Sonoran Moon Hats
Description: This moon was almost full and in the astrological sign of Virgo when this photo was taken on April 15, 2019. The sun was setting, and the moon appeared to be floating among waves of clouds in soft hues of blue and purple. Digital enhancement pronounces this effect. The Sonoran Desert skies about 50 miles south of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, are always full of magical wonders to behold!
Description: September 20, 2013, Autumnal Equinox at dawn: It was a long hike to where these power lines intersected the Vekol wash in the Sonoran Desert wilderness of Arizona about 60 miles south of Phoenix. The full moon in Aries was setting, and I had the fortunate experience of being in the right place at the right time to capture this bizarre imagery. It is an appropriate symbol of the powerful amplification of this cosmic energy and stellar configuration by the laser-like focus of a full moon. So no - it’s not solar power depicted here but LUNAR power — in the first sign of the zodiac no less - Aries - ruled by the volatile and fiery energy of the planet Mars.
