Return of The Light | Astrology & Energy Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

The sun pauses, the night stretches long, and we get a rare chance to listen for what wants to begin. We gather at the solstice with a fresh Sagittarius new moon behind us and a firm Capricorn season ahead, trading scattered effort for grounded intention and real momentum. I share why the shortest day signals more than a celestial milestone—it’s an opening to declare what you’ll grow, what you’ll release, and what foundations will actually hold your next chapter.

We explore how Capricorn energy rewards structure, patience, and coherence, and why Mars moving into Capricorn can feel like relief after a slog. If you’ve been stuck, this is your green light to simplify your systems, choose fewer, better priorities, and make small promises you keep. The waxing sun mirrors the waxing moon, so expect steady gains rather than instant fireworks. I explain why the new year might feel “late-blooming,” with many sensing real movement by February, and how to use this window to close loops, honor completion, and create containers that protect your focus.

Together, we honor traditions—Hanukkah, Christmas, winter and summer solstices—and return to a shared theme: the light comes back and so do we. You’ll hear practical prompts to set strong foundations, ideas for rituals that anchor gratitude and clarity, and a look ahead to an illuminating early January full moon. If you’re ready to step into growth with stability under your feet, this conversation offers a compass and a calm pace.

Join our Living Magically activation on January 1 at 7 p.m. Eastern to harness the 1-1 portal, align with the new year energy, and seed what you want to build. If this resonates, follow, share with a friend who needs grounded hope, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Welcome to Living Magic Lee. I'm your host, Magical Michelle, and this is a very, very special week. So if you're watching this live, I'm coming to you on the day of the solstice a little bit early. Normally I do this on Monday, but during the holiday season, um, I'm just doing things whenever I absolutely can. Um, so I just wanted to pop on because it's the solstice, and give you some energy activation and give you the key um key energy for this week, which is the return of the sun. And we also had a potent um Sagittarius new moon. And then, of course, we also had the sun move into Capricorn. So a lot happened in just the span of a few days. And whether you celebrate Hanukkah, so if that's the case, happy Hanukkah. We're coming to the accumulation on the 22nd of Hanukkah, whether you celebrate the winter solstice, which technically anyone and everyone can because it's really about the that still point in the year, and whether you celebrate summer solstice for so for Jillian and all my down under um summer solstice people, happy summer solstice. Because what happens is right now the sun stands still. That's the moment in the northern hemisphere, which is where most of you are. This is the moment when the night is longer than the day. It's the shortest day today and um the longest um night overnight. And technically last night, mother's night, was where we welcome the return of the sun this morning. The still point was today at um earlier in the day. And as we move forward, we we every single day get a little bit more. Um, we the reason why we call things waxing is actually because when you're dipping the candles, um every single dip makes the candle bigger. So as the sun is waxing, it becomes bigger in the sky from this point on. And we are also in a waxing moon. So now we've had the Sagittarius new moon, and we've moved out of Sagittarius, and as we pass that, we're actually in a new moon, we're in the new season, we've moved into Capricorn, both the moon and the sun are now in Capricorn, and that is very powerful for setting solid foundations for the new. We are ending this year so strong. And remember that the meaning of completion is also I am whole and I am complete. So maybe there's some tidying up of loose ends happening right now, but we celebrate whatever you celebrate, whether that's Christmas, if that's the case, Christmas Eve and Christmas, Merry Christmas. Whatever you're celebrating, whether that's just celebrating yourself and your sovereignty, the astrology basically is very gregarious going forward. We have passed that little turmoil section that was so difficult. And now it's about celebrating each other. Now it's about creating um memories and family, and and it's really hard to like get stuff done because this is still the still point of the year. Um, if you're in the in the southern hemisphere with with the fading of the sun, you're in the um you're probably in high growth season, so you might be getting a lot done. But up here in the north, this is a time for celebration of the harvest of how far you've come, seeing what you already are and what you have, taking stock of where you are, so that you have that forward momentum as the year comes. In fact, it's going to be a really magical year, not easy, but magical for sure, transformative for sure. And that transformation is going to cumulate with that um 5th of January. We have a full moon, and it's going to be big and powerful. And so, right now, thinking about where you're going, inviting the illumination in, inviting the light in, and gratitude. This is going to be an incredible week to be grateful for all that you are, all that you've created, where you're going, and what you already have. So take a deep breath and just be in the activation of that end of the 1212 portal and the beginning of that new energy. That new energy is going to be the one energy. This is the end of the nine time frame. And so I'm even calling it the end of the endings. Um, so as we go into the next year, we still have a little bit of time for the year of the snake. So this is the final shedding because the snake's got to grow to get its full potential. So from that, from this point on, we're in growth. From this point on, every single day, the sun is waxing, the moon is waxing, our skin is shed, finishing its shedding, and we are growing and we are stepping into our fullest potential. We are inviting more light into our bodies, we're inviting more illumination into our time, we are inviting celebration and joy and peace and harmony and coherence into our life, and that creates abundance and security and stability. Capricorn is all about stability, and what is the systems and stabilization that's going to be a foundation to build upon? What seeds are you planting? What are you gestating? What are you creating going forward? We have Mars also in Capricorn, and that's going to give us momentum. So if you've been feeling stuck and all of a sudden things start feeling lighter, take it, wipe it off your shoulders, let go, because we will have that momentum as we see this new year. Now, you might not feel the full new year. Um, it'll have a little bit of a late start to a certain extent because the wheel of the gear isn't exactly a still point. Like you aren't going to just suddenly see everything happen in one day. I think people will feel the new year a little bit more as we get into February, as we get into the year of the fire horse. But we are starting to see movement now, and we are starting to go in the right direction now. So the invitation, if you would like to join us, is we're going to be having um a big, probably one of our most fabulous online gatherings, and I'm so excited for it on January 1st on the 111 portal, because it's January 1st. It's the first day of of the new year. It is January, which is a one-month, and it's a one year. So the 1-1 portal, we would invite you to come to the Living Magically activation at 7 p.m. Eastern to really harness that new year energy. So um that's my invitation to you. But this week, my my celebration is you, and my celebration is your success and your gratitude and your how far you've come. So really look at that. The perspective right now is how far have I come, and what am I going to be bringing in? So I'm gonna keep this very short because it is the holidays. I love you. Have a magical everything, have a happy everything, whatever you celebrate, all of it is a return of the light. All of it is a return to self. All of it is a celebration of how far you've come, all of it is a gratitude for where you're going, all of it is a return to self and the ability to serve from a place of wholeness. So remember, you are whole, you're complete, you're sacred, you are the vessel. And of course, if you don't feel all those things and you need some help getting there, I do have some one-on-one um sessions left. Um, and we're going to be offering a first of the year, probably in the next couple of days, uh, put out something about a first of the year review to um to get ready for this you for this new year. But in general, go have a magical holiday season because I know a lot of people take off at this time. Be in the wonder, be in the joy, be the change you wish to see. And with all of that, happy solstice, happy return of the sun, happy return of the moon growing in its fullness, and live magically. Be an absolute magical week. I love you,
