Wednesday 7th January
The Moon rises in the constellation of Leo, carrying a gesture of warmth and quiet radiance into the midst of winter’s outer cold. Under such skies, we are reminded of the human capacity to kindle inner fire when the world appears dormant. Rudolf Steiner, the founder of biodynamics, gave over 6,000 lectures during his lifetime, yet it was in the final years of his life that his insights poured forth most intensively. Responding to the needs of his time, he brought new light to education, medicine, social threefolding, and architecture, applying a holistic worldview shaped by philosophy, lived experience, and spiritual perception. As Leo lifts the heart and strengthens the will, today invites us to tend our own inner warmth — that quiet courage which, when held through winter, can become a guiding force for renewal in the year ahead.
