A favourite is Firmicus Maternus and I find this quote of his on the Moon (which I have used in lectures on Moon Phases in the past few years) truly poetic. “…for we feel in our bod

What may make this balsamic Moon especially reflective and introspective is that the next brightest celestial light – that of Venus, the brightest planet after the Sun and Moon – has also dipped into her darkness phase. As she approaches the Sun, Venus (like any other planet) is no long

As the Sun crosses one of its four important turning points, you too may reach a crossroad or threshold. The Sun has four important points, known as the equinoxes and solstices. Each represents a unique part of the Sun’s annual journey, and marks a transition for the Sun. The equinox transiti

The element of earth – practical, grounded, solid – is highlighted for the next couple of days. The Moon will soon enter hard working Capricorn, encouraging effort towards long term goals. In addition, the Sun trines Pluto. This is the main aspect of the week, and creates a special oppo

This week is blessed by a waning Moon, which encourages completion, introspection and rest + retreat. The Moon is in the declining or contraction part of her cycle, where she is muting her light as her attention turns inward. Practically, the Moon will get closer to the Sun in preparation for next

As the calendar turns over to September 1, we enter the final third of 2014. (I know, I am as shocked as you are – this year has FLOWN by, but secretly I suspect that has to do with getting a little bit ahem older!) Seasons are starting to change as we approach the September/Libra Equinox on
