Today is the Festival of Humanity, celebrated during the Full Moon in Sagittarius. The Sabian symbol for this degree of Sagittarius is this: "Cupid knocks at the door of a human heart." This is a Full Moon for lovers!

We as a culture have consigned the ancient wisdom teachings to a museum of the mind as if they were an ancient sword, an obsolete weapon. Now is the time to seize the ancient sword in our own hands, using it to disperse the demons of fear, anger, doubt and uncertainty that beset us.

During this Full Moon Festival, the love of Christ and the wisdom of the Buddha are showered down upon the Earth. Spiritual disciples of all paths and lineages and religions receive inspiration and instructions concerning their roles and duties for the upcoming year.

High in the Himalayas there lies a remote valley, circumscribed by lofty mountain ranges. On the third day prior to the May Full Moon, a slow but steady stream of adepts, high lamas, magi, monks, and seekers travel through a small funnel shaped opening in the mountains.

During Sunday’s Festival of Humanity, the love of Christ and the wisdom of the Buddha are showered down upon the Earth. Spiritual disciples of all paths and lineages and religions around the world receive inspiration and instructions concerning their roles and duties for the upcoming year.

We can say with confidence to all those confronting challenges of all kinds in their lives that NOW is the time to let go of old ways of thinking, old ways of living, old ways of coping with stress, and outdated mental maps of the world. NOW is the time to open up to new inspiration, coming to us at this Festival of Goodwill, for the eclipse is a time of endings and new beginnings.

We all need a break from the Long Emergency. We are in a marathon run, not a sprint. There are no fast fixes to humanity's problems, only long-range solutions will be viable. So let us take the time this Full Moon to be gentle with ourselves and our loved ones.
