Waning Half Moon in Sagittarius
This is the first ever Crone Moon Musing/Meditation that I'm writing/channeling/dreaming/musing upon in honour of Mama Moon's waning moon cycle.
In this day and age, how do we as women age with courage, pride, sensuality and authenticity intact without selling out to fakery; botox, plastic surgery, nips and tucks?
As a culture we are obsessed with youthful beauty, especially for women.
Who are our aging models, our heroes? Not just women aging gracefully, but courageously. Nominations Please!
I nominate Margaret Atwood for her intelligence, biting wit, lovely wrinkles and wild hair.
Margaret Atwood: born 1939, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
I also nominate Maude from the movie, Harold & Maude for her feistiness in sticking up for what she believes in, plus I wanna caboose just like hers when I'm 79 Maude is played by Ruth Gordon: born Oct. 30, 1896 in Wollaston, Massachusetts, USA.
In summing up the current Moon Month, we have focused upon:
New Moon: Building abundance and identifying our strengths (using the VIA and StrengthsFinder tests.)
Full Moon: Spiraling open to love.
Crone Moon: Aging with pride; flaunting our wrinkles.
What is your #1 Strength? What have you learned about yourself this month and how are you sharing your strengths with the world?
For me: My strength is starting conversations, and asking the hard questions that need to be asked. I find strength in Soul SiStar Power; knowing we are all in this together.
More about the Waning Moon ~ How to tell if the Moon is waning
* Moon on the right, getting bigger every night (waxing).
* When the moon is waning, it is fading to the left until there's no moon remaining.
* DOC: waxing moon forms a "D" and the waning moon forms a "C"
* Important Note: If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, this process is reversed.
A Waning Moon means the Moon is decreasing in size, moving from the Full Moon towards the New Moon. This lasts about 14 days and is a time of release, breaking bad habits and endings. It is a time of deep intuition and a time for divination.
The Waning Moon represents the Goddess in her Crone Aspect and we honour Hecate, Morrigan, Baba Yaga, Sheila na Gig, Sibyl or one of the other Crone Goddesses at this time.
Moon Notes
As the moon orbits the Earth, different parts of it are illuminated by sunlight. When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, it appears entirely dark, and as it moves, more of its surface reflects light, causing the moon to appear to grow in size until it becomes full, entirely illuminated by the sun. When the moon is full, the dark side of the moon is also the far side of the moon, but otherwise the two terms are not interchangeable. As the moon moves out of full, it wanes or dwindles in size until it becomes dark again, and the far side of the moon is the side which is totally illuminated, although we cannot see it.
The confusion between the dark side of the moon and the far side of the moon is common. Many people use the term poetically to describe extreme isolation, in which case "dark" tends to scan better than "far." Astronomers greatly appreciate it when people use the terms correctly, since they do in fact refer to different things.
A Gibbous Moon happens a few days before the Full Moon (technically, the moon is 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the sun.)
The Crescent Moon (occuring between the first and last "quarters" of the moon during the waxing and waning periods) brings with it an energy of growth, change and reorientation.
The word 'Crescent' stems from the etymological root meaning "the growing one" and during the waxing phase of the moon gives us the promise and the anticipation of the full moon which is to come, bringing with it new concepts and ways of being and sometimes struggles and conflicts as we strive to relate to the world in new and different ways.
During the waning phase, the crescent is now inverted (turning Eastward) and symbolizes the final letting go of the seed of the cycle about to end. This can bring about a crisis of consciousness. This is when we need to do consciously what our spirit has accomplished in the unconscious darkness of the new moon phase - we are building a new tomorrow.
