The advance of cold weather gives this Moon its names – Full Cold Moon or Full Long Nights Moon. The longer nights allow the Moon to appear above the horizon for longer periods. Yet, unlike the Sun, the Moon doesn’t warm the earth that is why we can feel at our lowest. Try to look at December as a seesaw, the higher you go up, the farther down you must come to reach earth. Infuse your life with good feelings but practice all things in moderation.
Both the Full Moon and the Lunar Eclipse are here to light the way if you just keep life’s ups and downs in perspective. This is one of the most difficult of Full Moons, for you must believe in and trust in nature and the cycle of living.
This is the last Full Moon before the Winter Solstice. The Moon shines brightly as it reflects the last gasps of the “dying Sun.” After the Winter Solstice the Sun will begin to strengthen but for now the Sun is weak. We experience it’s light for shorter and shorter periods each day.
The red and green colors of the season represent the fire and fertility that seems lacking in nature, however, we know that warmth and abundance will return. We often don cheerful garb and engage in outrageous celebrations (and spending) to ward off the doldrums. Thus, we honor this bleak season with too much vigor. Behind this Sagittarius freedom comes the reckoning of Capricorn. Allow the joy and freedom but use your common sense to keep balance and harmony in your life.
