The Solstice is a powerful gateway. The ancients celebrated through ritual and ceremonies. Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is the Winter Solstice. It is considered a time where energy or life force is to be conserved, a time for reflection and introspection, the opportunity to heal and renew. The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st, 2015.
The Sun enters the earth sign of Capricorn which is a cardinal mode of energy expression. Even though Capricorn is an earth sign (earth signs tend to be more cautious and conservative) it has dynamic and initiating qualities. This sign at its highest potential symbolizes climbing to great heights of awareness, undergoing Spiritual initiations towards mastery on many levels as well as honoring the Divine Timing.
Each time we experience a Solstice or Equinox, there is something unique about it. How so? The astrological transits are different, each person is at a different place in their healing journey, life, relationships and so forth. Always keep an open curious mind for
This year’s Solstice definitely opens a symbolic doorway. It opens the way to welcoming in transiting Uranus in Aries at 16 degrees shifting into outward expression. This also represents the “Uranus Square Pluto” transit that has been going on for the last two to three years will be “reactivated” thus the major themes of “wake up, shake up, break-free and liberate” are also highlighted. It is indeed a time of accelerated transformation and big transitions. Uranus Square Pluto will continue to symbolically shake things up, push things up for purging until about April 2016.
The momentum for change and transformation is real. As if the ground itself is shaking and opening up to recycle the old and birth something new. We are experiencing this both individually, collectively as well as the Earth’s Consciousness is shifting too.
We are also in the warm up part of the phase of the next approaching Mercury Retrograde phase which begins on January 3rd, 2015. And finally, many people are considering how to close out the year both personally and business-wise. Perhaps it is time to redefine your boundary, role and status. Take a closer look at perceptions which either are contracting and limiting or those which nourish the path that is alive and abundant with possibilities.
An important question to ask yourself is “Am I fulfilled in my personal life, professional life, healing and relationships?” Be honest. If the answer is no, then ask yourself “What am I willing to do, let go of, adjust, change, heal and examine to create a more fulfilling happy life?” These are real life changing questions which deserve follow up action. The internal pressure builds to such a degree, a strong or even an extremely important decision and action has to be made to relieve the tension and allow the creative potential to flow.
The Solstice gateway brings in fresh Spiritual Energies to attune and align with. It also perhaps evokes a sense of completion of one increment in a Solar cycle and the readiness to embark on a new one (New Year). What type of ceremony will honor the passage and the completion?
Welcome the sudden, out of the blue and unexpected. Even if it feels topsy turvy, there is potential for shifting things in a fresh radical new way. Grab the opportunity and ride the wave. From now until the beginning of January 2016, the suddenly surprising energy is strong in its waves and influences both symbolically and literally. Even if something is labeled bad by the egoic mind, ask what is the higher purpose and potential within this as a part of my healing, evolution and growth? You may be surprised as to the insight that arrives.
The year ahead, 2016 draws each person closer to deepening faith in the non-physical reality or the benevolence of Life/Divine/God. The beliefs which impede growth, evolution and healing have to be let go of. Mostly are self-created barriers based in fear, unworthiness as well as lack of faith. Faith is tested not when everything is humming along perfectly. You test yourself to have faith when the chips are down and you are going through a trial or tribulation.
2016 brings the potential for extraordinary new things to emerge from the rubble and transitions. These can be both symbolic and quite literal. If you are too busy in resistance, you may miss out on the exciting creative potential, beauty and the magic.
