then the moon wanes sweetly away in the sign of lovers….

I love the moon in Libra – and not just because I’ve my natal moon there, conjunct the beautiful binary fixed stars Spica and Arcturus (the goddess and her consort).   The moon in Libra seems to make things sparkle more brightly than on other days – as though Venus, ruling planet of Libra and Taurus, has imbued everything with more of her transforming presence.

Today of all days  it seems truly apt that the moon should shine down on us from the sign of Venus while the Goddess herself makes a lovely aspect to lover-boy Mars.  It all feels positively lovely!

Happy Valentines,  dear readers.
