On 12/21/09 we celebrated the Winter Solstice – the shortest day and longest night of the year, and a time of rebirth and renewal. Today I drew a card from the Tarot to set the theme for the 2009 Solstice. This is the energy that will be flowing in the background as we give thanks for the abundance around us, review the past year, decide what we need to release, and define what we want to achieve during the coming months. The card that was drawn was the card of Justice.

Justice is a very literal card – it means that balance needs to be brought to the situation, whatever is not just must be rectified. Libra (symbolized by the scales of justice) is the ruler for Justice. Libra brings in some very exacting energy – balance brought about through logic, through mental effort. Fine tuning is going to have to be done on all levels – mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.

Before we can begin to rebirth this Solstice we are going to have to make some hard decisions, and be willing to follow through with actions. What we are trying to achieve may not manifest in the form that we desired, but it will be fair to all concerned.
