The Astrology of June 21–30, 2026 + A Look at the Solstice

In this episode of Sky Notes, Tracy Quinlan and Lillian explore the astrology of the June Solstice and the final days of June.

The Summer Solstice marks a major turning point in the year, and this chart suggests we're entering a season of transition, reflection, nostalgia, and collective change. Together, we unpack the Solstice chart, discuss themes of pruning and purification, and explore what happens when Cancer season amplifies memory, belonging, and the stories we tell ourselves about the past.

We also cover:

✨ The June 21 Summer Solstice ✨ Sun trine the North Node ✨ Sun square Neptune ✨ Venus trine Saturn ✨ Sun quincunx Pluto ✨ Mars sextile Jupiter ✨ Mars entering Gemini ✨ Mercury Retrograde in Cancer ✨ Mars square the Nodes ✨ The Capricorn Full Moon ✨ Jupiter's final days in Cancer before entering Leo

This period may feel emotional, nostalgic, creative, and at times overwhelming. We discuss practical ways to work with the energy, including grounding practices, energetic hygiene, creativity, reflection, and giving yourself permission to revisit old stories with new understanding.

Whether you're looking for guidance, insight, or simply a broader perspective on the astrology unfolding around us, we hope this conversation helps you navigate the weeks ahead with a little more awareness and intention.
