Eight of Discs:

1 to 10 degrees Virgo; Ruled by Mercury (Ceres), Saturn and Sun; Lord of Prudence; “Changes in Enterprises.”

 

In the knitting basket,

eight skeins deep

the new scarf in the variegated yarn

is nearly finished.

The plump balls come unraveled,

they seems bent on escape,

rolling under the furniture,

leaving a trail of a single strand of yarn.

Hiding in the yarn bag,

deep in the inside pocket

the favorite wooden knitting needles

at the ready,

dreaming up the next project.
