Venus & Luna

The crescent of a waning moon reached out to Venus with open arms this morning, lit bright in light from a sun still lingering below the horizon and reflected in the calm water of a falling tide. The ‘two-horned queen of the stars’* embracing love, fertility and prosperity above an expectant Egg.

* In the Carmen Saeculare, performed in 17 BC, Horace invokes Luna as the “two-horned queen of the stars”
