The Last Time Was 545 AD
The last quarter Moon is in Sagittarius today, applying to engage the mutable t-square between Neptune, Jupiter, and Saturn.This morning I decided to go backward in history searching for the last time our current t-square was in effect.

Flooding the Sun/Neptune Conjunction
The Moon is in Virgo this morning, void of course. Meanwhile the Sun is moving toward a conjunction with Neptune.There is a hexagram from the I Ching that reminds me of the Sun/Neptune conjunction.

The pictorial of the hexagram shows a plant struggling as it …

The Moon is in Cancer today, and the Sun is just about to enter Pisces, taking us into the last thirty days of winter. Today let's talk about the sign of Pisces.One thing that people constantly say about Pisces is that Pisces is the "mystic" of the zodiac or that somehow the sign of Pisces is more spiritual than other signs.
