I love the moon very much, don't get me wrong. However when it somes to eclipses especially the full moon kind, I reserve and maintain a certain mixture of being awestruck and jitteriness and this one has been no exception. Existential angst, daily life stress and the inevitability of all that life has to offer is not asuaged by the solar and lunar eclipses. It just is not. Having that mentioned, I will also add that I'm glad this last of the full moon total eclipses for some time, has come and gone. Taking place as it did in the sign of Gemini, I am certain beyond the shadow of a doubt (a pun there?) that most, perhaps all Geminis have felt this one like a son of a gun. I knew this month would be difficult for so many of us, particularly Geminians so I'm glad we are past the eclipse but there's more of the year left to go and the effects of the big eclipses, perhaps all eclipses partial or full, have often far reaching effects. A general note to readers is to try your best to take it easy, which may or may not be possible but it's always good advice that no matter what the stars (and stars and stripes for that matter) bring, if a cool head prevails; we (at the individual level as well as the collective as in the "Occupy" level) will be better off when the planets realign in their usual positions and the dust settles down. Yes, the year is almost out but it holds more surprises. Christmas surprises as well as all the rest, the ones that are of a serious note. Good will, our prayers and love will always help us through, the holidays and all the days we have in this glorious but imperfect world. Happy holidays, dear visitors!
