WHAT’S BREWING | June 20th – Cancer Season & the Solstice Threshold

Today, we arrive at the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year, a portal of light, power, and growth. It's a turning point that asks: Are you ready to be seen in your fullness?

As the Sun shifts into Cancer, we descend back into the waters of emotion, intuition, and ancestral knowing. Cancer is the mother, the tide, the keeper of home—but she is not weak. She’s fierce in her devotion, untamed in her knowing, and relentless when protecting what matters.

This week, your invitation is to root down and return to the sacred rhythm of your body. To ask:

☾ What parts of me am I ready to soften into?

☾ Where have I abandoned myself in the name of survival?

☾ How can I let my sensitivity be a source of strength?

Because sister, your power is not in your ability to stay hardened.

Your power is in your ability to feel it all and still rise.

And as we inch closer to the New Moon in Cancer (June 25), the womb of the cosmos opens. This is your moment to plant the seeds of emotional sovereignty. This is where we rewrite the story of “too much” and claim that we are finally just right.

Here is how that is personally showing up in my life, and although this may seem delusional… well I guess you must be new here, because for me, everything is connected.

On Monday, I went to the eye doctor and was told my eyesight was hasn’t gotten worse. This is great news because I have a lazy eye that basically shuts off and lets the left eye do all the work. AKA my feminine side is having to see it all for me.
Fast forward to Wednesday morning, I woke up and couldn’t see clearly out of my left eye—my good eye. The one I’ve always trusted. The one I rely on. The one that does the majority of my seeing.
And over these last few days, I noticed something wild:
Every time I try to make a decision that pulls me outside of myself, that is asking me to “work” and not play in the pleasure of creation. Work that pulls me outside of my body, my knowing, my pleasure—my eye gets worse.
But when I choose to step back into my truth,
When I come home to my rhythm,
My symptoms lessen, and the redness clears
My body whispers: “Stay with yourself.”

Now, trust me, magical being, I am also caring for the eye with medical intervention, but I like to look at the energetics of my body and its rhythms to also help me find the healing I need. And as we step through the threshold of the Summer Solstice and Cancer season, this is exactly what the energy of this season wants us to do.

Step into nurturing pleasure, and step out of working hard just to get something done.
