Blessings to you on this Solstice Day, the shortest day and the longest night here in the Northern Hemisphere This is the beginning of the next solar cycle and the return of the sun, as the days begin to lengthen again.

Not only is this the Midwinter Solstice, it is also the day of the Great Conjunction when Jupiter and Saturn meet. They meet in the sign of Aquarius, heralding in a shift in the collective unconscious, a paradigm shift. Perhaps this will herald in a new way of being for humanity – a softer way, a way of connection and a new era away from materialism.

Since 2019 I have been studying with Puriq Qoto Dante, a Peruvian shaman from the Sacred Valley near Pisac. In Peru and the Southern Hemisphere it is the longest day and the shortest night and I was able to watch, live, a ceremony celebrating the arrival of the sun in the Andes, a beautiful, moving experience. In addition, I received an individual healing, which has been so special on this Solstice Day.

I have heard that this day welcomes in the Three Queens and the arrival of the Divine Feminine on Earth.May it be so.
