I had planned to do the solstice ritual for gratitude to the land, that I posted here recently, on the solstice, but circumstances intervened and we will be away that weekend. Nothing bad - we got an invitation from a cousin to join them in Florida to celebrate my aunt’s 90th birthday.
So I’m still planning to do my ritual, but it will be a couple of days before the actual solstice.
And I learned something else today on space.com
“Each year, June’s full moon treads a predictably low path across the spring sky due to its close proximity to the summer solstice — the time of the year when the sun is at its highest. This year’s Strawberry Moon will ride exceptionally low — the lowest in decades according to stargazing site Earthsky.org — thanks in part to a phenomenon that sees the moon’s tilted orbit dragged around by the sun’s gravitational influence.”
