    Oh! Amazing! Will it be visible here? Would you like to have friends around for your birthday? Let me know soon and I can try to get off from work that day.

      o, aren’t you wonderful, but i don’t think i’ll be able to have company that day. i guess we’ll just have to coordinate our moon gazing.

    a full moon/lunar eclipse on my birthday?
    It was actually planned specifically for my birthday. 😛
    I think it’s a wonderful celestial gift. There will be some splendid energy to work with. *wink*

        the only thing i’ve been able to think up is to build a small fire in the chiminea outside and offer up my intentions for the year. i just have to figure out what my intentions are and then hope the weather allows for a fire and good viewing. the other thing would be to make moon/eclipse water, but that too would depend on visibility and such.

    How cool is that? And happy birthday too.
    The last time there was a lunar eclipse that we could see in this area, we heard coyotes howl.
    Hmm. A shadow on the moon–sounds like a good time to contemplate our shadow selves, the dark side (not evil, just dark). Or if the dark side doesn’t appeal, how about the balance created as earth, moon and sun align?
