Winter Solstice December 21, 2015 at 8:49 pm PT is Winter Solstice, the longest night in the northern hemisphere.

People are in touch with their emotions and can express what they feel, there is a pleasant sense of well being and generosity, and encounters with others are powerful. The Taurean Moon also sextiles Neptune in Pisces for creative...

Highlights this week are a festive double Pig Thursday, and a new Moon at 5:36 pm PT on Sunday that begins Fire Rat month on Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year!

HAPPY CANDLEMAS 2013! February 2 is Candlemas, also known as Imbolc or Michaelmas. Today marks the point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Candlemas is an auspicious day for divination with all types of animals — not just groundhogs! Contemplate a question that has a yes/no solution, then start observing the movement of animals. So take some time today to observe nature, and get a second opinion from the creatures that surround us. My favorite form of animal divination is ornithomancy, divination from the flight of birds. A bird flying to the right means yes, to the left...
