Friday is the day of the goddess. Each day of the week is associated with a planet. Sunday—the sun. Monday—the moon. Tuesday—Mars. Wednesday—Mercury. Thursday—Jupiter. Saturday—Saturn.
Friday is ruled by Venus.
Friday is for date nights and dancing. Candle-lit dinners, desserts, and sensuality. Music and art. Frolicking in fields, and dreaming by the ocean. Friday is for watching the sunset, and the moonrise. A day of celebration and pleasure.
I love celebrating the day of the Goddess by recognizing my beauty. Being worshiped, and worshiping myself.
Today, I celebrated the winter solstice by watching the sunrise. The solstice is the shortest day of the year. It is the day we welcome the sun back into our lives, and the days become longer.
This is my third time doing this ritual. In 2021, I watched the sunrise not knowing if I could make it through another day. I was completely debilitated by PTSD flashbacks, and drowning in grief. As I watched the sun rise, I begged the universe to help me survive, and overcome the pain I was experiencing.
In 2022, I didn’t know where I would be for the next solstice. So much was changing, and I was letting go of many things that I had worked hard to have, but hoping for something better.
This year has been one of Renewal. I watched the sunrise from the place of my birth. This year I have started over. I have been working to restore myself with increased strength of existence. It has been a year of new beginnings. Because of this work, I have many new projects that are about to come to fruition, and be released.
I don’t know where I’ll be next year, but I know I will be in a better place. Even though the sun cycles through periods of darkness, it always comes back. The solstice is our reminder of the fact that it will return. There are brighter days ahead, and things can get better.
