angel reading for the first day of summer

Messenger of Water from The Good Tarot

​It's 5:00 am. I have my cup of steaming green tea. Out of my window I see that the sun isn't shining yet, but it's full daylight.  Birds are singing, the day will be bright, and there's a cloud of mist hovering over the neighbouring field.  And then I remember ... today is summer solstice!  Here in the Northern Hemisphere it's the longest day of the year, the first day of summer.  Where we live on Vancouver Island we'll be getting about 18 hours of sunlight today!

And of course, in England at Stonehenge this is when the heelstone marks the midsummer sunrise as seen from the centre of the stone circle.  As I write this a huge gathering of people have already be present to watch the sunrise through the heelstone. 

What do you love about summer?  Summer to me is when I feel  more openness, love, joy and celebration.  I always feel my heart and body relaxing more with the warmer days and easier living. 

For this special day of the year,  I wanted to asked the angels to show us a card to help guide us. (Actually it was them who were nudging me to do it.)  And the card that came up was Messenger of Water.  This card represents the energy that is here today, is all around us, and that we will move from as we go forward.   

So, here were are finding that the fresh new enthusiasm that we felt in spring is moving towards a deeper sense of romanticism and love - love for ourselves, for the world and around us, and for others.   You might find that you'll experience a heightened sense of emotional awareness at this time, with the emotional energy running a high.  This isn't quite yet that deep mature love the develops over time, it's  more emotional and passionate.  You might find  that you'll be expecting chivalrous actions, and even will enjoy the highs of this romanticism  .. .just be mindful of not getting pulled into stories of drama. Instead just watch Pride and Prejudice. 

And what's always important  is to allow yourself to fall in love with you.  Be open hearted and warm with yourself, first and foremost. 

Some affirmations are:

• ​"My attractions stem from self-love and a knowledge that I'm a part of all love, which takes many  forms, each amazing in its own unique way."
• "I remember to look for the best in others and honour it even when it seems a challenge to do so."
• "I remember that I am love itself.  There is no need to fear when I can remember that I am love.  Love flows freely to me powerfully." ​

This is such a beautiful reminder, what a great way to begin summer!  Remember that you are loved and you are love itself. 

And I am sending love to you!!!
Happy Summer Solstice!
