✨The Music of the Spheres…✨

THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES


My grandmother, in a hamlet, up in the Andean mountains, was a stargazer.
It couldn’t be another way, since she married a quiet man with the last name “Luna” (moon), who still planted his small crops according to the ancestral wisdom of the astronomical farmer’s almanac. Leopoldo had inherited his unusual first and last names from his father, who had come on horseback, from a foreign land across the massive natural border of the mountains.
This, at the very beginning of the 20th century, so I am pretty sure that first Leopoldo Luna was guided, in a long and perilous adventure, by nothing more than the stars!...

I was little, and my stargazing Abuelita (Granny) Luna would take me out at night, to watch the dark velvet canvas, where the wondrous milky way was stitched, although shooting stars would often leap from it, eager to grant a wish.
The dog, Planeta (no kidding), would look up with us, as she pointed to the constellations, saying “Las 3 Marías”, “Las 3 Pepitas”, or “Las 7 que Brillan”.
It took me years to realize those were her own names for them!...

I remember her excitement once, when a certain comet was traveling very near the Earth! And her attempts for us to get a better view through some old and battered, tiny opera lenses...
Of course she had a predilection for the moon,  and would always greet her with special care.
On occasions, surely when she was full, Abuelita would playfully plead,“Lunita, Lunita, dame platita!” (Little Moon, give me a little money!), and pretend to save an invisible shower of prosperity down her cleavage.

Luna, my last name, which I’ve used as my first since very young. Always feeling such a deep kinship with the magical Sister Moon above.
With that as my name, and all the sky gazing, I was totally  inoculated by cosmic energies... and it’s only natural I’d be often teased at school, being told I was “on the moon” (daydreaming).
It was also quite fitting to my mystical tendencies, that as a child had me experiencing those things, such as the infinitude of the Universe, not as an idea, but as felt through my own body…  I know, not possible to convey with words.

It was only natural as well, that very early on, I’d become fascinated by Astrology.
You know, that ancient, mysterious science that has sought to interpret the influence heavenly bodies have on us...
While I don't seek to convince anybody of anything, this thought amuses me. Skeptics, those that find this utterly “woo woo” or ridiculous, could pause just for a moment, to reflect on the mighty effects the luminaries alone (sun & moon) have, in fact, over all of life on Earth!…
If nothing else, just for the sake of exercising the muscles of an open mind.
And then, just for fun, they could try a complementary reflection: pondering on how, at some point, the real, “serious sciences” were declaring the Earth was flat, and our galaxy (the part known until then) was all there was, among other interesting claims… hehehe. :)

Over the years, in the spirit of “know thyself”, of soul expansion, of healing, I followed the scintillating footprints of the stars, adding Astrology to my variegated studies.
It wasn't readily available, as it is nowadays. In the 70's, or 80's, that subject was a rarity in a tiny South American country, at the end (or the beginning!) of the planet.
So it was slow learning, which, as an empirical being, included many astrology readings.
From different perspectives and approaches; from shallow fortune-telling, software regurgitated, cookie cutter generics, to some more inspired attempts at apprehending sparks of Soul.

But the mystic in me always needed the embodied, direct experience. I still do.
And some genuine beauty and poetry, why not.
It's a completely different experience to “sense” your Natal Chart, in its primordial beauty, as the Sound frequencies dancing through it. This creative, Uranian approach (learn more HERE), filled the void I felt, stitching together, with a golden thread, Healing, Sound and Cosmic Wisdom.
As I consider it a sort of Astrological Baptism, I also do this for babies and children.
I know my Luna grandparents are winking from the heavens, as shooting stars...
