From the Sun’s distant point of view, the Moon doesn’t orbit the Earth. The Moon orbits the Sun and “transits” the Earth. The Moon weaves us into the Circle of Life.
The YouTube channel that explains it popped up on my feed yesterday. NASA refers to the Moon’s path as both an “orbit” and a “transit”. The video makes the transit crystal clear.
OTHER LITTLE-KNOWN ASTRONOMY FACTS
Venus has quasi-satellite called ZOOZVE. ZOOZVE orbits the Sun while staying close to Venus. Both Venus and Earth share a “quasi transiting moon.” ZOOZVE was named by a twist of fate – a matter of handwriting. The astronomer who recorded its first siting wrote “2002VE” on the map. ZOOZVE became so well-known, they adopted the name. (Venus is also 1 of only 2 planets that rotate clockwise vs. counterclockwise. Earth and all the others turn counterclockwise toward a Sunrise in the East. Venus turns to the Sunrise in the West.)
December 18, 2025 was a “ZOOZVE moon” – meaning, ZOOZVE transited Venus on the Earth-facing side at the New Moon. (Who knows what it means? Rhetorical Question)

ZOOZVE looks like Venus is presenting a “Seed.” And the Moon is weaving Light into Earth’s Circle of Life.
The Most Widely-known Unknown: Earth’s Perihelion
Maybe 2026 will be the Year the Media reports the major event, January 3, 2026, Earth’s closest proximity to the Sun. The Sun will shine before us and the Moon at our back. The wolves howled in the month of the Full Wolf Moon, defining the boundaries, parameters, and the multiplying numbers of the Pack.
Family circled the fire and entered the endless Light of possibilities. On the Darkest-Coldest Nights the circle was defined by those who would share the final feast before Spring. The Full Wolf Moon falls on Cancer.

6 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi) – Day 6 of 13 of the 1 Wind/IK trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.
Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.
A GOOD DAY TO: Be of service to others.
Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi: Symbolized by Constellation Galagina, the Stag, known as Taurus, the Bull. It does not include the Pleiades and Hyades clusters which in Cherokee are viewed as separate. To feed, gatherers of food and supplies, they enjoy rituals, ceremonials, feasts, the souls of hospitality, sociability. Freedom versus security issues often inspire leadership and unique solutions. Combined with artistic and inspiring energies in harmony with lunar cycles, they nourish the clans. Totem-Deer: A priest or shaman, a powerful person in general, to overwhelm an individual with one’s personal power, divination; inclined to become a teacher, healer, guru, civic leader, or politician. Ability to create harmonic resonance.
