Good Morning Readers:
 The Quickening Moon hints of a Spring to come.. even if we may not be lucky enough to feel it just yet the days are getting longer. The Waning Moon readies itself for a new New Moon on the 18th. Additionally, the moon will be void-of-course from 3:17pm to 7:13pm when it enters Aquarius. Aquarius' influence is a rebellious, energetic one so embrace your personal freedom today. Today is a great time to focus on breaking habits or making abrupt changes given the Waning Phase in Aquarius. Today is also a great day for planting those seedlings .Until tomorrow dear readers light and love. 

Quickening Moon:
The Moons Energy is in purification, growth, healing, loving the self, accepting responsibility for past errors, forgiving yourself, and making future plans. This is a good time to focus your magick on home, hearth and family.Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, some native tribes often called February’s full moon the Snow Moon, The tribes that used Snow Moon for the January moon called this moon the Hunger Moon, as the food supply was often low and harsh winter conditions made hunting difficult this time of year.
Waning Moon:
A waning crescent moon is sometimes called an old moon. It’s seen in the east before dawn.
Now the moon has moved nearly entirely around in its orbit of Earth, as measured from one new moon to the next.
because the moon is nearly on a line with the Earth and sun again, the day hemisphere of the moon is facing mostly away from us once more. We see only a slender fraction of the moon’s day side: a crescent moon.
Each morning before dawn, because the moon is moving eastward in orbit around Earth, the moon appears closer to the sunrise glare. We see less and less of the moon’s day side, and thus the crescent in the east before dawn appears thinner each day.The moon, as always, is rising in the east day after day. But most people won’t see this moon phase unless they get up early. When the sun comes up, and the sky grows brighter, the waning crescent moon fades. Now the moon is so near the Earth/sun line that the sun’s glare is drowning this slim moon from view.Still, the waning crescent is up there, nearly all day long, moving ahead of the sun across the sky’s dome. It sets in the west several hours or less before sunset.
Aquarius: 
Aquarius is the 11th Sign of the Zodiac (also known as the Water Bearer), which tends to be very sensitive and can easily get hurt by criticism. You may be surrounded by lots of people, but actually you have very few good friends. If you stay grounded, you can be good at communications. You enjoy the company of people who are on the same wavelength. You are frank and avoid frequent changes, but when people try to take advantage of your nature, you can get quite upset. And when someone hurts or cheats you, you can nurture feelings of revenge for a long time. You prefer your personal life to be peaceful. You rarely get emotionally attached to your relationships. People get attracted by your wit and intelligence. You tend to learn fast. You are inquisitive and take interest in everything around you, which tends to divide your concentration.
Planting Days 
Planting by the Moon is a great way to help plan your above and below ground crops.
  • Plant flowers and vegetables that bear crops above ground during the light, or waxing, of the Moon: from the day the Moon is new to the day it is full.
  • Plant flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear crops below ground during the dark, or waning, of the Moon: from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again.
Old-time farmers swear that this practice results in larger, tastier harvest.
Void-of-Course:
Every couple of days there comes a time which is best used for subjective, spiritual non-material concerns, like prayer, yoga, play, psychotherapy, or passive experience, sleep or meditation.
"This period may last a few seconds, or it may be three days and nights in a single session. "It begins when the Moon in transit makes the last major aspect it will make before it changes from one sign of the zodiac to the next. It ends when the Moon enters the next sign. The name of this period is Void of Course Moon. You may call it a silly season, or vacation from normal living.
 "Decision making in such periods turns out later to be unrealistic. Creativity diverges into unpleasant directions, improvisations, false starts, error. Business moves fail to generate profits, or meet unexpected difficulties. If you buy any object it usually fails of its intended use. "Human judgment is more fallible than usual during the time the Moon is Void of Course. This is the principle factor in all observed experience thus far.
"Routine proceeds readily, but often requires an adjustment later. Defects or shortages come to light. Delay and frustration are commonly experienced while the Moon is Void of Course. "Neurotic tendencies, bad habits are more open to change. ESP experiments show odd results.

