Wonder Is The Way
Photography by James Crombie
If your senses grow soft and stay sharp enough, you can feel yourself slipping between worlds and into wonder. The noise of our built environs, its grinding cogs of industry and inhumanity give way. The soft animal of your body, finely tuned and well eqipped to perceive magic, can intuit its rippling margins. Without warning or care you can find yourself delightfully beholden to its everyday miracles.
Our 'ceptions conspire to treat us to the full spectrum of natural magic and to find our place anchored firmly within it. Our senses brought to balance by its beauty and moving symmetry. Our nerves soothed and softened as we resonate to its ebb and flow, exhale deeply into undulating majesty. Biding its own sweet time, tethered to cycles that turn under their own power, transforming us through the seasons of life.
The harsh juxtaposition of the world we have built over and under it is harder to digest. But this dreamy week rewards a foot in each dimension and a stronger tether to your innate magics. Few of us can do much about the headlines and horror. All of us can tend our patch and our kin, offer hands and hearts where we can, stay close to what we love and hold ourselves tenderly through these torrid times.
The Pisces stellium at the far end of the zodiac teases dreams from deep beneath the rubble of the last few weeks and years. Priorities are changing as the soul yearns for a life well lived rather than well worked. What matters most floats to the surface and begs you skim its tender promises. Tuck them safely into head and heart, learning new ways to protect their precious from harm and foster blossom.
Before the wheel turns at equinox and resets the mark, a full moon rises and peaks. The virgin's lune later this week is flanked by powerful aspects as Saturn in Aquaria straddles the axis of past and future. She triangulates herself with Pluto and the North Node in a grand earth trine that will function as a portal between ages. In the breach that follows before the zodiac rebirths, much can be left behind you now.
Keep a canny eye out for it all to show itself as the moon ratchets to her peak. Choose your focus and weave your magics.
