According to Sandy

Yes, the “livin’ is easy” as we enjoy the Summer Solstice, Wednesday June 20, 2012. Besides being the longest day of the year, in the Northern Hemisphere, it also means the Sun has moved into the sign of Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac. This Water sign is emotional, sensitive, concerned with family, a powerful nurturer.  And, if they love you, they will feed you. We will all be under this sign’s caring influences for the next 4 weeks. Nice.

I think Cancers make good actors – all that deep, vibrating emotion and sensitivity can be released by playing out their secret selves on stage. However, feel what you feel, pay attention to your instincts, but, if you feel a little blue, don’t overeat while trying to make things better. The mood will change soon enough. As Moon and Cancer energy reigns, take advantage of all that “homey” energy, enjoy the love.

Summer Solstice June 20, 2012 – 1^st degree of Cancer, 7:09PM Eastern/ 4:09PM Pacific: a time for beach chairs, flip flops and lemonade – keep cool.

Our Summer Solstice, Tuesday June 21, 2011, coincides with the Sun’s swim into the Water sign of Cancer.  This Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac will nurture us thru the longest day of the year. Cancers can be emotional, moody, restless and sensitive, but– they will always take care. Family, real or created, is the primary focus. (Crustacean shell with marshmallow interior.) Just be careful about going overboard with comfort eating and/or needing to be needed. Know what is best for you – with both food and people.

Those of us with  a different Sun sign, can still take advantage of the reigning Lunar Cancer influences by paying attention to instincts or any feelings that can’t be put into words. Don’t let the antennas wilt with the heat. Heightened awareness can provide useful information. And, of course enjoy the homey, comfy company of family and friends. Loving them and feeding them ice cream is all part of the program. Fun stuff!

Summer Solstice, in the Northern Hemisphere, 1st degrees of Cancer, 1:17PM Eastern/ 10:17AM Pacific, heralds a time of beach chairs, espadrilles and lemonade (or just sweating in the city). The year is half over – what are you going to do with what’s left?
