Diamond

Astrological term for the perihelion, the point in the Earth's orbit at which it physically is closest to the Sun. From a geocentric point of view, this is the point at which the Sun is closest to the Earth.
The corresponding opposite point is the Black Sun, the term used to describe the aphelion and point of greatest distance between Sun and Earth.
In geocentrical or astrological view, our sun currently passes the so-called "Diamond" every year around January 3rd.
The diamond has virtually no significance in astrological interpretation.
Ephemerides
See list below. The perihel is around 283° or 13 Capricorn, the Aphel around 103° or 13 Cancer, these days.[1]

Notes and References
- ↑ Regarding the seasons: It's because of the earth's axial tilt that around the December Solstice the North Pole looks away from the Sun and the Northern Hemisphere gets less of the Sun's direct rays. This is why it's cold in the Northern Hemisphere in the months of December, January and February. In the Southern Hemisphere it's the other way round
