Winter solstice

 

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 is the winter solstice and the earth's axis is tilted at its furthest point from the sun.

 This means that in the northern hemisphere, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky and also the shortest day of the year – and the longest night.

After the solstice the days are getting longer and the nights shorter.

The Winter Solstice embodies a time of transition or shift from shades of dark into more light and resurgence of warmth and vitality.

The shift of landscapes, garden and the observation of the behavior, in all the living creatures, that longs for some free vitamin D.

The winter solstice has been a significant time of the year in many cultures throughout antiquity and has been marked by festivals and rites, marking the return of the sun and the lengthening of days.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the winter solstice, occurring around June 21st, is a time of subtle spiritual significance for the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

It is the celebration to focus on renewal, reflection, and the anticipation of new beginnings. It is the time of rebirth reflecting the natural circle and period that encourages introspection and a preparation for new beginnings. 

It is a good time to know what to plant in the garden of once introspection to set those intentions in the ground to grow.

Most ancient temples are aligned with the solstice sunrise to celebrate the Sun and live giver to a new year of blessings for the land.

Those traditions are the connections with nature, honoring ancestors, and change of season.  

The winter solstice is like a personal invitation to find tranquility and rejuvenation to encourage gratitude for what was given and giving grace for the year ahead.

June is the month of sidereal Gemini and this year Jupiter is transiting through Gemini and creates the importance of effective communication, initiative and commitment for any growth and success that needs a broad minded approach.

The meetings of the right people for the right reason become effective, but one needs to be careful with opposing ideologies and the wit of others to get involved.

Quick witted display and exaggerated stories are the weakest blessing in this mutual growth of communication.

This transit magnifies intellectual trends and processes of information; Jupiter is the philosopher and teacher of the spiritual realm and likes to ponder on things deeply.

Jupiter just entered the Lunar Mansion of Ardra and provides powerful mental capacities; its symbolic image is the teardrop, reflecting the perception of clarity after the tears of sorrow. This asterism is related to fierce activities, enthusiasm and the urge for expansion. The greater effort with Jupiter here is the persistent determination of doing the right thing, as sincerity makes a living art.

Emotional intelligence and wisdom are like the horizon, the closer and seeming nearer one is, the further it recedes.

Imaginations are the fountain stream of the mind and like a boat in the ocean of sky in simple trust.  

Superficiality and ignorance are the negative effects of this transit and can create great loss through miscommunication or false information.

The closer one approaches true reality, the nearer one comes to unity.
