Winter Solstice
This year Winter Solstice is on 22nd Dec 2018 at
06:22. Winter Solstice is celebrated in many cultures in Northern hemisphere. The
most common reason for celebration is that, for one whole year, the hour of day
light is the shortest on Winter Solstice day. From this day onward, the day
light will start to become longer. In addition, on Winter Solstice in Northern
hemisphere, the Sun will rise lowest from the horizon as compare to the rest of
the year.
In astrology point of view, Winter Solstice is where the Sun
is at 270⁰ in the Celestial Coordinate.
Celestial Coordinate is the reference of objects in the sky with
relative to the Earth. That’s mean, we assume that Earth is the central point
where it doesn’t move and the rest of the planets and stars move.
In Chinese Meta-Physics perspective, Winter Solstice or Dong
Zhi is part of the 24 sub-season or 24 Jie Qi.
The 24 sub-seasons (Jie Qi) is used for 60 JiaZi or Thousand
Years Calendar used in the Chinese Meta-Physics system.
In the Qi Men Dun Jia perspective, the Yang Dun starts on
Winter Solstice. So, for those who practice, Qi Men Dun Jia Chai Bu method,
Yang Dun starts on 22nd Dec 2018 at 06:22.
Happy Winter Solstice,
