Capricorn Full Moon Meditation – January 2017
This particular full moon presents us with several powerful challenges. We are dealing with what is called a cardinal cross. It is when 4 planets are all in cardinal signs and they form a cross in the sky. These planets are the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Uranus. What this cross is asking of us is to strengthen our patience, to use our intelligence in making decisions, to act in a purposeful way, with discipline and an attitude of cooperation. The energies of this cross can stimulate impulsiveness, rash and thoughtless behavior. Part of this dyna
Happiness For All
What I want – what I’ve always wanted - is simple. I just want everyone around me to be happy. That’s all. This is part of what made walking the Camino so joyful. Julie, my traveling companion, is happy. There’s nothing I need to do to take care of her or to make her happy – she comes that way. And, like me, Julie is also happy when those around her are happy
Finding Joy
I never expected the theme of my time on the Camino to be joy. In fact I was preparing myself for grueling long walks that grew monotonous over the weeks and that would require me to dig deep into my resolve as I battered harsh rainy weather and longed for the comforts of home.

By far the overriding emotion was joy. And the greatest discovery was realizing that I had the capacity to feel that much joy.

Sagittarius Full Moon – Meditation for Expansion
Winter and the Winter Solstice, in particular, is a time that asks us to go within and find a still point there. A point of light. The light may be difficult to find right now, within ourselves or within our world, but this is our task, to hold steady in that light and radiate it outward to a world in need.

To hold steady, to shine our light, to not give in to despair or hopelessness. We are not helpless. We have the power to affect the world situation and we can invoke the energy of Sagittarius to help us.
