Jester
It’s been a while since I posted anything on here, and the sun’s in Cancer (as it was when I wrote the piece below back in 1994) with Mercury slowing to station retrograde around 26 degrees Cancer tomorrow (29th June 2026). When I looked at the chart for the day I wrote it, the water energy washed over me! Ceres, sun and moon in Cancer, Jupiter, North Node and Pluto in Scorpio, Saturn in Pisces (Mercury at the time of writing was in the very last degree of Gemini). At that time I was also in a very emotional space as my youngest son was just a couple of months old and there were some interesting family-of-origin dynamics going on in my life (the Centaur, Nessus, it seems, was also in Scorpio at that time), which prompted the words to flow…
I’m the jester
Watch me dance your feelings
I’m the jester
Throw them on my back
See how many I can carry round and round the stage
Watch me juggle with emotions – I can be your slave
Yes, I’m the jester
Watch me take your feelings
I’m the jester
Use me like a horse
Strong am I – just look how strong
I’ve been carrying these so long
Ever higher pile the feelings
They can almost reach the ceiling
From the rafters laughter’s pealing
Come and watch the dance!
