Good Morning Readers;

Today is the last day of February, which means we are one month closer to Spring, in theory.March will come in like a lion for many of us here and hopefully leave like a lamb. But for today, the Maple Sugar Moon has crossed over to a Waxing Gibbous in its journey through the night time sky. The moon is in Cancer today until 12:53 pm. so if there is any domestic issues requiring  great communication skills , this morning is the best time to get on it... like talking your teenage son into finding the floor in his room... for example. After that is done, sit back and relax as the moon will be void-of-course until Sunday at 6:34pm when we enter Leo. Then just go right on taking it easy for Leo will draw you into the self .Until tomorrow readers I wish you love  and light. Blessed Be

Maple Sugar Moon:

Legend has it that North America is the back of a turtle and it’s eye is here in New England. If you take a close look at the shell of a turtle you can count out thirteen different plates on its carapace. And every year has thirteen moon cycles that complete the year.

According to Anishinabe legend, this month’s full moon, the 3rd moon, is called the Maple Sugar Moon, the only time of the year sap flows from the maple trees. In the hilltowns of Western Mass it’s the month steam pours out of our area sugar shacks and fresh maple sap is boiled down to make maple syrup. Many sugar shacks invite families to their annual pancake breakfasts during these weeks to enjoy fresh maple syrup and share in the process of making syrup.

Waxing Gibbous Moon:

The Gibbous Moon falls between the quarter and full moon phases. More than half of the moon is visible. As each day the gibbous phase continues, more of the moon is seen in the sky as it nears the full moon phase. This is a time of perceived acceleration as people, animals, things and energy can magnify in their intensity.

Moon in Cancer:

The name derives from Latin, meaning literally, the crab.  The ruler of the fourth sign of the zodiac is the Moon, the Crab, its symbol.  The glyph has varied interpretations.  This is often seen as representing the breasts,indicating the area of the body ruled by Cancer, as well as the fundamental nurturing nature of the sign.  This is also seen as two crab's claws, intertwined in a way which represents the dual nature of the Cancerian personality.  In this form, it would be understood as similar to the Asian Yin and Yang symbol.

The Cancerian character is the most perplexing of the signs.  Cancer can range from the timid, shy, dull and withdrawn to brilliant, friendly and famous.  Cancerians run the entire gamut of human emotion. Fundamentally conservative and home-loving by nature, they appreciate the security of a home-base in which to retire when the stresses of living become too much to bear.

              Don't be downcast, soon the night will come,
                          When we can see the cool moon laughing in secret
                          Over the faint countryside,
                          And we rest, hand in hand.
Void of Course: 

The moon is considered void-of-course as it migrates from one sign to the other. Most feel this is a time to sit back and relax as spells or intentions during this time may not turn out as planned. For those of you like me .. addicted to busyness the moon's voiid-of -course days remind me to sit back and smell the roses. It is a natural time to explore the softer quieter part of lives such as meditation or reading. ws, intertwined in a way which represents the dual nature of the Cancerian personality.  In this form, it would be understood as similar to the Asian Yin and Yang symbol.
