Erev Pesach
Sun in Aries / Taleh, the ram/lamb
Full Moon in Libra / Moznayim, the scales
Mars/Ma’adim-ruled Aries, the Tribe of Yehuda, and Venus/Noga-ruled Libra, the Tribe of Ephraim are juxtaposed on the Full Moon Festivals of Nissan’s Pesach and Tishrei’s Sukkot.
On the Full Moon of Pesach, the Sun in Aries is opposite the Full Moon in Libra. On the Full Moon of Sukkot, the Sun in Libra is opposite the Full Moon in Aries. On the Full Moon of Pesach, the judgment of Mars/Ma’adim is writ in blood on the lintels & the doorposts of the Jewish home, where we stay inside. On the Full Moon of Sukkot, the judgment of the Scales/Moznayim of Tishrei is removed as we remove ourselves outside, to the Sukkah.
Aries is Yehuda and Libra is Ephraim. Aries is Mars/Ma’adim and Libra is Venus/Noga. Aries is Moshiach Ben David, Ephraim is Moshiach Ben Yosef.
Yehuda and Ephraim become “one stick” in the prophet’s hand in Ezekiel 37:19. This is the Haftarah we read for Parshat Vayigash, reminding us that the Messianic vision of Israel is that of a united people.
May all judgment be removed as we gather together in peace and unity.
Chag HaMatzot Sameach! A Zissen/Sweet Pesach to One and All!
