Winter solstice, solstice, one of the most important, special days of the year. Starting from this day, daylight increases and night decreases. On this day, the height of the sun rises in the sky is the lowest. From that day on, the Sun begins its northern path of growth. At this time, the Earth is at the smallest distance from the Sun.

Astrology

The astrological transition of the Sun into the sign of Capricorn will occur December 21, 2017 at 07:28 pmby Moscow time. Capricorn is a sign closely associated with career prospects, unapproachable peaks, long-term prospects, ascetics and directors.

Capricorn jumps on sheer cliffs, not at all embarrassed by gorges, landslides, or the absence of a direct road to the goal. Capricorn is perhaps the most vigorous hybrid of a materialist and an idealist in the entire Zodiac. All material planes all jumps from cliff to cliff necessarily have a specific idea behind them that warms Capricorn.

So we need to find between the material and the spiritual these days. You should not focus only on the ideal component of your projects, that is, dreams. It is impossible and headlong into monetization and profit, losing sight of the dream.
If you plan projects for the next year, then taking into account pragmatic earthly moods - with a financial plan and clear steps to achieve. This is not a reason to deny yourself a dream. It is only important to understand the first step that you will take to achieve it. AND do it after the Solstice.

This solstice can have a transformative effect on people whose significant chart indicators are in the third decade of mutable signs (Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces). Now their fate may change course. It is especially important for them to be conscious and honest with themselves and others so that the turn turns out to be good.

Most of the strength and attention is worth spending on completing and closing the old one. Before the Solstice, it is better not to conceive or discuss new projects. You have to give them time to mature. Assess what occupies your strength and energy - whether actions, relationships, reading feeds on social networks. Assess if it benefits you. Ask yourself the question honestly and answer it honestly.

This is a great time to get your finances and relationships in order. For example, closing ties with other people, holding final negotiations, repaying debts of any kind. So the entrance to the New Year will be much easier, and there will be more inspiring events in it.

What did our ancestors do on the day of the winter solstice and what should we do?

In former times, the holiday of the rebirth of the Sun was celebrated at night, before sunrise. The holidays of Kolyada among the Slavs and Yule among the Germanic peoples are associated with this day. To give strength to the Sun, which, according to legend, should be reborn on this day, there was a custom to kindle a ritual fire. Often the logs for the fire were oak, because oak was believed to be a cosmic tree. The logs were decorated with carvings and corresponding symbols.

We can replace the fire with candles. To begin with, build a magical altar, decorating it with dry leaves and flowers, nuts, fruits. Place 13 candles in the center, decorated with the symbols of the Sun. To aromatize the air, use juniper, rosemary, cedar, pine oil.

December 21 - the most powerful day of the year

Dear friends, the most energetically charged period of time begins, which really changes the fate, activating our consciousness. This is due to nature itself and its rhythms.

The winter solstice begins on December 21 and 22 - the shortest days of the year.

*****

The time of the winter solstice occurs when the axis around which our planet rotates, in the direction from the Sun, takes its maximum mark. The largest value of the angle of inclination of the Earth's axis with respect to the Sun is 23° 26".

Depending on the shift of calendar days, the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs either on December 21 or 22, and in the Southern Hemisphere on June 20 or 21.

Different cultures interpreted this event in different ways, but most peoples perceived the winter solstice as a rebirth, setting the beginning of a new one. At this time, festivals, holidays, meetings were held, appropriate rituals were held, mass celebrations were organized with songs and dances.

The solstice was a special moment of the annual cycle even during the New Stone Age (Neolithic). Thanks to astronomical events, from ancient times governing crops of grain crops, food preparation until the next harvest, mating periods of animals, one can trace how various traditions and myths arose.

Evidence of this can be considered the layout of the oldest monuments of the late New Stone and Bronze Ages. Such as Stonehenge (Great Britain) and Newgrange (Ireland), the main axes of which were aligned with special care and indicated the rising of the luminary in Newgrange, and the sunset in Stonehenge on the day of the winter solstice.

It is noteworthy that the Great Trilith (the construction of the "letter P" of the three largest stones) in Stonehenge is turned outward relative to the center of the monument in such a way that its front flat part turns out to be facing the Sun by mid-winter.

How did the ancient Slavs celebrate the winter solstice?

One of the most significant holidays revered by our ancestors were the days of Solstice and Equinox. Rotation, solstice, solstice, equinox - personify the four hypostases of the ancient Slavic god of the Sun Dazhdbog, the giver of light and heat. His name sounds in a short prayer that has survived to our time: “Give, God!”. According to popular beliefs, Dazhdbog opens the summer and closes the fierce winter.

The Slavs considered this holiday a time of renewal and birth of the Sun, and with it all living things, a time of spiritual transformation, a time conducive to both good material changes and spiritual ones. The night that precedes the day of the winter solstice is considered the patroness of all nights, because it is on this night that a young sunny baby is born to the Goddess - Dazhdbog, symbolizing the birth of life from death, order from chaos.

During the winter solstice, the Slavs celebrated the pagan New Year, which was personified with the deity Kolyada. The main subject of the festival was a large fire, calling and depicting the Sun, which, after one of the longest nights of the year, had to rise higher and higher into the heavenly heights.

It was also obligatory to bake ritual New Year's pies of a rounded shape, reminiscent of a heavenly body.

Winter solstice festival among other nations

These days, in Europe, pagan festivities will mark the beginning of a 12-day cycle of magnificent festivities, which marked the beginning of the renewal of nature and the beginning of a new life.

