Winter Solstice

Welcoming Saturn Home
The Dying Part of the Year
In All Her Forms
December 22nd 2017

“Dance Dance dear goddesses of naked awakening. Sing to us your song of sorrow; remind us how the taste of every feeling dwells well within your all-embracing bosom.

Dance dance dear goddesses of the silent mystery, seduce our every curiosity and take the dream to where it belongs, beyond the horizon in a land truly given.

Dance dance dear goddesses of mayhem, we need the shock, the constant reminder. Speak to us your secret tongues and allow the movement of the elements divine to spin their way back within our nature.

Dance dance dear goddesses of artistic magic, caste your spells of a purifying touch, let the liquids of false action pour out of us and fill our vessels with nectar so pure.

Dance dance dear goddesses of union, hold ever so dear your inseparable quality, and let us witness the joy, the pleasing joy when love is free, when love is everlasting.

Dance dance dear goddesses of anger, your wrath well transformed is better used than any weapon given, turned into an army of supreme force, no affliction can match its power!

Dance dance dear goddesses of harmony, balance out our petty miscalculations, let the peace that appreciates all that is, let that peace be present forever.

Dance dance dear protector goddesses of words so holy, encourage our young kings to learn the language of truth and spread its glory in all the directions and throughout all the times.

Dance dance dear goddesses of creation, we throw our tender hearts at your feet, we beg of you to keep us safe, safe in loving hands that let our fragile roots spread well anchored. 

Dance dance dear goddesses within, we know you live well kept, well kept in our own inner sanctuary!

So dance dance your loudest dance, may the thumping within deafen our grandest doubts and may we all forever remember your perfect home, your perfect world deep deep within us. 

Dance dance dear Goddesses, dance your dance, dance your endless dance, dance your endless golden dance.”

– TarotbyTashi

Hello dear ones,

Welcome to the final chapter of 2017. I feel privileged to be able to share and connect and I appreciate you all very much for it!

I wrote the above praises and invocation to the Great Mother in Boudhanath, Nepal on the 22nd of June 2014. I felt compelled to share this now and the reason behind my decision stems from the wish to continue with our #inallherforms project.  For those of you who do not know or do not remember, around 3 years ago I started a little ongoing project that brings back the Divine and Sacred Feminine into our memory, invoking the Great Mother Goddess “In All Her Forms.”

This project generally starts on or around Decembers Solstice and this year, I feel inspired to add some interesting flavors into the mix.

The way we normally collaborate is to share and post our favourite goddesses, deities and woman of cultural importance on the TarotbyTashi Facebook Page and Instagram Page including notes of inspiration.

This year, we are going to do this AGAIN and this time with a little more zest!

I have decided to extend the honouring period from now until the end of January 2018. I have also decided to fill a cute Navy Blue Box with all the names of everyone who participates and on the 31st of January 2018 I will draw 3 random winners!

What is there to win?

A Personalised Astrological Forecast on how the 2018 Eclipses will be influencing YOU!

I want everyone to go ALL OUT with this project…get your friends on board too and honour the GREAT MOTHER through Video Posts, Images, Poetry, Hymns, Quotes, Art… basically share with us whatever inspires you most.

If posting on Instagram or Facebook, please tag me “TarotbyTashi” and hashtag #inallherforms. This way I will be able to track all the participants and draw 3 lucky winners at the end of January.

If you are not fond of Facebook or Instagram you can always email me your expressions, photos etc and I will post them on your behalf.

I do look forward to make this possible YET AGAIN and to honour the Divine and Sacred Feminine IN ALL HER FORMS.

Some excerpts from the December 2016 Solstice Write Up

What is the Winter Solstice?

The word “Solstice” is derived from two Latin words: sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still.) So basically, Solstice is the time when the Sun stands still.

Speaking in astronomical terms, Solstice is the time when the Sun reaches its highest (summer Solstice) and lowest (winter Solstice) point in the sky. During the winter Solstice we have the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

In the Northern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice usually occurs on December 21st to the 23rd and on June 20th to the 23rd in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Spiritual Importance of Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice was always one of the greatest events on any calendar cycle. This event had deep spiritual meanings in many cultures and in various cases, Winter Solstice was associated with the birth of the Sun.

In Ancient Egypt people celebrated the birth of Horus, in Ancient Rome it was the birth of the unconquered Sun. Ancient Persia celebrated the birth of Mithra and in Ancient Mexico it was the Feathered Serpent.

