Wednesday, June 21 | Litha WELL we are here. Almost here, anyway: The Sun is about one-half degree from the Cancer ingress, also called Litha. Today's also the fifth anniversary of the June 21, 2001 total solar eclipse -- and this solstice brings the last aspect in a long series of movements that have felt like...well I don't know what the heck they've felt like, but I'm happy I took my own advice and hunkered down for a few days. This was probably a better idea than being in Amsterdam, but who knows. My observation may be highly subjective, but reality currently feels like a piece of Saran Wrap stretched over a football. But it's not snapping, it's just stretching thinner, and growing more compressed. In this state of mind, I have very little to say, actually. Maybe I'll have more in the morning, but meantime, I'd like to point you back to my first writing on the current astrology, a piece called From Beltane to Solstice, which has a couple of charts included: http://cainer.com/ericfrancis/may5.html Take it easy, please. The Sun is still something resembling void of course, but not really, because it's square the lunar nodes, a turning point, and it's tight; it's square the Sept. 22 eclipse, conjunct the 6/21/01 eclipse, and it's about to be square the Aries Point -- astrology so magnifying of reality that you could hear a flea scratch its nose in Carnegie Hall.
