 A Blue Moon only happens, well - once in a Blue Moon! It's not only a beautiful song, or the name of our company, it's also something wonderful that happens infrequently- the second Full Moon occurring within one calendar month.
This Thursday's blue moon is far rarer though, because it's happening right on New Year's Eve - a coincidence that comes to pass only about once in every 20 years. But that is not all-we will end the decade with a partial lunar Eclipse. And if that is not enough, Mercury is in full retrograde and will not go direct until January 15, 2010. Oh,my!
The full moon has always been known as a time of power, & a Blue Moon has even more. Of course, this month there will be an additional twist with the lunar eclipse. This is a powerful time for divination & magick... a time for renewing our connection with our ancestors. It's a time to manifest our dreams. And under Cancer, it is a good time for protective magic. It is a time for renewal and rejuvenation-to look at our lives and create something wondrous. But, as mentioned above, being Mercury is in retrograde, things do move backwards, a signal to us to look behind us as well. Before making your resolutions and setting your goals, take a look at where you've been.
So, on this night we say farewell to 2009 & welcome & bless 2010. Between sharing New Year's kisses, take a look at the moon, She will be at Her most beautiful & magickal.
Wishing you a New Year of peace, health, abundance & joy

"The Blue Moon of December
What is it you will remember
A time of Joy, a time of Sorrow
A new Beginning, a new Tomorrow?
The Blue Moon shines long into the night
Peaceful and familiar a true Cosmic delight.
With my Spirit warmed by Her radiant light
The Blue Moon starts to wane slipping slowly out of sight". |

Moonstone, a sacred stone of the moon goddess,
enhances the power of the moon in ritual & magick. Long associated with women, the gem is thought to protect women & nature, as well as regulating our natural cycle in accordance
with the moons' phases. To further strengthen the power of your moonstone, try putting it outside in the light of the full moon. A perfect stone for working under this full Blue Moon.
