We are asking for love donations at this time during our online church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times.  We are not meeting in person so can't pass around the offering plate to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid:  partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to the national organization, to name a few.

Monday January 17 Full Wolf Moon
Peak illumination 6:51 PM EST

Photo by InspiredImages on Pixabay

It’s the first Full Moon of 2022, and it falls in the watery, intuitive sign of Cancer. The Moon loves to be in the sign of Cancer, it is where it feels most at home, and each of us can tap into this harmonious energy during this window of time.
The Full Moon peaks on January 17, but typically we can feel the Full Moon about four days before it arrives. It is during this time that we can tap into the build-up of its energy, then as the Full Moon wanes we can begin to settle into the energies and whatever has arrived.
Full Moons are a time of release and letting go, and we are going to have to give this some extra consideration under the Cancer Full Moon. There may be a heaviness in the air which means we have to take conscious effort to shake off all that feels suffocating or dis-empowering.
The reason for this is the planet Pluto, which is hovering close to the Full Moon, exerting its influence on the sensitive lunar energies. Pluto is the planet of power, so our attention may be drawn to the power dynamics in our lives, where we feel the most powerful and even where we feel the most powerless.
Sometimes Pluto’s influence can make us feel stifled or that we are under the thumb in some way. It can exacerbate any pressure we are feeling, particularly in our relationships.  More to read at:

UPDATE: Returning to UUFSB: Because of the rapid rise of Covid-19 on Long Island, especially with the omicron variant, the Board of Summerland Church has decided to suspend all in-person activities at UUFSB in East Setauket, including services and classes, until conditions improve and are deemed safer.  The in-person service scheduled for Jan. 15 will now be strictly on Zoom. We will keep you posted. Please be safe and patient.
