Dear friends,
Sending warm wishes for a very merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and a merry Solstice to all of us here on planet Earth! The Sun crossed the World Axis and entered the sign of Capricorn last Sunday, December 21st at 10:03 a.m. Eastern US time: the darkest day of the year for those of us here in the Northern Hemisphere — and the lightest for our neighbors in the Southern.
I discussed the Solstice chart in the latest Weekly Weather on my YouTube channel: click through to watch the video, or scroll down to view an image of the chart! As a Seasonal Ingress chart, this one governs life on our planet for the next three months, until the Equinox on March 20th, 2026.
The chart has several interesting features. The Moon is out-of-bounds, along Venus and Mars and, notably, there are three major planets in the chart on World Points — not only the Sun at 0 Capricorn, but also Jupiter at 22-and-a-half degrees Cancer, Chiron at 22-and-a-half degrees Aries, and Neptune just a half degree away from the 0 Aries threshold. This is a momentous time for us, a period of our lives that we’ll be talking about for a long time to come. Big worldwide events!
When the chart is cast for Washington, DC (and this is the chart that rules the whole United States, since our nation’s capital is there) we find a gaggle of Sagittarius and Capricorn planets in the Eleventh House of groups, humanitarian ideals, technological progress, and the US Congress. These are contested arenas: know where you stand, and strive to harmonize the Sagittarian and Capricornish points of view, liberty and ALSO the rule of law. To learn more about the Solstice chart and the season ahead, I invite you to check out my free videos on YouTube.
We’re also gearing up for the annual year-ahead webinar, Setting Your Intentions for 2026 [ETA: here’s the link to purchase the recordings and slides!] which will take place on Monday, December 29th at 7:30 PM Eastern US time. If you’re interested but can’t make it in person, feel free to register anyway! The recordings and slides will be sent out to all students on the day after the class.
Take care, everybody — wishing you the utmost love and light!
Big hugs,
Anne
