The Storyteller's Night Sky with Mary Stewart Adams

Thanksgiving week there’s a magical event happening in the morning sky, one that begs the question: when am I central to what occurs in the world around me?

3rd century Neoplatonist Plotinus wrote: The universe extends as far as the soul goes, but no further. The boundaries of its existence are determined by the degree to which, in going forth, it has the soul to keep it in being.

Friday's Full Moon occurs near Uranus, which means that now we begin anew the great tale of human becoming.

A mighty week is upon us, inaugurated 11.3.24 by the opposition between Mars and Pluto that will occur two more times in the coming months due to Mars’ impending retrograde motion.

This week is the seasonal cross quarter, or halfway point, which includes the mischievous festival of Halloween, followed by All Saints Day, then All Soul’s Day, and then the several weeks of honoring loved ones who have died. How does the soul know?

Moon passes by Mars among Gemini stars this week, where the red planet will soon make its biennial retrograde loop, which finds it passing through these stars several times from now until April 2025.

A calendar is a brilliant mechanism formulated over centuries of sky watching that works with the magic of a time machine~tiny black boxes aligned in neat rows, each row divided into seven parts, each part named in accord with a classical planet, and all in a particular order that reveals a deep wisdom, allowing us to access the past, stay attuned to the present, and plan for the future

The Moon catches Venus in the great golden scale of Libra, where the goddess of love and beauty witnesses the measure of love abiding in the human heart.

The experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet.

It's Harvest Moon Wednesday, Sept 17 which begs the question: what is my harvest this year? On Michigan's Beaver Island, they have an answer!
