Here Comes the Sun

I am the Sun. It is the heat generated in my core that makes all life possible. It is my light that makes this world and other worlds visible to you. I am all pervasive, visible to all; and even the blind who do not have sight feel my warmth on their face. When my heart collapses and my end comes, so will yours: my death is your death. I burn with a splendid fire and my power is so strong that planets pay their homage to me by spinning around me. I need no borrowed power, the energies of creation burn within me. I need no borrowed light, I am the light.

It is no coincidence that the Sun is exalted in Aries, a sign whose sacred words are “I am.” It takes great courage to announce who you are and there is nothing riskier than displaying your true self because rejection then can become a mortal blow to the soul. But once you announce who are, once you take a stand, then everything else falls into place. The world reorients itself around you and you see who your true allies are, and those who are your foes and what you need to do becomes clear.

and your phone

And by how you’ll go to a dictionary
To nail the nuance of a word
But miss the heart of the person who said it

Neptune, get off my Mars!

I went crying to Mike recently. I do that lot, go crying to him. “Why,” I whined, “is my energy so low?” It was, too. Two weeks ago I sprained my neck, felt fatigued for no discernable reason and my will to engage in life faltered. Everything seemed too much, getting out of bed seemed too much. The doctors could see nothing wrong; my thyroid levels were normal.

One of the things Mike pointed out was that Neptune had just turned retrograde and was on its way to square my Mars again. I was reading recently that Mars is our will to power and you need it to engage in life. I have a highly aspected Mars and I identify with it more than anything else in my chart. Mess with it and you mess with me (and my chart) in a big way and here’s Neptune casting its foggy, damp, life-sucking influence all over the one planet I need the most.

Venus in Scorpio

Cast a spell
With a look
So deep, so intense

It burns the soul
And makes the heart yearn
For just a little bit more of you

And afraid
Of that light and of that passion
That run so very deep.
