A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons.
a life cycle of the earth if you will. anyways... this year... thats today. According to the internet... the winter solstice (6 months) from now is on December 22. below is a picture of what I'm talking about.
I'd like to think the significance of this time is far more important that that of the Gregorian Calendar new years, which is December 31st.
