Moon, Mars and Saturn soaring over-head, in Sagittarius,
with Jupiter, ruler in Virgo to the right.
The Moon be translating the Light from Friday’s
powerful Full Moon in Taurus
that our dedication to the earth now be translated into
being her story-tellers, that we remember that
small things have a big effect.
Here is Maxima Acuna, whom I saw, met, at the Goldman Environmental Awards last week, a tiny Peruvian woman farmer, standing defiant, against all odds, to protect the lagoon and land, that gives her life. Her tiny plot of land was in the way of a giant destructive foreign mining project. All of the goventment’s and corporations’ armies and legal systems were arrayed against her. And, against all odds – she prevailed, through dedication and story.
“At the forefront of the local resistance was Máxima Acuña de Chaupe, a 47-year-old grandmother who lives off a plot of farmland in Peru’s northern Cajamarca region, an area that would have been used by Newmont to drain a nearby lake to collect mining byproducts.
Having secured a victory, Acuña said she has just one more wish: “I want to return to the peaceful life I had on my land with my family for almost 20 years.”
The Venus-Uranus-Eris conjoining encourage the feisty,
protector of life, artist of change in all of us.
When we are willing to ally with the Trickster force of Nature
– then we live as though all desirable is possible.
We stand before the Gateway to the Garden of All Desirable Things.
I will be journeying home tonight during our usual time of convening, so no call tonight, but plenty of well-wishing..
