WINTER SOLSTICE

Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice (Hibernal Solstice) takes place on Sunday, December 21, 2025, 10:02 a.m. EST in the northern hemisphere. December 21 will have the least amount of daylight as the sun will be at its lowest arc in the sky for the northern hemisphere.

Shortly after December 21, our precious sunlight will begin to increase again (only by seconds in the beginning.  The additional light will be more noticeable in the evenings.)

As much of nature sleeps and the light is limited, we can use the long nights to reflect on our life’s journey. Go inward and plan your intentions for when the energy and the light return.

Follow Mother Nature example as she knows best. Many animals are now hibernating or slowing down, resting and waiting for the return of light, for the return of warmth, the return of the energy that nurtures us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Our obvious current lesson is patience. Utilize this time wisely.  You can use it to look deep into your shadow self. Bring light to the darkest corners of your being but do not judge what you find. Fill each corner with love and allow spirit to grow.

Is it coincidence that during Yule season (the rebirth of light), Christians celebrate the birth of Christ for example (the rebirth of salvation)? This is a time of celebration for many, whether it is Yule, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day, Saturnalia, and the list goes on.

We have much to celebrate. Be filled with promise, with faith in all that is. Be filled with gratitude, with love and with inner healing light! Winter Solstice blessings.

EVER-CHANGING BACKDROP OF OUR LIVES

Is there a shift taking hold in your life? 

Are you entering a new phase of development? 

Quite often after a period of what feels like stagnation, we begin to enter a new phase of progress.  Our focus may shift and we step in a new direction.  It’s time for growth!

This may be expected or more often than not, completely unexpected.  We become so wrapped up in the process that we don’t recognize that change and growth are happening.  In most cases, the entry level is subtle, and little seems to shift, but after time, we begin to notice that something seems different, that we are being drawn in a different direction.

In many cases, especially in the beginning, it is internal, but then the internal changes reflect out into our world as well. Life looks different. Our outlook seems brighter, colors more vibrant, the wind and temperature more outstanding.  Although the manner of expression seems to be directed towards outside stimuli, in reality we have already changed within.  Again, all things begin within and then are noticed on the outside.

The Ever-Changing Backdrop of our Lives

The shift does not have to be a total life change (but it can be). Change can manifest itself in small but important relationship changes, occupational transitions, or even changes in our appearance.  Outside manifestation moves in areas that we will recognize and perhaps others will as well, (although at times, only we realize the change that is happening).

Prior, we may have been felt we were ready for change or knew that something had to shift. Alternatively, we may not have had any idea that a shift was coming.  One thing is for certain, the changes taking hold, whether barely recognizable or life changing, are in place for a reason. 

Shifts happen when change is required.  We are ready even if we don’t feel we are.  The ever-changing backdrop of our lives is significant. We will move forward even when we hold back.  Shifting is part of our life’s purpose, and it takes hold when appropriate.

THE MORNING AFTER

What is the first thing you wake up thinking about after a life-changing day? 

How will you move forward? 

There are far too many life-changing possibilities so we are not being specific here but, in every case, there is one common requirement, we must face things head on.  Do not try to ignore what takes place.

We must move forward without much hesitation as the longer we wait to accept the facts, the harder it likely will be. 

The Morning After

Facing things head-on can be challenging but it is what must be done.  These events are not punishments; they are life lessons. Most of us will agree that the most tumultuous situations bring forth the greatest lessons, but that can be hard to acknowledge when the emotions are still raw. It takes time to find solutions, to recover and to understand the lesson.

Remember, you will overcome even if life is significantly different after the fact. Believe that you can and will.  Without that commitment, it can become very difficult to keep moving forward.  Our belief structure controls our experiences in life regardless of life’s circumstances.

Believe in yourself.  Know that this too will pass, and that you are stronger than you thought.  You are stronger than you think even on the morning after. Hear that little voice inside that provides comfort and support, not the one that brings worry and anxiety. 

Have patience; some things take time.  The answer is available, and it will come when you are ready.
