Holidays are for exuberance and the 4th of July is one of the most exuberant.
This month’s expansive Jupiter conjunction with beauteous Venus has brought an abundance of glorious flowering in the garden.
While the clamor of nearby swimming pool parties, backyard ball games, and amateur home fireworks has replaced the hungry caws of baby crows in the towering trees above, the flowers seem undisturbed by it all. Their proliferation calms my shudders at the noisy cacophony around us, though the dogs have taken to their beds, no doubt hoping for the rain and closed windows the dim skies promise.
This Mars conjunct Cancer Sun (home/family) energy will disappear soon enough, but for now America is on a very active vacation as well as on alert.
Jupiter and Venus will stay around together though for four more months, which offers us time to consider the joy of peace.
It’s time for some Mozart, sung by Emma Kirkby.
