Song 1: “Feels Like Summer” by Samuel Jack

Lyrics: “Now that winters come and gone, I’m seventeen again, my heart is beating stronger. And every time I think of you, it’s taking me back there, taking me back there, and it feels like summer.”

Your Cards: Page of Cups (reversed), The Hierophant, The Star

In its reversed position, the Page of Cups tells me that in the past, it was a challenge for you to feel motivated. You may have been down and gloomy, and you were struggling to find fulfilling connections with others. This is your past card, the one that tells me how you’ve been feeling leading up to this Summer Solstice. 

The Hierophant is a major arcana tarot card, so it holds important lessons with long-lasting impact. It represents religion, spirituality, traditions, and group consciousness. You’ve been craving authentic connection and structure, and there is something entering your life – such as a church, class, or job – that provides you with both. This group or organization appeared very recently, or else it will arrive soon around the Summer Solstice. Lean into your community and spiritual practices – this is exactly what you need, and it’s right on time. Connecting with others and something greater than ourselves is a great source of comfort and inspiration.

The Star is another major arcana tarot card, and it tells me what’s coming up for you after the Summer Solstice. It represents hope, joy, optimism, and a bright future! The foundations you are laying now in your community and spiritual practices will help you build the life of your dreams. Keep up the amazing work you’re doing now – you are exactly where you need to be, and you have a beautiful future ahead of you!

Song 2: “Summertime Sadness” by Lana Del Rey

Lyrics: “Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness. I just wanted you to know that baby, you’re the best. I got that summertime, summertime sadness.”

Your Cards: 7 of Cups, 2 of Wands, Knight of Wands

The 7 of Cups tells me that in the recent past, you’ve had several opportunities and decisions to make. You fantasized about the future without having concrete plans to turn your daydreams into reality. Although you had plenty of options, you lacked focus or a clear vision of how you wanted to move forward. 

The 2 of Wands tells me that now, you’re getting serious about your life and future. The Summer Solstice sees you reaching beyond your comfort zone to explore opportunities you were a bit lethargic and ambivalent about in the past. You’ve gotten to know yourself and your desires better, and you’re ready to pursue your dreams. Around the Summer Solstice, you will find the confidence and clarity needed to take action. 

Soon after the Solstice, your life will pick up speed and start moving at a rapid pace! The Knight of Wands tells me that once you start working toward your goals, you’ll gain so much momentum that there will be no stopping you. The hardest part is deciding which path you want to pursue, and you’re in the stage now where that’s becoming clear. Once you’ve made your choice and feel good about it, you will be well on your way to creating the life of your dreams.

Song 3: “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift

Lyrics: “It’s new, the shape of your body. It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got. And it’s ooh, woah-oh, it’s a cruel summer. It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em, no rules in breakable heaven. But ooh, woah-oh, it’s a cruel summer with you.”

Your Cards: 6 of Pentacles, Ace of Wands, The Hermit

The 6 of Pentacles symbolizes generosity – this represents you or someone in your recent past. You were very giving and gracious with loved ones, or you relied on the benevolence of others. Either way, reciprocity and codependency were major themes in your life.

The Ace of Wands tells me that the Summer Solstice will mark a significant turning point for you! You are approaching exciting new beginnings, and you must boldly embrace the opportunities that come your way. You’re being called to stretch outside your comfort zone to move forward. If you were codependent or too reliant on others in the past, you’re learning how to stand on your own. If you depleted yourself by giving too much without setting boundaries, you’re exploring taking care of your own needs and putting yourself first. The lessons you’re learning during this transition are more exciting and energizing than stressful.

The Hermit is a major arcana tarot card, meaning it holds important lessons with lasting impact. It represents time alone and introspection. This reveals that, soon after the Summer Solstice, you will be entering a phase of solitude. It’s a very positive thing – rather than feeling lonely, time alone will enhance your feelings of independence. You’re learning to trust and rely on yourself, and to take space from those who drain you.
