Solstice greetings! Yesterday, thousands of people at Stonehenge followed the ancient tradition of greeting the sunrise with dance, song and music. When the Sun appears to rise from the same point on the horizon for three days running, it marks a 'turning point'. And there's definitely potential for some 'wow' this week. With a New Moon adding extra oomph to the celestial energy, and Mercury (ideas) moving into creative Leo, the party atmosphere continues. Ready to have fun?!
Ever wondered why solstices feel like the universe is taking a quiet moment to reflect? It’s rather like a seasoned commuter waiting patiently exactly at the right spot on the platform before changing trains.The thing about solstices is they’re not trying to be mystical – they’re simple astronomical facts with astrological consequences. Twice yearly, our Sun reaches its absolute limit on the horizon, stops dead (hence “solstice” meaning “Sun stands still”), and then quietly reverses course. No drama, just cosmic efficiency.take full advantage of this very special time with a FREE Personal Profile Birth Chart, three Tarot and I Ching readings, and 50% off ALL CHARTS!
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: You’ve had enough life experience to know two undeniable truths. The first, is that no one has an easy life – even if things look OK on the outside, it’s impossible to know about the anxieties and fears hidden behind the veneer. The second, is that it’s impossible for life to be perfect; for every success there’s always a problem that needs dealing with. The trick is to focus on the big things and not be troubled by the small stuff. With that in mind, if you shoot for the stars this Solstice week, you’ll make gains you’ve only dreamed of.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: You might not be familiar with the word ‘terve’. It means to overturn; and it’s probably where the phrase ‘topsy-turvy’ comes from. Which is how you’ve been feeling. You’re struggling to relate to people who you need to collaborate with, whilst other folks, on the periphery, are showing themselves in a surprisingly helpful light. It’s confusing! This week, with Mercury, the planet of ideas, moving into passionate Leo, you’ll find that your change of mindset vis-à-vis someone you’ve been wary of leads to a very positive development.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: Looking through old photos is an emotional experience. When we look at a picture, it’s easy to see the changes that have taken place. It’s not always easy to reconcile past hopes and dreams with our reality; they don’t always match up. If you’re frustrated by the speed of your recent progress, it’s worth thinking back to where you were a few months ago. With your ruler, Mercury, moving into a new sign, you’ll be able to see that although change mightn’t be as fast as you’d like, you’re moving into a new, enriching phase of your life.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: You know those questions that can’t be answered? Like which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or, is a hotdog a sandwich? It’s not worth giving them much thought, because you’re not going to come up with a definitive answer. This week, with the Sun now in your sign, and a New Moon, you’ve got a chance to make a new start. So, rather than wasting time thinking about impossible issues, focus on what’s under your control. In your heart you know what to do to bring more happiness into your world. Now, it’s time to take action.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: As a courageous, passionate Leo, you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve. But lately, you’ve been revealing a more secret side of yourself. But which side of you is it? The sensitive and loving side? Or, the irritable and impatient one? If it’s the latter, there’s good reason for you to be a bit grumpy. But the good news is that this week, with Mercury (planet of communication) arriving in your sign, you’ll have the insight to deal with a source of frustration. Good. Because there are lots of reasons to be at your very best.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: As a clear communicator, it’s frustrating when people don’t say what they mean. But there’s usually a good reason for it. There’s always a chance, of course, that they’re trying to deceive you. But that’s not what’s happening in your world. It’s much more likely that your feelings are being protected. This week, your ruler Mercury’s move into creative Leo gives you the courage to ask for the truth. The clarity will inspire you to deal with a difficult dynamic, and pave the way for a connection that brings real satisfaction.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: Many of life’s events have a natural rhythm and flow. We witness this on a global scale; but in our own lives too. Once certain developments have begun to unfold, there’s almost no point trying to stop them. When this happens, the best approach is to relax and allow what’s happening to happen. If you find yourself obliged to change your plans this week, don’t let yourself feel stressed. No. Trust that you’re being guided onto a path that’s taking you towards the realisation of a deeply personal, emotional-fulfilling goal.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: These days, a simple electrical fault is enough to stop a car running smoothly. Just one small thing going wrong can have a big effect. And to get it moving again, you need assistance from someone who knows what they’re doing. Luckily, for most everyday faults we can ‘make do and mend’. Or improvise with less-than-perfect solutions that buy us a little time. Under this week’s powerful skies, you’ve got the tools (and the expertise) to fix a relationship that’s been running under power. With your skills, you can revitalise it.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: If it feels like ages since you’ve had any really good news, get ready! You deserve some good fortune, and this week, with the Sun forming a conjunction with your ruler, Jupiter, and the New Moon linking to your ruler too, that’s what’s coming your way. You’ll be more optimistic about existing relationships, and more open to establishing new connections. Here comes an emotionally-charged boost which you can use to create bonds of trust. Be bold, and put yourself in situations where you can maximise the potential on offer.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: If you know the song ‘Once in a Lifetime’ you’ll know the lyrics describe singer David Byrne looking at life, and wondering how he got to this point. We all ask ourselves this kind of profound question. This week, if you’ve got reasons to feel dissatisfied, you’ll be able to take tangible steps to take remedial action. The New Moon, in your opposite sign, marks a change of direction. It might be more emotional than physical. But if you follow your heart, you’ll know exactly what to do to bring more happiness into your world.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: There’s one person in charge of your destiny. And that’s the person reading this! But when you’re feeling swamped by other people’s demands, it’s hard to keep this truth in mind. This week, in the legacy of the Solstice, you can make a resolution that has a great chance of success. Empowered by the arrival of Mercury (communication) in sociable Leo, you don’t have to stop being available to help other people. But you’ll be able to make your boundaries clear. And that will enable you to find the time you need to focus on your needs.
Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: When we think about perfection, we often picture clean-cut, sterile environments such as we see in futuristic movies. Although real-life excellence can be like that, it’s far more likely to be softly-edged and infused with emotional warmth. With your traditional ruler, Jupiter, forming conjunctions with the Sun, and the New Moon this week, you’re on the threshold of a new reality. And, if that sounds a bit discombobulating, you’ve got nothing to fear. You’ve been yearning for change. Something nearing perfection is on its way.
