Flag Day & Father’s Day – Honoring Both
We are in our last week of Gemini, before the sign of Cancer summer (northern latitudes) begins. In this last week we have Flag Day and Father’s Day, two important days – one national and of the people, the other personal as well as cosmic, one mental, one heart felt.
Flag Day (dating back to 1870) in the United States is Friday, June 14th. Flags are artforms – Stars, Stripes, Circles, Crests, Lions and Kings. The U.S. flag has stars imprinted all over it (representing the star Sirius, where love, liberty and freedom originate). Sirius and the US Sun are the same degree – 13 degrees Cancer.
The study of flags is Vexillology. Flags reflect spirit, pride, visions and aspirations of the state, country, nation and the people the flag flies over. A flag represents a nations’ freedom and ideals, loyalty to a nation, a belief in liberty, justice and unity.
Flag Day prepares us for the U.S. birthday, July 4th. President Woodrow Wilson said about the U.S., “The flag which we honor and under which we serve is the emblem of our unity, power, thought, and our purpose as a nation. It has no character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choice is ours.”
The U.S. flag was created and adopted on June 14, 1777, one year after the Declaration of Independence (1776). Our U.S. flag is called “Old Glory” or the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Colors, emblems, shapes on a flag are deeply symbolic. Vigilance, perseverance, justice, prosperity, peace, revolution, determination, valor, freedom. Flags are the spirit of a people.
Honoring our Fathers – Fathers are pillars in the development of a child’s emotional well-being. Children look to their fathers to lay down and enforce rules, to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional. Fathers, central to the emotional well-being of their children, are to be both capable caretakers and loving disciplinarians. Through love of their children, father’s become heroes. Saturn, the planet, is the cosmic disciplinary Father. For both we are grateful.
Sun enters Cancer and summer begins Thursday, June 20th. Shakespeare’s wedding in the forest follows.
