Full Moon Stars by Kim Falconer

The Water Buffalo by Aussicon 4 Guests of Honour Shaun Tan

 July 27 to August 2, 2010

RAM: The full moon highlights your connection to other people and how participation in the group can shape your goals. Would you like to experience something new? If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. ~Moshe Dayan

AUROCHS: The spot light shines again on career, mission and public standing. There is only one question worth asking. Do you love it? Success isn’t the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. ~Albert Schweitzer

TWINS: If you think anything at all during this full moon, think for yourself!  Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. ~Albert Einstein

 COBRA: The light of this moon shows not stumbling blocks scattered around to trip you up but building blocks ready to create a new foundation. Help is also on the way! How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. ~Niels Bohr

 LION:  Relationships are highlighted in this full moon event. It is likely you are going to be looking, seeking, analysing and prognosticating about them in every which way. There is a beautiful revelation in this. What we are looking for is what is looking. ~St. Francis of Assisi
 
CERES: Consider your current reading material. Are your books a light in the darkens? Guides along the way? Books are the engines of change, companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print.” ~Authur Schopenhauer 

BALENCIA: The full moon shines its light on your inclination to go along with the crowd. In a word, reconsider. Such tactics will not show your true beauty to the world. The trouble with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat. ~Lily Tomlin

SCORPION: The full moon is shining on your domestic life. It’s a perfect time to enjoy yourself, no matter what. Remember, your laughter is contagious, in a good way. If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. ~George Bernard Shaw

ARCHER: This full moon could see you in a hot debate with family and friends. You’ll have to decide if you’d rather be real, happy or ‘right’. You’ll have to decide if there is a difference. The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity. ~Zig Ziglar

 SEA-GOAT: It is easy to measure yourself against the past, your own and others’.  Easy, but not so helpful. This full moon throws light on your core values. Have they changed?  Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth. ~Rumi

 WATER-BEARER: The brilliance of the full moon is its ability to shine light on a darkness previously unseen. At first, it can feel shocking, painful or repulsive. But the task is to see and move on. Ask yourself this question: Will this matter a year from now? ~Richard Carlson

 FISHES: The full moon illuminates the less than orderly aspects of life, the cluttered drawers, crazy closets, random shelves and hectic sheds you can’t quite put right, or keep right for long. For now, get okay with the mess.  Chaos is a friend of mine. ~Bob Dylan

      I was googling around, as you do, for images that would tie in with the full moon AND Aussiecon4 :) I thought Shaun Tan would be perfect. Love his work.

      You’ll be there, yes? At Aussiecon? Let’s have coffee Saturday morning! Nat too, and Mary V, and Nichole M, and Glenda L, and Karen M. and Jenny Fallon and Steph and . . . everybody! (Some men too would be fun)
