FWIW, today is the start of Winter in the "Rorian" Taurus-Equinox (T- E) Calendar, when the Sun enters T-E Capricorn. This is the month of the Indigo Mason, or Crone: Kali, Cailleach, Loki -- Saturn as Binah the Sterile Mother -- she is the Critic, the Stonecutter, chipping away all identification with the unTrue and unReal. She is Death to all that is impermanent.
These first 2.5 days of Crystal-Month are especially interesting, when her mate the Violet Alchemist (Jupiter, ruler of T-E Aquarius) slays his father, the Golden Solar Creator (Baeli-Braehim), by blinding his right eye: as the Sun is the right eye of the Cosmic Person, the death of the sun is the transcendence of the right eye, or "masculine" pingala-current. This story finds echos in Loki's instigation of the slaying of Baldur the Beautiful with the spear of mistletoe, Lug's slaying of Balor of the Baleful Eye, "St." George (Gae-ourgi, "earth-worker," but more accurately "Molten-metal- worker") slaying the fiery dragon, and probably Odysseus's blinding of the Cyclops and Samson (Shamash-On, Sun-God)'s blinding and captivity in the "mill" of the North (the heavens turning about the pole star). For us personally, it is a commemoration of the slaying of our radiant Brahmic-ego, or Solar Angel, for its excessive pride. Not surprising, I guess, that this issue has been lively for us again of late ... *lol*
