The Longest Night: The #Astrology Of #Winter #Solstice
StarLys

..."Since Samhain, we have been seeking out the seeds of the next cycle in the fertile dark. The spark of energy as the sun is reborn at the Solstice is the beginning of the return of outwardly focused activity. As the days begin to lengthen, we take our first tangible steps in manifesting our new vision.

#Saturn is the ruler of #Capricorn so carries special power at this time of year. We know him as Old Father Time, bringer of limits and structures. The goddesses of winter also carry this sometimes stark energy. The Crone goddesses remind us of the wisdom and power of maturity. For me, Saturn is the Old Bone Mother, who strips us back to bare bones. Capricorn energy forces us to examine our inner and outer structures. If they are not strong enough, or if they have become calcified, we tear them down, and break them apart. And so we learn our lesson, and so we build new and more flexible structures.
...
Capricorn energy builds slowly – taking our time is a powerful magic in itself. Pay attention to the bare bones of nature, noticing the shapes of the trees and the landscape. Seek out signs of the dying year in the seed heads and bare branches. Seek out also signs of the new cycle in the leaf buds on the trees. Allow yourself to sink deeply into the energies and sensations of your own body as well as the rest of nature.",,,

WEEKLY #ASTROLOGY | #DECEMBER 18TH TO 24TH, 2023 - GOOD NEWS, RETHINKING OLD IDEAS AND CONVERSATIONS, LIBERATING JOLTS WITH LOVE AND MONEY, CAREER SOBRIETY AND THEN JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME - SANTA!
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2023

..."It is a good idea to check in with other people. See if they need anything we have to give. People are needing more than presents wrapped in big red bows this year.

In #Capricorn, the #Sun gets serious. We are heading into the serious time of year - the time our ancestors could starve if they hadn't stocked up properly or catch a cold that would turn into pneumonia. They would celebrate the #Winter #Solstice and go into hibernation for a few weeks (exhausted from the harvest, escaping the cold and, intuitively, the germs and bacteria, too, I'm sure), venturing back out sometime mid-Aquarius season for some social interaction and hoping to trade whatever they still had plenty of to restock whatever had grown scarce.

This is true for us today, too. Without structure, responsibility and discipline - mandated by Capricorn's ruling planet #Saturn - we'll be in trouble when the cold settles in and the stuff we need to survive is covered with two feet of snow and ice.

So Capricorn is a serious sign because it rules very serious things. Capricorn rules our collective 10th house of career, reputation, ambition, hard work, the pinnacle, fathers, patriarchal story-lines, safety, security, tradition, history, structure.

A chart drawn for the Cappy Ingress (like we do the New Moon and Full Moon charts for the lunar cycles) - Sun into Capricorn - Cappy being a cardinal sign that launches a new season, can tell us quite a bit about what to expect in the weeks ahead.

So, we've got this solar energy of sobriety and responsibility, and what else do we see? The time is 10:27PM EST. The Moon is in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation.

Venus moves into an opposition with Uranus retrograde. Even though this isn't totally unexpected with Uranus retrograde, this can provide a JOLT. Our Scorpio house, or a Scorpio issue - debt, taxes, intimacy, loans, intimacy, reproduction, secrets - can experience a FAST CHANGE. Financial and romantic shocks are possible. And remember, with this happening on the Capricorn Ingress, the energy of FAST CHANGE is pulled into the season ahead. Breakthroughs, breakdowns, breaks for freedom.

Mercury repeats his/her opportunistic sextile with Saturn. Plans, conversations, information are OPPORTUNISTIC. Stabilizing. Mature. This might connect to an idea or conversation or news from around December 2nd. Watch your language. Mean what you say. This is a confident aspect where we better know what we are talking about. Verbal and written commitments are sticky - although subject to changes because, again, Mercury is retrograde. Saturn is awash in Pisces this year and next year, so any chance for him to get back to himself in stable Capricorn is useful. Talk and think about your goals. Make plans.

Mars inconjuncts Uranus - this is Sag/Taurus. Big moves vs security and stability. The greener grasses over there being incompatible to what we want to hold onto over here. There isn't a winner here. The way through would be the Mercury/Saturn we just talked about.

This is alot to be happening at this solstice moment. Our ancestors celebrated the solstice for hundreds/thousands of years and this energy is in us even when we are not conscious of it. "...

Feu de la Saint-Jean - Solstice d'été

Depuis toute petite, dans mon village, le week-end d'après le solstice d'été, c'est la fête et il y a ce grand feu de la Saint-Jean. Je ne sais pas quelle signification y a mis l'église, mais le feu du solstice d'été dans la tradition celtique est la célébration de l'apogée du soleil, de la nature, de ce qu'on a semé, c'est le début des moissons et c'est un feu sanctificateur et non pas destructeur.

Pas de ronde ni de jeux pour sauter par dessus, vu la taille, vaut mieux pas, pas de danse ni de chant ni de tambour même si ça me démangeait, mais j'y ai déposé mon mat de mai et sa couronne de Beltane en souhaitant retrouver une union sacrée avec un homme. Trois mois après la rupture la plus incompréhensible de ma vie. Et en même temps j'ai beaucoup appris sur moi. Je récolte des choses étonnantes cette année. Quelle abondance vais-je vivre ces mois d'été?

Et vous, quelles récoltes commencez-vous?

(oui je sais, c'est pas écolo du tout...)
