This is the Exploring Astrology Podcast, and I'm your host Adam Summer.

It's time for a new story.

I suggest that the stories we need turned up right on time about 5,000 years ago.

We need a new story. We didn't just dream our carefully individuated thoughts. We got dreamt. The time is 9 28 a.m. which is the exact moment of the winter solstice in 2017.

Mountain time. The moment the sun stood still and that's what this

podcast is about. Sherry joins us again to talk solstice but also we include the plant mugwart,

Artemisia vogares, and see just how this lovely dream plant can assist us from this point forward in these solstice moments.

And it's so perfect here in Colorado in that I woke up to snow.

It hasn't been snowing a lot this winter and it also reminds me that I would say over 60% of the solstices and winters that or will say holidays that I've experienced in my life have had snow and it's something I'm always aware of when it's happening.

It's so, well, perfect, right?

Now it's your first time listening to the show.

This is an installment that I started about a year ago and they're called

Plants and planets podcast and if you're only into astrology and if you just don't like plants, well maybe you should listen to the

one I did before this on Saturn, because it kind of relates both the sun who always moves

into Capricorn on the winter solstice and Saturn

who just moved into Capricorn in a way have held hands and crossed this threshold. Now what that also means is that their sonotic

cycle has just begun and I think it's the only sonotic cycle that I haven't done

a podcast on and or a class, but to watch it

closely is important because you can see Saturn in the sky, his rusty tinted yellowish flavor in the sky and soon over the months to come you will

see Saturn appear in the morning's sky and then get higher and higher and

higher until it goes retrograde, a pose of the sun,

etc, and then comes back next year.
