This January moon coming to full glory has been more tumultuous than most. Her majesty has been wreaking havoc on many levels. For expert information on the true “phases” of her grace, visit my friend Clarissa over at Viva Combusta. She is such a wonderful astrologer on every level.
But if you want to see the many “faces” of last night’s moon, well, I captured just a few of her many moods. It might explain the fickle nature of her influence on our energy this week.
She peeks, so demure it seems
She taunts the soul and haunts the dreams…
She winks
And blinks
before she thinks,
obsessed with power, magic, delight!
shielded by the veil of night,
her web of mystery weaving bright-
luminescent!
And slips away by light of day,
as though her works were merely play…
retreating in the shadow’s way.
Temptress, Mistress, Seer, Witch
your light hypnotic, warm exotic
entrances, the chances
of escape are futile.
You win.
We sigh as we say goodbye
watch you fade into a mere sliver of your
magnificence.
Until next month, dear Lady…..
Very nicely done!

Wonder no more. She was in an angry phase Mary. I wonder if she isn’t heading into a menopausal phase…….😜

I don’t know, but I wish the hot flashes would come when I’m outside in the sub zero temps rather than when I’m warm and cozy in bed.

I knooow. I usually put one leg outside the covers. On the bright side-Winters are not so tough on me as they used to be.

Thanks so much Steve. I am always intrigued by “peekhole” views. I try to get Venus in this way too but need an extra flash which I don’t have and my star photos never auite work out. I appreciate your comment! 😊
