Just the thought of bonfire-jumping is enough to raise health and safety alarms. But this ancient tradition is long-associated with this day. In the Northern hemisphere, it's officially Midsummer. And in times gone by, the highest jump over the bonfire was believed to predict the height of the year's crops! Other activities included washing your face in the morning dew and dancing until sunset. In the Dark of the Moon, tuning into old ways can inspire us with ideas for the future.
Ever wondered why solstices feel like the universe is taking a quiet moment to reflect? It's rather like a seasoned commuter waiting patiently exactly at the right spot on the platform before changing trains.The thing about solstices is they're not trying to be mystical - they're simple astronomical facts with astrological consequences. Twice yearly, our Sun reaches its absolute limit on the horizon, stops dead (hence "solstice" meaning "Sun stands still"), and then quietly reverses course. No drama, just cosmic efficiency.take full advantage of this very special time with a LAST CHANCE - FREE Personal Profile Birth Chart, three Tarot and I Ching readings, and 50% off ALL CHARTS!
