What’s the Winter Solstice, Anyway? https://apple.news/Ad5QbhH1uTWmuo-85jfYJYg To picture what is happening in space during a winter solstice, start by thinking of a giant glass ball surrounding the Earth, and let’s ignore the planet’s rotation (which complicates everything). Daylan says, “If you look at the three-dimensional sphere that’s around us, known as the celestial sphere, the sun as well as all other solar system objects move through a plane in this celestial sphere, known as the ecliptic plane.” “While doing so, the sun changes its declination,” he says. Declination and right ascension are the two primary axes of the celestial sphere. “In this reference frame, the sun is at the most southern location when it’s the winter solstice from our perspective in the Northern Hemisphere.” A winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere happens when the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the sun. The Arctic Circle is cloaked in darkness and experiences its longest night of the year. In the southern hemisphere, a summer solstice simultaneously happens with the South Pole angled towards the sun and the Antarctic Circle experiencing midnight sun.

Interesting to note; the equinoxes and solstices are all in cardinal signs. Denoting new progressive changes initiated by those with leadership qualities.

Post by: guest88 on Dec 21, 2021 03:43 am I am not looking forward to whatever false authorities have to say tomorrow, they've primed the collective subconscious via the matrix(Maya) and find it quite ritualistic to announce or usher in some kind of change during things like a solstice or eclipse. Personally I will take the time to enjoy nature and detach from any attempts to infiltrate love and harmony. I will bathe in the sun and ask for the armor of God. |
