This month’s Full Moon falls in the sign of Virgo, reminding us of the importance of being particular, precise and thoughtful in our imagining the new world.  We are co-creating from the ground up, so we have both the privilege and the responsibility to be discerning. We lay the scaffolding for all to follow in the future.  We are the leading edge, the pioneers of the new world to come…both an honor and a huge responsibility.
