You don’t have to wait until Sunday to show Dad the love. Thursday through Father’s Day brunch, the transiting Leo moon is game for pampering, indulging, and enjoying your favourite recreational activity to the fullest.

The summer solstice, which happens Sunday at 9:38 a.m. PDT, when the sun treks into Cancer, sets the tone for the next quarter of the year. The journey is unique to each person, but the feel is the same for all. It’s a new season of being and actualizing. The transition phase is one that covers a lot of ground—progressive disengagement; letting go and opening up; outgrowing and moving beyond; re-evaluation and gaining perspective; refortification and reinvigoration; renewed hopefulness, confidence, and inspiration; a greater readiness for adventure, reinvention, and risk-taking. How many of the above do you nod yes to?

On the playing field, on the stage, and elsewhere around town, Jupiter in Leo trine Uranus in Aries on Monday keeps life well sparked. Jupiter/Uranus is an awakening, freeing, luck-generating, and destiny-making combination. It’s ideal for the end of the school year and the start of vacations. It’s not a fleeting influence. This ripe-and-ready, bases-are-loaded pairing will continue at peak through most of July.

On Tuesday, Mercury/Neptune completes an expose, correct, and heal-it cycle that was begun at the start of May. On Wednesday, Mars starts a six-week tour of Cancer. Home, family, real estate, security, and comfort zones gain refreshed priority. Call it life as it should be.
