June
Though June or Juno is named for the Roman goddess of marriage and children, June is no longer the most popular month of getting married in the United States. It is October! Concerning births, August is the most popular birthing month in the USA. The Latin word for June, “juvenis” or young people, best fits the month’s meaning.
This heralds summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern. Father’s Day, Flag Day, Freedom Day (Juneteenth) are celebrated. Peoples including National Indigenous People’s Day and the anniversary of 1960 Stonewall Riots regarding LGBT rights in the USA will also be celebrated.
Don’t forget June 1st “Say Something Nice Day,” and “National Y0-Yo Day will also be celebrated and at the end of the month “Asteroid Day.”
“There is no year without one Friday the 13th, and no year with more than three. This day is considered the unluckiest of days in many superstitions, unless you were born on Friday the 13th, in which case it is your lucky day. “Friggatriskaidekaphobia” is the fear of Friday the 13th. Some people don’t like the number 13, whether it’s a Friday or not. The fear of the number 13 is called “triskaidekaphobia.” Quite a few skyscrapers and hotels do not have a 13th floor (or a room 13, for that matter), and many buildings substitute 12 1/2 for 13 in their addresses. Winston Churchill wouldn’t travel on Friday the 13th, considering it too unlucky.”
June’s Birth Flowers are the Honeysuckle and the Rose. Note, a yellow rose’s meaning is “jealousy.” The Honeysuckle is better. It refers to “bonds of love, devotion, and generosity.” June’s birthstones happen to be the Pearl, Alexandrite, and Moonstone.
