The astrological events of this week are too big for one daily blog. Yet they also constitute a continuum. Today, your itinerant reporter will strive to make a beginning of it with a summary of the up to now combined with a metaphor to carry us forward. Hopefully it will serve to make more sense of things rather than less.
Today is the Cancer Solstice. In 240 BCE a Greek astronomer named Eratosthenes used the occasion of this annual event to estimate the size of the Earth. In doing so he proved for the first time that the Earth is a finite sphere. The playing field upon which all human life takes place was shown to have boundaries and limits. Thus it is clear that we are all in this together. All of us. No exceptions.
This week’s astrology reinforces that message as do recent events in the world and in our personal lives. Like all great truths, it is easy to say, but difficult to make it a permanent part of what we walk around with inside ourselves. Hardest of all is to practice it on the outside where we come into contact with each other. Be that as it may, it seems the time has come to do just that.
