The winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year and the start of the winter season in the northern hemisphere. After the solstice, each day grows a bit longer and gradually increases in light! Celebrated around the globe in various traditions, the solstice can be a wonderful time for ritual to honor the moment and the gradual return of the light. Astrologically, the Sun enters zero degrees of Capricorn at the winter solstice, featuring a month of more quiet, contained, and purposeful energies. This year, the Sun in Capricorn makes a strong and challenging relationship with optimistic Jupiter, so it could be an especially important time to give thanks for the current level of blessings and protections in your life before identifying any goals and adventures you’d still like to pursue in 2023. Where would you like to visit? What would you like to learn? How would you like to see yourself grow and your opportunities expand in the coming year? The winter solstice is an auspicious time, so even a few moments of reflection or simple notes of gratitude written in a journal could help welcome in these new and changing energies and could help bring individuals into greater alignment with their inner wisdom and creative spiritual source. #WinterSolstice2022
