'Ole Kulua (second of four 'Ole moons)

A shy 'Ole Moon sinking in the Western sky

These 'ole moons move toward the fattening of Mahina's light for a Full Moon in Sagitarius, June 2, 2015. . 'Ole moons are a time of reconciling, and weeding. Making peace with the balance between doing more or doing less Nature simply is.

I notice:

There are many berries coming ripe. But. The Salmon berries that did flower so early are ripening small and dry with many seeds. They are not momona (fat and juicy), still they do taste like guava!

The growth of all the la'au (greenery) continues to grow toward the sun.

The sky is not momona either but overcast most of the day, clearing only just before dusk, with no rain to quench thirsty us.

The Scotch Broom has been blooming for over 10 weeks. An excessive season.

Mercury (in the sign of Gemini) has a long season too. Being retrograde now, and in its sign of exaltation (the sign that rules him) through mid-June. Communication of all sorts are stalled, highlighting the practice of 'Ole. Something to consider.

'Ole kukahi (yesterday)

 When I was a girl growing up next to Yurie (Aunty Lily) Buffins, she would tell me, "God's taking his sheep home," when the clouds looked like this. Yesterday's 'ole kulua sky was an Aunty Lily sky.

Look closely and you can see the long(er) and snaking growth of the Bracken ferns. They are almost knee high now. Click here to see where they were last 'ole cycle. 

The salmon berry blossoms get bigger.
