Summer Solstice

Today is the Summer Solstice. The longest day of the year here in the Northern hemisphere. In other words, more daylight today than at any other time in the year. Daylight yes perhaps, but sunlight definitely not. Its been very grey and totally overcast all day so far. English summer and flaming June!
At times like these its always good to look inwards and see what lights up your heart and makes you smile. The sun whether you can see it or not has moved into the sign of Cancer which is very much about security and strong home roots. By looking inside we can rediscover our own personal roots and truths which give us a sense of security. Giving time to contemplation on this level reconnects us to our soul's message and purpose and helps us to feel a deep connection with life and this earth rather than the dog eat dog competition that often seems to pervade everything.
Cancer is a Cardinal sign which means it likes to initiate things. So dust off those plans, its time to step forward and make them happen. Use your inner peace and guidance to show you the way - it provides a brighter light upon your path than either daylight or sunlight!
