For those of you who saw someone at Woodlands giving out flyers, yes, that person is me. I looked a bit ill at ease, as it was my first time giving out flyers. I was only there for one hour, but I'm exhausted.
According to 万年历 Wan Nian Li, the Mid Autumn Festival falls on 6th of October. The Western calculation places it more accurately on 7th of October. At exactly 12pm noon (Singapore time), the Moon will be exactly opposite the Sun @ 14 Aries. It will be an aggressive Moon. The Sun @ 14 Libra is also suited for romance.
This may mean nothing for casual followers who are just looking forward to eating mooncakes. For those who are practising lunar energy, we need to know what the Moon signifies. We already know that she takes precedence after autumn equinox. At full moon, her energy will be magnified further. Yes, I use 'her' as she exhibits feminine traits.
The Moon has traits that are similar to Venus, just as the Sun has traits similar to Mars. So during this period, all suitable activities will be related to the emotions, romance, relationships, universal peace, love, introversion, spiritual pursuits, & surprisingly wealth. Do note that the kind of wealth the Moon rules is not the kind you earn over the stock market, cryptocurrency or games of chance. This can happen but only because of other planetary influences. The Moon rules over savings, the money you already own. It represents the conventional way of gaining wealth - slowly and steadily. For those looking for quick 'wins', instead of the Moon, you should consider either Mars or Mercury or both.
During this period, you may consider starting a humanitarian initiative or a love project, something that you pursue with great interest or passion. Take note of any intuitive 'flashes' you may have at this moment - you may be surprised that acting on them will result in success.
Why do the ancient Chinese celebrate this festival by burning lanterns? Because it's beautiful, but not only that. The lantern is a symbolic representation of our own selves, of how we must learn to shine more brightly as darkness descends and the Sun takes backstage. The Moon is only a faint reflection of the Sun, and we learn to face & integrate our shadow selves, the parts of ourselves we don't like or are uncomfortable with. We must trust in our own inner light to navigate through these dark times ahead, not just personally but as a country & planet.
