This reflection on Aquarius is dedicated to the memory of Varya, who was born with the Moon in the final degree of Aquarius.
There has been much discussion of Aquarius and Pluto this week in astrology-land, given that former planet Pluto has now ingressed the second-to-last sign of the zodiac.
First Quarter Moon; Last Quarter Year
Ooh la la we are on the cusp of a shift in energy today! This shift slowly draws us into the growing eclipse portal of next month.
