June Events
June, named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and the well-being of women, has long been associated with love and celebration. In ancient Rome, Juno was honored as the protector of the state and the guardian of women, especially in matters of matrimony. This association has led to June being a favored month for weddings
The sixth month of the year is the month of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. The day marks the start of summer or winter, depending on where you are.
ASTROLOGY
June 1-20 fall under the air sign Gemini. June 21-30 are under the water sign of Cancer
BIRTHSTONES
The birthstones of June are the pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone, each with its unique lore and beauty. Pearls, symbolizing purity and innocence, have been esteemed since ancient times. The Greeks believed pearls to be the tears of gods in Greek mythology. Alexandrite, a relatively modern gemstone discovered in Russia, changes color under different lighting and symbolizes balance and joy. Moonstone, with its ethereal sheen, is associated with love, passion, and fertility and is believed to bring good fortune
FLOWERS
June's flowers are the rose and honeysuckle. Roses, with their rich variety and intoxicating fragrance, have been symbols of love and appreciation throughout history. They are associated with Juno, adding to June's matrimonial associations. With its fragrant, sweet scent and ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, honeysuckle symbolizes the bonds of love and the sweet nectar of affection.
LEGENDS
Folk legends and customs in June revolve mainly around the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. In many cultures, bonfires and feasting mark the sun's position, a tradition that dates back to pagan times. The summer solstice is considered magical and mystical, where the veil between the world of the spirits and humans is thinnest
A popular legend associated with June is that of the "Midsummer's Eve," a popular tradition in Scandinavian countries. Folklore teaches that on this night, magical flowers bloom, and ferns turn into gold, bringing luck to those who find them. There's also a belief that if young women place flowers under their pillows on Midsummer's Eve, they will dream of their future husbands
June could also be considered the baby-making month in the Southern Hemisphere. The nations of this region tend to see a baby boom annually nine months later.
