solsticefullmoonlunareclipse...sun arrives at the Galactic Center

Overnight tonight there is a full moon, a total lunar eclipse, and the winter solstice. Apparently this is a celestial event that has not happened for 456 years.

Taken separately, each event is a pretty big deal, at least for me.

*Full moons sometimes pull emotional stuff out of me that I did not realize I was holding onto (translation: an emotional Chakra Girl). Sometimes they pull stuff out that I am intentionally holding onto...and this type of letting go is much harder. I am usually left feeling drained...and always feeling relieved.

*lunar eclipses usually mean that the forces acting for my own healing are simply not going to bother waiting for me to decide to let go. This means I either sob it out or it is released quietly and all I feel is lighter. Most of the time - maybe because long ago I learned how cleansing a good sob can feel - it comes out in a strong, but brief, crying session.

Of course, these emotionally draining events do not happen with each moon cycle (~29.5 days or so in each cycle). Thank god. For me it seems to happen every few months - sometimes with the change of the seasons, sometimes not.

*Winter solstice. So many people feel sad when the holiday season is over...winter can be long for us solar-powered humans. But winter, for me, is a time to start celebrating - not only is it rest time but the days start to get longer again!

One other thing I heard about this event was that our sun is going to be at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (the 'home' of the sun - also referred to as it's 'birth canal'). Previously I thought this was only going to be happening on December 21, 2012...the end of the Long Count of the Mayan Calendar. It seems to me this is the beginning of the two-year countdown to the end of the Long Count.

So now I can either launch myself into researching all this (trying to be a source for people wanting more info) OR I can do what I believe I am meant to as Chakra Girl...I can tell you how this is affecting me, personally, in my human experience and what I intend to do about it.
