Astrology Like Tarot Feels…
Astrology for me is deeply felt, embodied, sensual & sensory. A mood, emotional tone & flavour; a devotional dance made of light & shadows.
I am hungry for Beauty, always. And that desire for Beauty makes me want to write about astrology the way tarot feels. With all its secret arcane endearments & declarations both stern & gentle. And always the wild cards. Wild as forests, silent as moonlit dreamscapes scattered with hermits & lovers, mages, knights & scribes. I’m continuously seduced by the numinous.
Planetary desire flows through me fiercely at times, hunting me - hoof & horned, until I’m cornered in its quiet groves & candlelit caves. It reveals to me my tooth & claw, my soft & scarred pelt, the gentleness of my heart, the fire of me kept alive by this tender hearth-keeping. Star-gazing makes me more creaturely in the good earthen human ways this world tries to talk us out of being.
Astrology for me is intimacy - leaning in closer, not flinching away from the here & now. Presence, whole-heartedness takes practise - is a practice - so worth our cultivation.
We are mythic beings hungry for story & symbol. We need them now more than ever.
