Tonight's Full Moon, besides being at its highest until 2023, is also a reminder of our ancestors' understanding of the cosmos.
This is a follow-up to an earlier posting about the Snow Moon.
"This Gemini Full Moon is the 13th Full Moon in the year, if we begin counting from December Solstice 2004 to December Solstice 2005.* The Gemini Full Moon reminds us to not to take ourselves too seriously while also creatively finding ways to have fun. If what you are doing is not fun, is there a way to make it fun, or is it time to do something else that is more creative?
"In addition, the Moon is setting tonight and tomorrow night [Dec. 15/16, 2005] near its 19-year maximum extreme. This means the Moon will rise and set about 5 degrees beyond the bounds of where the Sun rises and sets at the Solstices.
"This is called the Major Lunar Standstill, and it was an event so significant that many ancient cultures built structures to track this cycle. Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, Chimney Rock in Colorado, Fishlake Valley [scroll down page] in Nevada, Callanish in Scotland, and the Temple of the Moon at Lake Titicaca are just a few sites around the world where people tracked this important event.

"If you are near a site that marks Solstice sunrise or sunset, then this is [or was, at this point] a good time to be there to witness the rising Full Moon near the galactic anti-center, or the place where we look into deep space. This is where the June Solstice is currently aligned along the Galactic Plane, signaling a grand shifting of the ages."
"We are in a rare time that can only happen every 13,000 years when the Moon is going through its Lunar Extreme and rising on the Galactic Plane. It would have been nearly 26,000 years ago when Earth experienced the Lunar Standstill in the configuration happening now. So in that sense, we will experience the rarest possible [seasonal] Blue Moon phenomenon in 2006. This is truly worthy of our consideration when we remember that our conscious participation with these events helps to inform the unfolding mysteries as much as they are informing us."
