Solstice on the Spiral Path

Solstice. Here we are again.
Not the same, but changed we are
on the spiral path,
spinning around our guiding star.

The Wheel turns, the seasons change.
Moving forward? Maybe.
Life’s course is not linear.
Each moment threads into a cosmic design.

Beneath the dance of celestial bodies,
we grapple with the politics of our beliefs,
and judgments that stifle
wisdom’s fire, compassion, and understanding.

In the intricate weave of existence,
passions of anger, righteousness,
greed and grief entwine,
echoing the struggles of the dispossessed,
victims of war, poverty, fractured kin,
poisoned water, earth and air,
the list endless…
forming vital threads.

Crisis, herald of change,
demands reckoning.
What is the value of life?
How can I make a difference?

Solstice.
Within the recesses of our being,
stir the remnants of ancient stars.
Glimmers of awareness effervesce.
Our ancestors are here, too.
A profound and elemental connection.
A continuum woven in the fabric of time.
Each moment, an essential stitch in the ongoing tapestry of cosmic design.

Whether in quiet solitude,
or in lively communion
with family and friends,
may you be graced with many moments
of awakening and celebration
within life’s grand, intricate cosmic design.

with love,
Jacqueline

We are so used to light that we take it to be part of our ordinary world – the world of people, streets, houses – but it is not. Light belongs to another, invisible world. For light, like the wind, is invisible in itself; it is only visible by it’s interaction with things. Deep space is filled with light, but completely dark, except when an object intervenes…So in one sense light is pure form, but not made of anything, and the form depends on the type of observation. In another sense, light, like space, is nothing at all, yet it illuminates everything.”

Navigation in the Mystery

Your astrological chart is a potent pattern: it is the matrix that reveals how the planets speak within you. Prediction is a matter of looking down the river to interpret and sense the shape and flow of the journey ahead. Consult your celestial compass: What are the conditions and optimal ways to navigate? What are your possibilities and options?

The sun, the moon and the planets are your allies in seeking truth.
They offer parameters, milestones and timing.
They open doors – if you are willing to step through the threshold to
deeper understanding and self-acceptance.
I welcome your inquiry.
I offer navigation in the mystery through astrology and tarot.
With Love,
Jacqueline
