So what’s the big deal about the cycles of the moon anyway? What is its deeper significance? In the esoteric philosophy we attempt to inquire into the realm of meaning. We study the nature of the soul, of consciousness as a way to enhance our spiritual evolution. By honoring the new moon and the full moon each month we become active, conscious participants in our own unfolding.
In the esoteric philosophy it is understood that constellations and planets are the bodies of highly evolved Beings, planetary and solar gods, so to speak. As such they transmit energies. Each month the sun enters a different constellation and as the time of the full moon approaches the energies become more intense. At the exact moment of the full moon there is an alignment that takes place. An electromagnetic ray of golden light links the sun, moon, the earth and the constellation. This alignment is like a doorway to the spiritual realms, a portal that opens allowing the energies of the planets, rays, and the constellation to descend. As energetic beings we are recipients of this down pouring so we feel the impact whether consciously or unconsciously. How the energies affect us is dependent on the level of consciousness we embody. Are we solely identified with our personalities? If so, then that’s where the impact will be felt. Our ego selves will be stimulated. If we have some measure of Soul infusion the energies will stimulate those qualities of the Soul that we embody and our consciousness will expand and evolve. Who of us wouldn’t like to live more from our Higher Selves? As we work each month in a conscious way those Soul qualities become embedded in our auras and we expand our consciousness and take an active role in our own spiritual evolution. In this way we can also serve more effectively as we use those energies to help uplift humanity.
Full Moon in Cancer and Lunar Eclipse 2019
The Sun entered the sign of Cancer on June 21, the day of the summer solstice. At the time of the full moon on July 16, we also have a partial lunar eclipse at 11:55 am (PDT). The exact moment of the full moon occurs a few hours later at 2:38 pm. Any time we refer to “lunar” we are talking about the emotional body. It’s the moon, the past, the Mother principle. The moon stimulates our sensitivities and as it controls the tides in the oceans it also impacts our mood swings, our feeling nature. We are called then to be mindful
