Astrology summer solstice of the year. Summer solstice. You can also perform rituals on the day of Power. They are necessary in order to change the energetic direction of circumstances.

Winter solstice. - On the calendar end of November, which means that less than a month remains before the day of the Winter Solstice. For those who are not in the know, I will say that on the day of the Winter Solstice there will be a change in annual energies according to the theory of Bazi and Qi Men. This year this day falls on December 21, 2016. At 13:50 Moscow time, the Fire Monkey gives up its place of honor Fire Rooster! Who will be lucky in the Rooster, and who will peck them mercilessly in the most painful place, it is interesting to know?

I'll start with a pleasant - with luck: 1. Rats, Monkeys and Dragons will be lucky in romantic and love relationships. The rooster for these people is the "flower of romance", so in 2017 these people will be unusually lucky on the love front. They will be noticeable to the opposite sex and incredibly attractive. 2. If you were born in the year (day) of the Snake or Ox, in 2017 you will also be lucky, especially if the Metal element is favorable for you. 3. If you were born in the year (day) of the Monkey or Dragon, and the Metal element is favorable for you, then you will also be successful in the coming year. 4. If you were born in a year (day) of Yin Metal, then the year of the Rooster is a "reward star" for you. In the coming year, you will find success in the field of career. Especially if you already have your own business or are planning to start such a business in 2017. 5. If you were born in the year or day of Yang Fire / Yin Fire, then the coming year of the Fire Rooster is the year of the Noble person for you. This means that for a whole year in the heavenly office they hear you, help and support you as much as possible! 6. If you were born in the year (day) Fire Yin/Earth Yin, then the Rooster for you is the "symbolic star" of the Academician. This means that throughout the year you will have success in the field of education. If your plans for 2017 include the item "get additional education" - be sure to take advantage of this luck from heaven. Who does the Rooster not love in 2017 and who can he attack? First of all - 1. Rooster does not like Rabbits (year or birthday). These people will be uncomfortable in 2017, especially if the elements of Metal or Fire are harmful to them. In second place is the Dog. People born in the year or day of this animal during 2017 will feel discomfort. 3. Tigers and Oxen are not particularly lucky in the year of the Rooster, but if the element Fire is favorable for you, then the Rooster will not prevent you from succeeding in 2017. 4. If you were born in the year of the Pig or the Goat, and the element of Fire is favorable for you, the year of the Rooster will be very comfortable for you, especially if you decide start a family this year.

In the Bazi map of the upcoming 2017, active, bright, active

Metal is constantly in conflict with the element of the year, the weak Yin Fire. Fire by its very nature melts, subjugates metal (money)), but because there is a lot of metal, and it is active, the elements of Fire are very difficult to control and subjugate. That is why money matters come to the fore in 2017. Everything related to business and money will be difficult to control for a whole year. Well, you need to understand that the forecast I voiced is very general, and therefore it may be incorrect for you personally. Each person's map has its own nuances that can radically change the picture. Complete information can only be given by an individual forecast calculated on your map. I will talk about such a forecast in the next newsletter.

Solstice and equinox in the northern hemisphere 2016 - 2020... - The spring and autumn equinoxes of 2016 are an astronomical event in which day equals nights, marking the change of seasons like the summer and winter solstices. We know that the spring and autumn equinoxes occur exactly at the moment when our Sun crosses the celestial equator in its annual movement across the sky. These points, respectively, are in the constellations of Pisces and Virgo.

