The Eye

Perhaps the most glorious sign of The Soul's love for the world is The Eye. A great wheel of light that in summer fills half the night sky, meaning the nights are never truly dark (it's about as bright as the full moon). At the height of summer it is present throughout the night, reaching its apex at the top of the firmament close to the summer solstice. After this its height wanes and and its rise becomes earlier in the day until by mid-winter it barely rises above the eastern horizon, and that rise comes during the day, when only its upper arms are visible as cloud-like white wisps, much like the moon appears when it's out during the day.

What is it exactly? Perhaps scholars somewhere can explain it in better words, but all we know is that it's something of great beauty.

Where is it? Very high, further than the moon, which often passes in front of it, so likely many miles up at least.

What does it mean? Astrologers put great meaning behind where it was when you were born, and sometimes their predictions seem accurate. But to most of it it means just that The Soul watches over us from above, and we should take great comfort from that.
