Horoscope for the winter solstice.
"On December 21, 2024, at 11:21 a.m. Kyiv time, the Sun will enter 1 degree of Capricorn, marking the beginning of astronomical winter in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the winter solstice. It is directly connected to the ancient calendar astrology, which helped determine the periods when the Sun passed through specific degrees of the zodiac signs," explained astrologer Kateryna Solovyova.
In ancient times, key dates were established that are played out in all major spiritual traditions around the world. There are only eight such universal dates and degrees.
"All symbolic actions carried out during this time reflect the symbolism of the eternal struggle between light and darkness, life and death. One of these dates is the winter solstice, which physically represents the minimum of solar energy, but at the same time marks the turning point toward the Light," Solovyova noted.
The Sun will remain in the tenth zodiac sign until January 19, 2025.
During this period, the following zodiac signs will feel a positive influence:
- Capricorn;
- Taurus;
- Virgo;
- Scorpio;
- Pisces.
Those who should be more cautious about the Sun's influence during this time include:
- Cancer;
- Aries;
- Libra.
"This influence will be most strongly felt by administrators, organizers, leaders of various sectors, individuals involved in construction and architecture, large companies, and government institutions. Primarily, changes may affect situations related to health, leisure with children, various entertainment and gambling activities, public performances, concerts, shows, exhibitions, romantic relationships, creativity, and hobbies," explained the astrologer.

What you need to know about the winter solstice
"Traditionally, the winter solstice is a day of joy, fun, and active actions. During this period, one of the eight main ritual holidays based on the astrological calendar is celebrated — Yule, also known as one of the Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year," explained Solovyeva.
The astrologer believes it represents the victory of light over darkness, as after this pivotal point, the duration of daylight gradually increases. This day was honored by almost all nations and was called the Day of the Invincible Sun, the day of the birth or rebirth of the daylight.
"During this period, the program for the next three months is laid out - until the Spring Equinox. Every year, a person who has not changed their place of residence has the opportunity to correct situations in the same spheres of their radix that are annually involved during the Solstice. They are always the same and are significant for a person," the expert noted.
"Solstice is a time for energy renewal. Some recommend making plans for the upcoming year now. However, the Full Moon occurred on the 15th (meaning the energy of decline is active now), and Mars is in retrograde motion. Therefore, it’s better to focus on completing old processes, reviewing already established situations, and taking stock, so that the energy of the past does not hinder progress forward," she added.

Ritual for the winter solstice
According to the astrologer, to help our inner sun renew itself, it is necessary to leave all negativity in the past, symbolically burning it.
"Write down on a sheet of paper everything you want to part with forever, including negative thoughts and emotions. End each point with the words: 'I forgive and release everything that has happened,'" Solovyeva explained.
Once the list is complete, it should be burned in the flame of a candle. It is important to do this at the moment when the Sun transitions to 1 degree of Capricorn, that is, on December 21 at 11:21 Kyiv time.
"As you watch it burn, imagine that in the fire, all your sorrows, worries, fears, and despair disappear. And don't forget the main lesson of the winter solstice: 'In the deepest darkness, light is born,'" the expert concluded.