About the daysdressing and solstice.- The summer and winter solstices are marked by the greatest distance of the Sun from the celestial equator. Accordingly, these points are at this moment in the constellations of Taurus and Sagittarius. The point of the summer solstice, according to astronomical calculations, moved to the constellation Taurus quite recently, only in 1988. Prior to this, the point of summer opposition was in the constellation Gemini. A rather slow shift of the equinoxes and solstices occurs mainly as a result of precession, which means that the directions of the earth's axis gradually change, occurring under the influence of the attraction of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. Talking about the dates of spring and autumn equinox, it is necessary to distinguish the date according to universal time (Greenwich Mean Time), as well as the date of the time zone of the area where you live. If, for example, the spring or autumn equinox occurred before 24:00 GMT, in countries that are located west of the zero meridian, this day has not yet arrived, then, according to local time, the onset of the equinox will be considered 1 day earlier. If the equinox came later than 24:00 GMT, then in those states that are located east of the zero meridian, the next day will already come, which means that the date of the equinox will be 1 day more. Below, in the table we have provided, you can see the exact dates of the spring and autumn equinoxes, just like the winter and summer solstices for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

The time below is given in Greenwich Mean Time.

There are things in our world that are unchanging and defined. These include: spring and autumn equinoxes, winter and summer solstices. The winter solstice is a kind of astronomical event, the moment the center of the Sun passes through the points of the ecliptic, the most distant from the equator of the celestial sphere and are called solstice points. 21 andDecember 22 are the shortest days of the year. December 21-22 is the longest night. The sun will descend as much as possible into the southern hemisphere of the sky, that is, moving along the ecliptic, it will reach its lowest declination - and astronomical winter will come. During the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere of the Earth, the Sun remains above the horizon least of all. In astrology, it is believed that this date is the real beginning of winter. According to many customs, this is also the real beginning of the New Year: and this is logical, before that the sun was decreasing, the length of the day was decreasing, and now the day is starting to increase, the sun is getting bigger - real birthSun, and with it the New Year! Living in close contact with nature, subordinating their lives to cosmic rhythms, peoples used this time as a starting point for improving the quality of their lives. The ancient Russian calendar was based on the phenomena of the four seasonal incarnations of the Sun: Kolyada - Yarilo - Kupail - Svetovit, tied to four astronomical solar events of the year:

  1. the weak winter sun-baby Kolyada is born renewed in the morning after the Night of the Winter Solstice,
  2. on the Day of the Spring Equinox, the young man Yarilo turns into a stronger sun,
  3. on the Day of the Summer Solstice, the husband of Kupail turns into the mighty sun,
  4. on the Day of the Autumnal Equinox, it turns into an aging and weakening wise autumn sun-old man Svetovit, dying at sunset before the Night of the Winter Solstice, in order to be reborn in the morning as a renewed sun-baby Kolyada, again gaining its solar strength.

And did our ancestors stand at a low level of culture (as, in particular, D.K. Zelenin believed), celebrating Russian holidays? In their ritual complexes, was not that Great Knowledge of the laws of the cosmos preserved and preserved, which our wise ancestors wanted to convey to us - their descendants? Scientists today assume quite that in the rites Winter Christmas time, Maslenitsa and Trinity-Kupala cycle fixed those, as physicists call them, "phase transitions" through which the primary structure passes universe- the cosmic ocean in its creative, creative process. Winter Christmas time is a stable, immobile, potentially carrying all possibilities form of a crystal. She is ruled by the masculine principle - Father Frost, about which A.S. Famintsyn in his book “The Deities of the Ancient Slavs” wrote: “According to the Russian settlers, the sun is a fire supported by Grandfather, under whose name, therefore, in this case one should understand the supreme heavenly God.” Maslenitsa or Krasnaya Gorka, which in ancient times always ended on the Day of the vernal equinox. This is the movement of melted snow and ice, the transition from a crystalline potential form to an active, liquid one, which is ruled by the creative feminine principle - Mother-in-law. And finally, Green Svyatki or Semik and Trinity. Here is another transformation of the gradual transformation of water into steam, plasma, and then into the Light. Consider biology. After all, it is Light that gives birth to living life - green leaves and grass. And this entire “phase complex” is completed by the Kupala night, when the process of reincarnation of those who must return to our world as newborn children, that is, people, is turned on.