Good Morning Readers! 
Happy Valentines Day! Today the Quickening Moon remains in the waning cycle, The moon will be void-of-course from 10:15 am to 5:24pm when we enter Capricorn just in time for your Valentines Day plans. The Quickening Moon reminds us that the days are getting longer, and hopefully warmer, as Spring is just around the corner. Our Waning Moon encourages us to let go as we draw near to the New Moon and new beginnings. The Moon in Capricorn will give its influence and strength to encourage structure and traditions.Now is a great time to set boundaries in your life or establish rules in relation to your responsibilities and obligations.

Quickening Moon:
The Quickening Moon or Snow Moon or Hunger Moon  are  traditional names for the full moon that occurs in February in North America. Usually this month is a time for snow and cold air temperatures, and this is the reason for the name snow moon. Storm moon, hunger moon, Little Famine moon, and Full Bony moon are other traditional names for this particular full moon.Hunting becomes very difficult, and so some Native American tribes called this the Hunger Moon.Other Native American tribes called this Moon the "Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire Moon" (Wishram Native Americans), the "No Snow in the Trails Moon" (Zuni Native Americans), and the "Bone Moon" (Cherokee Native Americans). The Bone Moon meant that there was so little food that people gnawed on bones and ate bone marrow soup.
Waning Moon:
The waning moon is the period time between the three days of the full moon and the three days of the dark moon, the counter balance to the waxing phase. The waning phase is the time for pruning and harvesting growth in our garden, be it physical or spiritual. This phase is the time for banishing those unwanted "things" in our lives, be it the nuisance boyfriend/lover or some bad habit we've developed. The crone shows us the way to the land of the dead during this time of the month. By taking her hand and accepting that some things must die, we are able to grow spiritually
Void-of-course:
Each sign  of the moon is similar to  a chapter in the book of  your life, and moving through it the Moon is telling a story. When the Moon enters the next sign, it starts a new story. We still remember the old one, but we are not deeply involved in it anymore. Whether we notice it or not, each time the Moon enters the next Sign of the Zodiac, something substantially changes in our life some context or the emotional background of events. Most of the time, we aren't aware of this change because the Moon is strongly connected to our subconsciousness, not to our consciousness. It is the subconsciousness who is deeply aware of the change.
So in each of the signs the Moon starts a new story when it enters the sign, but those stories can have different lengths. Some of them continue for almost the whole two-and-a-half-day period, others are much shorter, but always there is a pause at the end of the story. It can be short or long, but it is always there.That pause at the end of the story is the void-of-course period of the Moon.
Capricorn:
The Goat" - Third earth sign in the Zodiac
Ambition, reputation, and status are Capricorn's main concerns. Planets here take on a conservative hue and are expressed in a plan geared towards control and management.Wisdom and steadfast reality provide Capricorn with the ability to make steady progress over the long haul. This a no-nonsense kind of sign, earthy, practical, sensible, materialistic and often ambitious. Capricorn people are good problem solvers  and crisis handlers, inclined to find solutions to problems rather than cry over spilled milk. People born under this sign have a capacity to develop skill in whatever field they chose to undertake.

Good Friday Readers: 
Today the Quickening Moon of February remains in it's Waning Cycle. with the influence of Sagittarius. Our Quickening Moon reminds us that Spring is one the way, no matter what we may see outside. The Waning Phase of the Moon reminds us to let go and release making room for a new cycle with the coming New Moon. Sagittarrius is an active sign favoring growth and expansion. Today you may feel a little more cheerful and energized so weather permitting try to get outside, or if stuck inside behind the snow and ice as myself, do something today to embrace phase of the Waning Moon and get started on some indoor cleaning projects. Today would be a great day to go through the closets and donate items to your local thrift store. Today is also a Harvest day so if you would like to harvest you indoor herb garden today is the day. Light and love dear readers and I'll see you tomorrow. 

