Every month, our moon reaches a point in its elliptical orbit that is its closest point to the Earth. This is called perigee. It happens once an orbit. When it happens when the moon is full, (yes, you guessed it) the popular phraseology is SuperMoon This months SuperMoon is also the closest the moon will be to earth all year. The moon this month is full on Sunday, August 10th at 12:09 PM (just after noon). Perigee is achieved at 11:44 AM (just before noon). So, all of the SuperMoon ish-ness happens in the day time. Less exciting, but still..........Saturday nights moon rise should be a good one. It rises here in Colorado at 7:07 PM. Sundays moonrise occurs at 7:50 PM. The Moon is in Aquarius, a Fixed Air sign, while the Sun remains in Leo, a Fixed Fire sign. Air and Fire ignite and draw each other in (think of the big fires that actually cause those Fire Tornadoes) Leos like the lime-light and need to be the center of attention, while Aquarians look to community and collaboration. They look for truth and equality and the spirit of shared philosophical beliefs. They can also be quietly very very stubborn. With these two powerful energies in force, now is the time to find our authentic selves our true north; not magnetic north where we navigate our lives based on others reactions or try to please and appease others rather than our true selves. This may be difficult. There is comfort in the devil we know (even if it is restrictive, or destructive), and freedom can be scary to one who has grown comfortable with restriction and confinement. Remember: our point of power lies in what we think and do. Own your power. (Kelley Rosano) This is the path to freedom. Choose you. May all beings be blessed. We truly love you all. And dont forget! Put your stones/jewelry out on either Saturday or Sunday nights (or both) to soak up the marvelous, co-operative, self enlightening energies out there this weekend. Namaste Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
