Leo Full Moon - Resistance is Futile
Feb 6th, 2012 by rebekahshaman
I love the old Zen story of good news, bad news, the one where the old farmer loses his only horse, which then returns with 10 wild ones. Unfortunately, his only son breaks his leg taming them, but a few days later soldiers enrol all able-bodied men for the army! We can all see this ebb and flow in our own lives, when we stop blaming and doubting.
Last week I experienced a flow of good news then bad news that turned out perfectly. I was very proud of myself because by Wednesday I had finished writing my Leo Full Moon Lunascope and it was ready to send out. On Thursday afternoon I hit the mail test button, and nothing happened. The mail did not send. I started to feel a bit nervous, so I contacted my IT guy to find out what had happened. However, he seemed to have disappeared and as the day rolled on and into Friday and then Friday night, I had a bad feeling!
By Saturday afternoon, I called my friend who is also doing some IT work for me. This friend has been adamant I switch to Mailchimp for my newsletter but I had been resisting! I had become accustomed to my newsletter, it was basic and clunky but I felt safe with it. Switching to Mailchimp was like swapping a worn-out ford fiesta for a spanking new Audi TT, and I wasn’t sure I was ready for such a huge jump.
But with my IT guy vanished, and no-one able to fix the problem, I had no choice but to switch from my old system to Mailchimp, in order to get the Lunascope out in time for the Full Moon.
Despite all my resistances, Life has insisted that I use Mailchimp, enabling me to spread my message out to a much larger audience by connecting me to twitter and facebook.
The most amazing part of it is that it happened over this Leo Full Moon, the Moon that pushes us beyond our fears and vulnerabilities so that we can shine and spread our messages. Resistance is futile in a Dragon year and sometimes you just have to let go of the edge and trust the River of Life is taking you to the destination…it’s all happening perfectly!!!
Enjoy the Ride!!
