For All Signs

The full moon is upon us., How do I know this, aside from taking my nose out of my navel and looking up in the sky? My black cat, “Amos” is acting like an idiot. This is a very powerful fool moon if he’s already bouncing around like he’s been on a three-day-nip-bender. It’s in Cancer, so its power is going to be pure and undiluted, uncut Moon funk, coming atcha through the roof of your mind. It’s going to be sheer lunacy this weekend–trust me. But it won’t be all bad–just make sure that if you do go nuts, that you’ve signed some sort of waiver or are with friends that are deeply complicit in your desire to emancipate yourself from the mundane, emotional landscape that you have been trudging through for the last 21 lifetimes. This is your moon my friend.

I have a net pen pal, one of the best astrologers you’ve probably never heard of, Linda Hill, author of 360 Degrees Of Wisdom, the most modern, up-to-date, authoritative treatise of The Sabian Symbols. Linda sent out her email regarding this moon and I have to give her some love. Here is what she says about this full moon:

“This full Moon is a very interesting one. Not only is it in Cancer, which is the sign the Moon rules (it speaks of home and family and emotions and mother and sense and sensibilities), but it has some very interesting Sabian Symbols illuminating it. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is Cancer 22: A Woman Awaiting a Sailboat. ‘How much of a human life is lost in waiting?’ Ralph Waldo Emerson. This Sabian Symbol is so much about waiting, but not only waiting, awaiting, it’s also about dreaming, wishing, often in a wistful kind of manner; the ‘Woman’ may be looking out to sea, staring out a window or staring into space. Regardless, she’s waiting for something, perhaps that special person who’ll change her life, that job, that special vocation, that windfall of good luck, that gust of wind at her back to push her forward. Gazing into the future, she looks out– ‘things will be alright when….’ So there is a wistful madness to this full moon. Indulge, dissolve and cultivate a sense of expectancy, the titillated state of waiting.

Let’s look at the full moon for the rest of you loonies.
