Dear Friend and Reader,<\/p>\n

Happy Solstice! Today’s aspects are pretty spectacular. The Sun has entered the domain of Capricorn, conjoining Pluto and striking a square to the Aries Point. This solstice arrangement is about earthbound, grounding transformations on a social, spiritual and personal level. While that’s going on, Psyche stands opposite Hades — reminding us not to harp on the approach of old age.<\/p>\n

Solstice means the Sun (sol<\/em>) stands sill (stis<\/em>, as in stasis). For about a week (it actually started about three days ago), the Sun as reached its southernmost extreme along the horizon. It’s down south, visiting New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. After a few more days of pausing, it slowly starts to make its way northward again, and as a result the days get longer, for us here in the north.<\/p>\n

For those in the south, there is the slow approach of winter, though it’s not quite the same for them as it is up here. It is indeed a milder climate in the Southern Hemisphere in the cold months, though we seem to get about equal heat in the hot months.<\/p>\n

Part of the solstice symbolism means that the Sun transits the sign Capricorn, the sea-goat, where much has been happening lately and much more is about to happen.<\/p>\n

Laying the groundwork, or the bones and core (Cap theme), of the change (new season) we’d like to see in ourselves (the Sun) and the world we care for (the Aries Point) is the sentiment of the Sun’s progression into Capricorn. Capricorn is the sign which rules the skin and the bones. Conversely, with the Sun in a conjunction to Pluto, matters can take on a proportion so deep that they can demand you move beyond surface mentality. Note, this is the first Capricorn solstice with the Sun conjunct Pluto in nearly 250 years.<\/p>\n

The sources of your power and will may take on a new sensitivity with this transit. Or perhaps you will be able to feel with clarity the forces which have power over you. As with all solstice occasions, Source is sensitive to tapping today. It is a good time to consider who you are, where you are, and how aligned you feel with your spirit.<\/p>\n

The Moon enters Scorpio at 6:36 pm EDT.<\/p>\n

Happy Solstice All! Blessed Be!<\/p>\n
