The Seasons Change with Purpose |
The Winter Solstice |
One of the greatest tricks you can play on a person, is to fool them with time and space. Unfortunately that subterfuge was played on the world when the ancient 13-month calendar (13 moons in the Universe) was changed to 12 months. Up until that point, it was the practice of our ancestors to flow with the movement of the planets, stars and the galaxies. The alignment of the soul was the first order of business when a child was born, thus the Natal Chart was quickly created.
In present day, we have been conditioned to believe that astrology is as trivial as playing monopoly (it’s just play money). Although this is a great subject to delve into, I just want to take one aspect of this material and give you an idea of how to use timing, meditation and the Uni-Verse, to establish synchronicity with your Soul.

Winter Solstice happens each year on December 21 – 24. The Wikipedia provides the definition of the Solstice as an astronomical event that happens twice each year when the Sun's apparent position in the sky reaches its northernmost or southernmost extremes. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction. Thus, the Summer Solstice is recognized June 21 – 24 each year. The dates are significant because it points to the time period when the sun it almost completely “still”.
Stillness is the opportunity for us to take hold of our internal conditioning during this special time of the year. Imagine if the Sun is still, then this means that the Universe is probably very quiet and deeply receptive. And if that is the case, what a great time to communicate our intentions into this stillness.
This is exactly what our ancestors did – Africans, Mayans, Indians – all of the ancients knew that if the Universe is slowing down, then we should also. Now here is where it gets tricky. You have been made to believe that Christmas is about you shopping and buying all the presents you have, (or don’t have). the money to buy. You are hustling and bustling, wearing your energy down without a clue about the vibration you are putting out into your spiritual vortex.

"Go In" |
Oh Wise Ones, may I suggest that we get back to the business of soul nurturing, so that we can at least maintain some balance as we co-exist in this world of duality. It has been my practice for the pass 20 yrs to practice fasting, deep meditation, sleep, solitude (no television), and study during that four-day period. Even when my children were younger we shared space together in this manner. Think of it like a soul recalibration process where you are allowing yourself to tune into the higher aspects of your being.
