Weekly Mandala: Southwest I, Cave Painting

They are hard,
these winds of change,
but like the rings growing within a tree,
the blessed tide of time finally turns.
Slowly, silently,
it changes the very earth
beneath our feet.
All our storms eventually pass
and sorrow and grief will lessen and fade.
Love fully each day as it moves
under your footsteps.
Just let the tide take you
and you will know.
You will know.

Astrologically we're all still bathing in the leftover energy of last Friday's Full Moon in Pisces.  There is a Grand Earth Trine headed our way on Wednesday the 5th: Sun and Mercury conjunct in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn trine Moon in Taurus.  Get ready for some sexy personal energy as Venus enters Leo on Friday, but remember that the fire is hot!  On Sunday, Saturn in Libra trines Moon in Gemini: timing will be everything.
