Many last night witnessed a celestial moment… to think that I was gazing upon the same moon that back in December 21 of 1638 had many awed. Last night – well really, more like at 1: 20 this morning I observed the subtle body of the sun as it began casting a ‘fiery’ shadow over the full moon.
What a gift to be able to see the Full Moon in a fiery glow.Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse 2010; here in Florida we had clear skies, a stargazers dream. It was as if all the stars came to watch. Orion presented itself strong pointing the way to the Big Dipper; then off to the west was the Little Dipper.
Stars and constellations looked so majestic; I could tell there was something special about this morning. I felt as if I were in the presence of ‘Ancient Wisdom’. I intuitively placed myself in His loving grace and felt the Love, Wisdom and Peace flow through me. For the next couple hours I had forgotten the cold 44 degree air that was touching my skin. I was humbled and honored by the celestial experience and the energies moving within the cosmos.
Did you miss it? If you can wait around a few more years, the next one will be on December 21, 2094.
A full lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and moon. The Earth’s shadow prevents the moon from catching any of the sun’s rays, and the moon glows red with only indirect sunlight, refracted off the Earth’s edges.
The picture above by Karen Bleier, AFP/Getty Images taken in Manassas, Va., shows the moon as the total lunar eclipse reaches its peak on Tuesday. It takes more than three hours for the Earth’s shadow to pass over the moon. That’s much slower than a solar eclipse, which typically lasts a few minutes.
Daisy Says: Dance under a fiery full moon and be bathed in Magic.
