Sagittarius Sun 20/11 – 21/12 But the constellation is actually in the sky from Mid December – Mid January

Cauldron of Dreams

The liminal space in which the length of day & night stands still for the briefest of moments.

The pause at the end of the exhalation of the year.

The turning from the what has passed to what is to come.

The dark time

And deep in the earth,

in the womb of the earth,

the heart of the seed,

where for a moment the cold holds action at bay,

is held in stasis.

Surrendered to the extremities of winter weather

to break down its hard seed shell coating,

while this year’s leaves rot down,

mulching into the nourishment for what is to come.

Here is the cauldron containing all of nature’s potential,

sitting in the midst of the ice-cold Sagittarian fire.

The Archer points his arrow to the future,

the adventurer, explorer, optimist philosopher,

searching for deeper meanings

while the seed dreams are worked,

while they fizz, swell and pop.  

Death and rebirth.

Let this season wash over and through me.
