The Birthday of the Astrological Wheel on the Spring Equinox is one of my
favourite days of the year but this year the vortex of energy is phenomenal as it is
a day before the New Moon in Aries, flanked on one side by Saturn’s ingress into
Pisces, with Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius and Mars’s into Cancer on the other.
These three sign changing events within the same month as the Equinox have
been long awaited and mark endings and beginnings unlike any other month we
are likely to see this decade! We have a stellium in Aries: Chiron, Jupiter, Eris,
Sun, Moon, and Mercury, and Aries as the first sign of the zodiac is nothing if not
new life. Over the last several weeks there has been wound poking, then healing,
there is the right to fight for what is right (according to Natural Law not man’s Law),
there is gumption with wobbles, mental chatter succumbing to instinct, and
dreams beginning to be recognized as the bedrock of Human existence. All of it
comes together to shape your individual form right now.
No matter how much or little of Astrology is understood, everyone can feel
something churning, stirring, bubbling, and brewing, and a clear sense of the need
for something new, something else, even if exactly what may not yet be known.
Some of us do know and this time is simply designed for spellcasting. You need
only the force of your intention and the words to match it. Speak it, think it, write it,
but do not neglect it. It what? Your desires, informing you not through the mind but
through the body. Aries does not ask for permission or justification of its desires, it
is a birthright. And every Spring Equinox is about birthing oneself anew, through
the sheer necessity to be Creation.
I do not intend on writing about every weekly or monthly aspect and providing
regular astrological updates here, there are more than enough fantastic sources
available. But as a Moonchild (the Moon is particularly precious to me) I do feel
compelled to mark at least her most significant moments. Instead of describing
and explaining the specific aspects to the Moon, I will simply be presenting what I
interpret the current energies to be communicating to us in what I call Lunar
Whispers.
Come out and play, my sweet bundle of flames. You have rested enough. No, do
not turn back as you walk towards me, you’ll only stumble and I am impatient for
your arrival. Stretch on your way, in cartwheels if you will, but do not stop. My cool
cheeks await your hot breath. Oh fool you forgot in your winter slumber, the wolf’s
scent now in your nostrils is yours. Run my Hunter, remind the ground of your
Thunder. Yes, yes like that, laughing through the Night as the branches tear your
skin and your blood becomes the Dawn. How glorious you are to behold after
being steeped in the Sacred Waters. I asked Her to ready you for me, and so you
are. The story of before is no longer etched upon you, you are no longer tied at
the waist. There are no more questions, for you are the answer.
Show me what it looks like to be free. When I first made you, you were free. I have
crafted everything for you, show me what it looks like as you blaze across it,
shaping it into more magnificence for those who follow your trail. What is now
yearning for your seed? What will you suffuse with your Life Force? Who will you
take for your pleasure, Lover, whom will you learn to please? Take you must when
I give, please you must because I give. And what will you do to protect what is
given? You must stand guard of it all, of them all. This is when I love you most,
when you remember that every flame must burn strong and bright, and your
seething, scarlet radiance incinerates that which would extinguish any of my
beloveds.
Never forgetting my darling, to tend to yours.
I long to see you leap. Come out and play.
