OK folks, here it is. From my usual source and even on time. Hang on to your hats; keep calm (if possible), and carry on:


Tonight will be the first Full Moon of the year. It is called the Wolf Moon because at this time hungry wolves would howl up to the big bright January Moon outside towns and villages. It is also called the Cold Moon, Winter Moon and the Old Moon.

Tonight's Full Moon will also be a Lunar Eclipse called a Blood as the Moon will turn Blood Red for over an hour. This will happen in the early hours of the morning in North and South America the UK and Europe. In Paganism a Blood Moon opens a gateway into the heavens as the Earth, Sun and Moon align, the earth casts it's shadow over the Moon to make it turn blood red. For a brief moment in time we can commune with the spirit world and other realms.

In Christianity Blood Moons are an omen the Bible says it will be the return of their saviour Jesus Christ. The King James Bible predicts: "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day when the lord cometh and returns" [Joel 2:31]

Tonight's Full Moon will also be a Supermoon. The Supermoon occurs when the Moon is the closest to the earth more than any other time of the year, making the Moon appear up to 30% bigger and brighter than usual. The Supermoon not only affects nature such as the tides and wildlife it also affects us, our emotions will be heightened, our senses will be sharp, things that were hidden or in the shadows can now be seen. A Supermoon amplifies the effects of a normal Moon, we will be feeling ultra sensitive and emotional at this time. We may find ourselves feeling strong emotions we don't even understand, happy and laughing one minute, teary and sad the next, We may experience weird and vivid dreams. Don't worry this will pass, this is the effect of the Supermoon.

The word January came from the Roman name for this month. It was named after the God Janus, who was the God with 2 faces. This was the God of the past and future, beginnings and endings. This Moon is a time of protection and strength for guarding ourselves. While it is the first Full Moon of the calendar year, in terms of nature it occurs in the middle of the cold winter season, a season of death and desolation. In these respects, the Wolf Moon can be seen as a time of both beginnings and endings. We have said goodbye to the old year and are now looking toward the new year in front of us.

This is not a light and casual Full Moon
. It is kicking off 2019 in a big way, with focus on what needs to shift, change, transform, end and be released in our lives. We can use this Full Moon to get clarity on where we are holding on and what we need to let go of. This Full Moon is in the sign of Leo which will give us great strength and courage to meet any new challenges coming our way.

This can be a loony lunar peak, stand by for moments of irrationality or lashing out. Your emotions will be on high alert for a while so watch what you say to people in heated moments. Try to find some time to relax and calm down and to soothe frayed nerves. It may feel hard to make decisions at the moment you may feel you're being pulled in all direction and are not sure which way to turn. Try to stay calm and the right decisions will come to you.

The Leo Full Moon is reminding you to use your feelings to guide your life. What you think and feel matters. Feelings are your indicators in every moment. Feelings don’t lie. Feelings are never right or wrong. Feelings are the best part of you. Your power lies in what you do with your feelings. Watch out for mental obsession, when we worry we focus on what we do not want. Wherever your mind goes energy follows. Focus on what you want to happen, not on what you do not want to happen.

This Full Moon asks us to make a decision, we will feel at a cross road, to stay with the old familiar or to move into the unknown of something new. Try not to go to extremes, it is all about keeping a balance, the fires of Leo may seem out of control now, burning all in their path but they will calm and clear the way so you will feel a clarity and see everything for what it is. This may bring up crisis points but also the potential for major realization. Breakthrough moments and inner or outer shifts in our personal lives, relationships, home/family situations and career or life purpose. We are looking at big changes coming this year, steer the changes in a positive direction. open yourself up and allow love, support and happiness to enter you life.

Use the fire element aspect of Leo to burn away the old stuck and negative energy and cleanse your spirit, let the flames heal you both physically and emotional. Sometimes like a phoenix you have to die a little inside in order to be reborn and rise from the ashes a stronger and wiser you.

Have a blessed Full Moon.

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

Thanks Ursa, it's fascinating.

No wonder I've been having incredible dreams the past two nights!  I'm also a Leo, so could be interesting.  Watch out all MLCers if you have to decide on taking a path - let's hope it's not the path to ow's door ;D

Beautiful moon here last night as it was a clear sky. Not blood red, more tinged at the edges.

We (S13), his cousin, and I saw the beginning of the eclipse, but it was pretty cloudy.  We forgot to go back out and look again after that, but my former Pastor who lives in Utah now got some really good pictures with his scope and cell phone.

I saw the  beginning, a bit of the middle, and the end of the eclipse. There was just a point when the Moon was a little orange. It was quite beautiful. On one side of the house, the Moon shinning again and still dark, on the other side of the house the day rising and Venus and Jupiter close to each other shinning brightly.  :)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but....

In the early morning hours, it is Jupiter and Mars that are closely aligned at this time in the south-east. Saturn is just below the horizon at 07:00 CEDT and Jupiter and Mars are about 3-fingers witdh at arms length away from each other with Mars below and to the right...
