Your year divides, into four quarters…four cor­ners to square this cir­cle of life. At each cor­ner there stands a sign of begin­ning, for each sea­son a start­ing line. At Spring and Fall you find a bal­ance, you poised upon that equinox­al line…where the bright­ness of day meets the dark­ness of night as equals…

But at Win­ter and Sum­mer you find the extreme, you can­not go any further…and you must turn and move towards the oth­er, for there is no oth­er way…You find your­self at a turn­ing and you must acknowl­edge, the cur­rent has turned, the tide will ebb and you must turn too…

Now at this Can­cer moment, at this Burn­ing Bright, this Sum­mer moment that is root­ed in your devo­tion to the per­son­al, to the home, to the fam­i­ly, it is all for your per­son­al pri­vate life. It is pre­cise­ly now that you must turn and acknowl­edge that you are part of some­thing greater too…that you have a duty and respon­si­bil­i­ty to some­thing beyond yourself…because you are part of some­thing greater than just this that is so very close and dear.

So you watch this ris­ing Moon with won­der, you con­sid­er what lies beyond the near at hand, the com­fort­able and familiar…You feel the pull of that larg­er life, the greater sto­ry yet to be told…You must pre­pare your­self, make secure these foun­da­tions upon which you stand…for you will have need of them upon the path ahead…

The Full Moon of Capri­corn reminds you now…

That you must bow your head and bend your knee,

To pre­pare for what is call­ing you now…

For you have your part in a greater work too…

And Win­ter is coming!
