The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and occurs in 2010 on June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere; and on December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are 2 solstices: summer in the Northern Hemisphere; and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Remember that the Summer Solstice in one of the hemispheres equates to the Winter Solstice in the other hemisphere. The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year.

[Mr. H.]

This is the time of the rose, blossom and thorn, fragrance and blood. Now on this longest day, light triumphs, and yet begins the decline into the dark. The Sun King grown embraces the Queen of Summer in the love that is death because it is so complete that all dissolves into the single song of ecstasy that moves the worlds. So the Lord of Light dies to Himself, and sets sail across the dark seas of time, searching for the isle of light that is rebirth. We turn the Wheel and share his fate, for we have planted the seeds of our own changes and to grow we must accept even the passing of the sun.
