May 29 to June 5, 2014 Visible Planets: Morning: Venus Evening: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
Day by day, year by year, century to century, the Mother Earth revolves around our Sun. It is a miraculous cosmic relationship, two celestial bodies committed to one another…’til death do us part. Solar rays kiss the Earth with heat and light, warm her soil and oceans, melt crystalline ice and reawaken the dormant life beneath the frozen winters of her northern and southern hemispheres.
Here in southwestern Colorado, we are blessed with four distinct seasons, and each one is uniquely magical and magnificent. Right now, it’s verdant spring and we are rounding the corner of May and June; crossing from the patient, primal earth-territory of Taurus the Bull into the multi-faceted, duality-rich Gemini lands of laughing brooks, raging rivers, traveling trailers, motorized vehicles, road-trip excursions and end-of-the-school-year celebrations. Seeds have taken root, greens have triumphed over muted blondes and the Twins’ restless, excitable, curious movement, mode and motion is in the air.
Good luck and may the Father Sky, Grandfather Sun, Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon embrace and guide us up, down, around and through the winding roads of life and love, good and evil, dark and light. Blessings, peace and starlight…
