Contents of the unconscious
arise out of the forest
of darkness. The feminine
reflective nature of being
encounters with the solar fiery
elementals as being the warm
energies belonging to the
masculine polarity of the soul.
Yin meets Yang on the eve
when night and day are in
balanced equilibrium.

Thanks for giving me a chance to be right...It doesn't happen all that often... The days when day and night are of equal length are on the Spring an Fall Equinox. The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are respectively the longest and shortest days of the year.......cheers

No, thats the Equalnox(s). In the northern hemisphere the summer solstice is the most daylight, and the shortest night. Days will start getting shorter from here on out. On the Equalnoxes days and nights are each 12 hours long anywhere on the globe.

Significance of the summer solstice:
In pre-historic times, summer was a joyous time of the year for those Aboriginal people who lived in the northern latitudes. The snow had disappeared; the ground had thawed out; warm temperatures had returned; flowers were blooming; leaves had returned to the deciduous trees. Some herbs could be harvested, for medicinal and other uses. Food was easier to find. The crops had already been planted and would be harvested in the months to come. Although many months of warm/hot weather remained before the fall, they noticed that the days were beginning to shorten, so that the return of the cold season was inevitable.
The first (or only) full moon in June is called the Honey Moon. Tradition holds that this is the best time to harvest honey from the hives.
This time of year, between the planting and harvesting of the crops, was the traditional month for weddings. This is because many ancient peoples believed that the "grand [sexual] union" of the Goddess and God occurred in early May at Beltaine. Since it was unlucky to compete with the deities, many couples delayed their weddings until June. June remains a favorite month for marriage today. In some traditions, "newly wed couples were fed dishes and beverages that featured honey for the first month of their married life to encourage love and fertility. The surviving vestige of this tradition lives on in the name given to the holiday immediately after the ceremony: The Honeymoon."

In our northern hemisphere, the exact time of the solstice is 6:06pm today (June 21)

My daughter and I celebrated every day that way, before she moved out to start her own life. There wasn't always frozen yogurt, but there was always a hug, at least once a day. Now she's 300 km away, so hugs don't work like they used to, but we can still do virtual hugs...
