First things first: What is the summer solstice?
When the sun enters Capricorn, December 21stwhich signals the seasonal solstice. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, today is the shortest day of the year, meaning darkness dominates most of your waking hours. The opposite is true if you are in the southern hemisphere. The sun shines longer on this day than on other days.
The word “solstice” is a combination of Latin words sol (sun) and sisters (to stand still). Symbolically, this is a time of calm and peace, but also a time of celebration. In the Northern Hemisphere, the December solstice is a symbol of rebirth. The sun’s light reaches its lowest point and begins to increase again from this day on. In the southern hemisphere, the light reached its glorious peak. Both events are threshold moments, transitions to honor.
Time to reflect and reset
Like the equinoxes, the summer solstices are also associated with cycles of sowing, harvesting, and rebirth. This turning point in Earth’s orbit around the sun has profound implications for human survival, as light is the lifeblood of all agricultural cultures. In the Northern Hemisphere, the December Solstice represents a time of hope, miracles, and reverence in anticipation of the return of the Light of Sol.

If it’s a memory, an idea, a situation, a relationship, put down what you don’t want to hold on to.
