The winter solstice officially marks the arrival of this season, and in the current year 2019, it will take place on December 22. Celebrated by many ancient and more recent civilizations, this winter solstice is popularly related to Christmas and also represents the shortest day of the year.
Winter Solstice: The Time to Be Reborn
The winter solstice is the longest night of the year that marks the beginning of the winter period. During this day, the path of the Sun in the sky is the shortest and the lowest on the horizon. In astrology, it's a date with great meaning.
It represents the moment of rebirth after death. On the longest night, the seeds begin to germinate in the sleeping soil, as a result of strength and light.
The winter solstice marks a rebirth after a symbolic death. This period helps us learn humility and appreciation for the gifts we receive each year. Man must find in him the inner light to replace the outer light that no longer exists.
In this solstice (or winter equinox) Saturn also has an important weight; from the 17th to the 24th of December, their festivities are celebrated as a protector of the seeds.
