The June summer solstice is an astronomical event that marks the first official day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and it is also the day that the sun reaches its most Northern point in the sky.
The word solstice generates from the Latin word solstitium from sol (sun) and stitium (to stand still), as it appears as though the sun stops at the solstice. As the days get longer the sun rises until it seems as though it stops high up in the sky at the same point; the sun seems as though it remains in this position all day during the solstice period.
For those that live in the Northern Hemisphere the June solstice is the longest day of the year, whereby, the Southern Hemisphere will be marking the beginning of winter.
On this day brilliant rays of light will be shining from the Sun, the most supercharged celestial body in our sky, for the longest period, due to it being the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
This powerful solar energy is impacting anyone who is energy sensitive to energy quite hard. Many people are currently reporting feeling a little unstable or they are experiencing huge shifts in their awareness, and are also struggling to find clarity on many of their personal situations.
However, once this energy wave passes, our energy fields will settle down, allowing us to reflect on everything that has taken place over the past few weeks. We will then feel empowered to make rational and vital life-changing decisions.
The sun is believed to be the most powerful, inspirational, motivational and influential cosmic body in relation to spiritual life, and can dramatically alter how we perceive and process our reality. It is situated at the centre of our solar system and gravitationally forces all planets (including Earth), stars, asteroids, and comets to orbit around it. The sun is one of the main reasons life exists, and it energetically charges all living and nonliving entities.
Humans are powered by the sun and gifted with conscious awareness and free will, therefore, every person on this planet has the ability to shift their thought process to enable them to perceive themselves at the centre of all existence, thus holding magnificent manifestation and creative powers.
When we fully understand how light codes from the sun infiltrate our bodies with ancient wisdom and knowledge and allow the opportunity for alignment with higher realms, we will begin to take advantage of our divine ability to create a life true to our soul calling.
To be able to manifest at the highest level, we must first balance our electromagnetic frequency; meaning, our heart, soul and mind all need to be harmoniously tuned and resonating with the same desires. Ultimately, we cannot hope to manifest something if our mind is in opposition to our heart, soul or vice versa, as we will be emitting confusing and contradictory vibrations.
This is a life-altering and transformative period, and is known to be beneficial, as plans we have been trying to manifest for some time suddenly, quickly and effortlessly become a reality.
This solstice brings with it an intense vibrational energy wave, and is also the closure of the previous vibrational wave, which began on the winter solstice, December 21st. This brings to an end many events and challenges we have been going through, particularly ones which we’ve now finally learned lessons from and are ready to leave behind.
This day can be seen as a transitional rebirthing, or a “reset stage” where we release our hold on the old and open and prepare ourselves for the next six months ahead, leading to the winter solstice.
The surge of light waves emanating from the Sun carry an influx of divine wisdom and advanced knowledge (known as ascension light codes) that stream toward our planet, and when integrated through our energy field, are said to awaken our consciousness, and activate our DNA.
The solstice is an open portal that allows highly vibrating energy from the universe to flow in and directly impact energetic particles on Earth, including all living beings, which is known to help accelerate our personal and spiritual evolution.
This gifts us the opportunity to experience a full, conscious awakening through renewed energy, infinite possibilities, higher wisdom, optimum growth, and increased and deeper levels of love and wisdom. The solstice is a tremendous opportunity to align with the universe’s energy and fully absorb and integrate the vibrational qualities it delivers.
The vital life-force energy propelled toward our planet on the solstice, and during other intense energy periods, such as full and new moons, solar storms, and planetary retrogrades, is not only absorbed by living creatures but by all of nature. Mountains, forests, and the oceans all receive a boost of immensely positive energy that is stored and emanated throughout our environment.
This is one of the reasons we find such peace, harmony, and natural highs when we are near hilltops, woodlands, or water.
The solstice is the optimum time to head out to nature to set intentions and give gratitude for the energy of Mother Earth, the moon, and the sun. It is also the perfect opportunity to balance and harmonise simply by understanding, loving, accepting, and embracing our entire selves, and to have absolute faith that we are limitless, miraculous beings of light, wide-open to the possibility of reaching our fullest and highest potential.
On Earth, we have always been susceptible to highly charged energy from the sun; however, the effects are magnified once our awareness to it is heightened and we attune our energy to the incoming solar frequencies.
During galactic disturbances, many people notice physical symptoms occurring, which may be in the form of body aches and pains, headaches, throat issues, flu-like symptoms, ears ringing, dizziness, and generally feeling as though the body, mind, and spirit are out of sync. Some non-physical signs are vivid and realistic dreams and nightmares, regular synchronicities, déjà vu, and disturbed sleep patterns.
We might also experience unexplained anxiety, moodiness, emotional highs and lows, irrational fear, and time appearing to go too slow or too fast. This can be alarming at first, but it is simply due to the speed at which we are ascending, leaving us feeling unaligned as our physical and spiritual bodies take time to readjust.
We may also go through intense energy shifts when we experience a traumatic break up, grief due to the loss of someone close to us, a natural disaster, or any tragic and devastating event.
When we go through major energy shifts, our energy vibrates faster and we move up what are known as “dimensions.”
When we ascend from the third dimension, where the ego is in control, and move toward the fourth or fifth dimension, where we operate from the heart center, we may feel guilt and sorrow that we are shifting toward a new and more blissful state of being, while millions of others appear to be left behind, without the tools, knowledge, or basic survival needs to have a decent quality of life.
