A special event is approaching — the summer solstice. Not everyone knows what to do on this day, how to attract happiness, and what can help call in love. Ukrainian astrologer Liia Lahuz clearly explains what makes this solstice unique and how to spend June 21 to bring joy into your life.
What you need to know about the solstice day
"On June 21 at 5:43 AM Kyiv time, the Sun enters the sign of Cancer — and we enter a new season. On this day, the summer solstice occurs — the longest day and shortest night of the year. At this moment, the Sun takes the highest position in the sky, filling the space with powerful light and giving a push for internal change," said the astrologer.
"This is one of the Wheel of the Year festivals — Litha, which came to us from Celtic tradition. In ancient times, people danced in circles, lit bonfires, asked the Sun for harvest and abundance, and made wishes for love and happiness. Everything done on this day must be conscious, as the energies run deep and long-lasting," she added.
The Sun in Cancer, Lahuz noted, opens the season of depth, family, emotions, and care for yourself and loved ones. It's a time of rooting and returning to what truly matters.
It's also the 25th lunar day, with a waning Moon in Taurus. An extremely sensitive, intuitive, and delicate period. Perfect for introspection, stillness, body recovery, and reconnecting with nature.
"The first aspect of the Sun is a square with Saturn and Neptune in Aries — reality dissolves illusions, demanding honesty, clarity, and maturity. This is not a soft start to the season — it's a clear emphasis: 'Be yourself. Stop avoiding reality. Face the truth," explained the astrologer.
This day is not about fast action. It's a time of stillness, intention, and inner shift. According to Lahuz, it's a day to pause and remember where you're going.
How to spend Litha day
For financial harmony:
- Give gifts
- Donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
- Be generous with actions, words, and warmth
- Express gratitude for what you already have
For love:
- Share love with the world: people, animals, nature
- Give sincere compliments
- Smile, hug, care
And remember, the astrologer emphasized: what we give is what we receive. It's a natural cycle, especially powerful on days of strength.
"Each year on this day, the Sun at 1 degree of Cancer creates a harmonious aspect with Ukraine's Sun at 1 degree of Virgo. It's like a gift from the heavens — charging our nation with strength, faith, and light. That's why this day can become a point of energy concentration — to move forward, toward our Victory," Lahuz concluded.
