Three days before and after the solstice can be a very sensitive time of deep change in &#8220;the force,&#8221; when we are well advised to cultivate peace and quiet. On the solstice, Venus will station retrograde (appearing to stop and go backward) in the most mysterious constellation of all, Capricorn, Sign of the Unicorn. This rare Venus station event overshadows the <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">next six months (until the next June solstice) with an important message about the great need now for humanity to embody a more pure expression of mature and selfless love that is expressed through compassionate thoughts, actions and words. This kind of Capricornian love was expressed by the late Italian film director and screenwriter Federico Fellini when he wrote, &#8220;We must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should learn to love each other so much to live outside of time\u2026 detached.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another gentle heads up reminder&#8230;Mars is now moving toward an exact opposition with Uranus (which happens every 2 years or so) and this aspect will be exact beginning on Dec. 23rd, which can reflect some jarring or explosive energies and events as well as feelings of restlessness and impulsive tendencies. Thus it becomes even more important that we keep calm, rest, create balance and avoid making any hasty decisions from now and through the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>With love and gratitude,<br \/>\nJuliana<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now we are moving into the Solstice Still Point which will occur exactly on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at 17:11 UTC.
