TODAY marks the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere, and the annual return of an ancient solar festival.
Significantly, today there is also a total lunar eclipse, lending additional emotional power and importance to the cycle.
The Earth, Moon and Sun will be lined up together with the Earth in the middle — say, between a rock and a hot place? 
“With Mercury Retrograde, and Pluto thrown into the mix,” astrologer Lauren counsels, “we have a lot of healing, renewing, and rebuilding energy.”
“It’s time to throw out the old and make way for the new,” she says.

After weeks of buildup, it’s finally time to go outside and see the full moon go dark — or, if it’s cloudy, watch the total lunar eclipse over the Internet. (Click below on the moon to watch):

It is both the Sun and the Heart, Theosophy teaches, that are the great Renewers. Indissolubly connected, each continuously radiates a mixture of cosmic forces — here on our level, they have similar functions, both physical and spiritual.
Occult astrology and astronomy identify many ancient temples, chambers and pyramids around the world as being connected to sun and moon symbology. Such sites and mounds are usually considered mere burial tombs by archeologists ignorant of the occult traditions.

At the time of their construction these sites were in fact intended, says Theosophy, to be sacred places of initiation. Describing the Spiritual Sun, called “Agni,” the ancient Rig-Veda declares: “His radiance is undecaying…
“… the intensely-shining, all-pervading, unceasing, undecaying rays of Agni desist not, neither night nor day.”

“The Sun has but one distinct function,” Blavatsky explains to her students (Transactions, 116) — “it gives the impulse of life to all that breathes and lives under its light. The sun is the throbbing heart of the system, each throb being an impulse. … This impulse is not mechanical but a purely spiritual, nervous impulse.”
