The Wind Moon’s a-Coming

I woke up at zero-ass-thirty this morning to the sound of the lamp on my nightstand blowing over, because I like to sleep with my windows open, but I live in the Midwest, so this time of year we get a lot of blustery gustery breezes in the wee hours. This being April, the upcoming full moon is pretty aptly named — it’s the Wind Moon, and it rolls in on the 19th.

Now is a good time to explore the winds that blow from each of the cardinal directions. For instance, the North Wind is associated with cold, destruction, and change–and not always the good kind of change. If you’ve got some bad stuff looming on the horizon, now’s the time to work through it. The South Wind, in contrast, is connected to warmth and the element of fire; it’s a destroyer, but it also creates, so if there is a passion that you’ve lost in your life–whether it’s romantic or something else–work on doing what you need to do to rebuild it. The winds of the East are often associated with new beginnings; in particular, focus on new careers, education, or other aspects of your life that are related to communication and your intellect. Finally, the West Wind is tied to the cleansing and healing powers of water, so if you need to get rid of things that are causing you heartache or pain, let the wind blow them right out of your life.
