O Stelle! The Full Cold Moon in January arrives tonight. In the northern hemisphere, this is traditionally the month when temperatures plummet. The heavens are particularly active just now with five planets visible in the early morning sky. A rare alignment of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
As above so below. If there is an increase in certain activities just now, blame it on the stars. Mercury influences communications. Venus provides a spark for love and attraction. Mars is the god of war. Jupiter, is the largest planet in our solar system, governs growth and prosperity. Saturn is the taskmaster of the group and puts a focus on conformity. At this time, Mercury is still retrograde until January 25th. Combine all this with a full moon and the night is full of possibilities.
The wheel of the year rolls deeper into the quiet time. The oak trees have let go and the rusty canopy settles on the sleepy grass.
“I rejoice that there are owls. Let them do the idiotic and maniacal hooting for men. It is a sound admirably suited to swamps and twilight woods which no day illustrates, suggesting a vast and undeveloped nature which men have not recognized. They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all have. All day the sun has shown on the surface of some savage swamp, where the double spruce stands hung with lichens, and small hawks circulate above, and the chickadee lisps amid the evergreens, and the partridge and rabbit skulk beneath; and now a more dismal and fitting day dawns, and a different race of creatures awakes to express the meaning of Nature there.”
