Did you know Halloween is an astronomical holiday? Today you learned…
Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain, is a cross quarter day– a measurable point midway between the equinoxes. We all celebrate the fixed date on October 31st, but the astronomical point usually falls around November 6th or 7th. This only adds to my argument that spooky season should last longer, but I digress…
It’s thought Samhain happened on the night that the Pleiades star cluster culminated at midnight, but the whole switch from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar kinda moved things around date-wise. Thanks, Phillip II…
Samhain is high Autumn, the final harvest festival, so bring your plants in before they die! Speaking of, this time of year is a time when we reflect on death, transformation, and letting go. Many make ancestor altars, visit the graves of the deceased, or reflect on the circle of life. Wheel in the sky keeps on turning, and the next big holiday is Yule on December 21st.
The deck this month is the Housewives Tarot. I’ve drawn tarot cards for each sign of the Zodiac to give you all something to reflect on for astronomical Samhain this year. Look at your big three (sun, moon, and rising) to get a more complete picture of what the season could have in store for you. The readings were very water and earth heavy which elementally shows us that growth is in store if we don’t drown the ground.
