FULL MOON: Saturday May 25'th, 12:25am
This is Full Moon for perception and awareness. Analyze the proper paths to follow. Try not to get caught up in the trivial and unfortunate. It's good to feel challenged, but remember that you must never sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others. Everything must always be an even flow, no matter what the circumstances. You owe that to yourself and to those around you as common spiritually courtesy.
You build me up, you break me down. The test of this moment is very important. How do you cancel out a behavioral pattern that you've grown so accustomed to? It's not as easy as you may think. There's going to be blame, defense, and conflict no matter what angle you look at. The clearest course of action is to realize that we are no longer infantile and we must become the fruitful tree our loved ones see in us.
"All the love you give should be physical as well as emotional."
Things are all shook up and the inconsistencies are plentiful. How will you choose to deal with this conundrum? There are so many different avenues to explore, it's hard to decide which course of action is the best. Put on your spiritual blindfold and walk forward without fear. The intention is the key. You have all that you need to make your life manifest in the ways you deem fit. Care for the abstract and concrete at the same time.
"Everybody's getting crunk, chunk, chocolate chewy gooey."
With first glance, we may think that there are still things amiss, but this is false. The route of the problem isn't always outside of yourself, but within. The managing of others is never easy, but it also isn't necessarily meant for everyone. You do your best, but you also struggle where it counts. Miscommunication is easy when you lack the knowledge of how to be compassionate instead of authoritarian.
"Home is where you want to be, without the means of being able to see."
Reach out to the people whom you have forsaken. What good will it do you to make enemies of friends? Yes, it's true that their life paths and values may not be on point with your own, but that shouldn't be the deciding factor in why you think they are or are not worthy of being in your life. Keep in mind that this spectrum goes vice versa. Even though our youth may be naive, they still have sage-like appearance and intentions.
"Never judge a smurd by its bird-curd."
