Summer Solstice: Focus Your Energy and Transform Yourself

On June 20, the Summer Solstice sees the Sun move into Cancer, making a tense, square aspect to the two major planets of change -- Pluto and Uranus. Opportunities abound now for transformation and rejuvenation. Every sign will be called on to be flexible and go with the flow, but each in its own way. Where will you need to focus your energy and attention? Happy Summer!

Aries
You may have to deal with a power struggle (or two), especially related to home and family. Try to keep your fighting spirit alive, but be sensitive to others’ feelings.

Taurus
Communications could be tricky now, so make the most of your innate patience, take things slow and remember: “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar”.

Gemini
Your finances may need some time and attention, but don’t let this get you down. You are more than your money and if you can re-connect with your values during this time, you’ll reap the rewards that are available.

Cancer
The spotlight is on you and though you may feel like hiding in your favorite cave, you’ll need to deal with a few demands first. Try to put your best foot forward and confront your fears rather than retreating.

Leo
Though you prefer to let your light shine, you’d do better to use the solstice as an opportunity to retreat and rejuvenate. Let yourself be a dreamer and drifter rather than a social butterfly.

Virgo
Friends and community may feel especially demanding now, but if you can balance their needs with your own, you’ll come out ahead.

Libra
Your reputation is on your mind, so try and get clear on what message you’re giving about who you are and what you do. Once you know what image you want to project, your work will be far more effective.

Scorpio
If you feel like you’re struggling with your beliefs and trying to make meaning of life, take comfort in knowing that the more you wrestle with these issues now, the more clarity you will eventually discover.

Sagittarius
The solstice has you navigating deep waters, and emotions you may prefer to bury come to the surface. The more you confront your fears now, the more room you’ll have for new opportunities.

Capricorn
Relationships with partners (romantic and otherwise) are on your mind. Though it may not be easy to relate to others now, it’s time to heal old relationship patterns that keep you trapped and frustrated.

Aquarius
Your health and workout routines are due for an upgrade. Put some energy into making changes and you’ll soon see rewards – and your body will thank you!

Pisces
The solstice urges you to focus on romance, children and creativity. You’ll benefit from immersing yourself in these realms and making them your top priority now.
