Aries- where would we be
without it? The first step, the honest
one, the only real surprise, yes we all feel it coming but we never know what
it will look like and it never disappoints.
It never fails to remind us that we are speaking out of big bodies. Bodies that can exist as unique, identifiable
entities for more than 80 years.
Experiencing consciousness from within organic unfolding structures that
can only take in so much, only move so fast, and cling to the earth. Bodies that need even heavier bigger rockets
of metal mined from the earth, to fly.
And yet somehow we are able to move 120- 300 or more pounds of flesh and
bone and water all the live long day.
We can’t do it without that
scale tipping Aries push. The energy must
be poured into the system, each day

All times are in local time for Raleigh
This table shows the amount
of hours and minutes the sun is up for each day in October, or the last two
thirds of the sign Libra and the first third of Scorpio. Every day we are losing at least 2 minutes of the sun above
the horizon. That is the
nature of the sign Libra, losing radiation from one day to the next at a
steady, rapid rate. If 2 minutes a day
doesn’t sound like a lot, then let’s look at what is happening energy wise in
say December.
Rising and setting times for the Sun
December is the last 2 thirds of Sagittarius and the first third of Capricorn. December begins with a loss of one minute per day and steadily puts on the brakes before a change in direction. By Dec 21 winter solstice instead of losing a minute we lose only one second, and then Dec 22 instead of losing a second we add one. We go from losing a teeny tiny bit of energy, like a sporadically dripping faucet, to gaining a wee bit, like a drop in a bucket which multiplies every day, but still doesn’t look like much when you start from the bottom.
Now let’s look at
Aries. That’s where Uranus is for the
next 4 or so years and that’s where the moon is now and was yesterday.

Ahh that table is more roomy. And see how much time of energy we gain as
the sun moves through Aries? By March 21
we are gaining 2 minutes 16 seconds of TATH (Time Above The Horizon) every day,
or every degree forward the Sun moves along the ecliptic. All during Pisces in the last two weeks of February
and the first week of March the final build up of energy was going through its
paces. There is really not much of a
change in deposit from one day to the next, but the deposits have grown so from
Dec that energy is just pouring in and adding up quickly. In Aries the scales tip on the side of
surplus.
Now the energy coming directly from the Sun is great
and as we travel around the Sun from a good distance the cycle of distribution
is leisurely compared to the day, or even the month. Looking at the Moon’s cycle we see that it sweeps
through one revolution of the signs every 28 days, so the build up of energy
that takes a month in the case of the Sun, is completed within hours by the
local Moon. This month the Moon charges
through the Aries section of the zodiac in 54 hours and 10 minutes; in just 2 ¼
days it reaches its peak in deposits and tips the scales.
So something that first came up about 28 days ago;
grew to fruition, retreated and incubated for several days came back out Thurs
night when the Moon entered Aries. We
are not talking about the phase of the Moon and how much light it is reflecting
from the Sun, but its location in the zodiac, or the where the Moon is with
respect to the angle of the earth’s tilt.
Now that may sound awfully complicated and not worth the mental
concentration required to ….
Maybe so, but don’t forget we are talking about all
the water on the earth. We are talking
about the only gravity we can perceive through these rough bodies, that pulls something
to heaven instead of…well you know….the other way. Could be worth taking some time out to study a
few maps of the heavens and then enter our minds and try to picture ourselves
on the earth, circled by the Moon, constantly pushing and pulling the flock
like a reflective Shepherd that never rests.
And then there was that hour that the Moon was lined
up with Uranus, who is just way the way out there, still lookin kinda lost,
weird, fascinating. The reflective Shepherd tipping the scales for a few hours where the weirdo is just pumping
that pedal and grinding away at the mountain of grist like it will last forever
or there’s no tomorrow.

Sunrise/Sunset calculator.
