AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

It’s now just one day before Sun and Moon meet up Aries. We have a short moment to pause under the Dark of the Moon,  and gather ourselves before we begin the next cycle. Even as it joins the Sun on Thurs, the Moon will remain invisible. Then, slowly over a few days, a crescent will appear in the sky as the monthly process of waxing and waning begins anew. Just as the rise and fall of the tides are linked to the pull of the Moons gravity, so too our bodies are tuned to her rhythms.

We may fear that what we envisioned  'cant' or 'won't
