Visualize this lunation as if it represents the diverse ecosystem of a rose bush in bloom. Many pathways available, many roses to be smelled, many insects and small animals to encounter. There’s a headiness as the perfume intoxicates and a pain that lingers when you are pricked. You can have the best time revealing in the beauty or you can get stuck in the thorns.
