"When the moon is full it is as if the eternal
light of the Great Spirit were upon the whole world."— Black Elk
Every morning Frederic takes a 20-minute walk from our house to the Center. It is early enough to see the moon and the stars in the sky. It is such a glorious sight. He feels humbled as well as energized just by this light in the black of the night.
The moon is Earth's faithful companion on the course of its journey through space. Some look for "The Man in the Moon" while others wax poetic about her as a mother.
Heather Roan Robbins is a writer, ceremonialist and astrologer. This book is filled with beautiful full-color illustrations. She begins with this idea: "The Moon sets the tone of the day. As it shines through [an astrological sign], it colors our emotional milieu and lends us the gifts and strengths of that sign."
With chapters devoted to the moon in each sign, the author skillfully shows ways in which it influences our daily behavior. She moves on to the art of understanding your own moon sign, covering its challenges; primary emotional need; dealing with someone born under the sign, at work, in romance, and in the family; and its special gifts. She ends with a probe of the phases of the moon and its connections with other planets.
