The Refinements of Gibbous

Have you heard about the Full moon tomorrow? Are you feeling the Gibbous Wobble? The shifting emphasis of activity upsets the sense of balance. Fortunately, the Gibbous phase allows some time for adjustment and encourages the inner child to come out and play.

My work with the moon phases has taught me that the Gibbous period is geared to revision. The original inspiration for creating a blog came from my desire to keep my journal on the computer and organized, so that I could easily refer to previous entries and link to related materials.

I envisioned it as a specialized journal for tracking my work with the moon phases. Something, though, that could be shared with our ZodiacArts.com readers; an illustration of our work in practice. Something that might eventually be the basis of an interactive on-line Moon Phase Study Group.

But, what about my other journals? Do I open a blog for each one? A spiritual blog. A mandala blog. A travel blog. An astrology blog. A whimsical blog. A philosophical blog. Or maybe, my challenge and reward is to finally combine them all. Relax.

Folow the lessons of Gibbous. Resist the urge to be judgemental. Set self-criticism aside. Filter and analyse. Look for common themes. Refine the vision.

This is where the play comes in. Take all the components and create a new image.
