The Solstice on the 21st of December at 10:02 GMT
The Rite of Passage that is the Turning of the Light is a threshold acknowledged globally as the imbalance of Light and Dark reaches its natural crescendo. Two differing perspectives nicely balanced as Southerners prepare for the descent of the Light from the luminous high perched throne, whereas Northerners celebrate the rebirth of Light from within the cavernous dark.
Beautifully mirroring each other, this partnership defines our world. The Light does not see inside things. That is what the dark is for. Our essence may be true light but it has to find form in the world through the veil of liminal shadows.
As you hold a space on this momentous threshold, our thoughts naturally wander towards the immediate path forward on this Turning – southerners look down and in and northerners look up and out – remember that it is in those places where your thoughts never assume to wander, the truth of your being is discovered.
Blessings to you and yours on this Solstice morn, the Sun entering Cardinal Earth, or tropical Capricorn, at 10:02 GMT and Jupiter conjoins with Saturn for the first time in a couple of millennia on the Solstice at 18:20 GMT.

https://www.andrewsmith.ieAstrology has been my sole source of income, my way of being and the way that I live since discovering it on the 17th Jan 1993. Self-taught, I did sojourn with a correspondence course with the Faculty of Astrological Studies under the tutorship of Christine Tate-Wheeler, completing three of the four year training modules in a little under a year. However, I never sat the exams due to my commitments to seeing clients and running a school of astrology called The Dublin Astrological Centre.I’ve been ever so fortunate to have attracted people who wanted to work with me from the very beginning of my path and I’ve worked with clients intensely on a daily basis since 1994. I have a varied clientele, located all over the world, and have worked privately with individuals and corporately with business, sports clubs, political parties and religious institutions for over two decades. My practise is based in my office in Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland, from where I write, divine, create and see clients in person or via ZOOM.Until the time of my movement onto my current path, I was reading Geography in Trinity College, Dublin and playing football, two additional passions I still have today. I currently reside in Greystones, Ireland with my family. My life-partner and wife, Karen, walks the same path as an astrologer and we have two children, Sarah and Maya. Together we run the Blue Rose, a school of astrology and spirituality and have students all over the world who download our classes, join in via ZOOM or attend in person.
My focus is evident in my extensive public writing. I am interested in helping people develop a deeper confidence in their commitment to what they lOve and living what they love. And I would lOve to share my passion with you and to work with you concerning what you love.I look forward to working with you.
