There are only two equinoxes in a year - autumn and spring. There are also two Solstices - winter and summer. In our northern hemisphere, the Winter Solstice falls almost every time on December 21, but due to the fact that the calendar has a leap year, this date sometimes shifts by one day. In 2015, for example, the Solstice was exactly on December 22.

This point is called the beginning of astronomical winter. In fact, winter is coming to its climax on December 21, it’s just that the higher we are towards the North Pole, the more pronounced and prolonged winter is. In theory, from December 21 it should be warmer and warmer, but in reality it will be cold for at least another two or one and a half months.

The winter solstice in the Slavic tradition is one of the main holidays, which is called Solstice or Kolyada. The solstice is celebrated to this day from December 21 to 25.
The Slavs considered this holiday a time renewal and birth of the Sun, and with it all living things, a time of spiritual transformation, a time that promotes both good material and spiritual changes. The night that precedes the winter solstice is considered the patroness of all nights, because it is on this night that the Goddess gives birth to a young solar baby - Dazhdbog, symbolizing the birth of life from death, order from chaos.
During the winter solstice, the Slavs celebrated pagan New Year, who was personified with the deity Kolyada. The main object of the celebration was a large bonfire, invoking and depicting the Sun, which, after one of the longest nights of the year, was supposed to rise higher and higher into the heavenly heights. It was also necessary to bake ritual New Year's pies of a round shape, reminiscent of a celestial body.

However, on this day you cannot think about bad things - under no circumstances enter into an argument with anyone, do not conflict, and if this happens for some reason, immediately ask for forgiveness. The fact is that on the winter solstice, which among the ancient Slavs was equated with our New Year, we lay the foundation for the whole next year; If on this day you rejoice and enjoy communicating with your loved ones, rest assured that a year of joy and fun awaits you. However, if you harbor anger, resentment in your heart, think about unresolved problems, stress at work, etc., then you risk spending the entire next year in a state of tension and stress.

He reported that from now on the sun has turned to summer, the day is increasing, and the night is shortening. For this good news, the king rewarded the headman with money.

Over many winters
I remember the days of the solstice,
And each one was unique
And it was repeated again without counting.
And a whole series of them
It came together little by little -
Those days are the only ones when
It seems to us that the time has come.
I remember them off and on:
Winter is coming to the middle
The roads are wet, the roofs are leaking
And the sun warms itself on the ice floe.
And loving, as in a dream,
They reach out to each other more quickly,
And in the trees above
Birdlings sweat from the heat.
And half-asleep shooters are lazy
Tossing and turning on the dial
And the day lasts longer than a century,
And the hug never ends.

Full Moon and Summer Solstice
On the night of June 20 to June 21, we will witness an event that has not been seen since 1967 - the full moon at the same time as the June solstice.
The Sun reaches its highest point in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the start of northern summer, and its lowest point in the Southern Hemisphere, marking the start of southern winter.
12 hours before this, the Moon will reach full phase and rise again on the night of Monday to Tuesday, 99% illuminated.
The last time two astronomical events coincided was 49 years ago on June 22, 1967.
The next time this happens will be 46 years later, on June 21, 2062.
Why do solstice and full moon so rarely coincide? The full moon occurs quite often between June 20 and 22, but the date of the June solstice “jumps” within the interval, which is why coincidences are so rare.
How to improve energy on the summer solstice
In order not to encounter a problem on the longest day of the leap year, it is better to acquire a talisman as early as possible. You can do this even from the evening of the previous day, meeting the first summer Full Moon.
You should not choose a talisman at random, but based on your plans and desires. For example, if you are a creative person, and you cannot lose inspiration in your search, and there is not enough support under your feet, the Sun will help you.
Wear gold jewelry, use yellow things, put a positive sun on your computer or phone screen.
And if you have a serious step scheduled for this day, an important exam, a meeting on which the future depends, Mars will help with this, even when the Sun intensifies its influence. Help them come to an agreement, add a touch of red to your image.
Finally, the Moon can help make dreams come true, and the Full Moon is a very good time for money rituals. It is unlikely that Mars, who is not indifferent to benefits, or the generous Sun will be against the fact that you decide to increase your finances with the help of the Full Moon.
The full moon peaks on June 20 at 14.02 Moscow time.
The summer solstice will fall on June 21, 01.34 Moscow time.
