More Moon Blessings
12/03/23
Nobody warns you that when you become an astrologer you’ll most likely end up setting your alarm for very weird hours of the night just so you can catch the best election. I started studying Electional Astrology with Chris Brennan in July and recently felt I knew enough to have a stab at electing a time for an important milestone in my business. I wanted do do The Thing at some point within a 2.5-month window and went through the many complex steps required to find some good options. I settled on one that I felt pretty good about and, for fun, checked to see which day and time Chris & Leisa had picked for the Electional Astrology Report for the month in question. I couldn’t believe it when I found that my election was just a few minutes off from theirs – what a result!
When the auspicious night rolled around I crept out of bed at 1:55am and sat in my robe at my computer, saying a few prayers and making my intentions as clear and heartfelt as I could with the level of consciousness I had available to me at that hour. Then, when the stars were literally aligned, I clicked the pertinent box and The Thing was done.
Feeling a bit too antsy to go right back to bed I wandered around the house for a bit and, remembering that my election had the Moon up in the tenth house, craned my neck to look up through the skylight and see if the night was clear enough for me to see her. It was quite cloudy but sure enough there was a bright glow in one area and, as I gazed up, a little patch of blue emerged in the clouds around the glow and there she was. I gasped a little: it continues to thrill me to do my nerdy calculations in the theoretical realm of apps and screens, and then go to the actual sky and see things right where they’re supposed to be. Thank you once again Luna, for blessing me and my path as I stand quietly in my dark house gazing at the sky.
