Polish Women Strike

POET: Yet there is just one small space- Now, Jagusia, just place your hand beneath your breast . . . – A tam puka? (Is something beating there?) GIRL: A … Continue reading Polish Women Strike
Libra New Moon
A silver quivering cocoon that shakes from within, trying to break. What psyche is wrestling with its shroud? Blunt diamonds scrape at its casing, urging it out. But there is too much grief. The world is made of days, and is itself a shrouded day. It stifles. It's our world, and we its dreams, its … Continue reading Libra New Moon
Pisces Lunar Eclipse
The fisherman draws fish that he never saw from many fathoms beneath the water, the miner brings gold from the depths out of the earth, through which his sight cannot pierce. In this wise has God taught it. As there is nothing so occult that it shall not become manifest, so the same must be … Continue reading Pisces Lunar Eclipse

Mercury Retrograde in Virgo
We know where [ Hermes ] comes from and what type of consciousness he exemplifies. He is most likely the same dark depth of being from which we all originate. Perhaps for this reason Hermes can so convincingly hover before us, lead us on our ways, show us golden treasures in everyone through the split-second … Continue reading Mercury Retrograde in Virgo
Aquarius Full Moon

Perseus and the Perseids
Do you still remember: falling stars, how they leapt slantwise through the sky like horses over suddenly held-out hurdles of our wishes—did we have so many?— for stars, innumerable, leapt everywhere; almost every gaze upward became wedded to the swift hazard of their play, and our heart felt like a single thing beneath that vast … Continue reading Perseus and the Perseids
Leo New Moon

Mercury is more briefly aglow at sunset while Venus sustains her … Continue reading Leo New Moon
