Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody -Mark Twain

This weekend we celebrate Halloween AND the second full moon in one calendar month, the Blue Moon. This means effects are magnified.
The word lunatic originally referred to epilepsy and madness, diseases thought to be caused by the moon. In the fourth and fifth centuries they thought your horoscope could predict "diseases of the mind". Aristotle felt the brightness of the moon led to sleep deprivation and therefore induced bipolar behaviours. There is no doubt that some behaviours are exacerbated during the time of the full moon. A lesser known fact that lunatics also referred to those seeking a reliable means to calculate longitude in the 1700's. And learned members of the Lunar Society called themselves lunatiks for meeting on the nights of full moons to discuss science.
However you decide to celebrate this weekend, do take time to gaze at the magnificence of the full moon. Allow your gaze to connect you to those loved ones on the other side of the world knowing they too are benefiting from the light, the energy and the resonance of the universe. I invite you to listen to 'Blue Moon' by Billie Holliday.
