The Full Moon Today, and the Importance of Shedding Burdens

Like so many of the astrological features of 2013, the power of the full moon is extraordinary, still at her peak as I write. She is an uneasy moon, reflecting the burdens of the Planet and spotlighting, in her brightness, the realities that hide behind the layers of human illusion; she shows us ourselves, and guides us forward away from our past but aware of what that past was for: you, and I, are, in our present entirety the result of every moment of all our past. Today, too, is an opportunity to review the burdens we carry from that past, for the cycle just ending has put much load upon us, collectively and personally. If you will, consider, gently, what concerns you have that belong to others, or which are unnecessary, self-imposed or imaginary. Where a responsibility is real but burdensome, consider how it can be made a pleasure, or, at least, a little lighter. Let this day be one of lightness, a reflection of the brilliance and wisdom of Mother Moon, and it may you choose to make each full moon to come a celebration too of past, present and future, and indeed of Light.   [byline]  ]]>
