Astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim Shares What Each Sign Can Look Forward to This Summer Solstice
Are you feeling that summer energy in the air? In 2024, the summer solstice marks the official start of the season on Thursday, June 20, bringing with it a fresh and vibrant astrological energy that impacts every sign of the zodiac.
Evan Nathaniel Grim is an astrologer and viral creator who specializes in astrological forecasts and analysis, and just in time for the approaching start of summer, we got the chance to chat with him all about the solstice. In the interview below, he filled us in on the meaning of the summer solstice and what each sign of the zodiac can expect for the next three months.
Sweety High: What is the astrological significance of the summer solstice?
Evan Nathaniel Grim: The summer solstice marks the time of year when the Northern Hemisphere experiences the longest period of daylight. During this time, the sun passes directly over the Tropic of Cancer (hence the Tropical Zodiac). The summer solstice marks the peak of a cycle that began on the winter solstice when daylight was at its shortest. Whereas the winter
solstice signifies a rebirth and the initiation of new plans, the summer solstice is a cause for celebration of your achievements since that time.
The sun represents the Logos, the spirit, expression and our vitality. Therefore, when its energy is climaxing, it can represent the fulfillment of our goals and ambitions and we can really step into our authentic selves. This makes it a wonderful time for reflecting on what you've accomplished over the past six months.
From this point until the winter solstice, the sun's power in the Northern Hemisphere begins to wane, and this can be thought of similarly to the waning hemicycle of a lunation cycle. It is, therefore, a time to refine and perfect our achievements. I would recommend writing down your accomplishments since the winter solstice and evaluating your next steps from there. And this summer solstice precedes a full moon in Capricorn happening one day later, making it an opportune moment for releasing outmoded energies.
