The Moon
weed out from our lives that which we have found, of
this experience, to be no use or value. It is a time for
constructive elimination and release. It is often referred
to as 'seed time' and it is here we keep or take to heart
the seed or kernel of the experience we had at the full of
the moon. We are drawing to a close—both that
experience and the entire cycle for that month. We are
approaching another New Moon and the start of a new
cycle and impulse.
Since we are dealing with a cycle or circle, there is no
real beginning or end. All circles or cycles are endless
or eternal (eternally repeating). The lunar cycle (phases
of the Moon) is something we can learn to use. After we
read about and become aware of the different parts of
this cycle, we can begin to observe it happening around
us. The lunar cycle described above in theory, is seldom
experienced in such clarity in everyday life. Over time,
we recognize parts of the cycle and learn to use them.
We might find it hard to push or begin projects during
the Fourth Quarter, particularly in the three days or so
just before a New Moon; this is, however, a good time to
finish up a project, or to clean up loose odds and ends
of business—to draw things to a close. We could find
that get-togethers, parties, and social events seem to
come off well around or just before the Full Moon. We
learn to take advantage of the qualities and
opportunities of each section of the moon cycle; what’s
more, we don't have to wait to begin, since we are
already—right now—in that cycle. What we develop,
then, is an awareness of the Moon cycle.
