I should have paid more attention to my two semesters of Astronomy in college. The best part of that huge lecture class was this really good looking Army Sgt. named Dan Kilgallen who was also taking the class. I wonder where he is these days. I never saw him after those two classes. We did go to lunch a few times and even to a Caps hockey game. I'm sure he was happy that the Caps won the Stanley Cup this year. But I digress.....
Astronomy. Why did I even take Astronomy? I hate science and I hate math. I'm a word girl. But the night sky has always intrigued me. I wish I would have paid more attention all those years ago in college because that info probably would have come in handy with my recent experiences and surrounding energies.
Did ya'll see that moon last night? And that almost orange-ish bright spot diagonal from bottom right of the moon? That was Mars and after August it won't be this bright for another 15 years. This Sunday, August 26, is a full moon. Now, let's get something straight. I think a full moon always gets a bad rap. People (especially those in the medical profession) hate full moons and they think bad things happen and people act like fools. That is not always true. I LOVE a full moon. Yes, the energy of the full moon can definitely be strong and cause some emotional stuff to occur but it's pretty fascinating stuff! The more you know about it, the more you know how to handle and embrace it!
I actually find myself energized by the moon. On nights when the clouds hide the moon, I feel a sense of loss and am borderline depressed. Ever since I moved to the Outer Banks, I have felt this connection to the night sky grow even stronger. Is it because our skyline is free from distraction and
obstruction? Probably. Is it because when I stand up on my top deck, I feel as close as I've ever been to the moon? Of course. Is it because I get my strength from the sun (and my lion)? You bet it is. Is it because I am also grounded by water and live at the ocean now and it's all connected? Absolutely.
For the past three months, I have talked about (ok obsessed about) how we've had a very emotional upheaval of energy with this summer's intense eclipse season and I have felt the effects more than ever. Not just emotional roller coaster feelings but past relationships being brought to the surface and even physical effects like unexplainable headaches, ear ringing, heart palpitations and almost debilitating anxiety and even some panic attacks. It's been some crazy shit! I've been trying to just lay low, meditate, keep my mouth shut (which you know is really difficult) and try to just be in nature as much as possible. Being outside has truly been the only saving and grounding grace for me.
Well, this Sunday with the full moon in Pisces, we are getting rewarded for making it through that miserable eclipse and retrograde season (we had 5 planets acting up at once)! We are going to feel relieved and light enough to start dancing around our kitchen again. Wait, you don't do that? Oh hell yeah, turn on big band music and just glide across that hardwood floor, lovelies! I know I sure am ready! While Pisces will bring the imaginative and romantic nature out in us, the fact that the sun has moved into Virgo (Hey, that's my sign!) will make us organized and efficient. What does that mean really? Manifest your little butts off because dreams are gonna come true with this combo of imagination and structure!!! Oh hell, yeah! That's what I'm talking about it! Bring it! As my favorite, Pat Monahan of Train, sings, "It's not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life!" Let's take advantage of this positive energy and make our dreams start coming true! When we think positive, we attract positive!
The entire summer I have been bogged down and have felt such a weight on me. I've been doing my best to purge everything that doesn't make me happy to make room for the things that do make me happy! I was forced to finally let go of those old habits and past relationship flaws that have created my core wounds. I love to write but I love it even more when I can burn that bitch after I write it. It's amazing how healing it truly is to tell someone off and then burn it with love and forgiveness and be done with them once and for all! I highly recommend it! 
Well, it's time to change our outlook and use this full moon and its creative energy which is going to give us a heightened awareness of our connection to each other and the Divine! Let's use this abundance of unconditional love and acceptance to inspire compassionate acts and creative expression. Choose love!! Who in this world doesn't need that? Embrace its overflowing and then give it right back out to the universe. This is a cycle that we could all get behind!
While Pisces will bring out your light and airy, creative side, Virgo is still going to be there bringing out the planning, organizing and analyzing part of you. So, if it gets a little overwhelming, just take a break. Take a dance break even. Or just go take a walk, take a nap or take in some good music to soothe your soul and relax. Don't worry. This full moon cycle is success oriented and it's going to have everlasting effects so take your time and truly, enjoy every moment!
Pisces is a water sign which means no matter what comes up during the full moon, we will be safe and protected by its beautiful, calming and restorative vibration! I highly recommend that ya'll join me in rejoicing and taking advantage of this time to delve into our spirituality, follow our intuition and activate our creativity! We have definitely earned it this summer!
Until next time, I send you tons of love and light! Now go make those daydreams come true!
