That Full Sturgeon Moon Kicked My Trash

8/27/2018

First, some neat August Full Moon tidbits if you are inclined to enjoy that sort of thing, I know I am :)

Second, wow. I just could not sleep last night. At all. I have always had issues sleeping the 3 nights of a full moon but usually I ground myself well and at least get a bit of sleep. Last night, for whatever reason, I just didn't do that. So, now I have all this spazzy lunar energy running around in me and cannot for the life of me focus it LOL I did a great tarot spread for the full moon and it totally showed where I need to focus and how, which is good. A roadmap in fuzzy times is always a great help.

You can see my Ouija: Oracle of the Dead spread here. It's a great spread for getting into what you need to see and how to focus yourself.

And that is kind of it. My brain needs to digest the energy and information and that is going to take some effort right now LOL

Currently Watching: Ghost Adventures
Currently Reading: Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince (again and again and again re-read)
Also Currently Reading: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (also a re-re-re-read)
Currently also loving the slightly cooler temps - I am waiting for you Fall!

Funny you should mention the spazzy lunar energy. This morning I read an article about writing, but it also was about any artist. (I posted in on FB.)

"My students are often asking me, What do you think are the most important qualities for a writer? And one thing I always tells them is that it’s helpful to be willing to sit in a space of uncertainty. There are entire years, especially with novels, where you really don’t know where the project is going. You think it’s going in Direction A, and then you realize Direction A was hideously misguided, so you spend six months backtracking and go down a new path.

"Being able to sit in that space of unfinishedness is so important to the creative process. Writers, and artists more generally, have to have a high threshold for that. You don’t have to be born with it. It’s a capacity you can develop. Temperamentally, I’m not very comfortable sitting in that space of uncertainty, so it’s something I’m always consciously working on—something that being a novelist has demanded. My first two books were collections of short stories, and with stories the composition process is so much more compressed. But my first novel [Find Me] and The Third Hotel were deep morasses of uncertainty that went on for years and years. The process really asks that of you. I learned to get better at sitting in those spaces of unfinishedness."

I am comfortable in spaces of unfinishedness, especially if I'm not sure what, or where, they will be when finished. This moon, and the end of the retrogrades, has me in such a space right now. Some things are over, but what has yet to begin hasn't yet shown its face though I keep thinking about it.

Ok wow.... that is so spot on - thank you! I was never really comfortable with that feeling - until recently- I tended to just barrel through, forcing things to be something they didn't want to be.

I am so glad to see others also in that same space and how they deal with it!
