Happy Winter Solstice! Happy New Moon in Capricorn! The Light Overcomes The Dark!
This week, on Wednesday, December 21st at 11:30 PM CST, 12:30 AM December 22nd EST,
we behold a significant annual event - the Winter Solstice!
And this Winter Solstice marks the one year countdown to the end of the Mayan
Calendar, on December 21st, 2012!
In Mexico, they are preparing year long celebrations, especially in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Many predict that this coming year will bring leaps in human consciousness as
never seen before.
Solstice means "Sun Standing Still" ----
On December 21st, we have the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
The ancients actually thought the Sun died at this time.
Then, as shadows grew longer every day, they celebrated the return of the Light.
This "Light Returning to Earth" influenced the Early Christians
to choose the Winter Solstice time of year to
celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ, who is considered
the "Light of the World." Merry Christmas!

Many ancient sites around the world
celebrate the Solstices - Stonehenge,
Mayan temples, and especially in Newgrange Ireland,
where the Sun ONLY shines inside this cave during the Winter Solstice!

But what actually causes this phenomenon called the Winter Solstice?
The Sun enters the Sign of Capricorn, and hits the Tropic of Capricorn on the Earth.
Capricorn is an Earth, YIN, Cardinal Sign and is represented by Half Goat / Half Fish.
It's statement is "I Build" and is related to carpentry, business, and one's calling in Life, or Career.
In the Body, Capricorn relates to the knees, the bones, and the teeth.
On Christmas Eve this year, at approximately 1:06 PM EST,
the Sun and Moon will also come together in Capricorn to form a New Moon,
which is a time of new beginnings.

And, along with the Sun and Moon, Pluto is still in Capricorn,
so this New Moon will be about new beginnings related to Capricorn issues --
that is, Authority, Governments, Countries, Military, Corporations, Structures, Buildings, Etc.
We recently saw the end of the War in Iraq, which brought so many
soldiers home for Christmas - Yay!
Each year, Jazz Musician Paul WInter puts on
an amazing Winter Solstice Concert at St John The Divine
Cathedral in New York City.
You can hear the re-broadcast on National Public Radio.

One of my favorite parts is the "Howl-elluia Chorus" --
where everyone howls like a wolf,
and the sounds reverberate off the walls of this
huge cathedral.
And, since this is the darkest time of the year, it can be challenging to find the Light.

Listening to positive, uplifting music is great for the soul.
My CD, Travelin' Light, has many wonderful uplifting songs.

I also recommend that you keep your home fires burning,
burn Candles and Incense (especially Nag Champa and Frankincense)
and keep your Christmas lights turned on!
I also recommend some classes to help you deal with these planetary shifts
by Master Shaman Starr Fuentes, called "Light Language."

And, of course, the best way to deal with this Darkness
is to "seek the Light within".
Go within and find that core of Light within yourself,
and dwell in the peace and silence of the Inner Self.
