Weekly Astrology and Tarot forecast for June 18-24
Summer Solstice 2017 is the highlight of the week along with a new moon in Cancer! Mercury is conjunct the sun on the solstice bringing messages about our future possibilities. This week’s tarot reading focuses on how life is good for each of the zodiac signs.
What is Solstice?
During summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, the sun is directly overhead at noon at 23.5% N Latitude (the tropic of Cancer). In essence, the sun is at it’s highest position for the solar year and rises and sets the furthest North. After the sun stands still against the backdrop of the stars for 3 days, it will begin to not only rise later every day, but further south.
The sun does not retrograde, but it does stand still for 3 days on the summer and winter solstices, marking its turn back toward shorter and longer days, respectively.
