Full Moon 11-11-11
There is so much chatter out there about 11-11-11! A new energy! A change! A disaster! With all of this fuss, we are taking attention away from the other regular pattern of things that happen. I am thinking now astrologically, and in particular the Moon. This Thursday, November 10 and gliding into Friday November 11 is a beautiful full moon.
A full moon occurs about every 29.5 days when the moon is opposite the earth from the sun. It gradually becomes visibly bigger to us as the days from the New Moon (about two weeks before) until it becomes a complete circle. During the time of the full moon it appears to us as a completion of the visible process. It has grown and built up to fullness and completion.
Astrologically, the moon is thought to govern emotions, feelings, intuitive thinking and past life energy. So as the moon visibly reaches fullness, we energetically and emotionally reach a fullness and culmination as well. Our intuitions are sharp and our feelings are strong. This is usually so subtle that we hardly seem to notice. At other times we notice. It gives credence to the old stories about the full moon crazies.
As you become aware of astrological influences and energies, you can use them. If the full moon time is one of strong intuitions and feelings, why not use that time to acknowledge emotions and urges and use the power that all of this creates? This, of course, can be done gently. At this time, try writing how you feel and what you feel you want to do and pursue. Spend time with trusted friends and enjoy discussions and banter where you can feel free to express yourself. Acknowledge the lows that will be felt, as always in your emotional self. But also celebrate the fullness of your life and the richness of your emotional self.
From what I have gathered, the full moon this week carries a particularly strong energy for polarities and strong emotions, but allows for putting them together positively to move forward in a new way. Grab the excitement of that intuition or feeling and look for ways to fit it into your real world. Allow yourself to be passionate and creative…and find ways to weave this into your life more often. Transformation…in a practical way.
I am not sure of what the astrological aspects etc. etc. are this week. I read and hear the information and then let my intuition come up with what I sense to be the meaning for me. I believe that is what we all need to do…especially with high profile and media-hyped things such as 11-11-11.
Enjoy this wonderful full moon energy. Use it for your own purpose…even if it leads you to do something wild and crazy.
