5 Ways to be the sun

Summer Solstice – Ignite Your Inner Flame – Your Internal Sun!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Manifesting, Merry, Magnificent Monday!

Solstice is here in 2 days!!!!  And for all of those who have asked – YES!  There are a few spots open for the Solstice Reading Special (which ends on June 22nd), and YES!  The Solstice guides will be available until June 23rd.  

We have literally just had the Gemini New Moon -with Gemini ruling over communication, the New Moon in this sign emphasizes the importance of effective self-expression.

So with all that swirling around – Let me ask – how are you feeling?

Right now the Sun is at the height of its power. And so are you.

This month, with the sun at its height–its peak–your own corresponding, internal flame has the potential to also reach its peak.

Your own inner flame–your internal sun–represents your confidence, you drive, your ability to create & take action in the outer world. All these things are being affected by the outer sun; and all these things have the potential to reach new heights this month.  (Melded with your ability to express yourself and communicate.)

Think about it, in our Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice is the longest day and the start of the heat of the summer.  The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created. 

It’s the Heart of creation.

This energy invites you to lead from your heart, find your voice, to guide, to shine and share your heart, words, work and all sorts.  (Are you ready?)  If you need some ideas on how to be like the sun on Solstice, I have 5 of them for you.  

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. 

Litha (Summer Solstice)  is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities, a chance to dance with the Fae. After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline. Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice. 

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest. 

It’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself. 

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the Fall. 

If you want to really tap into this potent energy, grab SASS (Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice guide).   

OKay enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to ask which guides wanted to share Solstice with you, these glorious ones came to play, which made me grin.  Now, if these are new to you – please let me introduce them.  

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth.  There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms.  All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us.  We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent.  These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us.  We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves.  There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet.  Remember as you go through  your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it.  The need is never too small to call on their help.  It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development.  We are their work.  We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us.  To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Perfect!

Okay glorious one, take a breath.  Breathe in long and deep and just any shit go.  Breathe into the energy of the sun, the fiery, rich energy.  See the light of the sun filling you from the tips of your toes to the ends of your hair.  Allow it to warm you, fill you, nourish you and help you find your voice and passion.

If you need a wee bit more support, I have a lovely guided visualisation where we go for a wee meander and play.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that ignite your inner flame.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

ACORNS INVITATION

You are being invited to touch the world, to enter into a somatic relationship with the world around and within you.  To experience the vitality of the life force that exists in everything, including you, and including your body, with which you may have a conflicted relationship.

The faeries know that your body is a beautiful sacred expression of the spirit and an essential part of the self.

They teach that when we reach out and touch, not only do we connect with another, but we are touched in return.  Thus through the act of physical communion we are touched, held and nurtured.

It cannot be otherwise.

The impact of touch is so underestimated, but this faery man reminds you that without touch, you can become sad, depressed, unwell and your immune system weakens.

While you are alive in your current form, this faery wants you to know that you must touch and be touched to be whole.  Physicality is your friend.

Hug, hold hands, rub a back, get or give a massage, rub feet and connect.  

Allow a butterfly to alight on your finger.  Pat a dog.  Stroke a cat.  Look into someone’s eyes while you sit with knees touching.  For this touching is healing, and touch has the ability to uplift us, comfort us, soothe us, cure us, and make us vibrate with bliss.  

THE SECRET PATH

Faeries love country paths and wooded ways that twist and bend and take shape, but that are mysterious and very bright and dark, spooky and sweet all at the same time.  

Likewise, your own path must have both light and shade, and it is never straight!

Faeries walk their paths to revive the land, and they take rests at special trees and wells, as do you, in your own way, create magick when you are true to your path.  

You are being drawn down a path that has the potential to lead you to a rich source of wisdom – one danced and sang and dreamt down by these faeries you now see.  These faeries would have been spoken of in the old ways as “trooping” but here we would say they are following their path:  swiftly, joyfully, singing and dancing their way to a destination that will be full of riches and joy, profound learnings and deep initiations.

You are being beckoned again to rejoin your path, and perhaps your first steps will be to wander a little, to travel, and see where the lines of magick within the earth herself take you.  

Paint your body with a little of the earth, and let the earth on you sing to the earth beneath your feet, and soon the song will be alive in your blood again.  

