"It grounds us. It asks for our commitment. It demands our trust. And it prompts us to dedicate ourselves to something real, meaningful, and befitting of what we choose to do with this beautiful life. The winter solstice as well as both the Sun and Venus entering Capricorn ask for trust in what we cannot yet see, a willingness to rest in the space before outcome, and a reverence for what is taking place within the seeming stillness."
"Daylight is at its shortest, darkness at its longest. The word solstice is derived from two Latin words- sol meaning Sun and sistere meaning to stand still. The day brings a real, observable, and felt pause as we take in the darkness and stillness. Here we turn within so that any ensuing outward creative expression is grounded in inner truth, honesty, heart, and soul."
Week of December 21-27, 2025 centers on Capricorn energy that emphasizes grounding, commitment, trust, and dedication to meaningful, tangible endeavors. The winter solstice occurs as the Sun reaches its lowest horizon point, producing the shortest daylight and a palpable stillness that encourages inward reflection and grounded creative expression. After the solstice, days lengthen and consciousness shifts outward, signaling transition between endings and beginnings. The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21, reframing effort as devoted practice and loving commitment. Venus enters Capricorn on December 24, reinforcing practical values in relationships and aesthetics. Moon transits through Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries add further emotional movement.
