Ah…. A Blue Moon, it sounds so romantic, so magical…. :)

The term Blue Moon relates to a 2nd full moon in the same month, and they usually happen every 2.5 years and 2012’s ‘blue moon’ occurs in the sign of Pisces: Compassion and Deception…
This may indicate a pull towards more compassionate subjects, situations or people.
You are advised to be careful when making commitments of a seemingly compassionate nature, research into the subject is recommended.
You are also advised to be aware of people/situations who may seem “too good to be true” as it may be easy to deceive and be deceived during this time.
It is said that a Full Moon is a good time to end projects, to put away things no longer needed… to let go, so as to allow room for growth… personal growth, spiritual growth, financial growth, relationship growth and physical growth.
It sounds really good, and it would be fabulous if we could just say poof and all our worries, misfortunes etc could be taken away…. However, it’s easier said then done…. but it doesn’t hurt to try and make things better, it doesn’t hurt to help ourselves believe that things can get better, it doesn’t hurt to allow ourselves to get in touch with nature and our inner selves all the while consciously understanding the need to eliminate, to let go and trying our best to do so…
I am not an expert on rituals by any means, but I have read some stuff, and I have listened to others and at times I have been honoured to witness and take part in such…. With this in mind I would like to share with you a “ritual” (a way to connect) relating to the Full Moon and letting go…. I sense that any intention given out this night will be stronger because of the “Blue Moon” :)
Before the evening begins, write down all the Things/people/emotions you would like to have removed from you and your mind….
This could be Things such as the old chair, not no longer can serve”: People such as a teacher, boss, neighbour etc who no longer helps you to grow, but instead may hinder you: And Emotions such as Jealousy, Envy, Anger, Hate, Selfishness:
Be honest with yourself, and write with Good Intentions Only... this means that nothing you wish to rid yourself of will have a negative effect on someone or something else. You cannot wish someone harm or bad will just to please yourself or to fill your own agenda…
Get comfy for the evening, have a shower or a bath if needed and find comfy clothes to wear…
As the evening draws near, find a place outside you are comfortable with, get yourself a lighter or a match and an ash tray or other heat safe holder.
Grab a drink and your list and relax until darkness falls and the moon appears, if you can see the Moon look towards it…. Appreciate her, she is beautiful and represents all of our emotions….welcome the positive traits of the Pisces moon inward, feel compassion for all living things…
Breath in for a count of four.. hold for a count of four and then breath out for a count of four… do this several times, until you feel you body relaxing, beginning at your toes and moving all the way up to the top of your head…. breath... relax... feel the compassion.… breath… relax... feel the compassion….
When you are ready, take the paper on which you have written down what you want to get rid of…. take your lighter or match and hold both over the ashtray or heat-resistant surface…..
Pray or “speak with spirit”… ask for guidance, say thank you, and something like… “
“Spirit, I ask that you help me in getting rid of those things, people or emotions that can no longer assist me with my growth. I wish no harm to come to anyone connected to cleaning..”
Then light the paper and let it fall into the ashtray to burn out….
You have now informed the Universe of what it is you don’t want….
It may be wise to end your “ritual” by saying…
” I wish to practice Gratitude, and I ask that any space now opened for growth be filled with love and light also”
:) Then just relax and let Spirit and Universe take care of the rest…
It is likely some stuff/people will remain, and if they do remember it is also likely that either you or they have either 1) a Karmic Debt to repay or 2) A lesson is still needed to be learnt… :)
Enjoy your evening everyone… no matter what you believe… as it’s sure to be a beautiful one…. Peace….