You are also reminded by the faeries that you can walk your path, be dragged along your path, meander from your path, slow down on your path or dance and be joyful on your path.

How you walk it is empowered by your unique self’s intent, and as you already know, intent is the heart of many a matter.  

Take steps again to be on your path.

Reconnect with the song of the land that sings in your blood, and you too, like these beautiful beings, will be called home.  

STAR DUST

This beautiful faery seems somewhat unsettled.  She is listening, waiting, reaching out to the galactic web to try and put together pieces of the information she is receiving.

For she has experienced a premonition, but as these things go for us all, we are never entirely certain of what will happen, and when.  Only that something will happen, and soon.  

And so she reaches out to what we humans have called the heavens.  She looks to the cycles beyond those of this earth and wonders if we are all in the process of major change, a change so profound we have not yet found the words to describe it.  

She understands that the premonition she has is about cycles that reflect those on each, but she is unsure what to make of what she is feeling and sensing.  

So she looks to the night skies, at a time when there is peace, stillness, and quiet, and gazes up above at the lifeforms and planets and the stars and their galaxies, and knows she has lived beyond this dimension, and that what might be reaching her is significant far beyond her life, magickal as it is.

As she gazes up, there are baby stars and dying stars.  There is stardust, which is sent out by the dying stars, and breathed in by the nebulae and used to form their new star-selves. 

This is a true premonition.  It is not an empathic moment, where she feels the strange feelings and sensations of another.  She has had a postcard from the future, and from a place far beyond her home.  And so she waits and knows that while her premonition is as ephemeral as light as stardust, she knows too that it is powerful, and will create ripples throughout all time, and all places.  

It’s time for you to return to source and rewrite the soul contract so that you can change and move into a new stage of life, a new incarnation.  

In order to make sense of these feelings,  you may need to be alone and in the dark, dancing with the night sky to work something out.  

Seek connection in the night sky – when you can see other constellations and galaxies – and understand your own stardust self and origins.  

Allow the clues and messages to come, don’t worry about the clarity right now.

Yummers!  May you light your inner flame gorgeous one and use your voice, heart and soul to express your unique glorious self.  May the sun remind you of how strong you are and have a glorious Solstice!  Sunbeam kisses and big hugs.   

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun at Solstice.

Jenny Heston · 5:45 pm ·

Summer solstice, also known as Litha, is the longest day of the year, but it’s only the very beginning of the summer months with the hottest weather yet to come.

Litha is one of the eight traditional Pagan holidays when daytime energies are at their strongest, radiating mega-doses of vitality and love.

The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created. It’s the Heart of creation. The Sun never fails to shine, always “rises” to meet us, and sustains life on Earth.

This year, Litha falls on June 21st – a time when those of us who practice magic speak of drawing down the Sun. This means connecting with prana or life force, both within and without.

To draw down or bring out the Sun means harnessing radiant solar energies in order to have the confidence to let yourself shine and be seen. It’s affirming that you’re strong, vibrant, loving, warm, and filled with light.

Litha is the Sun’s day, and the Sun is the center of our solar system. It brings us all back to our center, to our hearts, and the creative source of everything.

The Sun rules the passionate, creative, and proud sign, Leo. 

Leo is motivated to share and lead from the heart and become the brightest, fullest version of itself. With the Sun at its maximum power, Litha’s the perfect time to recognize all the things, small and large, that you’ve created and shared with others. 

It’s also time to honor the leader within you and how you continue to express more of your most authentic self. 

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest. I

t’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself.

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall. 

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun 

1. Be the Light

The Sun is a star, and its job is to shine! So is yours, in your unique ways. No matter what happens around you, you always have a choice to see, be, and share the light. What I mean by light is love. Whatever you’re doing and wherever you are, choose that love and give it away freely. There’s no prescription for how this looks, so get creative and just do you – in the truest, sincere, most authentic ways you know.

2. Take the Lead

Solar energy is motivating and naturally attracts attention. Use that power for good and be the best example you can. You may not own a business or directly work with large groups, but people look to you. Notice who they are and think about what they see. Every time your inner sun comes into someone else’s field, it makes an impact. It radiates its energy and infuses people, spaces, and places. Be a leader with your energy and set an example worthy of following.

