At the Heart of the Year: Summer Solstice, SASS & The Fire Within!

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Have you noticed how quickly we arrived here?

One moment we were setting intentions beneath January skies and now we find ourselves standing at the very heart of the year. Halfway through 2026. Halfway through the dreams, detours, surprises, lessons and unexpected adventures that have shaped your journey so far.

Before we rush headlong into the second half of the year, I want to invite you to pause for a moment. Take a breath. No, really. A proper deep breath.

Life isn’t happening next week. It isn’t waiting at the bottom of your to-do list, and it certainly isn’t hiding in some mythical future where everything is finally sorted out. Life is happening right here, in this moment, and this moment only.

Adding to the magic of the month, we had a New Moon in Gemini on June 14th. Gemini is curious, playful and always asking questions. It encourages us to explore possibilities, look at things from a different perspective and remain open to what wants to emerge next.

Then, on June 21st, Summer Solstice—also known as Litha—arrives.

The longest day of the year.

The season of illumination.

The moment when the Sun stands in the fullness of its power and the world is drenched in light.

And the fire in you wants to burn with the Sun. To light up and beam out as far as humanly possible.

And why not?

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “Jenny, I haven’t the foggiest idea what you’re talking about or how to work with all this energy.”

Not a problem, gorgeous one. I’ve got you covered.

In fact, there are two beautiful ways you can journey with the energy of Summer Solstice this year.

The first is the Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice Guide, fondly referred to as SASS because honestly, who doesn’t need a little more SASS in their life? This beautifully crafted 40+ page guide is packed with rituals, spells, stories, crystal work, journal prompts, seasonal wisdom, a glorious guided visualisation and enough Summer Solstice magic to help you reconnect with your own inner fire.

And if you’d like something a little more personal, after a lovely natter with my guides we’ve opened two special Summer Solstice readings: Your Solstice Light and The Fire Within.

There will be just 21 spaces available between now and the end of June for these Solstice offerings.

And a little heads-up, gorgeous one.

These will be the last special readings I’ll be offering for a while.

As many of you know, these weekly readings have been a beloved part of our journey together for a very long time. At the end of June they’ll be taking a pause while I step into some deeper work that has been calling to me for quite some time.

I’m not disappearing, not by a long shot. In fact, quite the opposite.

The work is deepening, the conversations are deepening, and the magic is deepening too.

Just as the Wheel turns after Summer Solstice and gently invites us inward, I find myself being called into a season of creating, listening, learning and tending what wants to emerge next.

There are whispers of new offerings, deeper teachings and fresh ways of working that are beginning to take shape, although they are not quite ready to step into the light just yet.

Truthfully, I’m not entirely sure what the next chapter looks like, but Summer Solstice has always been about trusting the light enough to take the next step, even when you can’t yet see the entire path stretching out before you.

So if you’ve been feeling the nudge to book a reading, this Solstice portal may be the perfect opportunity.

Think of it as a beautiful pause between chapters as we discover what wants to be written next.

Now before I tell you more about those offerings, let’s talk about why Summer Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years.

Thematically, this celebration is about power, strength, illumination, confidence, energy, joy, self-acknowledgement and, of course, glorious Faerie revels.

It is a time to celebrate how far you’ve come and to reflect upon the growth that has brought you here.

This is the moment in our year when the greatest amount of light is available to us. Spiritually speaking, it is often when we can see ourselves most clearly. The Sun represents consciousness, awareness and the life force that animates all things.

At Summer Solstice, a doorway in time opens.

Our ancestors knew this.

For thousands of years they gathered around sacred fires, honoured the land, offered gratitude and marked this powerful turning of the Wheel. They understood that this was a sacred threshold, a moment suspended between what has been and what is yet to come.

Litha is a grand portal of energy, possibility and opportunity. A chance to release fears, doubts and insecurities. A chance to remember who you are and step forward in faith.

Yet there is another piece to this story.

After the Sun reaches its greatest power, it begins its slow descent. Little by little the nights begin to lengthen and the Wheel starts turning toward autumn’s harvest and winter’s rest.

Which makes this moment especially precious.

Summer Solstice is one of the last great energetic doorways of the year to activate sacred intentions before we begin moving inward once more. It is an opportunity to dream expansively and ask yourself what wants to grow, what is calling for your attention and what vision will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns.

And this is precisely why I created SASS and why my guides were so insistent about opening these readings.

Because just like the Sun, you have your own Inner Fire.

