Summer Solstice Salutations

Summer Solstice Vibe

Hello. It is 18:28 on the eve of the Summer Solstice, and I went live on my website just five minutes ago. Today I am on the 4 of Cups in my tarot journey. This is the card that represents depression in the tarot. Eleven years ago today, the calendar aligned exactly as it does now in 2026. Back then, I was dreaming of pressing "live," but only my will was ready. Today, I am finally acting on that dream. I have to work hard to show myself compassion, but the natural occurrence of this calendar loop has made it so easy for me.

At 38, I had just been made homeless and was in the depths of depression. Recently, a lack of patience led me to question my faith—the very thing I have always relied on to get me through. Yet, I see now that everything went wrong for the right reason. Looking at this loop, I can truly say I am happy in my skin and at peace with where I am right now. This personal milestone feels perfectly aligned with the season's energy.

Rituals and Intentions

Bonfires are a traditional ritual for Litha, representing the power of the sun and the warmth it provides. You might also celebrate by gathering herbs, which are at their peak potency during this time. Other rituals include sun-worshipping practices, such as meditating or spending time outdoors to connect with the sun’s energy. These practices focus on abundance, personal power, and protection.

Healing activities are also powerful during the Summer Solstice, as the sun’s energy supports physical and spiritual growth. Use Litha’s energy to strengthen your goals and intentions for the coming months. It is a perfect time to set new goals for abundance in all areas of your life. Spend time outdoors, basking in the sun’s energy, and reflect on how you can bring more light and vitality into your personal and spiritual practices. Embrace the joy and fullness of this season.
