New Moon in Aries

The cosmos continues on its destined pathway. Our dear Luna revolves around us, coming out of her darkness today. She is renewed. Energy waves from the new moon radiate awareness in our intuitive natures. So we renew as well. Aries always brings abruptness. The tone is sharp and short, loud and determined. Assertive is the Ram.

A cold, strong wind brings in a spring storm. The tempest will break soon, bashing branches to the ground. Look out below!

How humble is the garden now. Shades of green mix with the winter dried grasses. Noble, durable dandelion emerges, but the hungry bumblebee floats above, not tasting the nectar. Too bitter? Nothing for early pollinators? Humble wood violets emerge. Forsythia bobs in the breeze. Ajuga is on the way. Virginia bluebells too. Peach and plum blossoms only need warmth to fluff open. Only, it needs to be sunny for a few days.

Two house cats lounge on their window perch. Serenity and slumberous is their mood. A simple life. A safe life. The hope is Stella and Tesoro will pass a lifetime in this house. Who needs a weighted blanket with these two!

Oh, the days pass in this uncertain time of want and need. The want for what was to be. The need for what is to stop. Reflecting on hard times gone by, did it feel like this during the Second World War? The unsettling unknown of how long the misery would be. Who could be lost? Day to day, month-to-month, year to year as resources shrink. The war, everything went into fighting the war, the Great War. As Yoda says, “wars not make one great.”

During times of change, we see the best; we see the worst of us.
