Thursday 12/21/23--solstice/Capricorn

Sun at the low point of our seasonal cycle, winter solstice in the north (7:28pm PT), shortest day of year, into the grounded realism and constructive nature power of Capricorn. From here the angle of the Sun will rise in our sky, days getting longer, the energy of vitality emerging. We will need to get through the isolating challenge of winter, but a big spring of amplified fertility is coming. 

This year at solstice the Moon is out ahead in earthy Taurus, leading the way toward the big spring to come. Mental Mercury and expansive Jupiter are both retrograde, internalizing, until the first of the year, charging up with new potential that will soon be expressing. Quiet and reflective now, a return to simplicity, good for Christmas, a seasonal celebration of precious togetherness (turned into a church holiday for some), the birth of renewal. 

We hit the bottom of our natural process and embrace the return of nurturing light into our world.