Everything is very logical: Crystal - Water - ionized steam- Light - Green leaf (tree, herbs) - Human. And at the same time, the crystal is the starting point. After all, this term itself literally means “frozen light”. And that means that a Person who has reached the “frozen light”, who has acquired a “light body”, i.e. "saint" - Rishi (or Rasha) - is: a Sage who comprehended the Main Meaning of the Universe - the eternal and endless cycle of life! There are things in our world that are unchanging and certain. These include: spring and autumn equinoxes, winter and summer solstices.

WINTER SOLSTICE. Dec 22. - On the day of the winter solstice, the light embodied in the Sun begins to rise from the very depths, highlighting the axis on which all layers of being are strung. The turn that takes place in the very center of the night of the year has a special power, joining which, all living things will begin their ascent to manifestation. By witnessing this event, we give ourselves the opportunity to participate in the deepest rhythms of our lives, to keep up with the times from the very beginning, and not wake up in the middle of an old act of life drama, with the question - “What is even going on here?”.

The main thing on this day is to feel this turn, to reproduce it as some kind of internal movement.

If you set such a goal - how to do it, options will come. Let your creativity, the sunny beginning, be manifested here, this is important. The day should not pass “as usual”, put a little more of your strength into it, appear in it a little brighter than yesterday. Do something in it that you have never gotten your hands on before. But this business should not be cumbersome, it should draw a lot of strength out of you. Just to feel that there are a little more of them, and try to get joy from it.

The days around the winter solstice are the best days of the year when you can really change your destiny. That is, to be reborn in the same way as the Sun, to discard all unnecessary and give rise to a new one.

Three days before December 21 and three after - this is an energetically charged time. Strong flows of energy descend on Earth. Therefore, in the days preceding the winter solstice, it is favorable to get rid of everything unnecessary. This can be done mentally, but it is better to write on paper everything you want to get rid of and burn it. It is also beneficial before this day to cleanse your home, yourself, find time to cleanse your thoughts. Wish happiness to your loved ones, relatives, friends - this is the easiest thing to do these days. After that, it is very favorable to make plans for the whole year (preferably write in a notebook), make wishes, use intention, conduct meditations for yourself and for the whole Earth. On this day, you must definitely find time in order to touch the depths of your life. Move away from the superficial everyday bustle and pay attention to what is happening inside you, in life. And starting from this foundation, find what ideas of yours are waiting to be born, brought to life, what is ready to become a plan for the future. Plans, compiled on this day and for the whole year, have a special power - because you fill them with the power of the growing Sun. It is advisable to write down and save these plans. During the Solstice, it is auspicious to make wishes, use intention, conduct meditations for yourself and for the whole Earth. All this will have a special power due to the natural rhythms of nature. And on December 22 in the morning, try to meet the sunrise and congratulate him on his birth, thank him for everything that it gives us.

Point designation. - The points of the winter and summer solstices are indicated by the symbols of the zodiac corresponding to the constellations in which they were located at the time of Hipparchus (as a result of the prelude of the equinoxes, these points have shifted and are now located, respectively, in the constellations of Sagittarius and Taurus, and the point of the summer solstice has moved to the constellation of Taurus from the constellation Gemini relatively recently - in the fall of 1988): the winter solstice - the sign of Capricorn (), the summer solstice - the sign of Cancer ().

solstice(solstice) - the old Russian name for the solstice. Corresponded to the moment of the "turn" of the Sun for profit or loss of the day. In Rus' and in many European countries, the winter solstice was celebrated as a celebration of the birth of the sun.

