Sun and Moon are the complementing opposing forces in life, the eternal dance of the male and the female. Sun is giving us life by radiating the life force we all depend on and Moon is magnetically taking the energy in and reflecting it. You can tell by the powerful ebb and tides of the oceans how influential the Moon is in "just reflecting".

Moon in astrology reflects consciousness evolving through our internal process of feelings and guides us intuitively - through our gut feelings. Emotions are often vague and hidden from the light of consciousness. It might take a while to float up to conscious recognition and acknowledgment. Moon is the archetypal mother, called Mahina in Hawaii, the inner or outer woman, nourishing us in her unique way of being.

Each New Moon provides us with the beginning of a new cycle, a clean slate to start from. There is a little magic in these turning points of the New Moon and the Full Moon as there is in the Solstice and the Equinox. These are universal rhythms which remind me of our breathing. When we breathe in we supply the body with fresh oxygen and life force, then there is a moment of stillness before we breathe out, releasing the old and stagnant, then another still point and the cycle resumes.

For me astrology is just a wonderful way to find my place in these magnificent universal cycles and gain understanding in how to apply the wisdom found within it. There is the short cycle of the Moon waxing and waning in 28 days through the archetypal zodiac. And there is the longer cycle of the Sun moving through the 12 astrological signs throughout the year. Each station in a different sign is describing a specific universal quality available in that moment in time.

A Full Moon is receiving the full light radiance from the Sun and gives you a chance to become deeply conscious of usually more hidden areas in your lives. A Full Moon is a magical time and turning point before the fullness starts loosing force moving towards the next New Moon.
