As we approach summer solstice, a day that holds extra energy, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan decodes what it means for each star sign
Lots of activities in the mind and all around us during this Gemini New Moon on June 18. As the Sun, Moon and Mercury are all in busy Gemini, we could feel extra-activated with the need to analyse and understand everything. Do not be surprised if the logical side of you feels a little stuck during this time, as under the influence of Neptune in Pisces, we are reminded that the mind can only take us so far, and that intuition is an equally important asset. Without the support of our higher intuition, communication could feel clouded during this time with deceptions arising between people.
On June 21, the Sun moves into Cancer which also marks the day of summer solstice. Many traditions and lineages honour the solstice as a day that holds extra energy, vitality and strength. We could harness this yang energy during the longest day of the year by spending more time in nature, starting our yoga practice with sun salutations, or even sunbathing while feeling the warmth on our skin. For the next month, Cancer season invites us to properly nurture ourselves as well as others—think good food, good company and a feeling of safety that comes from the bottom of your heart.