It seems that all Ancient cultures had similar spiritual meaning for Winter Solstice. This means that all cultures had almost the same interpretation of this astronomical event. This also means that humanity always cared deeply about the rebirth of light.

– Dr. Carpenter

How did you spend Solstice this December 2017?

I ask because it was extra special symbolically and astrologically. I spent mine gathering the last ingredients for the new Solstice Sacred Scent and watched the first light enter a 2700 BC Megalithic Monument, built in homage to the Summer and Winter Solstice. It was a deeply moving moment and I carried all of you in my heart whilst committing to prayers and ceremony. There was an intimate group with me, Mystical Touring and we all felt the deep nourishing silence that only such potent moments can bring forth. You can still capture this silence, right up until the first Full Moon of 2018. So please, do sit with it, retreat if you can and work with the subtle influences divinely.

Astrologically Speaking

  • Saturn has just returned home into Capricorn.
  • Mercury is no longer in Retrograde!
  • The Sun, (almost Venus), Lilith, Saturn and Pluto are all in Capricorn.

Do have a listen to this Voice Recording:

 

I go into some expressions on Saturn returning home. I will be saying more on the Saturn in Capricorn effect very soon.

What I must emphasis on right now is the major Capricornian action in our skies. Just feel it for a second… what do you think will happen when Venus, The Sun, Lilith, Saturn and Pluto all dance with Capricorn? The exact SMASH will take place on Christmas Day (25th of December at 16:25 GMT.) Mercury will soon too enter the show, shifting into Capricorn on the 11th of January 2018. Watch out because this Stellium will ROAR.

How can such intensity be captured written down? I have recorded all of my thoughts on a series of Mp3’s and can send them to you via email. I know y’all are making requests that I set up a formal podcast…and I WILL….I promise…..but for now, do email me if you are interested in hearing all there is to know about this remarkably influential time.

A Ritual for the Capricornian Stellium on the 25th of December 2017

Ambitions, what motivates us, our status in society, who we are out there and who that is really are all key themes now.

Take the time on the 25th to assess what motivates you? What is the driving force pushing you forward? Is it a healthy force or are you driven by poisonous emotions? All poisonous emotions can be transformed…so work with the magic of the 25th to have a good look into what it is that moves you forward? Are you doing all you do for the utmost benefit or not? Just how much of your intentions are pure? All these questions are worthy of answers and you need to answer them to you. Only to you! After you have assessed your ambitions and the governing forces beneath them, take the time to really confirm if you are happy with them, if your heart is pleased? How does your heart feel? Note down your discoveries and re-set your divine intention wherever it is lacking. When we talk about divine intention we are talking about being of a sincere service to all beings, far and wide and to our Earth and its elements. The Capricornian Stelliums influence tends to do really well in a worldly sense so please ensure to harness the energy in a GREATER way and go beyond the narrowness of the ego. A lot of GREAT work can be accomplished under this influence and through simply setting ones intentions, starting a blessed project or planning something out, the 25th is a guaranteed portal towards success when used correctly.

Wow, so many Sacred Scents…

  • New Moon
  • Full Moon

I want to let you know that I have 4 15ml bottles left from the 1st Mercury in Retrograde batch and will be going to the post office on the 27th.  1 bottle costs $28.00 USD + postage and these make wonderful gifts. If you are interested in getting your hands on one, do email me now.

Saturn at 0degrees in Capricorn is on the shelf and ready to send off into the world. I sealed the creation under the influence of Saturn’s return back home.

Is 2017 REALLY over? Almost….

Lets all join hearts to release 2017 into Divine Light and appreciate what it gave us. I know it has been a VERY hard yard for many and here we still are, enduring. Lets be proud of just how strong we all are, marching forward and still willing to love and share. This purity of the heart is freeing so please enter 2018 with a heart of gold, ready to do whatever it takes for the highest of benefits. No matter where you are in the world and no matter what you are doing, you can always set a few moments a day aside to aspire for the best for all of the universe. Making this wish with all of your heart, each and every day, that the entire universe will be happy, free of any suffering and evolve profoundly, is one of the best things you can do.

Stay sunny dear ones and see you soon…

….2018 is a’coming!

HAVE A SAFE AND MAGICAL END OF YEAR
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING
& MAY ALL BE AUSPICIOUS!

Love and light,

Tashi
