An art-ful Friday and a New Moon Saturday

With a snow storm said to be on the way for Georgia (our turn) I thought a little Art for Friday would be good – something with a Crescent Moon since we’re in the Balsamic or dark phase of the Moon now. So here is ‘Blue Trumpet Flower Under Crescent Moon’ for you (because drawing the dark of the Moon would be futile, wouldn’t it?)

New Moon 25AQ18 Feb 13, 2010 Saturday @ 9:51 pm est; with the various versions of America’s natal chart our natal Moon (the people; the public) ranges from 18AQ to late AQ so we may say that this New Moon is personalized for the American people (or for whomever may have this Lunar position in their charts.)

Sabian Symbol ’26AQ’ = “A Hydrometer”…Keyword: EFFICIENCY.

positive expression: exceptional ability in manipulating the fundamental complexities of living;

negative/unconscious/shadow side: self-defeating worry over trifles.

(‘The Sabian Symbols in Astrology’ by Marc Edmund Jones.)

Yes, it is self-defeating to worry over what are or may be, mere trifles.

Jones goes on to explain that this degree is about ‘capitalizing on any difficulties that arise’ and that is my wish for you, lone reader, at the beginning of a new cycle of activity at this, a New Moon in Aquarius. For after all, the New Moon’s Illumination Point (an unconscious point opposite each degree) has for its Keyword: “A RAINBOW”!
