“maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.” ee cummings
If you have been challenged by the ongoing influence of the Cardinal Cross, today’s Sun/Pluto trine in earth provides a good time to start the process of reclaiming courage and power. This is reflected in the Sun’s evolution from the Sabian symbol of 13 degrees of Taurus, ” A porter carrying heavy baggage,” to the one for 14 Taurus, “On the beach, children play while shellfish grope at the edge of the water.” The shellfish symbolize evolution from a creature of the sea (the emotional or psychic realms) to a creature of the land. This speaks of integrating various levels of consciousness. The shellfish and the children are both evolving harmoniously . The idea behind these symbols is to move from the burden of carrying heavy baggage to a place where you can return to a state of innocence – free of worries and problems. Often a quiet place in nature can restore a sense of harmony and interconnectedness. It can help return concerns about the big picture to the basics where pragmatic steps can be taken one at a time and restore a sense of wholeness.