In Scotland, there was a tradition to start a burning wheel, symbolizing the solstice. The barrel was abundantly smeared with resin, set on fire and launched down the hill, resembling a fiery luminary with rotating movements.

In China, before all other seasons (and there are 24 of them in the Chinese calendar), the winter solstice was determined. The Chinese believed that it was from the beginning of this period that the male force of nature was growing stronger and giving rise to a new cycle.

The winter solstice was a worthy celebration, because it was considered a happy, successful day. Everyone, from the commoner to the emperor, rested and had fun on this day, gave each other gifts, went to visit, laid large tables laden with various dishes.

An important role on this special day was given to sacrifices to the ancestors and the god of Heaven, the corresponding ceremonies and rituals were carried out in order to protect oneself from diseases and evil spirits. The winter solstice is still one of the Chinese traditional holidays.

Hindus call the winter solstice Sankranti. The holiday was celebrated in both Sikh and Hindu communities, where at night, on the eve of the festival, bonfires were lit, the flame of which resembled the rays of the Sun, which warm the earth after a cold winter.

This is the shortest day and longest night of the year. The winter solstice is one of the main solar points of the year in astrology, along with the days of the spring and autumn equinoxes, and the summer solstice.

Winter Solstice Traditions

Traditionally, in the old days, the rebirth of the Sun was celebrated on the winter solstice, it was celebrated at night, before sunrise.

The holidays of Kolyada among the Slavs and Yule among the Germanic peoples are associated with this day. To give strength to the Sun, which, according to legend, should be reborn on this day, there was a custom to kindle a ritual fire.

Often the logs for the fire were oak, because oak was believed to be a cosmic tree. Sometimes they took a pine tree, which symbolized the dying sun god. The logs were decorated with carvings and corresponding symbols.

To perform the ritual of the revival of the Sun, 13 red and green candles were taken with the Sun and other magical symbols carved on them.

The old pagan customs of the winter solstice included the tradition of placing bread or cakes on the branches of old trees, pouring sweet drinks on the trees as a gift to the forest gods. This was done in the hope that in gratitude people would be given a good harvest in the coming seasons.

With the advent of Christianity, the ancient holiday of the winter solstice was timed to coincide with Christmas and the beginning of winter Christmas time. According to custom, on the longest night of the year, they caroled, guessed at the future.

Magic rituals of the winter solstice

Stones: aventurine, turquoise, moonstone, ruby, sapphire, tiger's eye, black tourmaline.

Metals: gold, silver, brass, steel.

The Winter Solstice is the day when darkness dominates the light, because on this date the night is the longest of the year. Very often people get confused because the Solstice can be either December 21st or December 22nd.

In order not to get confused, it is advisable to find out in advance when the Solstice will be. The shortest day and the longest night in 2016 will not be on December 22, but on December 21. The sun will rise above the horizon at about 9 am in the European part of the country, and will set by 4 pm. Thus, the day will last only 7 hours. After that, the night will slowly but surely subside, shortening by several minutes every day.

Astronomical Meaning of the Solstice

There are two equinoxes in a year - autumn and spring. There are also two solstices - winter and summer. In our northern hemisphere, the winter solstice falls almost every time on December 21st, but due to the fact that the calendar has a leap year, this date is sometimes shifted by one day. In 2015, for example, the Solstice was exactly on December 22nd.

If the calendar did not have this shift, then the Solstice would constantly move in one direction, coming earlier and earlier. As for the astronomical meaning of this event, it represents a special point in the Earth's orbit. When the globe moves around the sun, it exposes the sun's rays to one or the other part. When the rays heat the southern hemisphere more strongly, summer comes there, and we have winter. Have you noticed that in winter the Sun never rises much above the horizon? That is why it is cold in winter: the rays seem to casually fall on the surface of the Earth. The sun is barely peeking over the horizon. This directly affects the temperature of the Earth's surface.

On December 21, 2016, the earth will pass a special point in the orbit, when our hemisphere will be substituted for the Sun, and the southern one will be increasingly deprived of solar “attention”. This point is called the beginning of astronomical winter. In fact, winter on December 21 is coming to its climax, just the higher we are to the north pole, the more pronounced and protracted the winter is. In theory, from December 21 it should be warmer and warmer, but in reality it will be cold for at least another two or one and a half months.

Astrologers and psychics about the Solstice in 2016

December 21 is a very important date, full of mystical secrets. In many cultures, it was taken as the starting point for the new year. For the Celts, the new year began just on the day of the Solstice - on December 21 or 22. 2017 would have come for them, respectively, on the 21st. In general, many experts agree that this is one of the most logical dates for a time count, but this method has not sunk into oblivion along with the Celtic traditions, since the Chinese and many other eastern peoples build their calendar based on the Solstice. They celebrate the New Year on the second New Moon after the astronomical winter horizon - that is, after December 21st. Their year 2017 will come only on January 28th.

In astrological terms, the Solstice most negatively affects people if it falls on Sunday - the day of maximum influence of the Sun. Our luminary is the patron of rest, tranquility and peace, therefore, on the Solstice, which fell on Sunday, it is not recommended to load yourself with work, because it may not work out normally. December 21, 2016 is a Wednesday, so everything will be in perfect order. This day can become quite productive, because the Sun will be the least active for the whole year.

Psychics say that on December 21, 2016, meditations and spiritual practices will be especially useful. Many connoisseurs of esotericism have versions that on the winter Solstice you can relive your past lives and see the future, as well as change your destiny. This means that you can guess on this day in any way convenient for you - on Tarot cards, on water or by other methods. This is the day of wisdom, so psychics recommend studying.
