Strawberry Moon // Mary Oliver
1.
My great-aunt Elizabeth Fortune
stood under the honey locust trees,
the white moon over her and a young man near.
The blossoms fell down like white feathers,
the grass was warm as a bed, and the young man
full of promises, and the face of the moon
a white fire.
Later,
when the young man went away and came back with a
bride,
Elizabeth
climbed into the attic.
2.
Three women came in the night
to wash the blood away,
and burn the sheets,
and take away the child.
Was it a boy or a girl?
No one remembers.
3.
Elizabeth Fortune was not seen again
for forty years.
Meals were sent up,
laundry exchanged.
It was considered a solution
more proper than shame
showing itself to the village.
4.
Finally, name by name, the downstairs died
or moved away,
and she had to come down,
so she did.
At sixty-one, she took in boarders,
washed their dishes,
made their beds,
spoke whatever had to be spoken,
and no more.
5.
I asked my mother:
what happened to the man? She answered:
Nothing.
They had three children.
He worked in the boatyard.
I asked my mother: did they ever meet again?
No, she said,
though sometimes he would come
to the house to visit.
Elizabeth, of course, stayed upstairs.
6.
Now the women are gathering
in smoke-filled rooms,
rough as politicians,
scrappy as club fighters.
And should anyone be surprised
if sometimes, when the white moon rises,
women want to lash out
with a cutting edge?

My man’s 1st house Chiron being sandwiched right between My White Moon Selena and Ceres in my 3rd house, and me communicating to him every time I see him that he’s insanely good-looking. 🥲
Note: White Moon Selena represents our light💡ie altruistic and nurturing traits. It’s the opposite of Black Moon Lilith as it’s the point of the Moon’s orbit closest to earth (the lunar perigee) rather than the point farthest from Earth (the lunar apogee/Black Moon Lilith).
Ceres is a dwarf planet that also tends to represent nurturing and support. And I can really tell that it’s on my partner’s ascendant natally. So I’m happy to be able to nurture him too, with my encouraging and healing words.
It’s perfect that I made this conscious synastry realization while the Gemini Sun is even starting to shine its spotlight on these three points in the chart/our charts. 🌞🤍

No one:
Me: White Moon was meant to be adopted by Cornelia and Eli, his name is literally a thing you can see in the night sky, what more proof do you need