Quickening Moon:
.The Romans for whom the name originates considered February the shortest and last month of the year. February originates from the word Februum which means purification. It may also originate from the name of the Goddess Juno Februa a goddess of love, passion, fertility and marriage as well as from the God Februss a god of the dead and of purification. Februalia was a month long festival based on purification, cleansing, and clearing away of the old. It was times to atone for any wrongdoings, to pray, mediate and make offerings to the Gods. During Februalia grain and salt were scattered about the house and pine boughs were used to sweep the floors clean. You may wish to continue this tradition with a thorough house cleaning, clean not only the physical but the astral, use an herbal based flour wash with sea salt to cleanse. Open the shutters and blinds and let the growing sunlight and air circulate. Leave a lemon cut in half in every room of the house with the intent that it may remove/absorb any negativity .When the lemon begins to dry, brown or rot, it has served its purpose and you may dispose of it. Now, is a good time to go through your clothes, pantry and other area and donate what is not wanted or necessary to charity. Also, it is a good time to go through the pantry and medicine cabinet and through your herbs, oils and natural remedies and dispose or recycle any that are too old and to make a list of ingredients you need to pick up.
Waning Moon: 
The waning moon is the period time between the three days of the full moon and the three days of the dark moon, the counter balance to the waxing phase. The waning phase is the time for pruning and harvesting growth in our garden, be it physical or spiritual. This phase is the time for banishing those unwanted "things" in our lives, be it the nuisance boy-friend/lover or some bad habit we've developed. The crone shows us the way to the land of the dead during this time of the month. By taking her hand and accepting that some things must die, we are able to grow spiritually.
Sagittarrius: 
When the Moon resides in Sagittarius sign, we all subconsciously become Sagittarius. Optimism, vitality, generosity, good intention, striving for protection intensify, as well as desire for philosophy, expansion of horizon or just a desire for a walk somewhere.These days are favorable for studying, work, teaching, and also expansion of the area of interest, for all, that is connected with distant travel and foreign countries.All activities, connected with sport, outdoor recreation, traveling, excursion, reading are perspective.

Good Morning Readers,
Today, we remain in the Waning Cycle of the Quickening Moon. The Moon was void-of-course from 12:32 am until 11:46 am when we enter  the sign of Sagittarius.
The Waning Cycle lends power to the act of release while the Quickening Moon hints to the coming of Spring. Today's Moon in Sagittarius urges toward athletic activities. Sagittarius influence is one of cheerful energy so don't be surprised if you  find yourself  craving an invigorating walk outdoors, weather permitting, of course. Today is also a prime harvest day so it may be a great day to commune with nature in the form of harvesting your indoor herb garden.




Quickening Moon: 
The Quickening Moon is also known as the Snow Moon or the Bone Moon to the Cherokee.  It is considered the last moon of winter. The "Quickening" can be felt in the pregnant animals whose babies are due in springtime.  It is a time when the Earth reminds us that she is still alive underneath all of that snow.If we are lucky we may even find evidence of it as the first shoots of grass may be seen.

Waning Moon:
The Waning Moon  is the  moon  any time after full moon and before he the new moon (so called because its illuminated area is decreasing).Because the moon is nearly on a line with the Earth and sun again, the day hemisphere of the moon is facing mostly away from us once more. We see only a slender fraction of the moon’s day side: a crescent moon.
Each morning before dawn, because the moon is moving eastward in orbit around Earth, the moon appears closer to the sunrise glare. We see less and less of the moon’s day side, and thus the crescent in the east before dawn appears thinner each day.The moon, as always, is rising in the east day after day. But most people won’t see this moon phase unless they get up early. When the sun comes up, and the sky grows brighter, the waning crescent moon fades. Now the moon is so near the Earth/sun line that the sun’s glare is drowning this slim moon from view.Still, the waning crescent is up there, nearly all day long, moving ahead of the sun across the sky’s dome. It sets in the west several hours or less before sunset.

Sagittarius:
Sagittarius Moon is happy-go-lucky and free-spirited… as long as they aren't cooped up. They need space and personal freedom to be happy. They love to be physically active. Travel, sports, socializing… it doesn't matter what it is as long as it is active. When the moon is in Sagittarius you may crave  open spaces and athletic endeavors.

Good Morning Readers,
Today, we continue in the Waning Cycle of the Quickening Moon, with the moon entering Virgo at 2:05 am. The Waning Moon urges us to let go of negative things such as feelings, or habits and the Quickening Moon reminds that Spring is coming, even if you find yourself  buried under ice this morning. Virgo favors accomplishment of details especially those concerning our health or hygiene. Daily schedules are blessed by Virgo so today is a good time to start a new goal concerning your health. Today also is a planting day so if you didn't get your seeds started on Imbolic, like myself, today is the day! Light and love dear readers and I'll see you tomorrow.

