Some changes begin beneath the surface. A belief loses its hold. A friendship reveals an imbalance. A future we once imagined no longer feels like our own. We begin to notice that the life we imagined no longer reflects who we are becoming.

By late October, the garden has begun to reveal its structure. Leaves gather beneath the trees. Seed heads darken. What has ripened returns to the ground, becoming nourishment for a season we cannot yet see.
As the Sun enters Scorpio, we might turn a similar attention toward our inner lives. Beneath our habits and obligations, what still has life in it? What are we holding close? What have we wanted for so long that we have stopped allowing ourselves to name it?

The Libra Sun asks us to look at the space between ourselves and others. Where do we meet easily? Where have we been keeping the peace by leaving something of ourselves out?

Beneath this moon,

The Aries Moon rises full
across from the Libra Sun.
I have called it kindness
to make myself smaller.
I have mistaken quiet

Venus moves through Scorpio,
asking what my heart protects
when it reaches for yours.

Under the eclipsed Moon,
may the waters rise
and carry away
what we no longer need.
