The Summer Solstice, the time the sun enters the tropical sign Cancer, this year is Wednesday at 4:10p PT | 7:10p ET | 11:10p UT.

These happen to be the early days of a New Moon so things are somewhat slow coming together. But renewed energy and hope is with us.

Tuesday is somewhat contentious, with a need to be calm and centered.

Venus quincunx Pluto and tri-octile (sesqui-square) Saturn, this period and last, makes for emotional tension, uncertainty in love and, with Venus squaring Neptune, a mystical release from the tension, an other-worldly vision or hope which helps you face the bare sordid facts of human unlovingness or the inability of some to be kind and loving simply because of things they are facing in their lives. I just re-read that sentence and think it is accurate even if complex so I hope you will re-read and ponder it.

This is also the weekly period of the moon's hard aspect (square this time) with Saturn so there is much worry or internal upset, unless you are a totally self-controlled yogi or saint. We face our karma, which is not all bad, but the hard parts of it require us to be honest and realistic. For me and many this would be all but impossible without religious or spiritual faith, hope, and awareness. The prayers and affirmations which help you are going to be essential.

Mars moving toward a trine with Jupiter helps to keep things on a progressive trend no matter what your feelings about them. There is momentum in your thinking and activity, which the sextiles of Mercury with both these planets promote. It would be well not to give up on or neglect the skills you have, which you can keep on using no matter how your feelings may run.

If need be, family matters can be settled through consultation and communication. The past of family, or relatives, comes into the present as a living memory to be dealt with.

The void-of-course period on Thursday suggests that the Tuesday-Wednesday period is better for settling things, getting things done, arriving at decisions. Then on Thursday you could take a welcome break (see time above) even if there is still much to deal with, that is, decelerate, let the tempo be less hurried, struggle less and adapt more.

My own spiritual faith convinces me that the harshness of life is illusory, that all is well, that we can link ourselves with the Highest at any time and see that things will work out well no matter what the temporary trial. The saving and resolving Invisible does not have to be merely believed in; it can be experienced.
