Good Morning Readers;

Spring remains in the air in the Midwest, even though those of us born and raised here have a deep appreciation for the fickleness of the Gaia at this time of year. We remain for now in the third and final moon of Winter known by some Neopagans as the Death Moon.  The phase of the moon reflects the coming renewal as well, the 4th quarter moon, ande final phase of the moon symbolizing the need to release and make room for the coming New Moon which heralds  the Spring Equinox. The astrological of today's moon mirrors this spirit as we remain in the spirit of prioritization common with the Moon in Capricorn. Light and Love  anCapricorn is considered a passive earth sign, therefore  during this time we will foster a sense of well-being  when engaged in activities that give you a sense of self-respect.Light and Love: d Blessed Be

Death Moon: 

While research this article this morning attempting to find a bit of new and relevant information for you, I came across a reference to the March moon as the Death Moon. Further research into the Death Moon of March left me with only vague and general references as to the meaning of this particular reference. The closest theory I found related to the Triple Goddess archetype. It is my  feeling  that March was referred as the Death Moon in honor of the death and renewal of the Crone mirroring the death and renewal of the planet in Spring. 

“As Goddess of the Underworld she was concerned with Birth, Procreation and Death. As Goddess of the Earth she was concerned with the three season of Spring, Summer and Winter: she animated trees and plants and ruled all living creatures. As Goddess of the Sky she was the Moon, in her three phases of New Moon, Full Moon, and Waning Moon. […] As the New Moon or Spring she was a girl; as the Full Moon or Summer she was woman; as the Old Moon or Winter she was hag.” 

The White Goddess, Robert Graves 

4th Quarter Moon:

The Waning Moon is the ideal time for releasing things. The New Moon is also known as the "Dark Moon" (also known as the “Black Moon.") This is the time of greatest power for banishing negativity and releasing yourself from all that binds you. Before focusing on our intentions of the next cycle.

The lunar phase is important in determining the optimal time to perform certain actions, for the most satisfactory result. This time-honored information has been utilized for centuries by not only farmers and gardeners, but Metaphysicians and Magicians as well. Particular signs are more beneficial for certain purposes, I have also found that for each task there is an opportune time. Noting the astrological phase of the moon has made me more aware and mindful to this.

The moon in Capricorn lends power to our natural sense of order. Capricorn is called the sign of the manager, which is a reflection of Capricorn’s desire and natural ability to manage; to get the job done and take care of what needs to be taken care of. Capricorn tends to assessing  our current reality and prioritizing tasks.Capricorn is a passive earth sign, therefore   we can receive a sense of well-being and self-respect through order.