Summer solstice- the holiday of Midsummer, the shortest night of the year, the triumph of the Great Light. On the night of 20 to 21 (from 21 to 22) June, dreams and reality mix with each other. This is one of the most important and widespread solar holidays.
The night before the Summer Solstice - "there is a time for great Magic and great Power." Medicinal herbs are collected on this day. Plants - a combination of mistletoe with oak, St. John's wort, rose, fern. Celtic Oak Festival. June 20-23 are the shortest nights of the year. These nights are full of energy and magic. June 21 is considered a major turning point on the Wheel of the Year. Reality and dreams are mixed, the boundaries between the worlds become thinner. This day symbolizes the highest point, the maximum peak, rise, rise, ecstasy, both in nature and in human life. The holiday embodies fertility, abundance, glory, triumph, generosity, fullness of life, happiness. Cheerfulness, love of life, fun reign in this shortest of earthly nights. From a mystical point of view, this holiday combines all four elements at once - fire, water, earth, air. Therefore, the Spirits of these elements rejoice and have fun together with people. In ancient times, people celebrated this night in order to gain their strength and energy through the rituals and rites of worship of the Elements. For example, it was believed that the earth gives a solid foundation in life, self-confidence, fertility. However, the main essence of this holiday is that people learn to enjoy life, love it, enjoy it. It helps to open the heart and feel happiness. On this holiday, it is customary to go to nature, closer to the water. Until dawn, bonfires blaze, laughter is heard, cheerful songs ring. Ritual bathing, wreaths of flowers, dances around the fire - all these are elements without which a holiday is not conceivable. In addition, Midsummer is a good time for the initiation of youth, for the first stage of initiation - familiarization with the magic circle. This night is good for love, but not for special fertility rituals, but just for making love for your own pleasure. Running naked at dawn on the grass wet with dew and splashing your sexual energy through the fields and forests is a good remedy for infertility and a guarantee of strong, healthy offspring in the future. On this holiday, a sacrificial effigy is created and burned. It could be Wicker Man, as the Celts do, i.e. a wicker man, inside of which the victims are laid. Such an effigy is burned with the first rays of the sun. It can be a straw (or from last year's hay) scarecrow on a cross. This is set in the center of the fire, which is lit at the beginning of the night. In any case, this is a sacrifice to the Gods of Fertility, so that the harvest is plentiful and neither prolonged rains nor hail spoil it.

Dear friends.

The summer solstice is the middle of natural summer and the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest position. It starts on June 21 at 01:34 Moscow time.

For thousands of years, this day (like the winter solstice on December 21) was of great importance for our ancestors, who lived in harmony with Mother Earth and obeyed the cycles of nature.

The Summer Solstice is the maximum solar nourishment for all beings. The power of the sun and the power of ascending currents from the earth nourishes, expands the range of vital vibrations, and gives additional strength to the body.

This year, the summer solstice is associated with the conjunction on the eve of the Sun, Moon and Mars, which happens once every few years and creates a special energy situation associated with the additional inclusion of active energies and increased responsibility for one's actions. It is important to be aware, as both good and bad during this period increase tenfold and have karmic consequences.

On the day of the solstice, the Moon, which is responsible for psychic energy, is in favorable resonant vibrations with the Sun, Mars and Uranus, activating the energies of the signs of Virgo, Cancer, as well as Aries and Scorpio. In this scenario, it is simply necessary to work with yourself, your subconscious, energies.

Our own inner space becomes the main theme of this period, and how successfully we work here, we will be able to balance our energy field. Without such work on oneself, one can not dream of both spiritual transformation and a simple human happy attitude.

The New Moon on 06/05/2016 activated the astrological Mutable Cross, which allows you to simultaneously go through two paths, get involved in two (or more) life scenarios and look at yourself from the outside. The position of the planets affects changes in the psyche, in lifestyle, creates an unusually favorable opportunity for spiritual renewal, transformation. Two hypostases are connected in a person, one is "earthly", the other is "heavenly". These “twins” live in each of us, these two principles, it is important to harmonize and balance them. For some, "earthly" interests dominate, for others, "heavenly", and this depends on the specific tasks of the incarnation, reflected in the individual horoscope. Since the "twins" are very inquisitive and ready to learn everything, it is important to learn more about yourself, and about the most important areas of your self-realization too.

Events and people will serve as external mirrors, intuition and sensations as internal ones.

To connect the external and internal, earthly and heavenly, logical and intuitive - this is the main task of Gemini, where the Sun stays in June. Geminis are eternal learners, discovering something new at every stage. But it is also necessary to transfer this knowledge to other people.

The night before the summer solstice is a magical time when the veil between our world and the parallel world becomes thin.