Quickening Moon:
The full moon in February is known as the Quickening moon, it marks the official end of winter, and the quickening, the renewal of all things. While the skies are still gray, and the weather is cold, beneath the surface life begins to secretly stir. This moon phase is a time of abundance, ripening and completeness, heavy with fertility and female divinity. It is a time when the potential of all things begins to stir towards birth in spring, a time to work on our own inner power and confront personal truths in preparation for birth. This moon sheds enough light to help us see into our darkness so that our energy can make its way to the surface to prepare for growth and healing.This is the season of Imbolc, the days when we know that if we can just hold on for a few more weeks, we might get lucky and see little green shoots peeking out through the snow and slush.

Waning Moon:
The waning moon is the period during which the moon goes from full to dark once again. Like the waxing moon phase, it lasts approximately two weeks. In many traditions of Wicca and Paganism, this time of the month is used to do "baneful" magic -- that which sends away, gets rid of or destroys things you no longer wish to be burdened by. Some examples would include:
Magic to eliminate negative or toxic people from your life
Workings to smoothly end a relationship or job
Rituals that banish bad habits
Any magic related to reducing things, such as debt, illness, etc.
Virgo:
The lunar nature, when it's expressed through Virgo, seeks purification, well-being, and order.But this goes beyond exercising to include things like solitary walks to clear the mind, and time spent writing in a journal. Ideally, they’ll refine their day so that the mind, body and spirit end up feeling refreshed.

Planting Days:
Gardening by the phases of the moon is a technique that can speed the germination of your seeds by working with the forces of nature.
Plants respond to the same gravitational pull of tides that affect the oceans, which alternately stimulates root and leaf growth. Seeds sprout more quickly, plants grow vigorously and at an optimum rate, harvests are larger and they don't go to seed as fast. This method has been practiced by many for hundreds of years and is a perfect compliment to organic gardening.

Good Monday Readers! 
This morning we remain in the Waning Phase of the Quickening Moon. Today the moon is void-of-course as of 6:58 am. until Tuesday at 2:05 am when we will enter Scorpio. 
The Quickening Moon urges us to make ready while the Waning Phase of the Moon asks us to release and let go. Even if you are like me this morning watching the snow come down outside my window... Spring is coming ... in its own time. We are called to make ready for the changing of the seasons. We may want to start some spring cleaning, make an appointment to get the car serviced or tune up the lawn mower. If your gardener, like myself, you may be pouring over seed catalogs and planning the garden. In fact, tomorrow is a planting day so you may want to get out those seeds and get to work. Today we are void- of- course so it may not be the best time to actually start these projects but we can certainly start thinking about it. 
Quickening Moon:
February's moon is also  called the Snow Moon because usually the heaviest snows fall in February.
Hunting was  very difficult at this time  so some Native American tribes called this the Hunger Moon.
Other Native American tribes called this Moon the "Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire Moon" (Wishram Native Americans), the "No Snow in the Trails Moon" (Zuni Native Americans), and the "Bone Moon" (Cherokee Native Americans). The Bone Moon meant that there was so little food that people gnawed on bones and ate bone marrow soup. Even though, February may find us knee deep in the snow of winter it is still a time to get ready as Winter holds onto it's last few moments. 
Waning Moon:
 This is when the moon appears to be "decreasing" in size; what this really means is that illumination of the moon is decreasing until it is entirely shadowed. One way in which to differentiate the Waning Moon as opposed to the Waxing Moon is to cup your left hand till it makes a shape like: ( This is the shape of the Waning Moon. If the moon fits in this curve, you know it is getting smaller every day, going to the New Moon / Dark Moon.
Void-of-Course: 
The Moon makes a complete circle through the twelve signs every 28.5 days and spends approximately 2.5 days in each sign.There is a time, however, when this connection is interrupted and we "float" between signs. This is the time we call the void-of-course Moon. It starts after the Moon has made its last major aspect  to the Sun or planets and is still within the sign until it enters the next sign.The commonly held belief  is that action is unproductive during this time. Llewellyn’s astrological calendar says that people are "fuzzy – or vague – scattered even" and that "action initiated during this time is often wasted, irrelevant, or incorrect." This may or may not be the case for you, however, most believe it is wise to avoid starting a project during this time.

