Winter Solstice Celebrations Based on Your Zodiac Sign
The dark is here, but the light is coming, witches: The 2019 winter Solstice occurs on December 21st, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. Not only does the Solstice mark the beginning of a new season, it’s also the start of the sun’s ingress into the cardinal sign Capricorn. On this day and night, we celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the transformation from darkness to the light. With the change of the season, we will embrace personal growth and evolution — leading us to be more in tune with nature and in harmony with ourselves. The sun stands still on the Tropic of Capricorn, thinning the veil between the spiritual and physical world. Spirits will come out, but with the proper protection and right vibe, we can welcome the good spirits with open arms.
As we honor this transition, here are the best ways for you to celebrate based on your zodiac sign.

Connect your mind and body by watching a calming ASMR video with friends. You’ll have the tingles all night, which will help calm the frenetic Solstice energy. Perhaps you’ll be motivated to make your own unique video — for a good time or even just for laughable Instagram posts. One thing is certain, your stress will be reduced, allowing you to sleep like a baby through the long winter's night.

Your generous heart will want to give back to the local community at Yuletide by starting a charity (like a coat drive) at school. Your classmates will help out by donating old clothing and items they no longer have use for. Hold hands with your classmates in a circle to send good vibes to the items being donated for an extra dash of Solstice magic. \

Winter is a time of introspection. You’ll find that journaling your emotions, plans, and dreams will help you heal old wounds and relationships — even giving you clarity on the present and future. Reflecting will allow you to see your right or wrong part in situations with your pals. This may prompt you to reconnect with old friends that you haven’t seen in a while. \

You’re in the mood to nest this season, which is why the best magic for you is to cleanse and declutter your living space. Make your bedroom hygge to create a place that serves as a serene escape from the holiday mayhem. You may choose to spruce up your room with cute seasonal decorations to add some holiday flair.

Although the temperatures have dropped, you may want to spend time outdoors strolling around town with your besties. Just bring a warm pair of gloves and a hat to keep yourself warm while prancing around in the cold weather. Connecting with the rhythms of nature and enjoying the seasonal scenery will do you good during the Solstice — you’ll feel at peace with the universe. But remember, the daylight hours are few so enjoy them while you can. \

Have a low key masquerade party with your coven during the Solstice. Be sure to give your coven little trinkets to show them how much you care during the get-together (to keep the Solstice tradition alive). Put on some classic seasonal tunes like Lady Gaga’s “Winter Wonderland” and toast to a new season filled with wonderful opportunities while dancing all night until sunrise.

Slowwww down, Libra! It’s been a crazy few weeks and you need to take a sec to center yourself. The Solstice is an optimal time for you to balance out school, your part time gig, and hang out sessions with your close friends. As long as you can find the middle ground within all these areas of your life, you’ll be flying high into winter.
Jose Romussi8/12Scorpio
Embracing your shadow self may make you feel like a part of the movie Us, however it’s essential to honor the edgier part of your mind, heart, and spirit. This means talking about taboo topics and honoring your gothic sentiments. Once you accept and heal your fears, you’ll feel like a free bird. No one is judging you — except maybe you. Release your insecurities. \
Jose Romussi9/12Sagittarius
Sometimes your fiery nature gets the best of you, which can cause frustration. During the Solstice, you can use a little magic to cool down your temper. First, write down your annoyances. Then place the paper in a jar of water. Freeze the jar. Your grievances will be frozen for the season and will create an easy going chill vibe throughout winter.
Jose Romussi10/12Capricorn
It’s your time to shine! Find your inner light by accepting yourself 100% this season. This means stating daily affirmations while lovingly looking at yourself in the mirror. No, you won’t be considered a narcissist by your squad. In fact, your friends will marvel at your confidence. Make peace with your body, heart, and mind during the Solstice to ignite the spark within that’s been dormant for months.\

You may be the victim of an energy vampire, which means it’s time to light the Yule log for self-protection. It’s the witchy and less smelly alternative to having garlic cloves throughout your house. Burning a Yule log in the fireplace on the eve of the Solstice will safeguard your energy from those pesky vampires, and also send negative vibes far away from your home.
Jose Romussi12/12Pisces
The winter Solstice is a great time to host a party, as it’s important to spread the cheer with one’s family and friends. Create gifts filled with seasonal treats like dried fruits, nuts, spiced apple cider, and gingerbread. For an after dinner Solstice ritual, have each guest write down their goals on wish paper, then let it burn in the air to manifest their dreams.\
