I have read so much about the significance of this moon… yet I am slow to rise to the occasion, so I decide to find out more. 

I now know that this is the second full moon within the same month and is known as a Blue Moon. It is also a Super Moon so apparently “it warrants paying attention to”.  But to be honest, there’s so much demanding my attention these days that my attention span is stretched…. Stretched further than my rapidly expanding knicker elastic.  But that’s to do with too many bars of chocolate and is a story for another day. 

This full moon is “a powerful window of closure, release and moving into an empty space, waiting to be filled with something new”. But I’m getting to stage in life where I’m not sure I want too much more that is ‘new’.   I’ve sort of been there done that and worn the t-shirt… all before social media – thanks goodness!  Aside from which, anything new will have to be fitted in during off peak travel times and before darkness falls…. 

I further read “The time requires patience as that something new may not yet be clear or ready to manifest.  We are moving into a time of recapitulation”. (Momentary pause as I double check the meaning of recapitulation, which is: An act or instance of summarising and restating the main points of something.)

Okay so I’ll start the previous paragraph again: “We are moving into a time of recapitulation of the past and an inner process where we reflect on where we have been and where we are going.  Looking over the past can bring up nostalgia and heartfelt gratitude as well as trigger uncomfortable feelings around events and experiences we would rather forget.”  From this it would seem that I’ve been recapitulating over the past umpteen years, most nights any time between 3 and 4.30 am….  

“It is all up for review as we move into the month of September. The Full Moon energies can jump start this process for us by inviting us to allow more space for just “being” instead of the “doing” that many of us spend way too much time in.” 

So, I’m now getting to grips with the Blue Moon , I’ll just focus on ‘being’ as I drink my cuppa.  But there’s more…

“This is also an excellent time to listen to your inner voice, trust your intuition, notice your dreams and acknowledge signs from spirit.” Listen to my inner voice? Which one? There are multiple voices in my head; and they’re not always the kindest with their constant, diverging clamour… 

Finally: “Allow the notion of right timing to be your guide and practice patience especially if the path forward is not yet clear. The set up is in the release, so what needs to go?

I sit back, I am patiently ‘being’, enjoying my cuppa.  As for the Blue Moon, I can’t see her tonight because of the cloudy skies… but I know she’s there, like hope, joy, love and more. So, I’ll be open to possibilities…. But I won’t walk barefoot in the grass… it’s the slugs you see…. Or don’t see….

Sending you oodles of good vibes.
