listen while you read
on a Spring Equinox
Where the Equinox and New Moon pair,
square dance, within a day. Synchronize
their cycles, their oracles.
No wonder modern astrologers
and astronomers alike
begin their circles
at this point,
and call it zero degree Aries.
Where, unlike other days
of our lives, we will see
the constellated stars of the Fish
and Water Bearer
in the watery night sky.
As Pluto enters Aquarius,
since its last subtly powerful
entrance in 1777,
to subconscious applause.
What gates will open.
What radiance will happen.
What significance will it bring
to our consciousness;
to our masculine and feminine.
What light of our own will we bring
to this rare Cosmic Occasion.
How often have you taken in a Solstice or Equinox? Or an eclipse. What if you let yourself quietly ponder, and enter, more than passingly, the marvels and mysteries of each one, and other ancient-to-present cosmic events, other meaningful celestial happenings?
Make a promise to yourself to witness firsthand the next Solstice or Equinox, solar or lunar eclipse, wherever you are,
while it's unfolding. Ideally some place outside, in or close to Nature. Alone or with others. Sense into the subtle energy of it, the mystery; the experience of balance, and the quality of the light, the subtle or dramatic difference of the whole atmosphere.