3. Co-Create

The Sun represents the principle of co-creation and animates the entire zodiac. It doesn’t exist alone and wouldn’t mean anything without the rest of the solar system to interact with. In the tarot, The Sun card is about working with others in ways that inspire you and the world. To be like the Sun is to find people who share your passions and bring all that energy together to make something purposeful. Creatives need each other to stay creative. We’re not meant to do this alone. Find a way to connect and make something exciting happen.

4. Act with Integrity

What do I mean by integrity? I mean acting from wholeness by integrating body, mind, heart, and spirit. Most simply, you act with integrity when you’re true to yourself. It’s so easy to think or feel a certain way but act another, which causes a division within you. Some animals, like horses, are especially sensitive to this inauthenticity. They can feel the conflict and won’t trust someone who’s acting out of alignment with their emotional energy – like pretending to be tough when truly afraid. Integrity takes personal work, practice, and honesty. To act with integrity, you have to be honest about where you’re at and what you’re doing. When you know your ego is reacting, own it. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not or commit to doing something you’re not ready to do. Be honest about your feelings, even if it’s a little uncomfortable. 

In astrology, the Sun is the planet of integration. Your Sun Sign is the energy through which you’re integrating yourself. If you’re a Libra, it all comes together through relationships, balancing extremes, and cooperation. If you’re a Sagittarius, it all comes together through searching to find more meaning and following your true path. We’re all in the process of integrating our higher and lower selves. With awareness and practice, you can align your thoughts and actions with your heart and higher mind.  

5. Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra or Manipura color is bright yellow, like the Sun. This center is located just above your belly button and is the powerhouse of your energy system. Balancing this chakra helps you confidently stand and act in your power. If your Solar Plexus Chakra is underactive, you might feel powerless or uncertain. If it’s overactive, you might become overpowering and arrogant. Humility is part of this chakra’s medicine. True strength is humility. This chakra is also where you manifest all the things you create. You can think of your Solar Plexus Chakra as the Sun, radiating warmth and light into life. Activate this energy center to rest assured of your capabilities and to make things happen for yourself. Below are some tremendous Solar Plexus herbs, oils, stones, deities, and mantras you can work with.

Solar Plexus Herbs/Oils: Calendula, cumin, helichrysum, lemon, neroli, turmeric   

Solar Plexus Stones: Sunstone, yellow aventurine, pyrite, yellow apatite, citrine, golden healer quartz, tiger’s eye

Solar Plexus Deities: Agni, Athena, Ma’at, Pele, Ra, Sekhmet, Xiuhtecuhtli 

Solar Plexus Mantras: 

“I am strong, capable, and powerful.” 

“I stand in my power.”

“I am the leader of my life.”

In Closing

If you want to delve deeper into how to welcome Solstice and harness that energy, grab your copy of SASS.

However you choose to welcome summer, and long past it, I hope you’ll find ways to grow and feed the light for the benefit of us all.

May you feel on the deepest level how powerful you are – how your energy and the way you run it make an impact. May you use your light to inspire and empower others. May we all choose the wisdom of love. From my heart to yours, happy Litha.

March is HERE and I am doing a full kitchen happy March is HERE and I am doing a full kitchen happy dance. 💃🌸

Equinox is coming — the season of BIRTH.
New dreams. New strength. New ways of standing in your power.

And this week’s Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo?

She’s asking us to simplify, steady our nervous system, and build real resilience from the inside out.

Calm in the chaos.
Heart-led. Sovereign.

I’ve written about it — and your guides are waiting. ✨

Canada may have taken silver in hockey, but they g Canada may have taken silver in hockey, but they get gold in the Leadership Olympics.

On one side: a president who normalizes misogyny, makes everything about him, and posts slop AI fantasy footage of himself scoring the winning goal.

On the other: Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, a former Harvard goalie, who stepped onto the ice with the Edmonton Oilers last spring, practiced, praised the players, and called the experience “awesome” and “amazing.”

One is the underskilled, cocky player nobody wants to play with.

The other understands he’s part of a team.

More importantly, Carney refused to be bullied by Trump’s trade wars and has developed new trade partners in response to the president’s unconstitutional tariffs. 

Oh, and he’s not a p3do.

The bar is literally in hell.

We are shedding the year of the wood snake (slow, We are shedding the year of the wood snake (slow, deliberate, deep introspection) and moving into the year of the fire horse (fast, momentum, fiery pursuit) in Chinese astrology (Feb 2026). 

