Winter Solstice – the Sun Turns Northward.
Light Over Darkness & a Litany of Promises.
Our solstice day today.
Time for rest, reflection, pause & quiet.
The solstice guides us to Christmas day, a holy birth (of a new light) & into the new year.

Today, Thursday, December 21, 2023.
The shortest day of light, the longest night of darkness…(northern hemisphere).
Tonight at 7:27pm (west coast time),the Sun enters Capricorn & it’s winter solstice!

The Astrology
It’s a complex day today in the heavens as we move towards the Solstice time.
Venus/Uranus – Mars/uranus – Mercury/Saturn.
Moon in Aries, then a 3 minutes v/c. Then Moon in Taurus (6:50pm, west coast time).
Sag Sun, then Capricorn Sun.
We shift from Rays 4, 5, 6 to Rays 1, 3, 7.
Note from the even love Rays to the knowledge Rays.

The Body Electric
As the Sun is at the southern most position, Tropic of Capricorn, the Sun seed in our bodies is at the solar plexus (a “manger” in our body temple). As the Sun begins its movement northward, after three days of stillness, the Sun seed within our bodies also move upward – to reach the heart at spring equinox (equator on earth & in our bodies). At summer the Sun seed reaches the pineal gland, connecting with the pituitary gland, in the 3rd ventrical (another manger in our bodies, the holy place of spiritual conception – a spark of light can be seen when the two meet – pineal & pituitary – this is the divine conception & marriage bed for the Holy Child – the Soul).

As the Sun circuits thru its many stages – upward path, downward path & upward again each year, our bodies are electrified with a new life, new radiance & we are given the power of eternal youth (spiritual metaphor). For those who walk the Path of Light are filled with a rare & radiant light. This is the light that moves over land & sea.

Light Over Darkness
Winter Solstice – the season in which the Sun — the light
and life of the world — enters upon rebirth, and returns to conquer darkness and death.
Returning each year as a holy child – the Light Bringer.
Winter Solstice – the secret and sacred life of the heavens and the earth. All Nature begins life anew at Winter Solstice.

Litany
I. I devote the spirit that is being born within me to the service of the spirit of love & to the world.

II. In this coming year I will dwell in the sanctuary of love; I will not offend against the law of love.

III. I will remember that I have not to ask for love but to offer love; that I give of my very self to the world.

IV. I forgive all. In return, I ask the spirit to be born in me this month so that I am beloved of the brotherhood of souls, and thus recognised as a Soul of Love. Risa
