Full Moon in Earth

Keyword: Achievement

Meaning: The Moon is bright and full and in its light you and everyone else can see clearly the result of all your devotion and hard work to your project. Your business and financial skills are at their peak and others will seek your advice. There is great energy towards beneficial financial situations at this time.

In Virgo: Your success having been assured you can feel confident of that. Since success is assured there is no need to be boastful of all you have achieved. In the light of the full moon it is already plain to see. If you make more noise you will appear to be barking at the moon. (People will talk you know!)

Earth Goddess for this Moon

Demeter: Virgo / Earth

Life is constantly changing. At times, even the things in our life that we value the most will reach maturity, begin to fade and eventually disappear. This is the great cycle of life and it is proper that the old make way for the new. It is possible that what has left your life at this time will return to be reborn into something different that is useful to you on your path in this life. You may have a tendency to be vulnerable at this time and it is important that you be clear about what you wish to see happen. Cultivate wisdom and discernment in your dealings with others and be sure you know what is the motivation behind what is being offered to you.

Lunar Mansions: How to use them-

The Lunar mansion feature prominently in some of the earliest forms of astrology. The ancient Chinese, Arabian, Middle Eastern and Egyptians all gave the Moon and its travels through the heavens special prominence in their study of astrology. By dividing the course of the Moon in 28 Lunar Mansions we are able to discern subtle and very useful energies that can support our path in this life time. The Moon moves through each Lunar Mansion at approximately one Mansion, or 12 degrees 51 minutes per day.

By combing the energies of the current Lunar phase with the 12 signs of the Zodiac, the 12 Goddess', the four elements and the 12 houses the Lunar Mansions can help us zero in on the power of the cycles of life on this planet.

Mansion 14: Scepter

Ancient Name: Azimel – The Spike of Virgo

Influenced by Jupiter and Venus

Isn’t it great when we are standing center stage when the spot light turns on and all eyes are on fixed in our direction. Unless you want this to be just your 15 minutes of fame you will have some work to do. This is a time of careful planning and forethought. Taking time alone to think through what you really want, making concrete plans and developing the inner strength to put those plans into action will serve your long term desire for success and the recognition that comes with it. Careful planning will keep the spot light from turning off in the middle of your acceptance speech.

(My work with the lunar Mansions is base on the work of Caroline Smith & John Astrop)

General Description of Lunar Phases

General Moon Phase Descriptions

The phases of the moon can be likened to the growth of plants and are useful metaphors for understanding the natural cycles of our life.

1. Crescent Moon: The appearance of tiny shoots just as they are breaking through the earth. During this Moon phase we feel the desire to express ourselves in new or creative ways or to create new projects that reflect how we are feeling on an intuitive level. Ignoring this natural drive to create something new can cause us to feel overwhelmed by life.

2. First Quarter Moon: The plant absorbs energy, grows stronger and the first leaves appear.This is a time to throw ourselves into the management of the projects we have recently created. It is time to create structure and build a useful framework in order for our projects to succeed. This is the time to make dreams into reality.

3. Gibbous Moon: The plant now is able to fully receive the energy of both the Sun and the Earth and the first buds begin to grow. This the time to fine tune our projects or ourselves to more closely resemble our goals and higher aspirations in life. We have the energy and drive now to fulfill our dreams.

4. Full Moon: The buds in the fullness of the Sunlight become flowers. The full Moon represents a time of completion. Our project reaches it's zenith. We and it are well received. We are rewarded for our efforts and are recognized by others for our accomplishments. Everything, especially our inner light and power, are seen more clearly by others and ourselves.

5. Dissemination Moon: The flowers lose their petals and are transformed into fruit. Here is the time our project is put into practical use. We are able now to fully utilize all that we have learned and experienced. Our results are real and tangible. Life is sweet.

6. Last Quarter Moon: The leaves and remaining blossoms fall to the ground leaving only the seed pods to dry in the Sun. Time now to integrate into our daily activities all that we have been striving for. Here is when we can refine and strengthen our practices or projects. Consistent work through this time will form the beginning of lasting habits.

7. Balsamic Moon: The seed pods now burst open and the seeds float away in the wind. Here is where our emotions and our insight into ourselves or projects have extra support. We are able to see the far reaching aspects of ourselves and have sense of the future.

8. Black Moon: The Earth receives the seeds which lie dormant for a time awaiting the next growth cycle. A time for stillness. A time to allow our racing minds to find rest. This is an opportunity to reign in our emotions, and to slow down the pace of our life. It is a time for allowing our dreams the freedom to appear and disappear. Through non-movement and cultivation of no-thing-ness we allow the next cycle to come of its own accord.

What is Willow Grove Looks at Moon?

Willow Grove Looks at Moon

The Willow tree and the Moon have long been symbols of intuition and connection to our inner Divine spirit. The cycles of the Moon as it crosses the heavens, lighting the night sky and causing the tides to rise and fall are reflected in the yearly growth cycle of the Willow tree. Tea from its leaves can help us light our own inner night sky and its affinity for finding water all provide us with clues to an ancient and powerful synergistic relationship.

This understanding of elemental energetic cycles is something that our ancestors both understood and put to practical advantage in their daily lives. Is the knowledge of these natural cycles, which so influenced the lives of ancient peoples be useful in today’s so-called modern society?

It is possible that the balance we all are seeking in our lives comes not from gaining more material wealth or from some new technology but rather by connecting to the balance that is already fully present in our core being-ness. Can the natural cycles, so easily observed in nature, once again help us to turn on our own inner light and regain the connection to our Divine Selves? This Blog, Willow Grove Looks at Moon seeks to explore these questions.

Willow Grove Looks at Moon is one of several Blogs that I have created that are dedicated to increasing what I call Soul·knowl·ogy_©.

Soul·knowl·ogy_© is a new word I created to describe the process of both creating and practicing proven methods that can return us to a place where our inner connection to our Divine self once again becomes the guiding force in our lives.

Flow of Change

Flow of Change

Nothing is
Nothing is not

Something are
Something are not

I is
You is
We is
We are not

—not static
Is there meaning in
All this is-ness
Or is-not-ness?

Where do you and I lie?

What really scares us is
How great we be
In what we choose to see, only
Glean that which makes us free
To joyfully dance from first hello
Never needing to say good-bye

Maybe its not where or to know
Why we is, but being
Only power of the everlasting flow

The moon in her phases
Causing the rising tide
Planetary, primal, Human-ness

Became grace and tenderness
