The Winter Solstice marks the year's longest night—the moment of deepest dark before light begins its return. As the Sun enters Capricorn at 0°, cardinal earth grounds us in the paradox: this is both ending and beginning, the still point where the year turns on its axis.

This is the gateway of patient trust. In the longest night, new light is born. What feels like dormancy is actually preparation. The solstice asks not for action but for faith in what's gestating beneath the surface. Honor the dark, and know that every day forward brings more light.
