The daily woo:
Lawrence Winnerman popped off today about the moon, and here’s the gist of it all—including that amazing quote about the rider with the too-large armor.
The Void of the Fortunate Ancestral Armor
Moon in ♉︎ Taurus squares Jupiter in ♌︎ Leo
Hinge degree 23°46′ Taurus, the twenty-fourth degree
🌖 Waning Gibbous

(moondark.app) A rider wears the armor of the ancestors, old tokens of victory knocking at the belt, and the armor is a size too large. Jupiter under the square is the luck of inheriting it: the steel is real, the fit is not, and every clasp was made for a bigger body. Which of the old victories the rider would have won alone, the armor does not say.
And today’s Tarot card? Um, Death. Nothing to see here…
