Christmas: And when we hear the word Christmas, scenes of happiness, snowflakes, decorated trees, and present boxes wrapped in love immediately flood our minds. But there is something more profound, a deeper cosmic and spiritual reason for Christmas—a reason that transcends religion and unites humanity through divine symbolism.
In this fascinating article by Astroeshop, we delve into why Christmas is being commemorated not only from a Biblical context, but also from an astrological, spiritual, and universal context. You’ll find the lost meaning in the date, the cosmic aspects, and how Christmas energy can be correlated with your spiritual aspirations.
Let’s dig deeper than the materialised perception of this international celebration and reclaim the divine force of December 25th.
What Is Christmas?
The Traditional View
Christmas, celebrated on December 25th, marks the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah and focal point of Christianity. Born in modest circumstances in Bethlehem, his life, teachings, and resurrection formed the very essence of Christian belief.
But here’s the fascinating fact: Jesus’ actual birthday is not known, and December 25 was posthumously designated centuries later by Roman officials, not for historical accuracy, but symbolic convergence with already established winter celebrations and celestial changes.
Winter Solstice and the Return of the Light
December 25 – A Date Based on Celestial Rhythm
One of the most convincing arguments why Christmas is celebrated on December 25 is owing to the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Falling somewhere between December 21–23, this moment was reckoned by ancient civilisations as the death and rebirth of the Sun.
On Christmas Day, December 25, the Sun seems to “stand still” and then slowly starts climbing in the sky, extending days and light. It was regarded as a cosmic resurrection of divine power—a new cycle of life, plenty, and spiritual reawakening.
Several ancient festivals such as:
- Saturnalia (Roman)
- Yule (Germanic tribes)
- Dongzhi (Chinese)
We were all part of this transition. Early Christians, realising the divinity of the date, combined it with the birth of Christ, depicting light born in darkness.
Astrological View of Christmas
Cosmic Energies in Action
Astrologically, the time of Christmas is of tremendous planetary and energetic importance.
The Sun moves into Capricorn (Makara Rashi), signified by Saturn (Shani), which represents discipline, order, and long-term karma.
Capricorn represents stability, maturity, and spiritual responsibility—qualities reflected in the life and teachings of Jesus.
The constellation of Virgo, symbolic of the Divine Feminine or Virgin Mother, is often highlighted in Christian imagery, aligning with the idea of Mother Mary and the birth of divine consciousness.
Thus, Christmas marks a cosmic rebirth, where the light within is reborn amidst darkness.
Spiritual Interpretation of Christmas
Birth of the Inner Christ
Christmas is not merely about outward celebration; it’s a metaphor for the spiritual.
Jesus Christ is the symbol of the divine spark within every individual, part of our soul that adheres to universal truth, sympathy, and higher consciousness. On December 25, we honour not only a birth 2000 years before, but also the possibility of enlightenment in our very self.
“Christ is born in the heart of anyone who surrenders to divine wisdom.”
By meditating, serving others, and embracing love at this time, we cultivate our inner Christ energy.
Symbols of Christmas and Their Deeper Meaning
Tree, Star, Gifts – A Vedic Interpretation
Christmas Tree: A symbol of eternal life that remains green throughout the year, much like the Kalpavriksha (wish-granting tree) of Hinduism.
Star on Top: Symbolising the cosmic light or the North Star, leading searchers to the truth, just like the Dhruva Tara in Vedic mythology.
Gifts: Symbolise plenty, thankfulness, and dharma (righteous giving). Sanatan Dharma charity (daan) on auspicious dates increases karmic merit.
Even Santa Claus, when divested of his advertisement image, is like a yogic figure dispensing karma-gained rewards, somewhat similar to Lord Kubera, the Vedic god of prosperity.
How to Celebrate Christmas Spiritually in 2021
5 Powerful Ways to Align with Divine & Powerful Energy
Light a Diya, Camphor, Lamps or Candles: Welcome the return of light around and within you.
Chant Divine & powerful Names: Repeat mantras or affirmations like “Om Christave Namah” or “Om Shreem Hreem Kleem” to synchronise with divine energies.
Perform Seva (Selfless/Unconditional Service): Feed the poor, help someone who needs it. It opens your heart chakra and welcomes blessings.
Meditate in the Morning: Dawn behind the Christmas represents the resurrection of the mind. Just 15 minutes are enough to rewire your mind.
Use Astroeshop’s Christmas Special Kit: Includes a sacred candle, incense to balance chakras, and a prayer card for inner awakening.
Christmas and Sanatan Dharma – A Harmonious Connection
Spiritual festivals have to be divided by religion, many think. But actually, all sacred celebrations are cosmic in origin.
Christmas, when celebrated in consciousness, harmonises hand in hand with Vedic principles:
- The Gita refers to divine incarnations who were born in periods of adharma.
- The idea of Narayan and Christ Consciousness is essentially the same.
- Yogis throughout India have revered Jesus as an awakened soul, such as Paramhansa Yogananda, who referred to Jesus as a “Yogi of the East.”
So Christmas is neither a Western nor an Eastern phenomenon; it’s a universal invitation to bring forth divine love.
