Winter Solstice at Stonehenge in England
In addition
to the strength and power of the Sun moving into Capricorn that is the Winter Solstice it forms several angles
all week making for another week of strong energy. The Sun and Moon square on
Tuesday create the Quarter Moon in
Pisces and on Sunday the Sun is sextile
Saturn that together call for a realignment of responsibilities and
long-term obligations and structures.
With Mercury retrograde these solar angles blend to help rethink and possibly rework projects and life choices so that you can manage and maintain for optimal priority. Right away on Monday Mercury trine Jupiter benefits working with all types of realignment including commitments and contracts further strengthened by Mercury sextile Saturn on Thursday. Mercury in retrograde motion along with these angles supports all the reorganization you need or elect to do. Smoothing out and refining are positive choices. In Capricorn the retrograde can slow business or create complexities so it’s good to work with the status quo. Beginning Saturday Mercury moves back into Sagittarius affecting your focus and plans to travel. Double check reservations and anything relating to how you connect to the world at large.
The Moon continues to grow full which peaks on December 26 that is a buoyant energetic ride to keep you going in a positive direction and succeed.
On Thursday Venus opposite Uranus cautions you to be flexible and not over plan or expect too much from others. This affects close relationships and social structures that could experience unsettled circumstances or chaos. This can cause a lack of reliability and surprises.
The Winter Solstice occurs on Thursday specifically when the Sun enters Capricorn at 10:27 PM and is the shortest day and longest night of the year. It’s a marker of the end of one season and beginning of a return to greater light and a new season of growth. Many throughout the world hold celebrations on this day that goes back to ancient times and is recognized in association with Christmas Day on December 25. Many pagan religions hold this day sacred as representative of the male Gods such as Odin in Norway. Millions of people will celebrate Christmas and others closely aligned with the Solstice known as Yule. Most decorations are pre-Christian such as the tree with star atop, holly, mistletoe and lights. It’s an energetic day for the planet.

Ongoing (archived) transits of note:
Pluto is direct in Capricorn where it is until the end of the year and then moves once again into Aquarius. During these months that is was retrograde in Capricorn there was continual unsettled activity within governments and all aspects of association as well as the same for corporations.
Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus lasts until December 30 offering for many a reprieve plus it gives you an opportunity to reset your financial clocks and plans. As the planet of abundance you may restore and refine the past as it relates to what you hold valuable. This time is nice for delving into your sense of yourself and how you hold to personal worth and self-esteem. Taking time to contemplate the meaning of life as aspirations likely will yield “valuable” results. Globally the world will be in a kind of financial flux that is informative as it relates to the economy, stocks, incomes and all matters of money exchange. What has been progress and growth may need refining or reviewed to remain solvent going forward.
AFFIRMATION
These affirmations are composed based on current celestial placements. As a clinical hypnotherapist I’ve studied writing scripts so the composition is written with the intent to allow connecting with the heavens and expanding awareness to be more in harmony for the highest good. Taking a moment to be still and ideally in a quiet place, or even when going to sleep, the reading or speaking of these may be helpful and benefit your soul journey. Even just seeing it can be beneficial
“In repose I sense and connect to the great life force unfolding before me.”
