MOON MAGIC

The moon has held humankind's fascination for as long as time, and with good reason. Having the power to affect water, we know how the gravitational force of the heavenly body we call 'Moon' works on the tides. Luna is the root word for Lunacy, a state of madness, or at least, a temporary loss of what some consider sanity.

During a "full" Moon, we are able to see the light of the sun fully reflected on the Moon's craggy face. During a "dark" Moon, the shadow of Earth prevents the reflection of the sun's light on the Moon's surface. The aspects of each occurrence have unique attributes, but let's look at the one that is pertinent to today's Blue Moon, or Black Moon: that is, a second Super Moon, and in this case, also a Dark Moon, that falls within the same calendar month as the first.

To be certain, this is based on the Roman calendar that we now follow, making the months within that annual calendar to some degree, arbitrary. However, Dark Moon is my favorite Moon. With the Sun, Earth and Moon all in perfect alignment, the feeling to me is one of harmony. Dark Moon is the time of interior thought and reflection. The time to pause and listen.

And this Black Moon, this Super Moon of January, falls in Aquarius, giving it certain energies to consider:

Aquarius rules platonic relationships and humanitarianism; 

the ability to see the trees and the forest (the big picture) 

and the forward impetus to clearly and objectively manifest 

the dreams set forth thereof; inventions are ruled by Aquarius, 

not only from the aspect of clearly seeing the larger picture, 

but also in the minutiae of eccentric ideas, unconventional methods, 

and the ability to form concepts from surprising and 

unexpected results of the first stages.

In the body, Aquarius concerns itself with matter of circulation, and rules over the feet and ankles. Aquarius energy has an affinity for large groups and how one fits into the 'big picture.'

Questions you might ask yourself: 

How well do I see the large picture? 

Am I balanced in spending time alone and in circulating among groups?

 Am I choosing to see my challenges in new ways and allowing myself to be detached from the many possible outcomes--rather than trying to control the outcomes (and therefore never leaving the comfort zone nor finding real solutions to old concerns)? 

Could changing the pathways I utilize 
to form decisions remove obstacles more expediently? 

Does my blood return to my heart cleaner, more energized, 
and better oxygenated that it left it (reciprocity & gain)?

Enjoy today's Black Moon.