Good Morning Readers:

Good Morning Readers:

Today we continue in the Waning Cycle of the Quickening Moon. The Quickening Moon reminds us to make ready for the coming spring. The Waning cycle of the moon gives power to us in the act of release, a time to banish old habits and move one.

Today the moon is void-of-course until 1:44 pm when it enters Libra. Libra’s social nature favors social activities, friendship, and cooperation.  So for today dear readers take full advantage of the moon cycle today, sleep in till noon, have a long brunch and then go out and have some fun!

Quickening Moon:

The Quickening Moon moon is also known as the Snow Moon, Ice Moon, Hunger Moon, and Cleansing Moon.  Native American tribes of the north and the east called it the snow moon as it use to be the time that the greatest amount of snowfall came. The name Hunger moon refers to the difficulty to gather food this time of year. The Celts called it the Moon of Ice. This moon represents the coming of spring.  It’s the time when the seeds start stirring to life under the cold ground.  The farmers start planning crops for their gardens. The animals will start to feel their young in their belly’s as they are readying for their spring births.  The long sleepy winter is finally ending and the earth is in it’s early awakening to the longer days in the warmth of the sun.
Waning Moon:
The Waning moon is a traditionally a time for study, meditations and magical work designed to banish harmful energies. This is the time in our moon cycle to release and let go, making ready for the coming New Moon and a renewal of goals and ideals. The Waning Moon reminds us to let go, and release so that we may have room for new blessings.
Void-of- Course: (v/c)
As the moon moves from sign to sign there is a time in whic the last aspect and the entrance of the Moon into the next sign itt is said to be void-of-course. Projects began in this time will lack the governing influence of a sign and may turn out differently then planned. I personally see Void-of-Course as a resting time between one signs influence to the other. For those of you who need balance in your lives, like me, this will be a perfect reminder to take it easy.
Moon in Libra:
Libra is a sign of cooperation. It is a social sign favoring friendship and companionship. It is the sign that urges us to cooperation, and compromise, favoring harmony. Libra urges us to find to balance between the inner self and the outer self. Libra in the sign which urges us to interact with others. Many people when focused on their goals, neglect the relationships in our lives. Libra calls us to find a balance between the inner and the outer.

 Good Morning Readers:

  February's Quickening Moon speaks to us of the coming Spring while the Waning Moon urges us to let go, to cleanse or to leave behind old issues.The Moon will be in Virgo until 5:09 pm when it becomes Void-of-Course until 1:44 pm when it will enter Libra. Virgo's influence favors detail-oriented tasks such as making schedules especially  in matters of health or hygiene




Quickening Moon:
The Quicking Moon so named for the feeling of expectation as life waits for the coming Spring. In fact, he most common explanation is that is comes from the Old Irish i mbolc (Modern Irish i mbolg), meaning "in the belly", and refers to the pregnancy of ewes. This is pronounced Another possible origin is the Old Irish imb-fholc, "to wash/cleanse oneself", referring to i-molk or i-molg. a ritual cleansing. Eric P. Hamp derives it from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning both "milk" and "cleansing". Professor Alan Ward derives it from the Proto-Celtic *embibolgon, "budding". The 10th century Cormac's Glossary derives it from oimelc, "ewe milk", but many scholars see this as a folk etymology. Nevertheless, some Neopagans have adopted Oimelc as a name for the festival.

Waning Moon: 

The Waning Moon is a time for study, meditation, and magical work designed to banish harmful energies. 

Moon in Virgo

Virgo (♍) is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Virgo is the second-largest constellation. It spans the 150-180th degree of the zodiac, between 152.75 and 180 degree of celestial longitude. The symbol of the maiden is based on Astraea. She was the last immortal to abandon earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus - hence the sign's association with earth.

Void-of-Course: 
As the moon moves from one sign to another it is considered Void-of-Course. Projects started at this time will lack a directive influence and rarely come to the end we expected. 

