It is but a moment every month or so, and each of those monthly moments is in fact always somehow different from any other.<\/p>\n<p>Even when we have another another Taurus Full Moon about this time next year, it will not be at the same time, nor at the same place on the zodiac. Even if another opposition of the luminaries should, in time&#8217;s vast expanse, duplicate both the degree and timing of Sunday&#8217;s Full Moon, it will take place in different aspect to the rest of the planets and during different events here on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, even in the continual periodicity of terrestrial and celestial cycles, there is only one &#8216;always&#8217; (or &#8216;all ways&#8217;, if you will): constant change. You might want to begin your Full Moon meditations now by sensing how you feel about that.<\/p>\n<p>The dominant human paradigms of our time often resist change and give &#8216;always&#8217; a negative connotation. For example, a lot of effort goes into walls that hold back the sea, levees that constrain rivers, and laws that seek to preserve political and economic stasis. A lot of expense goes into buttressing those walls, maintaining those levees and enforcing those laws.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Yet, those efforts always fail, and those expenses are always wasted. Even in the midst of the failure and waste, few see it for what it is. It is the result of a mistake. It is the error of behaving as if (or worse, actually believing) we are separate or somehow exempt from the natural world and universe. It is not necessary, and it is not inevitable to err in this way. Rather, like all mistakes, it is made.<\/p>\n<p>As you might have expected, remaking humanity&#8217;s connection with the Earth and cosmos (and thus saving our butts) begins with you. No pressure, please understand. Indeed it is fortunate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, whatever is made, whether a wall, a levee, a law or mistake, will not always be. Instead of resisting that fact, consider working with it, and making it work for you. The idea is not to duplicate an error when the continual periodicity of cycles returns you to the moment when you are most likely to repeat it. You can do that by emulating Sunday&#8217;s Full Moon.<\/p>\n<p>Do so by knowing that you can be as you have always been, yet still distinguish yourself. You begin with awareness. Be aware of the fact that, at any given moment, your time and place are always somehow different from how they were ever before. Most importantly, be aware of when you are about to repeat a mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The key is to notice the moment before you repeat an error. You can feel it. It is a feeling of having been there before, combined with a sense of exasperation at being there again. Rather than have the exasperation push you into expensive failure, pull yourself back. Once you have mastered catching yourself in that moment, take a look around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inevitably, your surroundings and\/or the quality of the time will somehow be different from when you made the last flub. It will mean you can, and should, make a different outcome inspired by and appropriate to the moment. It may not sound like much, but it&#8217;s huge because a buck always passed will have stopped with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once the buck stops with you, it will feel different. You will feel your place and time as it is. You will sense the exhilaration of being connected to, rather than separate from, everything else. Finally, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to save the world, one person at a time &#8212; with the first person being you.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service (and dedicated to Melanie Reinhart)<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
