The following remarks were broadcast in the Triangles Webinar on December 18, 2017:
We’re approaching the end of the waning cycle of the sun, when its light is diminishing, and just as in the period of the new moon in the monthly cycle, this is a time of considerable spiritual opportunity. It’s said that Sagittarius takes us to the door--that door that opens during the period of the winter solstice, the finale of this interlude period of the annual cycle. In the cycles of the breath this is the phase of “love to all beings,” which well-describes the sacred potential of this time. The word "solstice" is derived from two Latin words: sol ("sun”) and sistere ("to stand still"). This then is the time of the long night, the time when the sun appears to “stand still” for a period of three day until on December 25th it seemingly returns to life and begins its waxing period, its ascent to the north which signals the approach to the higher interlude.
