Birthday Moon! - September 2025

There was a full moon on my birthday this year. 64!

I can't remember the last time there was a full moon on September 7, but according to my blog it was close enough in 2009. Full moons occur around this date on a cycle of roughly 18 to 19 years. So, maybe I will be on the planet the next time this happens, and maybe I won't. Yikes! When put so bluntly. 

So far I'm 832 moons old and deeply grateful for each.

While googling I found a Hindu tradition, Sahasra Purna Chandrodayam, that celebrates a person's 1000th full moon, a significant milestone equivalent to about 81 years, as a mark of spiritual strength and liberation. 

The moon itself is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. I'm a blink in comparison.
