Winter Solstice 2016 Ritual: Bringing in the Light

winter solstice ritual 2016In this beautifully illustrated YouTube video Pam discusses the chart of the Winter Solstice 2016 when the Sun changes sign into Capricorn.  She relates Capricorn to its ruler, Saturn in Sagittarius, with its connections to The Hermit and The World in the tarot, with affirmations.

  • Winter Solstice Sun in Capricorn: It’s a time of completion.
  • Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn.
  • It’s represented by Old Father Time, dark, sombre and bleak.
  • Capricorn is also a sign of initiation, a Turning Point because it’s a cardinal sign like the other 3 signs that signify the seasons and the turning points in the year- Aries Spring, Cancer Summer and Libra Autumn.

Saturn demands simplicity, realism and truth wherever it touches our charts. As Saturn is in Jupiter’s sign of Sagittarius, we are being asked to integrate contraction (Saturn) with the opposite energy of expansion (Jupiter). Finding a balance between being too slapdash and too controlled can consume a lot of our time and energy.

Watch to the end as Pam offers a Ritual to perform on December 21st for each planet with  a relevant affirmation.
