New Moon coming – look for beauty

The Moon is new in the sign of Libra on Friday afternoon, meaning we are  closing out the lunar cycle begun nearly a month ago. This New Moon  will highlight the themes of deconstruction and restriction we have been  living in 2020. At 23 degrees of Libra, the New Moon activates the  Saturn-Pluto conjunction of January that touched everything  off.  Retrograde Mars in Aries completes a cardinal ‘T-square’, amplifying the  tension and perhaps making us want to DO something.

Then there are Venus (Goddess of Love) – who ‘rules’ the sign of Libra  and therefore the New Moon – and Neptune (the Mystic and sometime  martyr) in part of a grand cross with the axis of karma and destiny.  Meaning, we can choose to look for beauty in our daily life as well as  in our imagination and spiritual life. And, it is time to let go of  rigid ideologies and allow different perspectives on reality.

Our prompts for the short writing session were these:

• List as many ‘re-‘ words as you can (e.g. re-examine, review, redo, rewrite, etc.)

Our longer writing period began with these prompts:

• Pick one of your ‘re-‘ words and write about what you are reviewing/revising/redoing, etc.; or
• Let the photo and quotes from poet Rabindranath Tagore inspire you.
