Winter Solstice
The winter solstice represents the turning point where the days start getting longer, signifying a new cycle of growth and potential.
For 6 months the days have been getting shorter as the darkness grew. But on the Winter Solstice, the Light returns. From here the days will continue to grow longer, brighter, warmer until the Sun is strong enough to return life to everything in nature. (The Seasonal Soul)