Moon in Libra: 

Libra favors cooperation, compromise, social activities, balance, friendship, and partnership.

Good Morning! 
Today we enter the waning cycle of The Quickening Moon. Our Quickening Moon  urge us to "make ready." This is a time of getting ready for the Spring. The Waning Moon asks us to focus on letting go or cleansing ourselves and home. 
The moon entering Virgo at 12:46am lends energy to detail oriented activities until Friday at 5:09pm.
So, it may be a great time to look over your daily schedules, or better yet make a plan concerning a health-oriented goal. It would also be a great day to get started on that Spring cleaning. 





Quickening Moon: 

The Quickening Moon of February is so named for the feeling of expectation resonating through the earth and it's beasts at this time. The word Quickening is drawn from the quickening of the animals. Heavy with child at this time they make ready for their young. The Earth is quickening as well. As the days get long it warms the ground tiny seeds prepare to bud. 



Waning Moon:

The Waning Moon urges us to let go. This the time between the Full Moon and the New Moon. We have seen our energy grow and be fulfilled on the Full Moon. This is the downward slope of our Lunar Cycle. It is a time to cleanse to clear away and to make space for the goals and intentions of the New Moon. The Waning Moons spirit of release makes this a perfect time for to leave behind old patterns or problems and open yourself to new solutions.

Moon in Virgo

The moon in Virgo will favor detail oriented activities, especially those dealing with your health and hygene. This would be a great time to set a daily schedule concerning your health. Go ahead promise your body an extra glass of water a day and sit down and plan how you are going to fulfill that promise.

Today we finish the Full Moon Cycle of the Quickening Moon.
The moon is void-of-control today as of 12:31 am this morning to Thursday at 12:46 am. when the Moon moves into Virgo. 
Today enjoy the excited anticipation of the Quickening Moon at its height of power while refraining from starting any projects today, with the moon void-of-course it lacks influence. But tomorrow as we move into Virgo it will be a great time to put together those daily schedules that will help you achieve your goals. 


Quickening Moon: 
     This month is one of anticipation and hope. It is the time in which the animals and the earth wait in pregnant repose for the coming Spring. As mother's we recognize this feeling as the nesting instinct we felt prior to birth. It is the time to make ready for the new life to come. But remember not to get caught up in the excitement and do too much for our strength and energies will be needed soon.

Full Moon:
    Pagans and Wiccans consider a Full Moon Cycle to be a full 3 days. The Full Moon is important in Wicca and Paganism  for it is  the height of the Moon's  power lending this power to spells done at this time. It is a particularly good time for spells relating to spiritual health and healing or spells relating to intuition.
   

Moon void-of-course: 
   Moon void-of-course is a the time in which the Moon is moving from one astrological sign to another. In other words, it will have no guiding influence. Spells or plans made at this time lack direction, and, therefore, will be unable to be completed or may even turn out differently than planned.

Virgo:
   We will move into Virgo at 12: 40 am Thursday. Virgo loves details, so this is the time to focus on those daily schedules or goal charts. Matters concerning health or hygiene are favored so this would be a great time to make some goals concerning your health and make up a schedule to accomplish them.

So for today relish in the anticipatory mood of the Quickening Moon as Leo urges us to look inward and address our core beliefs Today is the day to set your goals for the next month focusing on the foundation of who you are and what you believe. Think about the positive changes you want to make. There is no need to concern yourself with how these changes will be made at this time. There will be plenty of time for schedules and such as we move into Virgo on Thursday.

Quickening Moon: 

    The Quickening moon is one of anticipation. So named for the feeling of unexpressed energy in earth and animals. Pregnant animals, due in the spring, begin to feel the quickening of their unborn young. The earth itself is quickening, as seeds and bulbs far beneath the soil begin their journey towards the light. We know these things are coming -- this is also a  good month  for us to make plans for the future. It is a time to dream and hope... and a time to set goals for ourselves.  It is also a time to accept responsibility for our mistakes and move on. 

For the magically minded focus on personal achievements and advancement.


 Full Moon: 

    The Full Moon is the symbol of abundance and fulfilment, it is    a great time for  manifesting desires or dreams.
