Gateways. Beginnings. Portals.
For the Asian world the Aquarian new moon of January 21 signifies the start of the Year of the Black Water Rabbit for 2023.
It is a super moon - so very close to the Earth we feel its tides moving strongly through us.
What kind of structure do we want to live in - one of limitations? of rigidity? or do we choose chaos?

There is always another way - what Jung called the transcendent function.
What if we let a more organic structure shape what we become instead?
Entrance
Whoever you are: in the evening step out
of your room, where you know everything;
yours is the last house before the far-off:
whoever you are.
With your eyes, which in their weariness
barely free themselves from the worn-out threshold,
you lift very slowly one black tree
and place it against the sky: slender, alone.
And you made the world. And it is huge
and like a word which grows ripe in silence.
And as your will seizes on its meaning,
tenderly your eyes let go. . . .
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
