Winter solstice is upon us in just over a week, and it is a time of increasing darkness. Emotionally things may be becoming quite dark as well. Challenging and disturbing situations may be easily arising. The heaviness of this time might make it seem like it may never end. But eventually we will have to begin to see the light and the end of the tunnel.

This solstice is intensified by the the end of year eclipse. The darkness will be like the pain of childbirth, until the contractions let up and a new round of evolution of consciousness reveals itself. There are many births in the ever evolving process of consciousness on earth. The eclipse this time reveals something hidden. as part of our evolution the corrupt and hidden ways of our society are going to be revealed. Especially when it comes to our banking and economic systems.

However, personally in our lives it may feel like we have to fight a battle right now. A battle between goodness, health, wholeness within ourselves, and the evil ways of the world which draw us away from doing good and compel us to follow rules which serve only to hurt people. We are called to fight for the goodness we know, and to have faith to be our true selves.

My advice is to cut back and limit our exposure to the disturbing forces or situations. Don’t be afraid to take a extra day off from work. Be kind to yourself and try to do something relaxing like meditation, listening to music or take walks whenever possible.

The lunar eclipse of December 31st is a partial eclipse. It will be at the center of greatest contact at 2:22 PM EST (East coast US) or 12:22 PM here in Arizona.
