Wednesday June 27th 2012, 11:28 pmJuno is typically known as the goddess of marriage. Interestingly the month of June is named for her. So this comes as no coincidence that so many weddings take place in this month, hence the commonly known phrase or term, A June Wedding. But June is also interesting in that it acts as a halfway point of the year, its end beginning the transition toward the end of another cycle. Marriage is just one type of cycle for lives to take. Also there is information purporting that some of the longest days of the year are in June. Sort of symbolic with the idea that we wish people who marry to live long happy lives. June 1st also acts as a marriage between the northern hemisphere and the southern, marking changes in weather between the two, but come together on the same day. June 1st is the first day of summer and winter, either depends on your geographical location, a marriage of summer with winter on the same day. The northern hemisphere quite often views the first day of summer as June 1st, and the southern hemisphere will commonly view June 1st as the beginning of winter, so the seasons cross, sharing a beginning that signifies change. I also find this symbolic for the idea of marriage, as two individuals come to together to start a new life as a union, celebrated on a single day.
