The magic of the moon.......

My inclination has always been to lean into all things nature and natural......my earthy Taurus loves it all.....I love sunsets, sunrises, beaches, waterfalls, trees, meadows, flowers, and beautiful views, and especially breathtaking ones......but the moon has become a new love of mine for so many reasons.......there have been jokes for years about nurses and teachers knowing that their is a full moon based on the behavior shown in the people they serve.....and I am sure if I did research there would be facts to support those comical claims:)......and teaching as long as I have, that is indeed true.....and I guess now that I have dove a little deeper in, and began learning about astrology, and more about the moon and its phases, and its impacts on us........... it has taken on more meaning and I understand it better.......the moon during each culmination shifts and moves our lives to the places it needs to be.....and just as it affects the tides in the oceans it affects the stories of our lives....and this one last night was a powerful one.....and I was watching the stories playing out around me in the people I know, and seeing the influence of that energy in people's stories.....as the new moon begins, it sprouts intention in our lives and a cycle, and as the moon cycle takes place that builds, and the full moon is the ending of sorts to that cycle.....either something tangible with a real event in tow, or an ending, or a figurative one.....purging stuff that isn't needed etc....but besides the existential rabbit hole stuff that lies there.....for me:) It is more interesting and fascinating to me that as the energy comes......the moon and all it influences, and the stories we live in, the big moments or the simple ones......the ending of a marriage, and the decision to paint the hallway in my home....which by the way I am today:) All of those things and moments, some seemingly random or small, others massive, all of them can be linked to the energy that is out there....and as I have been more in tune with all of it, it becomes more and more apparent.....and I realize that what I believe is not the belief of others, and that is more than OK:) I guess I write about it from time to time to sort it out further some.....it is so intricate, but also so simple and clear in my mind and articulating it isn't always......having been on the journey I have been, and becoming more aware and conscious of so much, and watching the pieces fall into place, and becoming in tune with the what plays out in my life and in the lives of others....the moon playing a powerful role in that.....and I do not think that any of us can dispute the moon affecting the behavior of people.....that is well documented.....which supports my claim some too lol;-) but what I like best about the moon is simply standing under it, and looking at it.....and realizing how small we are.....and how vast and beautiful this world is.....and feeling grateful and open to whatever the moon brings to me, setting intentions to grow and nurture things in my life and bring them to completion and culmination each cycle like the tides of the ocean:) Happy Saturday!
