| astrologizing.net Winter Solstice 2009 Capricorn Ingress |
| For many, this is the happiest time of the year; the most holy, and the most social. If you think about it, Christmas, or the Winter Solstice, has been celebrated since the earliest times that Man walked the earth and studied the Stars. The myth of the birth of the Sun/Son is very interesting when one is a Star watcher. Ancients watched the Sun rise further South from East each day after the Autumnal Equinox in September. By the time December rolled around, the Sun was rising in the South of East closer and closer to its setting in the South of West. It looked like the Sun was dying and might not rise at all very soon. On, or close, to December 21, the Sun appeared to stop and rise for three consecutive days in the same place. Then, lo and behold, on the fourth day it rose a bit to the North and the Sun was born again! Hallelujah or Halle Berry as the case may be. I love myths! Aries is rising in Washington, D.C., in fact all the angles of the chart (1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th Houses) are Cardinal and that says that there is action going on here. More later... |
