Honoring the Mother
Taurus New Moon
Jupiter Stationary Direct
Friday is the new moon, 17 degrees Taurus.
Sunday is Mother’s Day – for everyone who has the task of “mothering.”
Monday Jupiter is stationary direct, 13 degrees Virgo.
Sunday, Mother’s Day, is under a Gemini moon. Communication (Gemini & Mercury) with Mother (Moon). Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, which is retrograde, helps us turn inward, seeking and discovering the true value of our mothers, offering words of kindness, gratitude and nurturance to our mothers. All mothers, a task and job description, are learning how to be mothers. The task of mothering is difficult, confusing, filled with suffering and paradox. Mothering is an Initiation, actually.
Some (adult) children are estranged from their mothers. Such sadness! It’s good to remember the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, saint of Right Human Relations with everyone. But especially with Mother. The 4th Commandment is to Honor Thy Mother (& Father). Let us pray together…
“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.”
In our mothers’ later years, they look to us for guidance. Let us promise this to them with understanding, constancy, compassion and love.
New Moon
During new moon times, reciting the Great Invocation in meditation together, we “strengthen and uphold the hands & arms & support the endeavors of the New Group of World Servers and women and men of Goodwill everywhere.”
Jupiter
Jupiter stationary direct. After 120 days of retrograde, Jupiter pauses, stands still for three days, before beginning to move forward again (13 degrees Virgo). “Stations” (stillness) of a planet are potent and significant. Jupiter is concerned with freedom, justice, culture, religion, adventures, education, expansions of all types and love/wisdom. These values will move forward more quickly now. During the retrograde we assessed our need for them. As Jupiter moves forward we act upon them.
Jupiter in Virgo (retrograde) has all of humanity tending to their health. As Jupiter moves forward, we are called to focus on our health in daily and practical ways. An opportunity.
