Seismic Solstice Shifting 💫
As we reach this cosmic turning point, we turn inwards and look into our own lives around what is calling for us to shift directions to realign with our soul.
Happy summer solstice!
I wanted to pop in today with a little love note as we open ourselves up to receive the abundance of cosmic downloads from this auspicious celestial event.
The summer solstice is known for being the longest day of the year or the lightest day of the year, and when we tap into the spiritual meaning of the summer solstice and this abundance of light that comes in, with light is also truth. Light illuminates, light shows us things, it goes into any of the dark crevices that we’ve been neglecting and puts our nose in the areas we need to attend to.
So while this is a beautiful, abundant, celebratory time— it can also be a very confronting energy.
Which is why I wanted to just send this little cosmic love note out to you all today because I think sometimes there’s this thought that things should feel lighter and easier and more celebratory right now. But if for whatever reason that’s not how you’re feeling today or this weekend in this energy of the solstice — I wanted to talk about why that might be and how we can really utilize what’s coming up for our highest good.
This morning I went to a sound bath meditation and the gentleman who was leading it used different language around the solstice then I commonly hear. We talk a lot about the solstice being this turning point of the year, being this you know ripe time to receive all these cosmic downloads and really tune into the abundance of life and the abundance that we’re calling in in the next six months.
However he discussed the energy of shifting direction and it set off like an explosion of thoughts, ideas and visuals in my mind that I have never really connected to the solstice before.
This thought that up until this point, the days have been getting longer and longer and longer and longer. There was an energy, a momentum, a movement in one direction. And then this day comes, this longest day of all, but also a shift in direction because after the solstice the days are getting shorter. And so it is also a time of directional shift in our life because we are connected to the stars. We are connected to the cosmos, as above so below, and so many of us too may be feeling this shift in direction.
It can feel really disoriented, confronting, or overwhelming to shift directions.
Imagine being in a small canoe or a boat paddling down a river and you’ve been gaining your momentum paddling down the river, paddling down the river, and then all of a sudden it’s time to shift direction. Maybe you get stuck on a rock or the river kind of turns in a way and you stopped that momentum. You take that moment to recalibrate to reassess.
That’s what the solstice is for us. It’s that moment to be still before we shift direction.
So today and this weekend as your meditating on the intuitive downloads that you’re receiving from the solstice, contemplate where in my life am I being asked to change direction?
Where am I being shown through the illumination that’s happening to me during this time, what’s no longer working for me?
Or have I been paddling and paddling in one direction and not really getting where I want to go or maybe just realizing that the place that we were heading isn’t aligned with us anymore.
We’re moving into this cancer new moon on the 25th which is calling us to plant new seeds and start a new beginning in the direction of something that is nourishing us, is filling us up, and is making us feel good. And so as this solstice is illuminating what’s not working, it’s also guiding us to what’s next.
Plus, with this solar energy, the sun has very masculine energy, it’s action oriented energy. It’s calling us to forward momentum and is not just saying think about it and decide what the next direction is, it’s calling us to pick up that paddle and start moving in that soul nourishing direction that we’re feeling called to go.
This is not easy work. It is so normal for it to feel really intimidating when you’ve had so much momentum going in one direction to stop and pause. And even if you know with such divine clarity, the new aligned direction to go, just the amount of energy we need to steer the canoe in the new direction can be daunting. Which is why I wanted to send this today because I know sometimes when we kind of like surface level engage with a lot of these beautiful cosmic events we can easily wonder why we are not feeling all this joy and expansion that we might be expecting. But the truth is that sometimes the biggest blessings in our life and the greatest shifts in our life are in these tough moments of changing course.
So if that’s been coming up for you right now in this energy, I have three invitations for you.
The first one, is simply to put one foot in front of the other. Whether you have long-term clarity about the direction that you need to be shifting or simply have ideas of new directions and new paths to try, I encourage you to not get blocked by the details. Deeper clarity and momentum in the direction of your highest alignment will come from action and yes, even imperfect actions will help steer you on the right path.
My second invitation for you is to join us next week for a very special, new moon in cancer gathering. Every month around the new moon I do a powerful manifesting meditation and intention setting gathering for my students in divinely design your life: the process, and because I believe that this new moon is one of the best, most positive new moons of this year, I’m opening up our gathering to the public. So for a very small fee, you can join us live on zoom or receive the recording to do at your leisure and together. I’ll break down the astrological energy at play right now and guide you through a meditation for greater clarity, not only on this new direction, but the manifestations that you are being called to set into motion that truly nourish your soul and make your life feel so good. Grab your spot here for the virtual event.
And last but not least, I shared with some of my students this week that I have a very special summer offering that has been inspired by this very unique cosmic energy we’re all navigating right now. It’s called the Sacred Structure Sessions and it’s 4 intensive coaching sessions over the span of eight weeks that are designed to help you create a unique daily and weekly structure that nourishes your mind, body, and soul while propelling you towards your dreams and desires. I’ll be helping you uniquely design the structure based on your astrology and your human design, the season of life you’re in right now, your unique obligations and the goals you’re ready to start manifesting.
