Day Twenty-One: Entering the Void
July 28
Waning Moon
Void of Course
Sun in Leo
The Moon remains void all day today and until 12:43am Monday Morning. We’re leaving the energy of Fire (Aries) and transiting into the Earthy foundations of Taurus. I variety of images and analogies came to mind as the day progressed. My initial thoughts were that of the earth, transparent on the surface to the intensity and nature of heated transformation that is taking place below.
This period of transition is one of moving from the Cardinal or initial outpour of energies that was Aries into what will wrangle it into structured form in the Fixed modality of Taurus. Additionally, the movement is from the element of Fire to Earth. The slow and steady burning of a fire that is fueled by wood reducing it down and giving way to the remaining manifest form of ash that is the byproduct.
Emotionally, kinda feels like staring into blackened waters. You know that there is light in there and you sense some sort of structure forming, but it is not yet clear and you are unsure about what the resulting product will be. Not much to do today other than to hold steady as a new foundation is crafted.
I spent some time just looking deeply into the flame of the white candle I had lit at the full moon as I connected to the energies of the day. The words of the poem below rose up as I was writing and I surrendered to the stillness of pause before the moon took its place in the energy of Taurus.
I looked into
The Great deep
And black inky
Waters flowed.
I looked into
The Great deep
And eyes wide with
Wonder peered back.
I looked into
The Great deep
And tiny sparks
Of red flame flickered.
I looked into
The Great deep
And saw the
Newly formed
Foundation of my making
Rising up from flowing
Flame filled waters
to greet me.
