the solstice chart is almost identical to the gemini new moon number 2 chart because new moon takes place roughly one day prior to solstice.consequently,all i have said about the gemini new moon number 2 chart is also valid for the summer solstice chart with one exception and that is the position of the fastest moving celestial body in our solar system,the receptive moon!moon in her homesign,at the heart (15 degrees) of cancer,is deeply emotional and because moon remains unaspected,emotionality is solely subjective.

you might wonder,what is the most striking issue attached to the seasonal new beginning as our essence steps into the field of the most lightened (darkened) day of the year and i would answer that one with sun and moons together switch from the world of communication to the world of feeling (their simultaneous shift from male airsign gemini to female watersign cancer) which is equal to a shift on the mental and on the emotional level.

purposefully i have left out mercury in cancer in my new moon reading because the talk about feelings fits sun in cancer much better.with mercury in cancer the intellect goes about what one perceives with his/her own senses.
retro saturn in 22 libra draws a square to mercury in 21 cancer indicating that emotion-filled communication is unavoidably impacting the personal definition of fairness and equality.thinking about sensitivity provides the perfect aha effect sothat we can realize the bigger picture behind the current system and authority in need of readjustment.due to mars sextile mercury,the drive to over-analyze the realm of feel is very much present as well.

keep talking about emotional states without making too many inappropriate assumptions.i think the key is to rather embrace,appreciate and nurture the whole spectrum of existing emotions and look for their clues to teach you something instead of approaching them as if they are problems that need to be solved.
