The Owls will likely be out tonight. http://pixiedusthealing.blogspot.ca/2012/07/animal-signs-owl.html They are the spirit animal in Shamanic Astrology that corresponds to Western Astrology's Sagittarius. Like this moon the Owl Spirit is about expansion, increased consciousness and wisdom brought from awareness.
This moon brings the energy to unite physical and spiritual. It's about bringing your knowing into your reality, letting go of limitations of thought and physically or spiritually imposed restrictions. This is powerful energy for moving forward in the flow. You should expect intuitive insight and inspiration.
In my part of the world, according to my ancestors, this is a planting moon. Crops that produce above the soil are to be planted just as this moon waxes full. Yesterday my tomato babies gleefully screamed at me that they needed to be planted. I listened to them even though the weather forecast suggested today might have been a better day to plant. They seem very happy today safely tucked into their "big kid beds" their toes stretched out and spacious, ready to receive the full power of the moon to allow their roots to expand. Crops that produce beneath the soil are to be planted just as this moon wanes. My potato patch will soon be vibrant once again. It's humming in readiness now. That kind of connection with plant allies is what this moon is about. It's time to listen to what nature is telling you and work with them.
As if that most powerful of Full Moon's isn't enough to pull us along, today also marks a Lunar Eclipse. A Lunar Eclipse signifies the energy to finish up the past, close off a chapter, and move on a new path with greater illumination. This particular eclipse is almost "imperceptible". It isn't obvious from any vantage point on earth. You won't see it happen. That doesn't mean it isn't happening. It means, like many things, something is occurring that is beyond your sight and intellect. There are things we feel that we can't explain, see, or prove. Hmm....
Tonight's Full Moon is also known as the flower moon so it only seems right to consider some Bach Flowers if you're having trouble to fully connect with the energy in the way you want to. Clematis, Scleranthus, and Honeysuckle all come to mind.
Clematis might be helpful if you're got the dream but are having a hard time bringing it into your present reality. In fact, you might not even be particularly trying to bring it to reality. You may be spending more time off in dreamland without taking any tangible steps to plant your aspirations. A few drops of Clematis might help you ground your inspiration and provide a sense of purposeful movement. Exactly the kind of energy this Full Moon provides.
Scleranthus might be helpful if you're going back and forth between what you know and what you feel. When the Moon is in Sagittarius the sun is in Gemini. Gemini is quite a flip/flop energy. It's hard to settle on a decision because the pros and cons seem equally valid. If you want more information about this Gemini energy check out this week's (May 22nd) Pele Report at http://newparadigmastrology.com/ . Scleranthus can help you unite logic with intuition so you can find the balance in the middle. That energy is freely available during this Full Moon, but a few drops of Scleranthus might help you find that certainty and decisiveness to move forward.
Honeysuckle could be helpful for you, particularly if the Lunar eclipse energy of letting go of the past is something you want to tap into but are struggling with. Honeysuckle can help you live in the present without experiencing the past as overpowering in either a positive or negative way. Honeysuckle can help you accept the past for just what it is-the past- allowing you to move forward into a new light.
In my opinion, this new expansive energy is freely available and offered to us. It's in particular abundance right now and a nature's offering to us. That doesn't mean you have to take it, or feel it, or believe it. If you want to stay with past ways of being, old habits, tried and true paths, secure patterns, the pull of the moon isn't going to change that. You don't even have to notice the moon or nature if you aren't ready or don't want to go there. Life doesn't have to change. But it could...
If you truly want to expand your consciousness, reach a new level, experience a new path and a letting go, now is a good time to do it. Tap into that "jump start" being offered right now and enjoy the journey. I believe we have three choices at this point. The first choice is to ignore nature, our sense of knowing and deep feelings and just continue on in our physicality making every day decisions. There's nothing wrong with that if that's your choice. The second choice is to tap into this energy, focus on it, feel it, experience it and be awed by it, but resist the change it offers. In this choice we talk about the energy, we read about expansion and new opportunities, we consider how life might be, but we don't really "pull it in". We stand in awe and wait for the moon to change us. We drift into "Clematis dreams", but we consider them a different space than our physical awakened reality. There's nothing wrong with that choice as long as you don't expect to really "be" in a different place. The third choice I believe is available to us, is to truly connect with that available energy. It's not about standing in awe or feeling something amazing, it's about working with that force of nature, bringing that energy into your physicality without question, indecision or fear. It is a choice.
Owl's Daughter suggests during the Full Moon in Sagittarius you "let your mood expand and become more adventurous and optimistic". That's a choice.
