{Winter Solstice post 2}
The Winter Solstice
– the shortest day of the year,
the final day of Saturnalia, and what the Pagans called “Yule”,
is tomorrow, December 21st.
With the Winter Solstice, we celebrate the return of the light,
as the days will slowly begin to get longer.
As with the full and new moons,
we are under the influence of the solstices for 3 days before and 3 days after.
You may have already {finally} begun to see a “glimmer of light”
in those areas where you have been struggling.
The solstice is the natural “New Year”,
bringing that extra energetic impact as an annual marker.
This also makes it an especially great time to create and practice rituals.
Think about what has transpired this year.
Be honest – but not critical,
about where you have shined
and where you fell short.
Be clear with what you want,
as well as what you are no longer willing to accept.
From there, you can determine your “resolutions” for the year ahead,
and what you want to bring forward with the light…
“I bring these forward
To shine long and bright,
With truth, honor and love
They will outshine the night.”
(This is also where your personal “ritual” begins.
For more, see my post on Solstice rituals & meditation.)
Remember:
We are still on the tail end of this December’s transitional energy of
“EXPANSION”,
as well as revisiting the past, acknowledging and anchoring soul growth,
and all that Mercury Retrograde brings
(Dec 19 through Jan 8. See additional posts for specifics on that)
Rather than reacting from our old patterning and wounds.
Use this TRIPLE whammy of
Mercury Retrograde, Solstice, and New Year energy wisely.
Let it be your springboard into the new year.
Be intentional with your actions and reactions.
Responding in a way which reflects personal growth, gratitude,
and expansion of “right energy” in the “right direction”
Stay positive,
or at least neutral.
Be confident and expansive.
Do all things with Love,
filtering through your Heart,
Practice gratitude,
Pay attention…
And you will shine bright and
be “a bringer of the light.”
