New Moon in Aries
Spring Equinox
Spring is ripe with new beginnings and coiled possibilities. We hear strains of magic and strands of mystery, calling us to set forth, paying attention to the small, soft mysteries and wild magics of just where we are. There is a quickening inside you, and we are called to the riverside, bearing witness to the birthwaters of spring. Streams once tamed now leap their banks, charge with fury across colonized lands, charting new routes and refusing to stay inside boundaries. Our tears flood and join the rushing water, striking out to sea; inexorable is the call, fathomless is the need. With all our strength we cry out—to ancestral memory, to lifebeat rushing through our veins, to waters of the original womb. May we quench this thirst with tinctures of patience, action, reverence, and justice. We dip our hands into the cool current and anoint our bellies. As we touch wet fingers to our bodies, we hear distant whale songs, this waterway connected to the next to the next to the next, each future of each being entwined in ripples, bubbles, and waves.
