Opening Pandora's Box

The full moon last weekend stirred our longing for "Right Relations." In other words, we've all been called to look at what needs to be straightened out and cleaned up in our relationships. Where do you need to renegotiate contracts - written, spoken, or unspoken?
 
This weekend at the third quarter moon, we've got our hands on the lid of Pandora's Box, wondering what we should do. At this moment in time, we're facing our collective fears: "There's a reason I/we kept that hidden in a box all these years! Life would be a complete mess if I/we opened up that box now!" But open it we will - likely at the New Moon on April 3rd.
 
The current third quarter moon has us poised above the box, feeling the call to emotional wholeness. We're contemplating putting things in order: our relationships, our health, our finances. As we come into right relations we begin to feel expansion. And we're envisioning the new kinds of structures that will help support, hold, and guide this expansion we're feeling.
 
There's a lot of dynamic tension holding the lid of that box in place. The tension has to do with how tangled and complex the issues have become over time. Once the box is open and you go through the painstaking process of addressing each one of the little treasures (read “sticky issues”) that has piled up in there, the tension gradually dissipates, releasing a lot of creative energy that will make life way more fun!