Your Inner Fire is the fierce, powerful, badass part of you. The part that keeps showing up. The part that dares to dream. The part that believes there might be something more. The part that is willing to do the sacred work of bringing those dreams into reality.

In the same way that crops cannot flourish without the Sun, your life cannot flourish without tending the flame within.

So let’s honour it. Let’s feed it.

Let’s ignite it so you can beam like the glorious beastie you are.

Okay, enough chuntering from me. Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

These beautiful Faeries have stepped forward to share their wisdom as we move toward Summer Solstice. So place your hand upon your heart, take a glorious deep breath and when you’re ready choose the card—or cards—that call to you.

Did you remember to pick? Excellent!

Let’s go take a little look-see, shall we?

HUMMINGBIRD DREAMS

The Smallest

Even those who seem the least to us have their dreams.  The tiniest and the weakest have their place in the Universe just as we do.  They have a special job that only they can do, a place that only they can fill.  There is no one being that is more important or more worthy than another, regardless of the form in which they choose to express themselves in life.

We marvel at the tiniest hummingbird.  How can it move its wings so rapidly that it can hover in one spot and then fly off in a split second?  What strength and agility it has.  What diving form!  It’s hard to believe that something so tiny can bring so much beauty and wonder.

If you are feeling small and insignificant, remember your uniqueness. The only shoes you have to fill are your own and they fit you just fine!

There are no insignificant people, none who are less whole than another.  Eliminate prejudices and judgements whether cast upon yourself or another.  If you feel that someone is not up to your standards, then realise that is what you are projecting upon them.

Change your perception and see them truly as they are…a reflection of the Divine, just as you are.

Spirit expresses through us all in its own way.  It’s not for us to second-guess.  

If you are feeling less than whole, remember your divine birth and take comfort in knowing that you are divinely perfect.  Pursue your dreams and know that you are divinely guided.  Have faith in your dreams and your abilities.

I am a unique being.

There is no other like me.

My purpose is my own to fulfil.

No one else can do this.

Spirit expresses through me,

In a way that only I can give expression.

My gifts to the world are mine alone to give.

I am in divine harmony with all life.

So be it!

Take time to notice the smallest things today.  

ALWAYS

Infinity

Let’s speak of Infinity.  To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been…and always will be.  You are part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe.  Your spirit and your soul are immortal.

As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.  You are always connected to the Source.

You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.

You may have a wish for a special person in your life who will promise to always be there for you.

First, you must always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not.  Those you thought were true were not.  Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship and do please remember the elementals that are helping you along the way.

Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

I ever was,

I always will be.

I am Infinity.

My soul reaches out far beyond this shell,

Within me Spirit has a place to dwell.

I am.

So be it!

Play a song that lights you up over and over again.

LIGHTING THE WAY

Illumination

We all wish for guidance and help along the way, yet sometimes guidance comes from within.  When we connect to the energy of Spirit that resides within each of us, we see clearly what we are to do.  Reach for the stars!  

Allow that communication with Spirit to connect you to your highest good.

Connecting to Spirit is as easy as recognising that you are already one with the Universal Power.  Strengthen your trust in your Divinity.  

Ultimately, you are to be the one who shows others the way.  You hold the light for them as they climb the path of illumination.  

In order to do so you must continue your own journey in learning and refining your own truth.  It is only through example that we can change our world, one person at a time.  But if enough people hold the light, in enough places, we can bring about change at a much more advanced rate.  

This glorious faery holds the lantern for all to see, so that anyone who wishes to climb the path can better see the footholds and avoid the pitfalls.  She has reached the highest peak.  Her face shows that she takes her job seriously.  

Guidance can come in many forms…the words of a friend or loved one, or of a professional counselor.  Guidance can come from a book or a stranger’s words.  

Listen to what information comes your way, then sit with it and meditate on it.  You will get a sense as to whether it is valid for you or not, if you are open and willing to hear your truth.  You may be destined to teach or counsel others.

Each step of my journey is illuminated and sure.

I move with trust and confidence.

I welcome the chance to light the way for others.

I hold the light high.

So be it!

Light a candle for someone today!

Woosah! What glorious guides for this time – whoot, whoot! Remember to be present, remember to treasure yourself as the gorgeous gift you are and remember to ignite your Inner Fire at Solstice. And if it resonates for you to go deeper, pick up a copy of SASS, or take one of the 21 spots so we can get personal – or both!

Big love and squeezes.
