Midsummer, Summer Solstice, and a Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon)

Midsummer, Summer Solstice, and a Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon).  The Moon enters Capricorn and the Sun, Cancer.  What a beautiful, glorious and powerful day we are experiencing.  The longest day of the year, the middle of the summer for a few, the start of summer for some, some early harvests, and a Full Moon to work under and perform a little Magick!

For a few as I said previously, this is the middle of summer.  This does make sense if you think about it, that this is Midsummer for the days will now grow ever shorter until the Winter Solstice where we'll experience the longest night of the year and realistically speaking celebrate the middle of winter, Midwinter, I suppose.

For my partner and I we estimate the beginning of summer should start somewhere in early May, perhaps, the 5th or 6th of the month.  As this is the midway point between Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice.

It's a wonderfully sunny day here in New Westminster, the eight o'clock hour is mere minutes old and the sun is still shining.  Here in the condo the African Violet is in full bloom, and Peace Lily is standing tall and proud, leaves stretching mightily toward the sky.  Or in this case the big, bright southwest facing window.

Time to sit back and relax with my books, my stones and crystals, Tarot Cards, and enjoy Spirit's energy.

Namaste!
