At this Full Moon, we line up with the Galactic Center to be full-filled with messages from the cosmos, expanding with Sagittarian enthusiasm. Lest we feel the Moon is blocked from this wonderful time of connection, here's some Science News from Dr. Tony Phillips of NASA that sheds new light on what happens at a Lunar Eclipse:
Imagine yourself standing on a dusty lunar plain looking up at the sky. Overhead hangs Earth, nightside down, completely hiding the sun behind it. The eclipse is underway.

You might expect Earth seen in this way to be utterly dark, but it's not. The rim of the planet is on fire! As you scan your eye around Earth's circumference, you're seeing every sunrise and every sunset in the world, all of them, all at once.
This incredible light beams into the heart of Earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow and transforming the Moon into a great red orb.The image of all the sunrises and sunsets on Earth, shining onto the "eclipsed" Moon completes the network of celestial bodies communicating to us at this time. No one is left out, everyone connects.
Back on Earth, the shadowed Moon paints newly fallen snow with unfamiliar colors--not much luster, but lots of beauty. Enjoy the show.
So it is with us ... whatever our situation this year, wherever we find ourselves this holiday season, this Full Moon Solstice embraces everyone, inviting all of us into a wider, deeper, more comprehensive view of the universe.
This Full Moon comes at a liminal time, the threshold as the Sun stops and turns, the threshold as the Moon turns from waxing to waning, a time when our Sun, Earth and Moon rest in alignment with the center of our galaxy. This is a doorway we can step through, a transformative moment.
We are invited to align with the best in ourselves, clarify our goals and vision, and step through the gate.
