Full Lotus Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Lotus Moon (Chinese) at 11* Sagittarius will culminate, June 2, 2015 9:21pm PST/12:21pm EST/0:21am China (Farmers Almanac). 

This Sagittarius Full Moon is all about looking for contentment, no more fragmentation in your environment. Make good choices and settle your mind, settle your stomach. You have been given opportunities to learn, stop allowing trite misconceptions, deception and unloving beings into your personal sphere. You have been given these opportunities many times to alleviate your suffering. It is not a time to carelessly fling what doesn’t serve you aside, only its time to make the necessary boundary. As you now must take a high road and not the low road. The philosophy of an awakened mind is to be mindful, to learn from your mistakes, to not judge harshly, to elevate your vibration of existence. Take time to study new things and to gain expertise. You gain great wisdom through thoughtfulness, always treat others with grace. 

Goodness is when we become conscious of our greater self. When we extend ourselves we become much more in our lives. We all know what bad is…what immoral is…what unhappiness is…so when we ‘cast our will’ to start living an authentic life, we become present to our innate good will – not only to others but to our own self. 

The first step of living an authentic life is using your intuition – Know it, Feel it, See it and Hear it…

Its nice to think we can remove all the masks and rip away The facade as those fakey moments, those moments of inner upset when we squelch who we really are… We want to be accepted as our self. You are not the only one, many people hold back. Some people don’t allow others to know the real them. That shouldn’t be any of us…time for a real and amazing life. Step it up, the universe is asking us to be brighter and centered.
