\Reviving Kindness/
Moon in Taurus-->Gemini ***
/moon goes void-of-course at 6:20p PT | 9:20p ET | 1:20a(F) UT ** /
until it enters Gemini at 6:40p PT | 9:40p ET | 1:40a(F) UT (twenty minutes later) ***
At worst it can be tragedy; or sorrow, sadness, and mourning. I learned today of the passing from this world of an old friend I valued very highly, one of the truly best and noblest individuals I have ever known, Anie Nunnally. It is hard for me because I feel I did not do enough to let her know how much she meant to me in her final days. We see into our meanness and selfishness, our egocentricity and lack of kindness, at these times, and that may be harder than seeing those qualities in someone else.
The planets are not doing these things to us. They are markers of time, showing the sorts of things we need to face at each week, month, or day, and do not indicate fatality in reality but are the times when such things will occur if for some reason they have to occur. Whatever you feel sad about in your life, and whatever inadequacies you are facing in yourself, are being brought to light by this aspect, not caused by it. They are brought to light for our benefit, so we can learn to live more graciously, lovingly and courageously.
The funeral procession winds through the grove; a griever
Stands on crossed swords, his scepter pointing heavenward.
Soldiers going through a drill pass by, leaving
All in peace. They confide in a higher power.
A mad bull is held by ropes about his head.
There's no snow for the hearse-sleigh. An iceberg
Displays the aurora borealis. A neat person,
Orderly in business, organizes the memorial.
The guru watches all from a mountain peak where
His face can be seen by believers. An old woman
Collects bits of wood from the river where the boat
Landing washed away. A radical writer believes in
Himself and Anie. A square column memorializes
Her strength. The guru praises her kindness from on high.
