The Season of Leo begins
The Sun crosses into Leo in the small hours of Thursday 23 July, with Jupiter already there. Warmth, heart, courage and colour.
The Week Ahead: 20 to 26 July
A tending week. First Quarter Moon in Libra on Tuesday, the Sun into Leo on Thursday, and Mercury direct on Friday 24 July.
The Winter Solstice
At 4:24 in the afternoon Perth time the sun reaches the bottom of its arc. The longest night is not the enemy. It is the turn.
The Shortest Day of the Year
The Winter Solstice falls on Sunday 21 June, the quiet bottom of the year’s long breath. Then the light begins to come back.
Two ways to read the year
China reads the year in twenty four small seasons, the Noongar people in six. Two cultures, one instinct: stop, look and notice.
Rainwater and White Dew
China divides the year into twenty four small seasons, each named like poetry. An invitation to notice one small turn this week.
