THE MOON

The Essence of the Moon

Every 28 days, the moon undergoes a steady progression from darkness to light, and then back again. This celestial phenomenon profoundly impacts our human psyche. It assures us that after periods of emptiness and darkness, there is light waiting for us to be reborn into a new phase. The moon’s influence on Earth’s waters, and consequently on human emotions, mirrors their emergence from or retreat into the unconscious.

The Moon’s Invitation

The moon spends equal time in darkness and sunlight, reminding us of the need for balance. Have you been overly focused on external achievements, productivity, or social engagements? Or have you spent too much time hidden from the outer world, avoiding interaction or exposure? Reflect on the moon’s cycle and let it guide you out of your depths. Allow it to help you balance time for yourself, your feelings, and your essential human and spiritual needs.

The Moon’s Medicine

The moon invites you on a journey of renewal, just as it embarks on every month. This journey can help you break free from specific situations or life in general. To do this, you need to spend time with yourself, free from modern distractions, and courageously confront the unembraced parts of your being until you reach a place of resolution. Shamanic lore suggests that humanity’s finest treasures are hidden where people fear to tread.
