Today….Sunday – the Sun’s day….
And so….
The Transits for the week.
Questions asked for the Aries Festival.
And….
Spreading flower seeds of poppy & larkspur & zinnia.
I just learned that larkspur flowers are edible.
I would like to plant a wildflower meadow.
And have a garden of edible flowers.

After spreading the flower seeds.
Arugula, spinach, kale, mustard greens, swiss chard, lettuce seeds come next.
For some reason I can’t seem to grow radishes, the small ones.
I want to grow diakon (long white radish) & the watermelon radish. Maybe, maybe not this year.

Pea seeds are soaking to plant tomorrow.
In the green house, basil seeds in small pots.

Today – Sunday, March 3, 2024.
A complex moon touching all the planets day today.
The sagittarius moon continues.
Where will we travel today? Where are you dreaming of traveling? Where would everyone like to travel to?

Sun Mercury Neptune in Pisces today.

Today Venus (5) is square Uranus (7) – Aquarius (5) & Taurus (4).
Note the odd rays with one even Ray.

Uranus shakes things up, turns them sideways, interrupts everything, is unexpected & sudden.
We observe this in our lives, today & throughout the week.

Next Saturday we have Mars (6) square Uranus (7).
Mars/Uranus – sudden explosions, sudden something happening all of a sudden, out of the blue.
This energy of Mars/Uranus is building.
Moving together until they meet next Saturday, March 9th.
The tension of these two calling us to attention can already be felt. When we know about the transits, we become aware & more sensitive & we understand events more clearly in our daily life.

The transits…
Venus/Uranus & Mars/Uranus –
Venus – values, money, relationships, possessions.
Mars – actions, desires, aspirations, hopes, wishes, dreams, & on its lowest level fanaticism.
Uranus – sudden change.
We observe these things today & during the week.

Questions – Three Spring Fetivals.
Spring Equinox is soon (March 19).
Palm Sunday is Sunday the 24th.

Aries Festival.
The first of the Three Spring Festivals, Aries (at the full moon)

Questions:
What do we need to do to prepare humanity’s minds & hearts for the Three Festivals?
What do we need to study & then share with humanity regarding the Aries festival….
….& the Three Festivals of Aries, Taurus, Gemini?
What aspects of the Aries festival do we need to concentrate on?
Why am I asking these questions?
Who can answer my questions?
love, Risa

“Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird.
Equal seekers of sweetness (Mary Oliver).
A Poem by Mary Oliver (below – from her book Thirst).
And….
Giving Attention to What Interests Us.
And Sharing That Interest.

Today is Saturday. March 2, 2024 – Saturn’s day.
Saturn is Ray 3 – Intelligence that leads to choice & action!
For Disciples, the throat chakra is Ray 3.
Humanity in general is the throat chakra.
Speaking of what interests each of us.

Sagittarius moon –
Sagittarius is constantly curious about the world – Sag is the traveler who visits multiples regions of the world, the rider on the white horse, over meadows, hills & dales, visiting with people everywhere – making journeys here & there from place to place, visiting different cultures, participating in the many & various ways people life their lives. Gathering experience. Sagittarius is also the chef, the hunter/gatherer, the forager, the publisher of travelogues & special places of interest.

Where is Sagittarius in everyone’s chart?
What area of life is influenced by Sagittarius?
How does Sagittarius reveal itself in that area of life?
This is the study of astrology & part of discipleship’s training.

And so….
I mentioned a special festival of daffodils happening this weekend somewhere in the United States.
And asked readers to share about places, people, towns, villages, festivals, events that were of special to them.
I mentioned that all villages towns cities states areas in the world were interesting. And asked what is of interest to you? So wherever we are, we can get to know the world at large.
And get to know what is of interest to each of us.

A poem by Mary Oliver

Praying
“It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention,

….then patch a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.”

— Mary Oliver, from her book “Thirst” a book of 43 poems.
