I was walking home this afternoon as twilight began to fall and I looked up amazed to see the nearly-full Moon hanging heavy in the sky, gleaming perfect and bright just above the rooftops. I had nearly forgotten that tomorrow is a Full Moon and there it was huge and undeniable right in front of me.

This makes me ponder other things I've ignored of late and I wonder what else is looming right in front of me that I simply haven't looked up to see. I think of rituals I've missed and altars I've neglected to assemble and mediations I keep meaning to get around to. I thought the other day about working a spell but wondered why magick would provide for me when I have given it so little lately. What does it mean when our lives leave us without energy to attend to our spiritual practice? It's called practice for a reason. Does faith exist in the face of neglect?

Staring up at that amazing Moon I was struck by its nearness, its beauty, its magnificence. In the clear sky of today's early evening it felt as if the Moon had chosen to appear to me, calling for my attention. The Universe has its ways of getting our attention but sometimes it simply waits for us to notice. It occurs to me that whether I looked up to see it or not, the Moon has been there all along. Perhaps there are other things that have been there all along, just waiting for me too. I feel inspired to reconnect with them.

Without much of instructive value to say about tomorrow's Full Moon, I'll just let Cafe Astrology do the talking:

On Saturday morning, the Moon is full, as the Gemini Moon exactly opposes the Sagittarius Sun. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the "lower mind" and Sagittarius represents the "higher mind". A Gemini Moon encourages us to think logically, while Sagittarius persuades us to think in a far broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the here and now. Gemini is quite comfortable in his or her immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and our sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can't sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
