The deep silence of winter reflects our own inner stillness.
The Moon shining on lakes,
Calming our Heart
Submerged in the waters of Spirit.
This magical time corresponds to the birth of the Sun. After the darkest night, the Sun begins its growth cycle, even in the depth of winter. ❄️ The stillness invites us to be reborn, along with the Sun.
Traditionally, it is an important time of rituals. Joining universal forces in community, gathering support at this solar/year time of transformation, has been part of world traditions from the beginning. Christmas, Yule, the Druid fire, lit at winter Solstice, that would feed other fires, never allowed to extinguish.
This year, the Solstice sun is joined by Mercury retrograde (12/13) at 6 degrees Capricorn. The Moon has entered Taurus ♉️ , in conjunction with Jupiter at 5 degrees. Both form an Earth trine (harmonious aspect) to the Capricorn ♑️ Sun/Mercury: a ground for building ♑️ relationships and alliances ♉️ in very concrete fashion. The emphasis is certainly focused on the Earth element 🌏. Saturn and Venus. Capricorn and Taurus. A new structure for our relationships (Venus). 💚
Mercury retrograde in Capricorn (12/12/23 to 1/1/24) emphasizes the season’s invitation to self reflection, reframing, rebuilding an essential part of ourselves. Decisions made, actions taken since the last Mercury retrograde in Virgo (Sept. ) especially come up for re-vision. Taking the opportunity to seek our inner wisdom in silence allows us to intentionally participate in the huge transition humanity is going through. To have a positive effect, to provide a source of Inspiration.
Seek out Solitude in this unique solar cycle. Where lies my next Path? How do I seek it out and walk with compassion and kindness?
