Seasonal and Astrological Influences

June marks the arrival of the Summer Solstice (Litha), the longest day of the year, when the sun is at its peak. This is a time of celebration, vitality, and power, making it ideal for crafts that honor the sun, fire energy, and personal strength.

Astrologically, June begins in airy Gemini, a sign of communication, curiosity, and adaptability, before transitioning into nurturing Cancer, which brings themes of home, intuition, and emotional connection. These energies lend themselves well to crafts that encourage expression, creativity, and emotional healing.

Key Influences for June’s Crafting:

• Sun & Fire Energy – Honor the warmth and power of the sun with solar-inspired crafts.
