🌑 Happy Solstice! Today is the Winter Solstice. It's the shortest day of the year, and from here on out, the light slowly begins to return. The Solstice invites us to pause, reflect on everything we’ve moved through this year, and gently set intentions for what’s ahead.
🌀 This is one of the four major energetic turning points of the year, along with the equinoxes and the other solstice. Humans have honored this day for tens of thousands of years, building monuments like Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and Mesa Verde to mark the return of the light. That long history matters, and the energy of this day is deeply imprinted in the collective.
🌙 Spiritually, the Solstice is a time to rest and integrate. And this year, that feels extra important as we close out a 9-year numerology cycle and prepare for new Saturn and Neptune cycles. If you feel tired, unmotivated, or spacey right now, nothing is wrong, the energy simply isn’t about productivity.
🔥 Big changes are coming in 2026. It’s a 1 year in numerology, the Year of the Fire Horse, Saturn and Neptune move into Aries, Pluto is fully in Aquarius, Uranus moves into Gemini for good, and everything points toward new identities, new ways of doing things, and forward momentum. But before that motion begins, we’re given this sacred in-between moment to exhale.
🪨 The Solstice also begins Capricorn season, bringing grounded, practical energy to help us plan for what’s next, slowly and sustainably. Today isn’t about action yet. It’s about clarity. Light a candle, reflect on the past, name what you want going forward, and trust that momentum will come when the timing is right.
