"Winter solstice is an astronomical phenomenon which marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Winter solstice occurs for the Northern Hemisphere in December and for the Southern Hemisphere in June.
The axial tilt of Earth and gyroscopic effects of the planet's daily rotation keep the axis of rotation pointed at the same point in the sky. As the Earth follows its orbit around the Sun, the same hemisphere that faced away from the Sun, experiencing winter, will, in half a year, face towards the Sun and experience summer. Because the two hemispheres face opposite directions along the planetary pole, as one polar hemisphere experiences winter, the other experiences summer." -Wikipedia
December 21st marks the New Moon in Capricorn at 5:35pm (PST). Just hours after the winter solstice, this new moon marks the need for responsibility, mastery, and rigorous discipline. Where are you sloughing off and where does your focus need to be? This is a new beginning requiring motivation, self-determination, and practicality. Slowly but surely, the dark days will begin to give us more minutes of light to warm our chilled winter bones. We know there will be more winter, but the darkest days are over until next year. So it is with the Capricorn New Moon. We are ready for the challenges spurred on by embracing the work which needs to be done. Capricorns are known as the administrators of the universe because of their devotion to the nitty gritty details. They drive many of us nuts with their meticulous picking but we know without them we would be developing an airy thought instead of a full-fledged plan. It is easy to dream but harder to make something a reality. Use the power of this Capricorn New Moon to take measured and thoughtful action. Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their life.
Two days after the Capricorn New Moon is the heralding of Saturn moving into the fiery sign of Sagittarius. Moving from the mysterious, watery stinging Scorpio to the heat of Sagittarius will take some adjustment. Those of you with Sagittarius in any house will feel its transformation in your hard line beliefs, while watching the erosion of how they have no basis in reality. Be prepared to see that things are not as set in stone as you thought. Think of the Archer and his bow and arrow: it takes strength, concentration, and visual perception to hit the target. But are you sure that's the target you want to hit? No one identifies with the arrow. Are you speeding through the air aimlessly or with precision? You'll be asking a lot of thought provoking questions as Sagittarius leads you on your next merry journey.
Happy Birthday Capricorns!