Therefore, this is one of the most powerful days of the year, when it is possible to move to a new timeline, to create a better reality for yourself. This is a very good day to start the healing work.

In many traditions, the union of the elements of Water and Fire is celebrated on this day, and water on this day also has powerful magical powers.

It is the Sun and Water, uniting, that give life to our planet.

The summer solstice is without a doubt a very important day from an astrological point of view. But in some cases, despite the positive energy of our luminary, the solstice can promise problems and even troubles.

Astrologers' fears about the summer solstice in 2016 are not surprising: during a leap year, even the most positive omens do not always justify themselves. The reason for this is unstable energy. And this year, this problem may also affect the summer solstice.

Summer Solstice Energy 2016

The summer solstice is the time when the sun stays in the sky for the longest time of any other day of the year. Daylight reaches its maximum, and the energy of creation and warmth is amplified many times over. It would seem that nothing terrible or unpleasant can happen at such a time. However, astrology is sometimes unpredictable, like the whole world around us.
In 2016, the summer solstice is June 21st. The danger of the longest day is that the energy of other heavenly bodies will also be much stronger. This means that those things that the Sun usually patronizes will work out - you can create, help others, create something new - but other celestial bodies can also make adjustments to your usual daily routine.

Summer solstice - the fears of astrologers

The longest day in 2016 will be on Tuesday. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the warlike red planet. Under the rule of Mars, people have a desire to conquer heights, to conquer new heights, but negative spills out more often. Therefore, on Tuesday, June 21, from an astrological point of view, a strong dissonance is possible between creative and destructive energy.
This can manifest itself both at the everyday level and at a more global level. An attempt to conclude a contract that is beneficial for both parties can fail because of someone's stubbornness. A planned promising date also runs the risk of going according to an unpredictable scenario.
Finally, the Full Moon on June 20 also does not contribute to the decline in energy in the world, which means that the third force, emotional and susceptible to subconscious fears, will affect us at the end of June. Therefore, the longest day after the night under the Full Moon may not be a gift from the Universe, but its test. Which, however, everyone is able to withstand. How to improve energy on the day of the summer solstice
In order not to run into a problem on the longest day of a leap year, it is better to get a talisman as early as possible. You can do this even from the evening of the previous day, meeting the first full moon of the summer.
You should not choose a talisman at random, but based on your plans and desires. For example, if you are a creative person, and you cannot lose inspiration in your searches, and there is not enough support under your feet, the Sun will help you. Wear gold jewelry, use yellow clothes, put a positive sun on your computer or phone screen.
And if you have a serious step scheduled for this day, an important exam, a meeting on which the future depends - Mars will help in this, even when the Sun strengthens its influence. Help them negotiate, add notes of red to your image.
Finally, the Moon can help make dreams come true, and the Full Moon is a very good time for money rituals. It is unlikely that Mars, which is not indifferent to the benefits, or the generous Sun will be against the fact that you decide to increase finances with the help of the Full Moon.

Many astronomical phenomena caused fear among ancient people. But events like the summer solstice turned out to be significant and important events. Many rituals are dedicated to this important day.

The summer solstice is the day when the sun shines the longest in the sky. This is the longest day of the year. Therefore, all predictions will become even more powerful. Most peoples have some kind of holiday associated with this astronomical event. The summer solstice in 2016 falls on the night of Monday to Tuesday, June 20-21. In contrast, there is also the longest night of the year, usually December 21st or 22nd. This day is accordingly called the winter solstice.


Auspicious deeds on the day of the summer solstice

You should not postpone trips and travels: they will definitely go very well, without all sorts of obstacles or unpleasant incidents. It is necessary to beware of transactions related to the purchase of land. Things related to construction will not go well.

Emotionally, the day will not pass in the most stable way. Along with the extremely strong energy of the Sun, the Moon will occupy an equally strong position, since Monday is controlled by the night luminary. No less important is the fact that there will be a Full Moon phase. Due to this, conflicts and disagreements can escalate, while quarrels can even lead to a break in relations if you do not pull yourself together in time. Thus, two extremely powerful natural phenomena can both help and hurt.


