Yogi's Horoscope for Supermoon Full Lunar Eclipse in Sagattarius: The Little Black Dress of Surrender. Ojai, California: May 26, 2021

Prayers, stretchy pants, and a little black dress are my travel companions.

Unexpectedly-ish, I left Maui to be with my husband for his hip surgery. He's needed repair for years, and a series of events led us down the road to do it now. It feels like this is the mood generated by living in the flow of life these days. If not one day at a time, it's damn close. Advance planning is an overrated concept. Living in the now, for real, is the new black.

Presence is a classic yoga teaching, as is Chanel’s little black dress. It's dependable, it's versatile. It always feels good. While I've surrendered a thousand times in my fashion life in favor of the uncomplicated LBD classic, today I find my suitcases overflowing with recently purchased pieces of California-wear in addition to my Maui style wardrobe I brought with me. Thank goodness I packed a little black dress, because that’s what I’ve been wearing when I absolutely have to ditch my yoga stretchy pants for something more presentable. All the other things I’m packing, really, are just excess.

What in the world does any of this have to do with this full moon?

The act of surrender is like a little black dress, in that, it always works. While I’m into a myriad of feel good methods, yoga, walks in nature, laughing with friends, essential oils, meditation apps, fresh squeezed juices, and yes, shopping for tye-dye cashmere sweaters, all of which are wonderful, if I just drop all the accouterments and slip into to the little black dress of surrender, I’m closer to immediate relief from …myself.

Full moons bestow us with the opportunity to grow our awareness and our lives because literally, more light is available. I can see clothes hanging out of shopping bags as this full moon in Sagittarius, hauntingly, pours light in my bedroom window. The moon is the closest it ever comes to Earth this year. It’s called a Supermoon and she’s sure here to teach me about surrender because in the quiet middle of the night I realize what I really want has very little do to with the contents of my closet.

This spectacular and potent moon peaked at 4:13 PT Wednesday, May 26, in a glorious total lunar eclipse. She downloaded intense transformative energy. Depending on, well, so many things, how you will feel and work with this energy is entirely personal.

“As within so without. As above, so below. As the universe, so the soul”, say star sages, and it is useful to understand that eclipses come in seasons, with 2-3 eclipses in 6 months. This season we will be blessed with two full eclipses. Such cosmic precision that aligns the Sun, Moon and Earth is a reminder to get clear about our own versions of the little black dress. How can we show up in all occasions of our life? Bigger and brighter doesn’t necessarily mean sequins and spaghetti straps.

The light of the full moon fills us with internal illumination and expands our capacity for bliss, but also provides the possibility of slipping into our black dress and letting the rest go…for good and for real. Dismantling our own unnecessary baggage is the only way to create lasting change and this Super Blood Full Moon Eclipse, I mean, wow, is powerful to do just that. We get a direct hit from the Moon.

There are three things that cannot be long hidden, says Buddha. “The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth”. I think this is as wise and stable as my ever-dependable little black dress.

Shine on.
