A poem for each sign for the new moon in aquarius, organized by element. Text under the read more.

Aries

A heavy heart Furry, beating, and low Furious, ferocious, and starving for love Willing to stay through thick and thin, through water and blood The womb holds both life and death Sometimes new friends look like old enemies

Leo

Only time will tell if these feelings stay true Isolated in my brilliance I get so angry when I’m lonely Alone in the sky for all to see My only company resides in hades Time itself depends on me

Sagittarius

How we all change over time Unpredictable twists and turns fill our path Walking on all fours until we fall Will anything ever change? Unpredictable places and treasures lie in wait Peace is found in pieces

Taurus

Golden tears fall in fits of grief Brilliant and unnatural Painting the ground with our pain Bright and unseen Don’t hold in your tears For they light the path your angels will take When they show up to hold you

Virgo

I hold dear all that is around me The bitterness of ending and the confusion of beginning I say goodbye to him each day And each night I hold his warmth in my heart The coldness of apathy cannot see me My love for the world is as endless as the sun

Capricorn

Grief follows me like a persistent ghost It travels through walls and time, moving slowly It corners me when I’m scared and looks me in the eyes I feel seen It teaches me that I am human, that to exist is to suffer It holds my hand with each heartbreak. I am never alone

Gemini

I’m a hungry creature whose needs are unknown I crave foods i can’t pronounce And love I’ve never known I’m a gentle creature whose needs are unknown I crave affection i can’t ask for And love I’ll never forget

Libra

Never ever leave me Think of the fruits we’ve grown The coldest time of year brings death But i can’t stop thinking of life Return to me again Think of the fruits we could grow

Aquarius

Suffering is natural, to grieve is to live Why do you choose to fight nature? It’s hard to breathe when you’re carrying the weight of the world Come to the shore and take a dive Drown in the ocean of my love Suffocate yourself in to a new being

Cancer

I am born from the grave Death fuels my life How cruel it feels to be neglected To be starved of what i need Death fuels my life And life will be my death

Scorpio

Shake my foundations, shake me to my very core Show me how sturdy I can be Test the waters of my strength Swim to my heart You’ll see how far I’ve come i can prove I’ll keep you safe

Pisces

Inevitable changes, all part of a cycle Twists and turns none can expect I’ve had enough of the silence Show me how good things can be Shed my pain like dead skin It’s time to grow in to who I am

On an average, overcast day, I was running. Sprinting forwards, the only goal to exist on an adventure. On an average, overcast day, I was running. Sprinting forwards, until I fell. As I fell, I contemplated how hard I was going to hit the ground. My goal was now to brace for impact. The clarity of impact never came, however, and my body fell through the ground, carrying the weight of the world. I continued to fall. As I fell, I listed the ways I could have been more careful. I spent hours falling, ruminating on how it could’ve been prevented. On an average, overcast day, I was ruminating. I hated falling. Endlessly. Continuously. Perpetually. Spiraling downwards, trying to gain control of the wind as I drop. Eventually, as I was falling, it started to feel like flying. I hated flying. Even now I’m scared to fall again. I cannot, however, deny the nature of my wings. I am built for flying and I love the way I am built.

Do you know about any Sumerian names for the planets? I know Venus is associated with Inanna, but I can't find names of other planets/ an associated deity until the Babylonians. I know they didn't do astrology but I'd guess they knew about the other planets still.

Hello! Took me a little searching, but here’s what I’ve found - most of these are from Halloran (2006).

Mercury is guud 𒄞𒌓 “bull (of the) sun” or uduidim 𒇻𒅂 "sheep (of) heaven”

Venus is ninsianna 𒀯𒀭𒎏𒋜𒀭𒈾 “lady of the evening sky”

Mars is mulsa 𒀯𒋛𒀀 “red star”

Jupiter is shulpaea 𒀯𒂄𒉺𒌓𒁺𒀀 “resplendent young man”

Saturn is possibly genna 𒌉𒁹 “child”, which may be a borrowing from Akkadian

The other planets (Uranus, Neptune) weren’t known to the ancient Mesopotamians. As for the statement “they didn’t do astrology”, we don’t have a clear record of astrology from the Sumerian period (only from the Akkadian/Babylonian era in the second millennium BCE) but it’s quite likely the Sumerians did use the movements of the stars as omens, just not with the same framework modern astrologers may use.
