Yule

At this momentous time in the solar year, the Sun leaves Sagittarius behind and steps into Capricorn, creating a transferal of authority between the planetary rulers of these signs, Jupiter and Saturn. Traditionally known as the mighty but benevolent “King of the Gods,” Jupiter bestows higher wisdom and spiritual understanding. Saturn is the ruler of time, the planet who most loves process. Although this is the darkest of all days, then, we are still able to remain optimistic, sure in our belief that the Sun will now begin his long journey back from the Underworld, just as he does every year. In celebration of the returning strength of the God and the rebirth of the Sun, create fire, and honor the light. Burn a Yule log made of oak, and start the fire with a piece of last years Yule Log. Jupiter’s abundance can also be generously shared with loved one’s, whose importance in our lives is made clear to us by Saturn. Exchange gifts, blessings and warm thoughts at this most joyous time of year.
