the tender first small communing

TODAY’S SMALL TENDER FIRST-COMMUNING
Sacred First-Communing · Sacred Jupiter-Day · Sacred Waning-Gemini-Moon · Sacred Doubled Venus-and-Sun-at-Home · Sacred October-First-Arrival · Sacred Third-Week-Complete (Day 21 = 3×7) · The Lovers · Sacred twenty-first day of the newly-begun cycle

A sacred first-communing day for gentle post-whispering-dialogue, tender first-relational-meeting,
and the soft trust of the sacred first-communing meeting the whispered arc of the fresh 30-day cycle as the Moon herself rests softly in Gemini’s tender sacred air (Mercury’s own air-home) on Jupiter’s own venerated day at the sacred arrival of October.

The Energy of the Day

Today, the Waning Gibbous moon rests softly through Gemini’s tender sacred air (Mercury’s own air-home, second day of Gemini) as the Sun rests softly at her ninth full day in Libra’s tender sacred air. Thursday belongs, faithfully, to Jupiter — the sacred small tender relational-witness softly presides on Jupiter’s own venerated day, and Venus herself continues at her own venerated Libra home beside the Sun. This is Sacred First-Communing with Sacred Jupiter-Day, Sacred Waning-Gemini-Moon, Sacred October-First-Arrival, and Sacred Third-Week-Complete (Day 21 = 3×7) — the fifth morning after the Sacred Harvest Moon’s peak, the sacred first-communing-into-meeting of yesterday’s whispered basket, the sacred fresh calendar month arrives, and the sacred third full week of practice softly completes today.

Yesterday you were, softly, invited to whisper. Today you are, softly, invited to commune.

This is Day 21 of the newly-begun cycle, and the seedling that has been welcomed and anchored and warmed and deepened and stirred and told and blessed and chosen and rooted and filled and softly widened and softly balanced and softly threaded and softly softened and softly flowered and softly harvested and softly integrated and softly settled and softly nourished and softly whispered now, faithfully, communes her first small basket-of-whispering with her own answering self. Not the dramatic outward union-performance. Not the visible proof-of-relationship. Just the small tender basket softly meeting the sovereign answering-form on Jupiter’s own venerated Thursday.

The Waning Gibbous resting softly in Gemini (Mercury’s own home) as the Sun rests at her ninth full day in Libra 9° is the sacred first-communing of every whispered basket — the seedling’s whispered arc meeting softly her own answering self where Jupiter blesses his own venerated day through Gemini’s dialogue and the sacred arrival of October (sacred Doubled Venus-and-Sun-at-Home continues, sacred second-Gemini-day continues, sacred fresh calendar month arrives). And on Jupiter-day, that communing is witnessed by the sacred small tender archangel Raphael softly above the meeting.

Communing today looks like meeting, not uniting.

What This Looks Like in the Body

The tender first small communing does not, faithfully, look like visible dramatic union.

It looks like softly turning your own attention toward your own answering self and letting the meeting soften both, or the small inward whisper, I am beginning to meet.

It looks like a small quiet dialogue where the body already stands — not proving outward, not producing visible union, just letting the whispered basket meet its answering self through your interior sovereign relational-form.

It looks like the sacred small tender two trees softly rooted rather than uprooted for display.

It looks like softly holding your sacred small tender archangel-blessing with an opening-of-the-hands to communion without needing to prove why you deserve to meet.

It looks like the sacred small tender autumn leaves softly falling beside you, sacred first-October-leaves-arrival marking the sacred fresh calendar month, reminding you that the communing was always the sacred post-Harvest-deepening’s own quiet practice.

It is, faithfully, one of the most quietly rebellious acts of the sacred sovereign feminine: the sacred small communing that does not require union-declaration to be real.

Reflection for the Day

Sacred First-Communing with Sacred Jupiter-Day asks, softly:

What sacred small tender whispered basket has been softly waiting to meet her own answering self rather than be united outward?

What if the communing itself, softly, was enough?

What if you didn’t have to declare it, defend its relationship, or perform its union before allowing it to meet?

The Lovers teaches the sacred art of the small meeting that has, faithfully, already begun. She does not, softly, ask you to unite the whole union. She only asks that you, softly, let the sacred small tender whispered basket meet her own answering self where the archangel Raphael has offered you the blessing and let the sacred first-communing come at its own faithful pace.

Communing is not, faithfully, forcing the union. It is how the sacred feminine lets her whispered basket meet the sovereign answering-self on Jupiter’s own venerated day.

Thought of the Day

Communing is not, faithfully, forcing the union. It is how the sacred feminine lets her whispered basket meet the sovereign answering-self on Jupiter’s own venerated day.

Affirmation

I turn, softly, toward the sacred first-communing-into-meeting of the whispered basket of the fresh cycle,
and I let The Lovers meet softly with their own answering selves without needing to prove I have united the whole union.

Questions to Consider

What sacred small tender whispered basket has been softly waiting to meet her own answering self rather than be united outward?

Where have I confused communing with union, or healing with isolation?

What one small act of tender relational-meeting could I offer myself today on the Sacred First-Communing morning on Jupiter’s own venerated Thursday at the sacred arrival of October?

What would it feel like to let the sacred sovereign answering-self, softly, meet the whispered basket without needing to justify why the communing is enough?

Energetically Aligned Song of the Day

“For Good” — Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel (2003)

Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel’s luminous 2003 duet from the musical Wicked — sacred female-and-female vocal duet, sacred contemporary sisterhood-communion tradition of the small tender song softly sung between two beloveds who have changed each other, Stephen Schwartz’s composition of mutual transformation — carries the exact quality of The Lovers on the twenty-first morning of the fresh cycle on Jupiter’s own venerated Thursday at the sacred arrival of October: because I knew you… I have been changed for good. The sacred first-communing is not, softly, a union you must produce. She is the small tender basket-of-whispering meeting softly her own answering self through your own actual lived body, and bell hooks’ quiet insistence that rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation becomes the small tender chorus of the sacred first-meeting-into-communion.

Parting Thought

Tender first small communing is, faithfully, one of the most rebellious acts of the sacred feminine.

You do not have to force the whole union for anyone today.
You do not have to prove the communing is visible, defend it against smallness, or make the meeting performable for outside witnesses.

You only have to, softly, let the sacred first-communing meet the whispered basket with her own answering self at the center of Jupiter’s own venerated day and offer the small meeting back to yourself.

Sacred Jupiter-Day reminds you that the sovereign communing does not, faithfully, arrive as a union. She arrives, softly, as one small tender basket meeting the sovereign answering-self — and the meeting itself is, faithfully, enough.

Not the resolute dramatic union.
Not the polished relationship for the shelf.
Just here, on the sacred Jupiter-blessed Thursday after Wednesday’s Sacred First-Whispering as the Moon rests softly in Gemini’s tender sacred air (Mercury’s own air-home) and the sacred fresh calendar month arrives, softly holding the small tender basket of your own whispered arc wherever you are: I commune. I meet. The sacred first-communing was, faithfully, always mine to allow on Jupiter’s own venerated Thursday.

Wander wisely, wild one.
