Summer Solstice, Sun Gods and Father’s Day
Sunday is Summer Solstice (in the northern hemisphere/Winter Solstice in the southern hemisphere) and Father’s Day. We celebrate all fathers (some mothers who are also fathers) on this longest day of light for the year. We celebrate the masculine (radiating outward) aspects within all of us. We celebrate the “fathering” of newborns, and all men (fathers) who have, in ways great and small, impacted our lives.
At summer solstice the Sun in Cancer rests quietly for three days at the Tropic of Cancer before turning southward again. Since Winter Solstice the light each day grew stronger. When Summer Solstice begins, inaugurating the three months of summer, paradoxically there is less and less light each day.
Summer Solstice is also called Litha – Celtic for the month of June. Uriel, the summer Archangel, living and teaching in fields and meadows, protects the Earth.
The Sun’s golden power is celebrated at solstice. In early times there were bonfires at midnight reflecting the solstice as the longest day of light for the year. The crops are growing, the earth is warm and the animal kingdom (humanity is both animal & spirit) spends many hours in nature under the long day’s warming Sun. Summer is the exact opposite of the cold darkness of Yule.
Ancient people celebrated the Sun god at summer solstice. Their names (representing the disk, rays & power of the Sun): Amaterasu (Shinto); Ra & Aten (Egypt); Apollo (Greek); Lugh (like Mercury, Celtic). The feminine (heart) aspect of the Sun was revered through Hestia or Vesta (flames, Greek); Juno (Roman, June is named for her); Minerva (Celtic, goddess of Wisdom); Sunna (Norse, goddess of the Sun).
The solstice, Sunday, unfolds under a Sun/Saturn transit (Saturn is Father Time). We may feel very serious, aware of the passing of time. Monday Jupiter trines Uranus in the early morning. We harmoniously expand into the new world. The forerunners (New Group of World Servers) “imagine” this new world first. Then everyone “sees” it. Imagine that!
