Crossing the Threshold - Between Light and Shadow

15-21 JUNE 2025

We now stand at the sacred gateway of the year—the Solstice.

The cosmic wheel turns, asking us to pause and notice the light, the dark, and the space in between.

We are reminded: life is not all momentum. There are moments for deep reflection, moments to feel into the bones of who we are becoming.

This week, the sky stirs with both tension and potential. You may feel the stretch between your longing for freedom and the practical steps required to claim it. You may feel both soft and fierce, held and challenged. This is the dance of light and shadow. Neither is wrong. Both are part of your wholeness.

As the Sun shifts into Cancer and the Solstice opens the doorway to the next chapter, trust that what feels tender now holds the seeds of your greatest strength.

Key Cosmic Influences 

June 15 – Jupiter Square Saturn & Neptune

The expansive heart of Jupiter meets the grounding force of Saturn and the dreamy pull of Neptune—activating a powerful inner dialogue.

Your visions and hopes may feel larger than life, yet the structures to hold them may feel too small or too fragile.

This energy asks:

• Where do I need to get real about what it will take to build my dreams?

• Where am I escaping instead of engaging with what needs my presence?

  
  

This alignment is a powerful invitation to bring your soul’s vision into embodied form.

Manifestation magic is high—but only if you are willing to walk it into reality, step by devoted step. 

June 17 – Mars Enters Virgo

Mars, a planet of drive and action, now moves into the earthy sign of Virgo.

This is an invitation to bring precision, care, and intention into your actions.

It’s an excellent time for:

• Clearing physical clutter (your pantry, wardrobe, workspace).

• Initiating new supportive health routines.

• Streamlining your days so your energy supports—not drains—you.

  
  

Let this be a practical reset, a grounding force beneath the larger shifts of the week. 

June 20 – Solstice & Sun Enters Cancer

Here we meet the Solstice—a luminous cosmic pause.

In the Southern Hemisphere, we descend into the longest night—a time for soulful reflection, inward journeys, and honoring the wisdom found in darkness.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day arrives—a celebration of life, growth, and all that is flourishing.

This is a time to honor both:

• The light that guides you forward.

• The dark that deepens your knowing.

The Sun’s move into Cancer further softens the energy, turning us toward home, heart, family, and emotional nourishment.

This is a beautiful time to mother yourself—to give to yourself what you most need, whether that is space, compassion, or courage.

Anchor in. Nurture. Strengthen from within. 

June 22 – Sun Square Saturn

A call to rise and take ownership.This energy can feel restrictive—but it also offers an opportunity to become the leader of your own life.

Where have you been waiting for permission or approval?

Now is the time to step forward, grounded in your worth and your wisdom.

You can do hard things. You are stronger than you know.

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I honor the dance of light and dark within me. I walk forward with clarity, courage, and a heart that knows how to bothdream and do."

As we cross this Solstice threshold, may you remember: that you are allowed to be both a seeker of the light and a tender witness to the dark.

There is wisdom in both. There is beauty in the spaces in between.

This is not a week to rush. It is a week to listen. To feel. To pause and realign.

The world will pull for your attention, but your soul asks for your presence. So let this be a sacred turning point. Release what weighs you down. Embrace what lights you up. Root deeper into the truth of who you are becoming. And as the wheel turns again, may you walk forward with grace—heart open, spirit steady, guided by the light within.

You are not behind. You are exactly where the wheel asks you to be. This pause is not a mistake—it is a gathering of wisdom. Soon enough, you will move again—and when you do, it will be from a deeper truth.

With so much love,

Sarah
