what remains
A brief look at the last New Moon of this solar year..
Many layers of significance are to be found in the depths of the Pisces alignment of this New Moon.
The Sun and Moon conjunction activate Neptune' entrance and 14yrs sojourn into the sign - and along with Chiron and Pallas, they do highlight the nature of its energy.
It is about what we call 'culture' or what remains whence everything else has disappeared..

Symbol 3° Pisces :
Petrified tree trunks lie broken on desert sand.
According to Rudhyar:
Key : The power to preserve records of their achievements which is inherent in fully matured cultures. When a vast group of men succeed in building a culture with strong institutions which express themselves in significant symbols and works of art or literature, such an effort of many generations is rarely lost altogether. In one form or another, records of this culture endure or are mysteriously preserved, simply because they reveal the place and function of this particular culture in the long process of unfoldment of the potentialities inherent in archetypal MAN. It is such a concept that has been mythified and popularized in the religious idea of the resurrection of the dead on the Last Day. The symbol of petrified wood in the Arizona desert, however, tells us that the actual preservation of the records is never perfect or total. Only fragments remain, significant enough to reveal the essential archetypal form.
This symbol brings the promise of social immortality — i.e. the preservation of the enduring (because archetypally meaningful) factors in whatever man attempts within his culture. A symbol of indestructability