As we break away from old patterns of behaviour, we may find that many long-standing friendships and relationships fall apart. When we go through an energy shift, our vibration heightens, so we spin on a different frequency to those who are not open to ascension. This means we may no longer share the same values or resonate with those we were once close to.
We are accelerating at such great speed that we will no longer be able to remain in hurtful spaces; whether that is dysfunctional friendships or relationships, workplaces, home environments, or the social circles we have tried to maintain and keep up with. We will be determined to rearrange our lives so we can leave behind aspects that cause inner turmoil, and we will manifest an existence that is peaceful, healthy, and intensely fulfilling.
We are also passing through a stream of high-speed solar wind that is flowing from a coronal hole on the sun. This gaseous wind is travelling at speeds close to 500 km per second, and will be causing a geomagnetic disturbance.
Our universe is knowledgeable and powerful and operates in the most mysterious and mystical ways. It moves energies around constantly in order to create balance and harmony, so we must not put up resistance to the opportunities presented to us, and instead, flow in the direction that feels right.
Neptune also turns retrograde on the same day as the solstice, and this planet is an enchanted, otherworldly body, associated with magic, mystery, and miracles.
This retrograde may feel particularly turbulent for those who live with a wide-open, compassionate heart, who forgive and forget instantly. It may pull up past hurt and betrayal where we were naïve and far too trusting—it’s important to remember that not everyone has pure intentions. This planet draws out the areas that need healing from when we were vulnerable to people who deliberately caused us harm and ultimately benefits our highest good as lessons will be learned and we will emerge stronger, more empowered and with people around us who reflect our heart space and capacity to love.
With Neptune in retrograde, conflict may occur in intimate relationships, as those with empathetic hearts will notice where their sensitive nature is being taken advantage of, and may start to mistrust those who are only around for self-gain. This period, many will notice that they withdraw into themselves at regular intervals, to balance and recharge their energy, and mostly so that they have time for introspection so they can see why certain people have attached themselves.
Neptune is master of illusions, and when it is direct, it places masks over everything so we have to work hard and use our intuition to see with clarity. Then, when it is retrograde, if we haven’t sharpened up, it tears away the illusions and falsities to jolt our awareness, so we will likely see the true intentions behind those who don’t hold our best interests.
This planet nudges those who are not living true to their heart. This is so that they come back down to Earth before they lose themselves in inauthentic relationships, or become too detached from reality.
We are also being hit by masses of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR), which travel at high speed and hold tremendous energy. This nuclei bombards and penetrates Earth’s magnetic field, especially during the solar minimum phase of the solar cycle, which we are experiencing now. These supercharged particles consist of every element and are fully ionised, so they interact with, and influence, magnetic fields—our own, and the one surrounding our planet.
Although we are somewhat protected by Earth’s magnetic field, the intense, highly charged energy is still believed to have a major effect on everything that exists on Earth. Solar energy can greatly impact anything from emotions to electrical devices.
Some of the most common signs and symptoms that we are experiencing energy shifts/ascension:
Searching for deeper meaning and purpose
Feeling unconditional love and compassion toward all living beings
Spending more time alone
Temporary or total loss of some memories
Feeling disconnected to the way society functions, while also recognising that there is an unbreakable connection through energy
Increased sensitivity and enhanced intuition
Knowing things without knowing how or why, and trusting that inner knowing
Visions, premonitions, and the ability to predict future events, or knowing instantly when there is great unrest, whether with a loved one, or somewhere in the world
Downloads of wisdom and insight
Noticing repeated number sequences
Walking away from drama, negativity, and conflict
Reoccurring and realistic dreams, lucid dreams, and the ability to astral travel
Understanding that thoughts create our reality, and the ability to manifest
Faith in our unique journey, understanding our reason for existence, and unwavering trust in the universe
Change in diet with the desire to eat clean, fresh, high vibrational foods, and to refrain from consuming processed products
Feeling nausea, dizziness, spaced out, and noticing ringing in the ears
Hearing certain sounds that others can’t hear, such as voices, music, buzzing, or banging
Disrupted sleep, and waking at the same time every night, usually between 2:00 to 4:00 a.m.
Periods of extreme fatigue and exhaustion
Pressure at the crown chakra and tension headaches
Sudden waves of extreme heat or cold flushing through the body
Losing things, forgetfulness, memory loss
An increased love and appreciation for nature and animals
Feeling a profound connection to all living beings, even through long distance
No longer needing to force anything, allowing what flows to flow freely and letting what doesn’t flow fall away
A desire to purge, detox, and declutter
Loving and giving without expecting anything in return
Noticing patterns of behaviour and altering how we react and respond
Becoming aware that old wounds are healing
Only having a few close friends, as the desire to connect meaningfully or not at all grows stronger
The desire to find our soul purpose and to serve by helping create a healthier, more compassionate world for all living beings to harmoniously co-exist in.
Connecting with those known as a “soul group” or “soul family.” (These people are kindred beings who share similar languages, experiences, and ways of perceiving the world. When we meet one of these people there is a feeling as though we have known them before, maybe from a past lifetime.)
Energy shifts can feel volatile, and during this period, our minds and bodies can feel like they have temporarily “shut down.”
However, when we slow down, we are in a far better position to receive energetic downloads and DNA activations that help our vibration shift to a higher dimension. This is similar to the “ascension flu” that occurs when someone is going through an intense awakening period and their body is transcending from a physical to a “light body.”
During intensive energy shifts, it is highly recommended to regularly cleanse our energy field at the beginning and end of each day by meditating, taking salt water baths, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, reducing the amount of time spent on technology, staying away from environments that feel toxic and draining, and when possible, spending time alone.
