The summer solstice is a time for celebration and reflection.
To celebrate nature and her abundance.
Just look around outside, all the gorgeous colourful flowers, the buzzing bees, the bushy trees – it truly is a magical time of year.
The earth feels alive!
It’s also a time for personal reflection and celebration, for all the things you’ve achieved this year.
But, for anyone who feels stuck, out of alignment or strayed from their path, I have just the thing for you.
Guidance from the universe.
Following Reiki practice this week, I sought guidance from the oracle cards for the collective – for You.
Using three decks; Soul Love, Numerology and Spirit Animal cards, I asked, “What do they need to know?“
The key themes were Peace, Spirituality and Magic.
How amazing does that sound?!
And, to support you further I’ve included some journal prompts to help you explore each card more deeply.
Shall we get started?
The Universe wants you to know…
Oracle Card – Soul Love
Message: Choose Peace, it comes from within.
This is a beautifully calming-looking card.
With the face of the gently smiling Buddha. It reminds us that when faced with challenging situations or people, instead of getting frustrated or angry (which only causes harm to ourselves) to choose the path of peace instead.
The only person who can make you feel anything is you.
You get to choose how you react.
And now, I’m reminded of the Reiki precept, Do Not Anger.
If someone pisses you off, they haven’t pissed you off, you’ve allowed them to piss you off.
You’ve chosen the path of annoyance.
What would it feel like to react differently?
If someone annoys you, will you bite back or will you take a deep breath and say in your mind, they know no better, and walk away in peace?
You always have a choice.
And that goes for everything in life.
Under the summer solstice ask yourself:
- How can I bring more peace and calm into my life?
- What do I need to let go of to bring more calm and peace into my life?

Message: 11 Highly Spiritual
On the lead-up to celestial events like the solstice, full or new moon or eclipses if you’re connected with your intuition and higher self you’ll notice more and more repeat numbers…
11:11, 17:17, 12, 24:24….
I love the fact this card came up today, with the solstice only a few days away and ‘highly spiritual’ being drawn out – I feel it’s certainly a sign for us all.
The message is clear. Now is the time to connect or re-connect to yourself.
The answers you seek are within you.
You need to take the time to sit in the quiet, sometimes uncomfortable space and listen.
It’s through meditation and this contemplation that you will connect with your intuition and ultimately your higher self.
And if you really commit to the practice, you may even connect with your spirit guides and ancestors.
They are always around and supporting you.
The card is telling you now is the time on the lead up to the solstice to listen, pay attention to your dreams and try to decipher what the message is for you.
It’s in the silence that the answers will come.
Ask yourself;
- What boundaries do I need to put in place, so I can practice meditating and connecting with my intuition?
- How can I create time to meditate and connect with my higher-self?
Card: Animal Oracle Deck
Message: The Crow – Magic
Oh my goodness, as if we needed more synchronicities and reminders of how magical this time of year is!
The Crow will support you in developing your power of sight, transformation, connection and manifestation.
After reading this, please go outside for a walk and let me know how many Crow’s you see! I bet they’ll be everywhere now!
The solstice is a magical time of year and with the Crow here to support you, there really is nothing you can’t achieve or receive.
Within your meditation practice, call on the spirit of the Crow and visualise her wings embracing you with the universe’s healing energy.
Tell the Crow what you want, what do you want to manifest.
Remembering all the time the key to manifesting is to act like you already have it by feeling like you do.
By this I mean, focus on how the thing makes you feel – happy, free, at ease, excited, expansive…
All those feelings, keep feeling them and let them expand through your body and out into the universe.
What you give out, you receive.
Give out the feelings of love and all the good stuff and watch it return to you fully.
Perhaps the Crow is one of your spirit guides – after all, they’re not always human.
Ask yourself;
- What message does the Crow have for you?
- Do you feel free as a bird? If not, why?
- What can I do to bring more freedom into my life?
A final message
Peace, spirituality and magic.
It’s through peace (and contemplation) that we discover our spirituality (intuition & higher self) and then the magic (manifestation) begins to unfold.
What a beautiful message for the Summer Solstice.
