Good morning America! You all seem thrilled about Biden’s moon rock. Its symbolism, of the scientific and exploratory achievements that have been made – and will ideally soon be surpassed – certainly hits home.

What you might not know is that rock has an *epic* backstory. 1/x

This rock is known as Lunar Sample 76015,143 - an unromantic name for one of the geologic treasures brought back from the Moon during the Apollo era. This was scooped up by the Apollo 17 astronauts, including Harrison Schmitt, the only professional geologist sent to the moon. 2/x

But that’s not where our story begins. The rock's sage starts 4.5 billion years earlier.

I don’t know if you know this, but you should: the Moon is a hole-punched volcanic crypt, a place sculpted by huge impacts and strange, epic effusions of lava. 3/x

We don’t know how the Moon formed. But the leading theory, partly because it’s the simplest, is that a Mars-sized protoplanet slammed into a magma ocean-covered baby Earth. The impact debris formed an orbiting disk, and it clumped together. Et voilà. 4/x

A whole bunch of cool stuff happened after that. But our moon rock comes into the picture around 600 million years later, around the time giant space rocks were pelting the Moon, Marco Inaros-style. They left some epic scars, mostly on the nearside for some unknown reason. 5/x

Saturn in Aquarius-Thread

Saturn will be in Aquarius until March 7, 2023.
Saturn is now in a diurnal, air, fixed domicile.
Aquarius is associated with the myth of Ganymede, the youthful cup-bearer of the Gods. This is a nuanced form of servitude; to hold that which is true

and unattainable by humanity in your cup, but to hold a juvenescence that is coveted by our lords of time.
This tension of above and below, in a diurnal sign, is far from figurative language. This dimensionality, the divide of space and time, is preferred by the essential and

inherent beingness of Saturn. This is, indeed, the geometry of time. For as where Saturn in Capricorn holds the intimacy of placing one’s feet on the ground strategically; Saturn in an air sign holds the intelligence of negative space, of borderlands, of crossing between reality

I turn to a Japanese concept of “Ma” when I think of Saturnian mastery in Aquarius, “The existence of ma in an artwork has been interpreted as "an emptiness full of possibilities, like a promise yet to be fulfilled",

and has been described as "the silence between the notes which make the music"

The next great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be December 21, 2020. That date is, coincidentally, the date of the December solstice.

The rare occurrence will happen after sunset on Dec. 21, 2020, the start of the winter solstice.
