The October Full Moon: You're Not in Kansas Anymore

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." -Anais Nin

The Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved movies of all time. I won't summarize the whole plot (who hasn't seen it?) as I'm sure you'll remember from the movie that Dorothy has three companions- the scarecrow, the tin man, and the cowardly lion. The four of them make their way along the yellow brick road, defeat the wicked witch, and are rewarded by the great and mighty wizard.

It's a wonderful tale, a great example of the hero's journey, and can be analyzed from many different angles. We could say that Dorothy's three companions represent the pieces of her own psyche (or the collective psyche, i.e. Dorothy as everyman) that need to be healed - ignorance, apathy, and fear.

This month the full moon is in Aries- the sign of courage, taking risks, and proving oneself. It sounds a lot like what the cowardly lion was searching for. The cowardly lion believed his fear made him inadequate. He was always whimpering and imagining himself as king of the beasts, but felt he missed the mark somehow.

When the lion finally meets the wizard he is presented with a medal to prove his courage. The medal is just a talisman - an object that seemingly possesses some magical power- that helps the lion believe he has gained the courage he (thought he) previously lacked.

Courage doesn't mean "fearless." Courage means acting in the face of fear, or in spite of it.

The Astrology of the Full Moon

The new moon beginning this cycle was in Virgo and I wrote about taking the time to be prepared for upcoming opportunities. Now that we're prepared and we have our own medal or talisman- perhaps in the form of a plan, a skill, or new attitude - we're ready to face our fears and reach for the opportunities that await us.
