Change is in the air! Many members of my community are birthing new things, from babies to projects to new family structures. The energy feels full of possibility. Old identities and roles are melting away and new ways of being are emerging.

Transition is a powerful time - it's the pregnant pause between letting go of one role and stepping into something new. If given attention and space, transitions can be full of magic and possibility. There's often an impulse to rush through transitions -

Recently, looking for inspiration I pulled out my Faeries’ Oracle deck (by Brian Froud and Jessica Macbeth). The faerie cards always bring a smile to my face and a twinkle to my eye. They are beautiful, full of magic and mischief, and always have wisdom and healing to share. They remind me to lighten up and not take myself (or others) too seriously. They inspire me to be true to myself, live a life of love and to play. They connect me to the little girl in me who believed in magic and faeries.

Imagine my surprise when I drew card #53:

Summer solstice is here! It's time to celebrate sun's light and warmth as we transition to summer.

Just as winter is a time to go within, summer invites us out to play. This is a time for creativity and producing, for being an active co-creator in life. We are all learning to be our own authority so we can live more expansively and be true co-creators. We *are* the ones we've been waiting for. This is a time to identify what no longer serves us and to free ourselves from old beliefs and ways of being. Offer these to the sun, allow fire to transform them!
