As a particularly strained summer solstice season comes to a close, I wish to share with you the inspiring thoughts and feelings of this excerpt of a poem by Jame Agee, whose reading seems particularly appropriate since:
wandering far alone is Saturn personified pulled by the south star shadow Ketu in Ardra, the nakshatra for weeping, aspected directly by the planet for enlightened wonder and surety, Jupiter, as is happening in the sky right nowJupiter is the symbolizer of kindness, this year watching for us from Pisces, the 4th house ground, of the United Statesstar-made shadows seem like the shadow nodes, Rahu and Ketu, which are no longer at high 90 degree tension to said Jupiter and Saturn; i.e. the star-made shadows are so slowly from here on becoming more roundthis late year, the lunar chart of 12/31/2010, in the early morning, is a beautiful one for feelings of love and mediation whose graces and fortune are that of helping others in health; all is healed?the chart of the very last minute of the year has Ketu lying down in the northnow we are indeed in high summerthe new moon has just passed, in Cancer, and as the Moon grows from this placement, it is a time, of hearts made whole
Sure on this shining night
Of star-made shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wandering far alone
Of shadows on the stars.
–James Agee
