Winter Solstice is just a month away.
On December 21, we’ll experience the shortest amount of daylight in the entire year. In ancient times, that meant fear--fear of the unknown because
of the darkness that could hide things that daylight wouldn’t. Of course, this was
during a time before the electronic devices that today light up the dark skies.
Imagine, sleeping under a beautiful full moon or a sky full of sparkling stars.
A wondrous sight to be sure, but scary if you’re parked anywhere near wild animals and
nocturnal creatures.

Still, our ancestors must have had the time of their lives
watching those vivid night skies. Just think about the stunning Milky Way and
the incredible stories it’s inspired over centuries; like China's 'The Weaver Girl and
the Cowherd'. This lovely folktale also appears in Japan and Korea.

For you Astrologers, can you imagine how much easier it was
to view constellations and planetary movements without any hindrances from city
skylines or the flashing taillights of aircraft?
Another event takes place tomorrow when the Sun moves into
Sagittarius. Ruled by the jovial planet Jupiter, this sign loves the freedom of
expansion, like making new friends out of strangers while traveling long
distances.
A good way to enter this new Astro period is to plan your
time. If you’re not careful, you’ll get caught up in Jupiter’s magnanimous
spirit and accept way more holiday invites than you can possibly handle. That’s
Sag for you.

Jupiter, drop us a line. And, remember to ‘like’ The Urban Goddess on Facebook.
