Winter Solstice — December 21, 2025
The Longest Night. The Quiet Turning.
Today we cross the threshold of the Winter Solstice—the longest night of the year, and the moment the light begins its slow return.
This is not a season of force.
It’s a season of listening.
The earth rests.
Seeds dream underground.
And we are invited to do the same.
Solstice asks us to honor what has been survived, what has been shed, and what is quietly preparing to rise. Not everything needs to bloom yet. Some things need darkness first.
Tonight, light a candle not to banish the dark—but to bless it.
It’s been doing sacred work.
The light is returning. So are you.
The Astrology of This Solstice (Dec 21, 2025)
- Sun enters Capricorn: The collective energy shifts from reflection to intentional building. Capricorn is slow, sovereign, and serious about legacy. This is about what lasts, not what sparkles briefly.
- Saturn’s influence is strong. There’s a maturity to this moment—less chaos, more discernment. You may feel called to simplify, commit, or quietly choose yourself without explanation.
- Lunar undertones favor introspection. Emotions are deep but contained. This is not performative feeling—this is truth settling into the bones.
Astrologically, this Solstice is less about dramatic revelation and more about inner authority. The question isn’t what do you want?
It’s what are you willing to tend over time?
