Here's an easy-to-read-and-understand guide to the moon's phases.
It might help explain what's happening and why;
and give you a better idea of how to make the most of the
inevitable changes brought about by Moon.
Imagine being in a tribe of about 25 or so people on the night of a New Moon.
Huddled around the fire all is well, but beyond y'all is Infinite Darkness of Nothingness.
The landscape is invisible and full of every possibility that only The Void can bring.
Enveloped in the Black Womb of Creation and Destruction you know Fear and Hope
it is the Beginning and End of All Things.
....Before God said, "Let there be Light," there was first
the Deep Dark Nothingness from which Light and Life spring forth.
Now imagine a couple weeks later when the Full Moon
lights up your whole world and everything that was once hidden
around you is illuminated and nothing is unseen or unknown.
It is as if the Sun is out at night and you can run, jump and play
through the night without doubt or fear...there's an obvious correlation here.
Moon controls the very tide, it is by the Moon that we plant and harvest.
By the Sun we are given Light and our ever-changing Night Light....
Yet Moon reminds us of the Feminine in Her Constant Change, guiding
the Ebb and Flow of Humanity...Moon reminds us of the Breath in Her Full Moon Inhale
and Her New Moon Exhale and each and every phase of the waxing and waning
process....Moon reminds us of Life in Her Brightest Moments and Darkest Hours.

It's always been a dream of mine to go into space and to the moon.
Would you go to the Moon?
Do you have any Moon rituals?
Do you notice any personal patterns that go along with Moon's phases?
Do you only think about the Moon once in a Blue Moon?
Tonight, er tomorrow morning technically, the new moon is in Aries, the fire sign. I am definitely keeping this in consideration and preparing my heart in a sense. I look to the moon often recently, as the night is when I find my mind wondering, or I feel alone, or perhaps it's just when I get the most silence - I try and rest in feminine energy that so often gets neglected (as least for me)... genuine rest.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding a new found comfort in the moon/night; a nurturing energy, yet still a lot that is unknown and unseen.
"Our ever changing night light" - I like that. So true.
I can absolutely notice personality patters that coincide with the phases of the moon, especially when I pay attention.
To beginnings, growth, sharing and confusion...
