Once in a Blue Moon

In the 1500’s this expression meant ‘ridiculous or highly unlikely’.  We now know that blue moons are a naturally occuring phenomenon when two full moons occur in one calendar month or seasonal cycle.  On average blue moons occur once every 2 years.  Tonight’s full blue moon is also a supermoon appearing 14% larger and 30% brighter than normal .  

Ancients, mystics and sages have long believed in the power of this moon.  As the moon affects the tides, so do the waters in us rise and our sensitivities shimmer under the complete fullness of her light.  What was hidden is illuminated, and rises from our inner depths to the surface.

Three things cannot be hidden, the sun, the moon and the truth.  Buddha

Tonight we will close our eyes and slip into the other world submerging into our inner waters of receptivity and silent communication there to receive the transfer of feelings as communication from our soul.  Theperculiarbrunette.com 

The moon never beams without bringing me dreams. Edgar Allen Poe

Tonight I invite you to reflect on the dreams closest to  your heart and set considered intentions.

Full moon light shines tonight, gates break down, change enters to host life afresh. Djinn

Legless takes on a new meaning

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.
