This week, the Sun enters Cancer, ushering us across the threshold of the Summer Solstice. I talk about the rituals of our ancestors + the deeply animist ways of relating to Earth + Stars, that these thresholds specifically remind us of.

Venus + Mercury ALSO enter Cancer this week, bringing a welcome tone shift from all the Gemini energy we've been swirling in! Enter tenderness, vulnerability, and connection from the heart.

Within hours of the Summer Solstice beginning, we have a Full Moon in Capricorn holding down the Great Grandfather energy of this eternally matriarchal/grandmother season. Our two Great Grandparents of Creation, the Sun + Moon, in the respective signs of Cancer/Capricorn feels especially potent for remembering the ancestral web that is this world -- and our place in it all.

What does it mean to honor your life as a gift from those that came before? To both celebrate this privilege, and recognize the vulnerability of interdependence inherent within it?

We belong to the Sun, the Moon, the Mountains + Rivers. These are our Ancestors, as they have always been - for thousands of generations that came before us, and those that will follow.
