Happy summer solstice 2015 – and, if you’re in the northern hemisphere, Happy winter solstice!… The longest (and for those up north, the shortest) day of the year, as the Sun enters Capricorn. What a unique time, which is why this time of year has been celebrated for thousands of years. It is a time when the sun’s arc seems neither to grow nor to diminish for three days.
As the Sun enters Capricorn, it’s a wonderful time to enjoy being practical and down-to-earth, especially about the way you prepare for holidays and festivals, as celebrations seem to speed up activities, as you become busier, and undertake visits and trips.
Today, we’ll also see Mercury square (at a 90-degree angle to) Uranus build up, which could bring misunderstandings, travel delays and just plain-old mix-ups, so beware, especially Aries, Sagittarians and Capricorns. Aim to tune into the Venus-Chiron trine (120-degree angle), that will bring mellow, healing vibes your way, if you let it. Have a great day
