Today is the third day of the Christmas Novena, a Catholic ritual of a prayer recited or sung during the nine days leading up to Christmas Day.
and tonight is the Full Moon! The full moon of December is sometimes called the Cold Moon (for obvious reasons), but it is also called the "Not Bad Weather Moon" by the Kalapuya of my area, and that's generally pretty accurate.
We are now at the peak of the strong-energy yang phase of the waxing moon, and will soon begin the quiet-energy yin time of the waning moon. But today it's time to CELEBRATE how far I've come, and give thanks for the lessons learned and the blessings received.
The full moon is a time of fruitfulness, creativity, and completion, and also strong (sometimes overwhelming) emotion. This month I am in mourning, but I am also experiencing many moments of joy, and I want to acknowledge and embrace the whole spectrum of my emotions.
Agenda:
1. Read a novena
2. Journal queries
3. Celebrate Joy
3. Celebrate Joy
4. Write about a rosy future