In numerology, we are leaving a 9 year (completions, endings, closures) and moving into a 1 year (beginnings, new chapters, starting over) beginning Jan 1st. 

I’ve felt every transition deeply lately. It’s almost surreal. 

I don’t know about you, but I’ll be following the gentle pace of the horse. Determined and yet not burnt out. That’s my 2026 goals. What about you?

If you’ve spent the last 12 months feeling like yo If you’ve spent the last 12 months feeling like you’re crawling through the in-between, this is for you.

In Chinese astrology, 2025 was Snake Year. And Snake Year is about shedding.

Peeling back layers. Releasing what’s complete. Letting go of old identities. Questioning everything you thought you knew.

And if you felt like you were crawling through the mountains for 12 months—like everything was falling apart, like you didn’t know who you were anymore—that wasn’t failure.

That was the shed.

You weren’t stuck. You were transforming.

And they say the harder your Snake Year was, the more explosive your Horse Year will be.

Horse Year (starting Feb 17) is about movement. Action. Momentum. Speed.

Everything you’ve been waiting for? It’s about to accelerate.

The clarity you’ve been chasing? It’s coming.

The life you’ve been building? It’s about to click into place.

The version of you that’s been emerging? She’s about to take the lead.

So if you’re entering this feeling exhausted, raw, and uncertain—good.

That means you did the work.

Now get ready. We gallop on the 17th.
🔥 Ring of Fire Eclipse + Year of the Fire Horse?! 🔥 Ring of Fire Eclipse + Year of the Fire Horse?!

Oh we are not playing small in 2026.

This is bold.
This is catalytic.
This is “darling, it’s time.”

Unexpected doors.
Sudden clarity.
Leaps before you feel fully ready.

But remember — courage without burnout, passion without drama. Tend your flame.

Curious what’s opening for you?
Come read the full post and meet your guides.

🔥 Let’s walk through the fire beautifully.

Bad luck? Sweetheart… this is Goddess territory — and the only thing rising is your magick. 🌙✨

None of this is new. It’s just newly visible on a None of this is new.
It’s just newly visible on a mass scale.

Staying sane now means learning how to see corruption clearly without becoming it.

What we’re witnessing is not an accidental exposure of truth. It’s not an ‘oops’ info leak moment. 

Its a deliberately curated public ritual of moral inversion. 

A slow collective grooming of conscience, where what initially shocks gets repeated and flooded into daily awareness until it becomes habitual, tolerable and eventually normalised.

When sinister contradictions are performed publicly again and again its basically an invitation to adapt, lower standards, dissociate and mirror what you see. It’s an emotional exhaustion trap.

Not to mention the figures and systems that are elevated as moral representatives or centralised standards of conduct, only to corrupt and decay on a public stage. 

It’s not accidental. Its subliminal conditioning. 

By publicly collapsing certain individuals, the aim is to collapse the values or beliefs the collective psyche had attached to them. From institutional ideals to spiritual frameworks, and many shared human ethics in between. 

Thats the inversion.

Certain figures are elevated, then offered as sacrificial lambs. Their fall is meant to preserve the structure and take the values attached to them down too.

But ideas dont just expire because their representatives betray them!!! I think the task here is to reclaim / embody values that were never outside to begin with and stop outsourcing our sense of safety and direction.

Recognising the pattern clearly is the beginning of choice.

It is an opportunity to see what is being reflected and embody something different.
To not let hope collapse but instead to let the collapse of illusion refine it.

To root deeper into art, community, solidarity, moral clarity, ancestral wisdom, decentralised sustenance, organised mutual aid systems.

These are our tools. 
In action (not just here in pretty words).

To me the power of the warrior comes from inner alignment that holds under pressure, a fierce sense of justice, and values that dont decompose when the systems around us do. 

Love will win.
I sat down to write about Valentine’s Day… and got I sat down to write about Valentine’s Day… and got a cosmic smack down instead.

We’re in the final week of the Year of the Snake, Chinese New Year is approaching, and a Solar Eclipse is stirring everything awake — aka shedding season.

While the world shouts about roses and romance, the real invitation right now is to fall wildly (and intentionally) in love with yourself.

Real nourishment. Real devotion. Real magick.

This week’s reading is your nudge to honour your heart, your body, and your becoming — plus a gentle self-love ritual to anchor it all.
