«African American neighborhoods across the country in cities large and small were destroyed at disproportionate rates. In some cases these areas were redeveloped for public or private low-income housing, but more often the land was re-purposed for commercial or industrial development or to make way for highways.»

cincinnati was one such city

luna en acuario

fixed, airy. cosmic gusts. finally listened to solange’s «when i get home» the other night and was feleing some strong/cool cosmic gusts come through — assured oddities. (her sun ra inspirations, talks of and with orion, met gala outfit, etc.) i check her chart to see she has a natal aquarius moon.  // a friend with gemini sun and rising but aquarius moon has been on my mind, too. his freak flag. assured and cool oddities. this morning while makeup i intuited the moon is most likely transiting aquaurius or moving out of its arena. i check astro’s chart of the moment on my way out and to my delight i see it is:aquarius moon transit 7 october

moon comin’ cool after her time in capricorn with pluto and saturn. i’ve been having insights about capricorn and pluto, too — tonight after work i plan to infuse nettle. earlier this summer while deep in my herbalism course with @goldwateralchemy, i discerned a deep connection between nettle and the bones and the blood. pluto dredging its way through the depths of capricorn — land, memory/bones, death / cancer its axis of water, memory/blood, life. as we overall move into the season of yin/as persephone descends, what universe can be consructed from these disparate elements? — the psychic images and impressions (plutonian/scorpio–i’ve also been feeling mercury stew in scorpio); the very real demands in our waking, 9-5 gregorian type lives — the demands right in front of our faces (saturn in capricorn).

 

i think i’ve been into this aquarian moon because of the almost flippant nature to the sign — cool, detached, unbothered. the moon can indicate how we automatically and unconsiously repond to and process emotional/stimuli in our lives. i feel it keeping me cool/ a degree removed from the otherwise deep work the astro weather is calling us to and keeping us in the realm of.
