At the center of Saturday's Beltane ritual at the Center Symbolic Studies was a stone altar covered with candles and sacred objects, including a silver chalice. Normally two fires are set and people walk between them in a gesture of purification. Fire danger due to dry forests in the upstate New York prevented this, so a candle altar was used instead.

Eric Francis writes: "I'd like to offer a few comments about yesterday's Mercury square Neptune. This is a challenging aspect, as many people experienced. Yesterday, it was connected to the North Node of the Moon (Neptune on the North Node like a big, foggy headlamp) and Mercury exactly square the Nodes. Anything exactly square the nodes can act like a tipping point or factor. Then the Moon itself swept through the arrangement, listing the ship and sending the feeling through our collective emotional bodies with a surge. A number of other planets and asteroids were in the dance — Mars, for instance, in Cancer (hence connected to the Moon)."

If I bring the energy of truth, the power of my vulnerability, I will move a new force, I will open a new space that will welcome growth, and in which my personal tranformation will fuel the other with my release. Then, I could feel the shadow melting into the light, the past into the new."
