This morning I heard an economic report, which suggests Japan’s depressed economy is partially due to a deep resistance to immigration in a land with an aged and decreasing population. Here in the U.S. we are also dependant upon immigrants for a younger work force, and for new energy and a wide spectrum of viewpoints. Yet we want to squeeze those who come here in desperate search for a better life, and keep them out of sight, dependent upon any employer who wants to exploit their vulnerable status. Obama’s first step towards reform is perfectly timed to the entry of the Sun and Moon into Sagittarius this Saturday morning. Sagittarius appreciates variety in people and cultures, and feels a deep commitment to justice. Sagittarius aims for the heavens and says we are all citizens of the earth. The energy of this sign is a combination of spirit and matter.
Sagittarius is the archer who aims his arrow towards the center of the Milky Way, our Galaxy. There is no end to how universal we really are when we stop to look around us and within us! This new Moon joins the ‘new’ Sun in Sagittarius at 00.° What will you begin in this visionary sign? What new boundaries will you cross? Venus in Sagittarius adds the love magic of the sign to this moment. Sagittarius is open to limitless possibility and responds with boundless gratitude!
November Wren
Three thirty– afternoon
of dark and light November,
the voice of the wren
lifts me from my book
to turn and kneel
before the window’s shining altar.
In the pear tree, just outside,
a tiny messenger,
no bigger than a baby’s fist,
leaps like a beating heart,
her tail, a lever
of sweet uncounted notes,
her throat a channel
for the sound of liquid silver.
She dances to keep her place secure
wedged within the crotch
of the dark branch,
a tiny burst of voice
who sings of interruption,
the piping hymn to the god
who arrives unbidden
in smiling silence, spirit insistent,
a star’s spark in silver twilight.
Wren is the voice of initiation,
and where she leads
beyond the pear tree,
is land uncharted.
She is the last pear left
upon the winter tree,
where next May
a tower of white blossom
will celebrate her visit
from the world of song.

Neptune, the dreamer makes a square to this seed of a Moon cycle. What will come of our visions of the future? If we dream catastrophe, we help to create it, but perhaps we can open our hearts with Sagittarian optimism to new possibilities of peace and understanding. Here is a song for this new Moon, Steve Gold’s ‘Spirit I am.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGQ6W2RCWc
‘Looking in the mirror, I’m asking
Am I the change I long to see?
You know the world, is just a picture
Of what’s inside of you and me’ Steve Gold
Start something your spirit prompts you to begin at this moment! Sagittarius rules long distance journeys, head out to new horizons, even if you don’t know where you will end up.
