Mid-Year Vibe Audit: Crystals, Cosmic Check-Ins & Summer Soul Shine
A magical (and fun) guide to refreshing your energy, reclaiming your power, and vibing high for the second half of the year.
Welcome to the Great Cosmic Check-In
So here we are; June. The halfway mark. The moment your soul gently taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey… how's that year of yours going?”
It’s also my birth month (hi, fellow Cancers!), and the energy right now? It's solar-charged, full of potential, and whispering to us to realign with what truly matters.
We’re halfway through 2025, and while time seems to move at the speed of moonlight (fast, but still kinda dreamy), the energy of June invites us to pause for a soulful self-check. Not the heavy kind. Not the “I should be farther by now” spiral. Nope. This is your permission slip for a refresh, not a full-on reinvention.
Think of this as a mid-year vibe tune-up: no pressure, just presence. We’re tapping into the warm light of the Summer Solstice, the power of intention, and a few crystal allies who are more than ready to shine with you.
Let’s make some magic, shall we?
Solstice Sparkle: The Longest Day = The Brightest Light
Around June 20–21, we hit the Summer Solstice the longest day of the year. Spiritually, this is when the veil lifts, the light amplifies, and our intentions stretch a little farther into the universe. It’s a power portal for releasing old baggage and activating what’s next.
Pro Tip: The solstice energy actually pulses for about three days before and after, so there’s no rush. Use this energetic window to realign and refresh your inner world.
Solstice Ritual #1
Your Soul’s Mid-Year Reset
The Summer Solstice a moment to honor your personal growth and recalibrate your energy. Let's align with this high-frequency solar portal:
What You’ll Need:
-
A candle (gold or white works beautifully)
-
1–3 of your favorite crystals
-
A piece of paper and pen
Ritual Steps:
-
Light your candle and sit in a quiet space with your crystals nearby.
-
Reflect: What have you released this year? What are you calling in now?
-
Write down three things you’re grateful for—and three intentions for the rest of the year.
-
Speak your intentions out loud. Hold your crystals and say:
“I am aligned with the light. I release what no longer serves, and I welcome all that’s meant for me.” -
Blow out the candle with gratitude.
Solstice Ritual #2
Have You Ever Tried Blue Solar Water? Let’s Talk Sunlight, Hydration & Magic
It’s exactly what it sounds like water + sunshine + a beautiful cobalt blue bottle = high-vibe hydration for your soul. This isn’t just trendy wellness; it’s a legit energetic reset, and it’s perfect for riding the wave of the Summer Solstice.
Let’s dive into what it is, where it comes from, how to make it, and why you might just fall in love with this crystal-clear ritual.
What Is Blue Solar Water?
Blue Solar Water (also known as solarized water) is purified water stored in a cobalt blue glass bottle and left to soak in the sunlight infusing the water with both the sun’s energy and the calming frequency of the color blue.
This practice draws inspiration from ancient color therapy traditions and was later popularized in modern spiritual circles, especially within Hawaiian Ho’oponopono teachings. Blue is associated with truth, calm, emotional clarity, and throat chakra balance and as for the sun? Well, it’s basically nature’s energy charger.
How to Make Your Own Blue Solar Water
It’s ridiculously simple:
-
Grab a cobalt blue glass bottle (glass only! no plastic or metal).
-
Fill it with purified or spring water.
-
Remove any metal caps and replace them with a cork, glass, or plastic top.
-
Place the bottle in direct sunlight for 1–3 hours.
(Morning light is gentle and beautiful, but solstice sun? Even better.) -
Optional bonus: Set a Clear Quartz or Aquamarine crystal next to the bottle for an extra energetic boost.
Tip: Don’t put the crystal inside the water unless you’re absolutely sure it’s safe for drinking.
How to Use It:
-
Drink a glass with intention first thing in the morning for energetic clarity.
-
Use it to water your plants, infuse intention in a bath, or spritz around your home.
-
Speak a mantra into it before drinking: “I drink in light, truth, and calm.” or “I receive the light. I release the weight.”
Why It’s Perfect for the Summer Solstice
The Solstice is the most light-filled day of the year it’s a portal for clarity, truth, and soul-alignment. Making Blue Solar Water during this time supercharges your intentions and quite literally helps you drink in the light of the season.
Crystals for Mid-Year Mojo
If your soul had a summer survival kit, these crystals would be in it. Not just for their looks (though, let’s be honest they’re stunning), but for their ability to help you reset and realign.
Here are a few pairings with real energy chemistry:
-
Labradorite + Rainbow Moonstone – The dream team for reflection and vision. Use these during journaling or meditative walks to connect with your intuitive self and reimagine your path forward.
-
Sunstone + Carnelian – When your spark feels more “meh” than “magic,” these two bring heat, confidence, and bold action. Keep them near while making plans, dancing it out, or chasing joy.
-
Smoky Quartz + Black Obsidian – These two are like energetic bodyguards. Let them help you release stale patterns, toxic attachments, or just plain funk.
-
Amazonite + Clear Quartz – A powerful duo for truth-telling, cleansing mental clutter, and finding your flow again.
Fun Fact: Crystals can be sensitive to heat and humidity. Stones like Selenite, Magnetic Hematite, and Lepidolite prefer cool, dry environments—so don’t leave them baking in the summer sun. They’re more spa day than desert hike.
Mantras for Your Mid-Year Soul
You don’t need a two-hour meditation practice to realign sometimes a few soul-anchored words are enough.
Here are a few mantras to carry into your June and beyond:
- “I am exactly where I need to be to begin again.”
- “I don’t chase, I align.”
- “My light doesn’t ask for permission to shine.”
- “The second half is the best half.”
Try saying one while holding a crystal over your heart in the mirror. Speak it out loud. Let your voice remind you of your power.
The Mirror Spell: A Tiny Ritual With Big Energy
This one’s simple. But don’t let the simplicity fool you...it’s potent.
- Choose a crystal that calls to you (Rose Quartz, Amazonite, or Labradorite are great here).
- Stand in front of a mirror.
- Hold the stone and ask yourself:
“What am I ready to leave behind?”
“What energy do I want to bring in?” - Speak your answers aloud. Really. The Universe is always listening.
Repeat the ritual on the Solstice or whenever you feel out of sync.
A Birthday Note from Me
As someone born in June, I’ve always felt this month carries a different kind of magic. There’s celebration, yes but also introspection. It’s a time to both look back and look forward, to honor where we’ve been and get excited about where we’re going.
I created this blog as a love letter to the halfway point, to the wild ones finding their way, and to the subtle power of simply beginning again.
Final Thought: Your Energy is Your Superpower
June isn’t just a page on the calendar it’s a portal. A powerful midpoint that asks: “Are you ready to shift?” Whether you’ve soared through the first half of the year or crawled your way here, the second half is unwritten—and it’s yours to shape.
So grab your favorite crystal, say a mantra, do a little solstice shimmy in the sun, and remember:
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present.
You’ve got this✨🫶🏼
