with a truth seeking heart and a curious mind is as natural as breath. Studying the night sky to discover patterns of movement is as old as Time itself and has been a source of inspiration and guidance since the beginning of civilizations. This is the place we return to again and again as we search for answers and find questions, igniting feelings of awe in a grand design larger than the self. The night sky reminds us of our smallness and our complexity, and our beauty and our uniqueness.
Mercury is going out of bounds today. A planet is considered to be OOB when its declination in the sky is beyond 23°27’. In this position, the planet is outside the boundary limits of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. It has reached the peak of one of its cycles. Mercury begins this stretch beyond a declination of 23°27’ in Sagittarius and does not return to its normal declination until January 4 2021 when it will be in the sign of Capricorn. This is a really long time for the messenger of the gods to be exploring the outer limits of its domain.
If you were to encounter a dragon, what would you do?
Would you run and hide?
Would you attempt to find its weakness in order to slay it?Would you befriend it?
Would you have the courage to ride it?
I like to think that I would be a dragon rider, or at the very least, a friend…an ally.
In ancient times, eclipses were thought to come in the form of a dragon that swallowed the sun, evoking a mixture of fear, reverence and awe. The head of the dragon is called Rahu and the tail of the dragon is called Setu. Rahu takes us into the material and mundane parts of the world. Setu releases us out of the physical world and into the world of spirit.
These two cosmic giants breathing together-
inside. each. one. of us.
Blessed witnesses to their dance of light and learning.
Our descendants, the children of the future
watch from the stars and the moon,
cheering us on
as they wait for their turn
to return
to earth in physical form.
A little girl waves and a little boy sits,
inside of this hopeful, glowing light,
watching, waiting, witnessing-
calling us home to ourselves and each other.
