impactDay 12530/52 - The four elements |
A month is seeming like long time. A lot happens in one month,
especially with Mercury, Mars and Saturn all retrograde. Everything in
urgent slow motion.
The new Moon for March is at the end of next week. So a
full week of potential moon dark funk for some, as it passes through
Aquarius and Pisces to it's re-birth in Aries on Friday.
For
astro-buffs, this is the beginning of a new astrocycle. The Sun and a
new Moon in Aries and so it is fitting that Mars and Mercury will
station direct during this lunar cycle. The lunar cycle of the Aries
new Moon is indeed the one in which we can really start to say for
ourselves, 'your time starts now'. (again)
Saturn
won't go direct until June and a quick look at the ephemeris reveals
that this has been timed by the cosmos with a certain piquancy for
planet Earth, to coincide with the exact square between Pluto and
Uranus, depending on where you live in the world on June 25th. So
either the Mayans were out by a few months and life as we knew it will
change forever more from about the middle of the year or . . .? Who
knows.
Anything beyond the next five seconds is not mine
to see and even the next five seconds rarely comes through with great
clarity, even though apparently I am, as are you, potentially fully
aware of at least this far into the future. Which is interesting in and
of itself, something to do with our organic survival, how our life-mind
energy sends tentacles into the future to give us those life saving
seconds to change our minds, move, run, duck, or hit the brakes. We are
truly miraculous.
The Aries new Moon culminates with a
full moon in Libra, Mercury will have gone direct by then so it will be
safe to ring a few people and perhaps to have successfully organised a
full moon party of some sort with your socially loquacious and elegant
Libran friends. May as well. It will be a Saturday night, and as it
turns out the Good Friday Full Moon (on the Saturday). Something to
think about.
I was going to describe the process of writing new Moon
horoscopes, the image above will have to suffice, one must immerse oneself in an awful lot of other people's stuff, which is also your own. It's a bit exhausting . . . . But I got sidetracked which
seems to be happening a fair bit lately. . . .
Basically the first step in
writing new moon horoscopes is to procrastinate. (heh)
I'm no longer
fussed about my propensity for procrastination. As it turns out I get
rather a lot done whilst procrastinating and who's to say that these
activities are of any greater or lesser importance than what I suppose
myself 'should' be doing.
I make deadlines, regardless of how much angst-fuelled energy has gone into trying not to think about them.
Reminds me of the Rumi poem:
Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right. It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want and end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others and fall in.
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Quite.
