Throughout time, the Solstices have been power points and honored as such by humans. Twice each year we move into a window in space-time when the sun and earth communicate in their extremes and energy is exchanged — humanity, earth, sun, light, dance of light and dark, a Tipping Point in consciousness in the service of evolution. And during our current times — characterized by the Turning of the Ages, i.e. the end a 26,000-year cycle and the beginning of a new one — the Solstices carry even more strength. They are charged beyond what was known previously. The word "solstice" means "sun standing still" or Sun-Stop. This impacts us because our sense of time is driven by the sky, with its daily, monthly and yearly cycles. The summer and winter solstices are key reference points in our calendar, marking the yearly extremes of the Sun's changing height in the sky at noon. Whether we realize it or not, our civilization is ordered around the happenings in the sky. We are swimming in these energy patterns, just not consciously most of the time. Why does Summer Solstice Happen? The seasons of the year are caused by the 23.5ยบ tilt of the earth's axis. Because the earth is rotating like a top or gyroscope, the North Pole points in a fixed direction continuously — towards a point in space near the North Star. But the earth is also revolving around the sun. During half of the year, the southern hemisphere is more exposed to the sun than is the northern hemisphere. During the rest of the year, the reverse is true. Unlike the Equinoxes (which are all about perfect balance) the Solstices are a Tipping Point — toward or away from The Light. You might want to Stop And Look Up. (Close your eyes.) You could consciously absorb the photonic energy generated by the nuclear engine of our central star. Photons are tiny capsules of intelligence from the Mind of God, as translated through the Sun. They are all around you, especially now.
