Dear Sue, |
TUESDAY September 5 Cosmic Ordering emails Dear Jonathan, I fear that placing a Cosmic Order on another's behalf may be well-intentioned but difficult. How can I be sure what someone else truly needs? Emily
Dear Jonathan,
Dear Jonathan, Dear Emily, Paula and Laura. I agree. |
WEDNESDAY September 6 Partial lunar eclipse comment Tomorrow evening brings a partial lunar eclipse. It will be impressive, partly because the Moon is due to look so large. It is currently close to 'perigee' which is a posh way of saying it is nearer to Earth than usual. It is also sitting low in the sky because we are at the 18.6 yearly peak of the 'lunar standstill' cycle. Low moons always look bigger than high ones. Cloud cover permitting, we'll see the Moon change colour as it rises around 8pm. I recommend planning an outing to somewhere with a good view of the Eastern horizon. The eclipse is visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia. The moment of greatest eclipse is 18.51 Universal Time (7.51pm in the UK; approx midnight, New Delhi; Sydney, 4.51am Friday). |
THURSDAY September 7 Lunar eclipse Callanias comment By the time you read this, I shall be on my way to the Isle of Lewis. I hope to watch tonight's Lunar Eclipse from the ancient stone circle of Callanais. Weather permitting, the eclipse will be visible wherever you are in the UK, around 7.50pm tonight - a little earlier in the south, a little later in the north. (18.50 Universal Time; New Delhi, 12.20am, Friday; Sydney, 4.45am, Friday) This Full Moon, though, is one of the exceptionally low, 'Lunar Standstill', Moons that occur only every 18.6 years. As Callanais was built specifically to honour this deeply significant rhythm in the cosmic calendar, it seems appropriate for me to make a pilgrimage to a place that meant so much to my astrological predecessors. I'll let you know what I experience. |
FRIDAY September 8 Lunar eclipse Callanias comment - Part 2 Full moons trigger tension, cause chaos and deliver drama. So I was ready for trouble on my way to Callanish on the north-west tip of Scotland yesterday. But I wanted to witness an eclipse during a rare 'lunar standstill' at the site where ancient astrologers created an observatory out of giant stone monoliths. First, my daughter got poorly, then I lost my laptop at the airport security scanner. Finally, a colleague missed his flight. Was it worth it? On Monday I'll tell you what I saw � psychically and physically. |
