In astrology circles, this alignment on the solstice is major. There have been several majors leading up to it (including the big one at the end of January that marked the impeachment and also kicked off COVID) but this one is supposed to usher in a massive global transformation. Like... even more major than the "pandemic."
And if you're not into astrology, then astronomically it's pretty cool too.
