to September 22, 2024, will further support your forward progress. This will be your time to shine! Finally, a partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 18, 2024, will help you let go of what is no longer working so you may more swiftly move ahead on your path.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 23)
Your buried feelings from the past will make their way into your awareness under the potent energies of the Full Moon squaring Neptune at the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024. These revelations may temporarily continue under the unrestrained  energy of energetic Mars conjunct innovative Uranus on July 15, 2024. This is a time for revelations about your feelings that will help you to release pent-up tension so you may fully embrace your true path. Your new direction will become clearer under the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2, 2024. In the meantime, pay attention to what you are learning about yourself and others as new revelations come to you. Rather than sweeping new realizations under the rug to preserve perceived "harmony," gently confront emotional disturbances realistically so that you can prepare for and create a more harmonious future. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will give you an opportunity to rectify any misunderstandings from the past. An alignment of fortunate Jupiter in Gemini with structured Saturn in Pisces on August 19, 2024, will help you create a new framework for healing and change in your life.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 21)
The Summer Solstice Full Moon squaring watery Neptune on June 20, 2024, will help you explore the depths of your feelings so you may release emotional blocks that have prevented you from experiencing the peace and harmony you are seeking. A conjunction of energetic Mars with turbulent Uranus in your opposing sign of Taurus on July 15, 2024, may make you temporarily feel as if you are on a roller coaster in a significant relationship. But all will smooth out and return to a manageable homeostasis after fortunate Jupiter and disciplined Saturn align on August 19, 2024. This will be a time when your profound perceptions lead to positive solutions-when you will be invited by others to share your profound awareness. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will give you an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and recover old memories that will shed light on a persistent conundrum. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 18, 2024, will help you further penetrate to the core of an ongoing mystery. An issue that has not been clear will be clarified.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Your planetary ruler, lucky Jupiter, in your opposite sign of Gemini from May 25, 2024 to June 9, 2025, will bring a plethora of new and interesting people into your life. These individuals will bring you many new perceptions and insights. When Jupiter aligns with serious Saturn on August 19, 2024, you will be better able to separate fact from fiction. Until then, hold slightly at arm's length the new information that is pouring into your awareness. This distance will help you maintain your objectivity and more accurately evaluate the truth and relevance of the new information. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will help you review facts you have collected. Discerning the truth is of utmost importance to you! A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 18, 2024, will challenge a previous perception and lead you to a new conclusion-possibly one that is opposite from the position you previously assumed. A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2, 2024, will help you balance all sides of an equation and come to a balanced conclusion that incorporates all sides of the story. Many others will support you when you come to this integrated point of view.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
The Full Moon in Capricorn at the Summer Solstice aligning with spiritual Neptune will dissolve a fixed pattern in your life. Believe it or not, you will be receptive to making a dramatic change! The new perceptions you receive at this peak of sunlight (opposite the Winter Solstice when you were born) will help illuminate your personal path during the second half of your birthday year. It is time to experiment with new approaches. The Summer Solstice represents a culmination of efforts you have expended in the first half of the year. You are now ready to bring to completion the projects you have initiated since your birthday this past winter. This is a time of harvesting seeds you have planted in the past. Survey your life and see where you can reap the rewards of your past hard work and savor the fruits of your efforts. Even though a conjunction of energetic Mars with change-oriented Uranus on July 15, 2024, will potentially disrupt a previous plan, an alignment of fortunate Jupiter with your planetary ruler, disciplined Saturn, on August 19, 2024, will help you re-establish  the structure that you seek. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will slow down the brisk pace of events swirling around you. This will enable you to catch up with past commitments. Comfort comes through a sibling or neighbor who understands how you feel. Express gratitude for the understanding you receive!

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Energetic Mars in Taurus conjoins your planetary ruler, innovative Uranus, on July 15, 2024, creating an opportunity for truly dynamic transformation and change in your life! Contemplate what you would like to create and take steps to manifest your vision. You also are poised to be a bridge in consciousness between ideological polarities under the influence of the Summer Solstice Full Moon. Your ability to bridge opposing points of view will continue throughout the year. You have a sense of how to integrate the old with the new. You can see what is viable from the past and what is feasible in the future. You can see a clear path to integrating the two. You have the ability to blend both tradition and innovation. Your position will be at the fulcrum of our changing world-blending traditional concerns of humanity with rapidly evolving technology. An alignment of idealistic Jupiter in Gemini with structured Saturn in Pisces on August 19, 2024, will help you help you concretize your forward-thinking ideas. Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, will give you a chance to re-think your plans for progress and further blend opposing viewpoints. You will begin to see material progress by the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 28, 2024. You will feel most comfortable with peace and harmony--and the big picture-in the forefront of your mind. 

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
The Full Moon in Capricorn aligned with spiritual Neptune in Pisces at the Summer Solstice will set the stage for both your clarity and your confusion. Clarity will come if you transcend mundane reality and look at situations from a higher, spiritual perspective, from the perspective of your higher self. Unfortunately, confusion may beset you if you try to analyze the events around you from a mundane earthly perspective. This is not a time for logic or depending upon reliable patterns from the past. Rather, this is a time of experimentation and discovery. Despite the watery, slippery nature of the times we are in, you are best equipped of all 12 signs of the zodiac to swim with the currents to find a comfortable rhythm in the flow. A conjunction of energetic Mars and change-oriented Uranus in Taurus on July 15, 2024, will test your mettle as unexpected events may cause you to change course. However, an alignment of fortunate Jupiter with disciplined Saturn in Pisces on August 19, 2024, will help you to restore order and balance in your world. This is  a good time to prepare your foundations for positive outcomes. A Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 18, 2024, will help you assert your logic in a potentially illogical situation. The more practical you are, the more sensible and stable will be the results. Use the energy of Mercury Retrograde from August 5 to 28, 2024, to determine who are your allies. They will be helpful in providing support for your future plans.
