Reflections on the Summer Solstice by Roy Neal
The Sun enters the sign of Cancer at 6:00 pm MDT on June 20, 2008. This event
is known as the Summer Solstice. A chart done for this event reveals the pattern of energies
that we will psychologically and emotionally be dealing with for the next three months.
The Rising Sign is in the 29th degree of Scorpio. This is considered a critical
degree because it is the last degree of the sign. Scorpio often symbolizes a process of
death and transformation. Dying to an old self-image or an old way of being is indicated.
We are closing out a chapter of being and getting ready to begin something new. The
process of letting go of our old way of manifesting emotional security and personal value
is at hand. This process is dynamically indicated by the planet Pluto in the 29th degree of
Sagittarius in the second house of money, value and possessions. Pluto is the ruler of the
chart so in this degree and position it can be perceived as the “Great Liberator.” It is
certain that our way of earning income and manifesting value is about to dramatically
change.
Sagittarius is also the sign of knowledge and education. We will need to acquire
new knowledge and understanding of how to interact with others in a way that enhances
our emotional and financial well-being.
Virgo is the sign at the top of the chart. Saturn is the most elevated planet in the
chart and is located in the ninth house in the sign of Virgo. One way of reading this is
that we are looking for work and new ways to do service. A positive aspect from Venus
to Saturn suggests that we benefit financially through the connection with others. The
opposition from the Sun conjunct Venus in the eighth house to Pluto in Sagittarius in the
second house indicates that we may need to let go of our personal agenda in favor of
someone else’s agenda in order to insure our economic well-being and personal security.
The question here is: How do we play someone else’s game in a way that ultimately
works best for us. Letting go of exclusive control will be necessary in order to co-create
an experience of mutual benefit and sustainable value.
We will need to prioritize our energy and efforts in order to achieve our goals and
objectives. Our mind will be challenged to solve problems but will not be able to come
up with easy solutions. Discussions will be inspirational and educational but frustrating
because of difficulties in understanding how to consciously resolve problems and
practically apply new ideas.
This is a trial and error period with no easy solutions. The desire to escape reality
by going on vacation and doing something fun will be strong. This could actually be a
good thing in moderation. The ability to get away and experience a change of scenery
can renew and recharge our emotional and physical vitality so that we are available for a
fresh approach and a new perspective.
Changes in our work situation and how we earn our income will be common.
Emotional instability and changes in home, family and living situations are particularly
strong in the month of July.
There is a Solar Eclipse on August 1 in the sign of Leo. This eclipse symbolizes a
new beginning of creative self-expression. The Lunar Eclipse will occur on August 16 in
the sign of Aquarius. This eclipse suggests an emotional need to “awaken” to a new
experience of relationship and a new expression of love.
Astrological Highlights Include:
As I gaze upon the waning full Moon near the planet Jupiter on the eve of the
Summer Solstice, I marvel at the beauty of the lighted sky and how the Moon moves
closer and closer to the light of the planet Jupiter. It is as if our emotions, which are
represented by the Moon are seeking an audience with Zeus, also known as Jupiter.
There is something we crave to learn and have knowledge of.
What new understanding will help us achieve our goals and objectives?
It is this conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter in the sign of Capricorn that informs us of a
new sense of purpose and meaning. A new goal is calling us; some “higher” purpose that
promises greater emotional fulfillment.
At the time of the Solstice the Moon has already conjoined Jupiter and is moving
towards a productive sixty degree angle to the Scorpio Ascendant and a harmonious trine
to the Taurus Descendant. This suggests that we will be able to connect with others in a
way that facilitates our own personal empowerment and financial security.
It is time to align with a “higher” authority (Saturn) so that a greater cause can be
served. We must take responsibility to learn, grow and continue to forge ahead. A
certain self-discipline will be necessary even though our conscious mind resists it.
Opportunities will come as a project that is funded and supported by a foundation
or trust. Yes, I am referring to other people’s money. We have but to relinquish our
desire to manage or exclusively control this venture and explore the concepts and benefits
of team effort, shared resources and mutual goals.
Making friends with Saturn will be a requirement during the period of the
Summer Solstice. Rewards will be available for those who observe the rules, get along
with the bankers and demonstrate the ability to manifest value on a daily basis. Our
survival depends upon support from others and our ability to negotiate with them for
mutual benefit.
Even though our consciousness will be illumined with innovative ideas and
perceptions we may find that not everyone in our environment will be able to relate or
accept these insights or ideas easily. For this reason, a certain amount of discretion and
discernment is necessary when it comes to sharing our knowledge, information and
insights with others. It may be important to play along with the “powers that be” or
appear like we are supporting the status quo. Conflicts of interest, values and ideology
are strongly indicated during the Summer season. A wise course of action will be to
think of ourselves as being undercover.
Astrological Highlights include a Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 1 and a Lunar
Eclipse in Aquarius on August 16.
