Guest guest Posted December 21, 1999 Report Share Posted December 21, 1999 Hi All, The Winter Solstice is tonight... and it's a most unusual occurrence because there will be a Full Moon at the same time. The exact time of the solstice is Dec. 22, 7:44 am GMT... that's 2:44 am EST. The exact time of the Full Moon is Dec. 22, 5:31 pm GMT... 12:31 pm EST. The Solstice is the entry of the Sun into 0 degrees Capricorn. And shortly before the exact moment of the Full Moon, the Moon will go into 0 degrees Cancer, exactly opposite the Sun... that is, on the other side of the earth. The Full Moon is the time of the highest energies of the month, the best time for meditation. And the Winter Solstice is the turning of the year, the death of the old and the birth of the new. I received this post recently: >Forwarded is information about a phenomenon that >occurs once in a century. >Thought it was appropriate as we approach this date.

Wherever we are in our work at the time of the Solstice Full Moon, we will have extra-powerful energies to work with! Love, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
