Wednesday 5th March
As the moon transitions from fiery Aries to grounded Taurus, it follows the ancient zodiac body, moving from head to throat. This shift aligns with Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent and a time for reflection, humility, and renewal. Observed 46 days before Easter (40 days of fasting, not counting Sundays), Ash Wednesday reminds us of life’s impermanence through the ritual of ashes, marking a period of inward contemplation and spiritual preparation. Just as Taurus steadies Aries’ impulsive energy, Lent invites a shift from action to stillness, guiding us through cycles of transformation and renewal in both the cosmos and the soul.
