Milo and June and the Ten Wandering Lights
The second journey · a dream adventure
A week after their first dream, Milo and June lie on the same blanket — but this time they watch for the stars that move. The Sky-Keeper is waiting with an empty glass lantern. On the first journey the children met the signs, the how. Tonight they will meet the what: the ten wanderers of a birth chart, from the shining Sun to tiny, shy Pluto. Each one drops a little light into the lantern, and each one has a real sky fact to share.
Ten short chapters, one wanderer each: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Every chapter pairs a sky fact (real astronomy) with an astrology idea (what the tradition says it stands for), and ties each planet back to the friends from Book 1 — because in astrology, every planet is a “helper” of a sign. It ends with a match-up activity and a night-sky challenge.
