Dedication

New moon in sidereal Aquarius
Spirit de la Lune: new beginnings

It's that time again to attempt to follow the keywords for UU Lent. Dedication = 8 pentacles. This card happens to be my birth card. I guess the message is that I need to dedicate myself to myself. Time for self-care.

Friendship Moon

On the Friendship Moon, we hang out with our friends. You can sit around and talk about what what friendship means to you and society but it's probably a lot more fun just to spend time with people you like and care about. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera

Rebel's Moon

Geb's Day
Het-Hert 8


1st Quarter in sidereal Aquarius

On the Rebel Moon, we take social structures to task. This is the best time of all for activism. Even if there is no cause that makes you burn or that you'd burn for, there is certain to be some injustice that you would like to see cleared away, and no matter what it is, other people are probably already working for that. Put your back, not just your words or money into the cause. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

I miss my cousin. And by cousin I mean a close family friend. She's JW and can't (won't) speak to me because of the religion. She used to always watch my kids. She has kids of her own that I don't even know.

I miss my sister-girl, my kids' godmother. Hopefully she will be here in the States for our high school reunion. I went to see her in Denmark this summer. We sat and chilled and had a good ol' time. We talk via Facebook and call each other occasionally due to the long distance charges. She's the type of friend that I can call after months and we will pick right up like we just chatted yesterday.

I miss my sister. We used to karaoke all time. She's not baptized but she won't friend me on Facebook because of all her more important JW friends.

Thank goodness for the Internet. I've met lots of folk that I wish I could meet in person. Witchy folk, exJW folk, techie folk, Trekkie folk, Buddhist folk. Nice to have people that understand what you are going through. The 'net has also opened me up to different viewpoints. I associate with folk that I would be forbidden to if I were still JW.

Tell me about your best friend or your circle of friends.

Waning Gibbous in sidereal Aquarius

On the Apostle's Moon, we think about what gives us hope. We wish on stars. If we have no hope, we go in search of it. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.
