Good Morning Readers;
The moon and her phases are important to us all, whether it be to track the tides or finding the best time to plant and what to plant to the best times to fish. Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. The tribes kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. There was some variation in the Moon names, but, in general, the same ones were current throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior. European settlers followed that custom and created some of their own names. Since the lunar month is only 29 days long on the average, the full Moon dates shift from year to year. The March moon is known to be the Full Crow Moon. We also separate the phases of the moon. The period between the new moon and the full moon is a Waxing moon, the phase we are in right now. The moon also phases through the astrological signs, this evening is the 2nd night of the Leo moon.
Full Crow Moon:
The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.
Waxing Gibbous
A waxing gibbous moon appears high in the east at sunset. It’s more than half-lighted but less than full.This moon phase comes between one and two weeks after the new moon.The moon has moved in its orbit so that it’s now relatively far from the sun in our sky. A waxing gibbous moon rises during the hours between noon and sunset. It sets in the wee hours after midnight.

Moon in Leo:
Leo Moon likes to be the center of attention… when they are comfortable in the situation. They may do a lot of entertaining at home and they have a great sense of comic timing. Those born with the Moon in Leo are talented organizers and may bring that out to the point of trying to organize and control their friends and family. They want to create and entertain… although they may end up being too lazy to actually put things together as often as they would like. Their natural bossiness helps them be good at delegating chores to others, although deep down they really want to treat others fairly
