Un solsticio es el momento en que el Sol alcanza su trayectoria solar más septentrional o meridional en relación con el ecuador celeste en la esfera celeste. Dos solsticios ocurren anualmente, alrededor del 20–22 de junio y del 20–22 de diciembre. En muchos países, las estaciones del año se definen con referencia a los solsticios y los equinoccios.
“The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.”
“Each solstice shows us that we can choose. We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the Universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to Life when each arrives.”
