Monday Meditation

Blessed be

“back to work”

the gear-up

from the gear-down

the yin and yang

of life

I pause to consider

this day named for the Moon.

I pay her homage.

 What shall I give to the Moon

at the toil-gate of this week?

Blessing for an Astrology Meeting

May our Mercuries join

in communion of knowledge.

May we see Venus, the beauty in others

but have Mars handy when it’s time for action.

May Jupiter rise

to make our time together fun

and to keep us ever-thirsty to learn.

May Saturn give us enough organization 
 to keep us on track

without stifling our creativity.

May Chiron bring us healing and wholeness

if we stumble onto the broken parts of ourselves

and in the pain discover a catalyst for fulfillment.

Uranus, patron saint!

May you keep us excited, engaged, a-buzz

and alive.

Neptune, source of inspiration,
compassion and unity:
Help us share our visions and emotions
 to listen with sensitivity
to join our creativity
to see ourselves in each other.

  Pluto, Lord God of the Underworld:

help us remember that Darth Vader

was once a Jedi Knight

as we all are inside.

May we be one Sun in our time together

shining enlightenment

experiencing the alchemy and paradox

that only by being our unique selves

do we create community.

Prayer on a New Moon

 Poem © 2013 by Joyce Mason

Sun and Moon

mating in the sky

Moon pregnant

with new beginnings:

Help me develop my embryonic seeds

to their fullest potential.

Infuse my month

with creativity and the thrill

of waxing my projects

and myself

to fullness.

Point me to the most meaningful wisdom

where you fall in my chart.

Rejuvenate the part of my life

that repeats your cosmic code

celestial DNA

that grows me

an inch taller

into what I am becoming

in this brief gestation

of my many Moons.

Sunset Prayer

Poem © 2013 by Joyce Mason
All Rights Reserved

Fading Sun,
 bathe my tired body

in orange-gold pools

of overused Mars

Release my drooping head

from Mercury still heavy

on my mind

help me help him

go from quick- to slowsilver

Let Venus

tickle my skin

spots of sweet memories

of love's everyday moments

highlights of my day

Send Jupiter on a long a hike

from big gestures

to draw me
into my inner journey

Send Saturn away till tomorrow

and Uranus

enemies of sleep

If Pluto comes calling

tell him to meet Neptune

in my dreams

to leave me alone

in these holy hours of daily wind-down

Bless me with
TV films and night movies

God and Goddess

of a day well spent

while I wade into your waters

melt with another day

into the ocean of forever.
