☀️ OVERVIEW

Quintilis marks the height of the Sun’s journey through the sky. The Earth is hot, the light is strong, and the power of visibility, voice, and presence is at its peak. This is the time of the Solar Sovereign—the fully awakened soul standing upright in their dignity, strength, and divine command.

In ancient Rome, this was originally the fifth month, hence the name Quintilis, and later became "Julius" in honor of Julius Caesar. But before empire and conquest, this month was sacred to the solar deities, lion-hearted heroes, and divine children of the Sun.

In your Awakening Ecclesia Calendar, Quintilis is the time to step into divine leadership, not through domination, but through radiant authenticity and sacred responsibility.
