Red Poppies in Flanders Fields
Thursday, May 23, 2024, is the Gemini solar Festival. I wrote about the Gemini Festival of Humanity, World Invocation and Goodwill Day in last week’s column. Thursday, is a very complex with Venus and Jupiter making their appearance. Venus, ruler of both Taurus and Gemini, leaves Taurus and enters Gemini. Venus calls us to unify all that is separative in our lives. Jupiter calls us to love one another. And Neptune says there are worlds and worlds of realities outside of our present-day belief systems.
The moon on Thursday is in Sagittarius with the Sun in Gemini. The arrow (Sagittarius) of love (Gemini) is sent out into the world. From our hearts to the heart of all the kingdoms. To all that matters. Later in the day, Jupiter joins Neptune. The Ray 2 of Love and Wisdom rules the day. It’s a Venusian/Jupiter/Neptunian day on Thursday under the full moon solar festival.
All during Gemini, the Forces of Reconstruction stream into the nations, with a message of unity, peace and purpose.
Remembrance Day – Monday, May 27, is Memorial Day, an American holiday, observed each year on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day (strewing flowers, decorating graves of comrades who died), it originated in the years following the Civil War (April 12, 1861 – April 9, 1865) and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades.
Some wear red poppies, a symbol of remembrance on Memorial Day to honor those who have died in the wars. The red poppy, also known as the Flanders’ poppy, is a small flower native to North Africa and Eurasia. An American Cemetery in West Flanders, Belgium is planted with red poppies to remember those who have died in the wars.
Poem: Canadian poet and physician, John McCrae (1872-1918) wrote a poem called “In Flanders Field Where the Poppies Grow.” https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/remembrance/about-remembrance/in-flanders-field.
Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of the summer season.
