Summer Season Tarot Cards

Summer solstice is the official start of the summer season and the longest day of the year. It is also the start of Cancer season. For a few days the sun rises before 5:30am ET and sets around 8:30pm ET. We get approximately 15 hours of sunlight!

Summer Season flowers

At Summer Solstice fires are lit to symbolize the sun, life, and fertility. It is a time to bring in more light, love, and laughter. In nature the plants are blossoming with flowers.


Moving forward the days are going into their descent into darkness. Culminating at winter solstice December 21st. For me the descent into autumn is subtle and I hardly notice it until after the equinox in September. At that point the days and the nights will be of equal length.
