Daily Horoscope for Virgo Summary

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

The significance of the Winter Solstice to our ancestors was probably because it marked the lengthening of days, which was regarded as a time of rebirth.

Because of its importance, there are simply too many Winter Solstice celebrations and festivals to list. We all know about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. But here are a couple more you may never have heard of!

The Scandinavian Winter Solstice festival of the Feast of Juul involved the burning of Juul logs to symbolize the returning of the sun, giving rise to the Christmas tradition of Yule Logs. There is a Finnish myth about Louhi, a powerful and evil witch that ruled the mythical northern realm of Pohjola. In the myth, Louhi steals the sun and the moon away, holding them captive inside a mountain, causing the waning daylight leading up to the Winter Solstice.

Celebrating the lengthening and shortening of daylight is as old as mankind. All of the celebrations involve Light and the Sun or Son. Candles and fires were lit, and now homes are decorated with electric lights of all colors both inside and out.

Celebrate the return of the light in a way that makes you feel good! Whether it is with friends, family or alone. There is always a reason to celebrate and something to be thankful for!

Wishing you all a very Merry Weekend!

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
