Thursday 14th May
Today marks Ascension, the moment in the Christian calendar when Christ is said to have ascended into the heavens forty days after Easter. It is a day that carries a sense of upliftment, transcendence, and lightness of being. The day also sees the Sun cross the threshold of Aries and enter the constellation of Taurus, bringing an overarching grounding quality to the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Moon deepens into Pisces, supporting the development of the leaves of plants and making it an ideal time to tend to leafy greens. Together, these movements bring a beautiful balance between ascent and descent: the soul is lifted towards the heavens, while the garden asks us to return gently to the earth.
