Twelve Full Moons from sun­set until sunrise,

To illu­mi­nate your path of des­tiny each and every year.

To show you each les­son you are here to master,

And to illus­trate the way you must become the answer too.

The Full Moon in Capri­corn, (The Sun in Can­cer, the Moon in Capri­corn) is per­haps the most sig­nif­i­cant and pre­cious of these pair­ings of para­dox­i­cal truth. For in this realm of man­i­fes­ta­tion, upon this beau­ti­ful Earth, you will and must walk the “path­way of oppo­si­tion” as you seek the inte­gral way. The world of dual­i­ty is your real­i­ty, and all that is expe­ri­enced and known by you will come inex­orably bound to and informed by its opposite.

Whether at the most sub­lime lev­els of Being ver­sus non-Being, Ener­gy ver­sus Form, or Thought ver­sus Mat­ter, the pro­found yet sim­ple of Light ver­sus Dark, or Hot ver­sus Cold…all these can only exist with and through the oth­er. Every-Thing, Every-Ener­gy is found­ed, formed and expressed in rela­tion­ship to each other…and, of course, to all oth­er dual­i­ties too.

The Full Moon is a spe­cial moment, a time of and for Rev­e­la­tion. The Sun is now in the Zodi­a­cal Sign Can­cer, stream­ing the ener­gy-forms of truth about your ori­gins: You are a pre­cious par­ti­cle from the One; you are a spark of Divine Light that went forth in a great stream of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it who togeth­er form the Mind, Love and Will of the One who encom­pass­es you. Though you may in your jour­ney only iden­ti­fy or find your root or ori­gins in your imme­di­ate fam­i­ly, or your eth­nic group…you will even­tu­al­ly awak­en to the greater real­i­ties of belong­ing and becom­ing what you are through your cul­ture, through your com­mon human­i­ty with all humans, and ulti­mate­ly arrive to become a ful­ly self-aware, con­scious co-cre­ator of Cre­ation. You will come to under­stand and live in the pre­cious space (Nir­vana) where the illu­sion of sep­a­ra­tion is bro­ken, and you will live by the Love where you are all for one and know the One for us all.

The Moon ris­es in Capri­corn, the oppo­site ener­gy-form to Can­cer. As Can­cer is the Seed, Capri­corn is the Fruit; it is the promise kept and now met, it is the reward of your Self-Ful­fill­ment and brings the test of Respon­si­bil­i­ty. The germ that was plant­ed in Can­cer is said to find its ulti­mate real­iza­tion in the sign of Capri­corn. What was just a hope or idea has become a real­i­ty: a hob­by has turned into a career, a busi­ness has become an enter­prise. The spon­ta­neous respons­es to human needs have become insti­tu­tion­al­ized into the var­i­ous instru­ments found in the mod­ern world: into gov­ern­ment, busi­ness­es, reli­gions, etc. What was only a dream has now become Real­i­ty. Your feel­ings for one anoth­er, your car­ing for one anoth­er has made the real­i­ty that is your very self-fulfillment.

But equal­ly too, this Full Moon is the Rev­e­la­tion which offers the mean­ing for the test of Capri­corn, the Test of Respon­si­bil­i­ty. For as much as you find your expe­ri­ence of respon­si­bil­i­ty root­ed and found­ed upon the care of a par­ent for their child, and then of broth­er to broth­er or to sis­ter, of aunt and uncle and all oth­er kin­folk. So too does this awe­some test of respon­si­bil­i­ty expand as your aware­ness grows to encom­pass all these “fam­i­lies” to which you belong: to neigh­bor and to vil­lage, to com­mu­ni­ty and to your cul­ture, to your state and nation, and even­tu­al­ly the entire­ty of your pre­cious world of won­der called Earth.

Yes, final­ly you come to the know­ing that we are each respon­si­ble for and to one another…for you are insep­a­ra­ble from one anoth­er in the life of the One. As it is said by many before who became aligned to this know­ing in and by the One, “‘Tru­ly I tell you, what­ev­er you did for one of the least of these broth­ers and sis­ters of mine, you did for me”.

And equal­ly, what­ev­er you do to anoth­er, you do this to yourself…for the one before you is your broth­er, your sis­ter, your moth­er and your father…just like you, there is no dif­fer­ence. “We are all relat­ed”, and you are here to learn to love one anoth­er as such, to love the oth­er as much as you love yourself.

There is noth­ing so sim­ple to under­stand or so hard to per­fect­ly prac­tice… but it is the only path.

It is the Path of Truth.

It is the Truth of Love.

It is quite sim­ply, “the way”.

Watch the Sun set; See the Moon rise…

And take good care of one another.
