Notes About The Poem

Current Understanding: NASA's educational resources explain that due to the Earth's axial tilt and the movement of celestial bodies, the positions of constellations have shifted over millennia. This means that the traditional zodiac signs do not align perfectly with the current positions of the constellations. In summary, NASA's involvement with astrology primarily revolves around clarifying misconceptions and providing scientific explanations about the zodiac, rather than endorsing or altering astrological beliefs.

I mention the art of astrology as well, for those who believe, cool stuff! Ty, sweet Sara

Summer solstice makes me feel fine, going through the jasmine of my mind. Astrology morphed into astronomy, just like alchemy morphed into chemistry, so let's get with it, more science, less RFK JR.! Congratulations on your win, Anaya! Thanks for requesting I dip through my archives for my poem "Women In My Family" for Brian's blog. Happy June (my late mother's name) Robert

It feels forever, though its been but a fortnight. You're wit fits just fine today & bon mots are taken well. You're a breathe of fresh air. It's a pleasure, you had your painting spell and beautiful paintings they are, hoping you take it up again, in your spare time? Ty, dear dear poet. Love the name June! Blessings

Pretty cool. So the solstice this summer is in Cancer? I wonder how that affects it. I love astrology stuff. Very nice, Anaya

The solstice came on same day as the Tropic of Cancer. At noon it's directly above us, as we know the longest day. No shadows! The article above is interesting, Ty for commenting ,)

Once upon a time, I used to identify the patterns of the stars. I loved the Cassopedia best. We used to hike at night without a compass.

It must be a gorgeous route in Malta, to see Cassiopeia the 'W' in the night sky! It's unusual, I've only hiked in California mountains & canyons, lately it's to the foothills & back ~ Blessings
