June 21 – the day of the summer solstice: what you can and cannot do these days

The summer solstice is considered the longest day of the year. It seems that during this time the sun freezes in the sky and does not move. Many legends, traditions, customs and signs have always been associated with this day in different cultures. We decided to ask our astrologer Alena Kokareva what can and cannot be done on the day of the summer solstice.

The solstice is a feature of the Earth’s astronomical cycle around the Sun. And this event is given more importance in astronomy than in astrology. However, we can use its symbolism for our own personal purposes.

In astrology, the Sun is the home planet of your character, aspirations, energy, talents, and inner spark. It gives strength to the fulfillment of desires and helps you find your way, your destiny. On the day when the sun shines the longest, you need to have time to recharge that heat and direct it in a beneficial direction.

On the day of the summer solstice, it is good to start or maintain the following practices:

• You can prove yourself by demonstrating one of the talents. Try to start at least on social networks to share the results of your creativity or your photos and videos with achievements;
• take a step towards a new right habit that you have long wanted to consolidate in your life;
• Start doing an interesting activity that you have put off for a long time or that you do not dare to try. For example, enroll in a photography course or try a Latin American dance class;
• Work on your self-confidence and character. Of course, here you may and may even need to contact a specialist who will competently guide you to faster changes. Astrologer, psychologist, numerologist, coach – this is what suits you;
• Pamper yourself with something bright, cheerful and enjoyable. Force yourself to smile and experience the true pleasure of life. Try to spend the whole day with a positive and open mind.

Here’s what you need to do:

• close to the outside world, close to loneliness;
• constantly saying NO to oneself and thwarting the desires of others by fulfilling their wishes. You don’t just want to live according to the goals and plans of others;
• being upset, cursing, and arousing feelings of anxiety and helplessness. Do not waste the energy that comes to you by instantly pouring it into the void;
• devalue everything you do and try not to stand out.
