Friday 2nd January
The Moon rises in the constellation of Taurus, reaching its zenith in the sidereal rhythm. From here it begins its two-week descent, drawing forces inward and downward into the Earth, supporting root development and the quiet, formative activity of the soil. This lunar gesture mirrors the wider seasonal movement from 15th December to 15th January, when the Earth holds its life most deeply within. During this time the soil is not dormant but inwardly alive, slowly composting the past year into future fertility. Within this inward phase lie the Holy Nights, when earthly time loosens and cosmic influences touch the Earth more directly. Just as the soil gathers and protects its warmth, the human soul is invited to become still, attentive, and receptive. What is quietly held now — in soil and in soul — becomes the hidden foundation for growth in the year ahead.
