Good Morning Readers!

I hope your Monday is going well. I am a little bummed about the return of cooler weather this week, but living where I do I should be used to it. This week we will be counting down to the New Moon and the Spring Equinox on the 20th. Until then we remain in the last moon of Winter and as she phases through her fourth and final cycle we are urged to let go and prepare for a new month. The Moon will be void-of-course from 4:02 am to 6:14am when it enters Aquarius.

Lenten Moon

The last full moon of the winter season was also known as the Lenten Moon by settlers the origin possibly deriving from the season of lent.

4th quarter, Waning moon

the Waning Moon is the ideal time for banishing or 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.

Void- of Course: 

When the moon is void-of-course expect the unexpected. This is because the moon will be moving between two different signs. This can lasta few seconds, minutes or hours and it can sometimes last a day or two. When the energy is faulty and unexpected, refrain from making decisions because judgment could be faulty because you would be making a decision when all the factors are not known. Do not sign contracts, shop or promise anything during this time. Dont sweat the small stuff, when the moon is "void-of-course"  it is better to embrace the spontaneity. It can be plenty of fun if you work it right!

Moon in Aquarius:

The moon continuously moves through the twelve signs of the Zodiac, from Aries to Pisces, changing signs every 2-1/2 day, picking up various influences from each of the astrological signs. Good metaphysicians usually take this information into consideration when planning their rituals, as do earth workers (gardeners and farmers.)Aquarius is an Air sign, and so pertains to ideas, concepts and communication. It as relates to the social side of life in terms of the protocol that guides how we interact with each other. Aquarius is also a Fixed sign, which gives qualities of focus, perseverance and endurance.

Good Morning Readers, 

This morning I awoke not to the drone of an alarm or to my teenagers morning nitpicking.. but to the symphony of birdsong. As a little girl, my grandmother and I would wake just before dawn to hear the birds welcome the sun. It was a special time meant just for us and though I am sure she shared this with the other grandchildren given there were around 20 of us. to me the birds  sang just for us on those magical mornings. Today we honor the Crow Moon in honor of my Grandmother. The Crow Moon is a variation of the Worm Moon. Native Americans of the area named the moons in honor of the changing seasons. The Worm Moon or Crow Moon honored the return of the birds as worm casings emerge from the melting ground Early mornings gradually lose the silence of winter as the birds noisily sing for their suppers. Today we enter the 4th quarter phase of the Crow Moon, this  Last Quarter of the  Moon represents a period of reflection and re-evaluation. It is a time when the focus is taken from what has already transpired, and is placed on new ventures and new ideas. There is an inclination to question your beliefs, values, and endeavors and to discard anything that impedes any new, emerging directions in life. The attention is now on achieving an awareness of life’s underlying purpose. The moon also remains in Pisces today, many great artists and dreamers have been born with the Moon in Pisces, and their gifts often seem divinely inspired in some way. For this reason, artistic endeavors  are favored today. Light and Love dear Readers and until tomorrow Blessed Be!

Crow Moon 

The Full Crow Moon also known as the Worm Moon and the Sap Moon. Called the Crow Moon for the cawing crows that signal the end of winter. As the earth thaws worms start to appear. And it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.

As we move to Ostara, the Spring Equinox on March 20th when both day and night are of  equal length we are reminded to find our own inner balance. focus inward toward inner wisdom and self-analysis.

4th Quarter Moon: 

The 4th Quarter of the  Moon  may inspire  strong beliefs that you are inclined to put into action.This call to action may make us  inflexible at times, you usually have enough insight to know when to act and when not to act.

Moon in Pisces: 

The moon in Pisces being a romantic phases of the zodiac inspires us to lift up relationships to an imagined height. It may be hard to see the true nature of a situation beyond the romantic ideal. Yet there is also the opportunity to thrive if encouraged and supported.