The Significance of the Sun in Astrology

First of all, the self-consciousness of man is connected with the Sun. It is responsible for the manifestation of the will and is also a symbol of success and good luck. A special influence on this day should be paid to the representatives of the sign Aries and Leo, since in their horoscope the Sun is in the strongest positions. This means that they can get the maximum benefit for themselves. However, representatives of other signs of the zodiac can also become more fortunate on this day.

The summer solstice is the middle of natural summer, this is the longest daylight day of the year, when ...

If spring is the time of the Spirit and crops, when the seeds of plants are planted in the earth, and the seeds of new beginnings are planted in our lives, then summer is the time of growth, flourishing and cultivation. In the spring we wake up and become more active, and in the summer we want to enjoy all the colors of life, get new emotions, nourish ourselves with different tastes and impressions.

When is Summer Solstice in 2020

This year the summer solstice occurs on June 21 at 00:44. Therefore, rituals can be performed on June 20 and 21. This is a celebration of the maximum of Light, the Sun - the time of the longest day and the shortest night. It symbolizes the flowering of nature and the triumph of life.

Many nations have celebrated the summer solstice for centuries and continue to celebrate until now. Even in territories where this tradition was interrupted or "blocked" by other holidays, for example, Orthodox ones, tribute is now once again paid to the forces of nature. In Rus', before the solstice, the Rusal Week was celebrated, honoring the spirits of rivers and lakes. This week was closely connected with the remembrance of the ancestors because of the custom that existed since ancient times to float the burnt ashes of warriors on the boats. Directly on the day of the solstice in Rus', the feast of Ivan Kupala was celebrated, symbolizing the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The rituals of Ivan Kupala are very similar to the rituals of Ivan's Day and Lita, which is quite natural, given the common historical roots of European peoples.

In ancient times, wreaths were woven on this day, they drank the honey drink Surya, jumped over fires, made sacrifices to water and fire, collected healing herbs, bathed in rivers and lakes that cleansed the soul and body, and also performed rituals for a good harvest. The ancient holidays of the inhabitants of Europe - Ivan's Day, Lita and Kupala - were the most joyful and magnificently celebrated by our ancestors for centuries - for the pagans, the sun had divine power over all living beings. In the Christian tradition, the main summer holiday - the Nativity of John the Baptist - is celebrated on June 24 (in Russia, according to the Julian calendar - July 7).

Immediately after the day of the solstice, the solstice came, which lasted 3 days and during which a whole cycle of the mysteries of the god Perun was celebrated - from birth to death, magical Sunday and the upcoming victory over the Skipper-beast. Perun is one of the most important gods among the ancient Slavs, the patron saint of warriors, who was in charge of the forces of nature and heavenly fire. By the way, 3 more days after the solstice, you can conduct your own rituals to tune in to the summer season and more involved in your life of its energies and capabilities.

Rituals for the Summer Solstice

Our ancestors, referring to water, said: “Water-voditsa, red maiden” and, washing in a river or lake, asked her to give beauty and health, to take away all sorrows and sorrows. Therefore, if you are overcome by painful conditions, just wash yourself (you can even use tap water) with a request to wash off all the negativity.

There is another simple water practice that will come in handy in any season, at any time, if you are experiencing a strong emotional swing. Fill a glass with clean water. Take it in your hands and say, referring to the water: “I salute you, water! You are as pure, healing and sacred as water from sacred sources. Therefore, I turn to you with a request for help. Please, water, calm my emotions, clear my mind, give me calm, harmonization and peace. Say it 7 times and drink.

It often rains on the eve of the summer solstice. Go out into the rain and ask him to wash away all your sorrows, everything worked out, everything negative. And it’s also good to sit by the fire - by a fire or a candle, calmly reviewing your current situation, letting go of what it’s time to leave. On the day of the summer solstice, go out into nature, greet the Earth, the Sun, all the elements, ask them to give you strength and support to make your Transition.
