Cold Moon:
     Develop the inner self, connecting with the deities of our paths and focusing on self-discovery and awareness.

 Moon enters Cancer at 2:09


     Cancer favors emotional rapport with people. Supports growth and nuturing a great time to tend to domestic matters.
So for today folks as we close out the Cold Moon, of January today is a perfect day to focus on transformations particularly those involving communication in your family. Good luck and have a magical day!
   

Cold Mood:

developing the inner self and connecting to the deities of your path. Focus on self-discovery and awareness

Waxing moon:

Building, accomplishments, creativity, strength, growth and learning, positive transformation 

Moon is void-of-control from 4:24am to Saturday at 2:09am when it will move into Cancer. 

So for today folks just lie low, moon void of control means the moon has now planetary guides today so any magic done today will not have the same focus. But as we move into the weekend we will feel the influence of Cancer, the sign that encourages communication and resolution. It may be a great time to clear up any domestic issues. 

Have a Great Day !

2nd day of Taurus with Moon entering Gemini at 5:36pm

Taurus as we remember, is a great time to start projects we want to last. Taurus also urges us to appreciate the beauty around as our senses' are heightened. As we move into Gemini this evening we may note that projects started at this time may be swayed by outside influences but Gemini's influence is also a great time  for innovation and  communication allowing  us a time for developing shortcuts or getting input from others. Have a little fun today getting to know the people of your team.

Cold Moon favors  development of inner self and connecting with deities.

Phase : First quarter

               Building, accomplishments, creativity, strength, growth and learning, positive transformation 

Moon is void of control 9:23 entering Taurus at 1:37

When the moon is void of control it is a rest time as the moon moves from one astrological sign to another. Taurus’ influence favors a longer and more stable change. Projects started in Taurus will tend to increase in value and are harder to change. Taurus also brings out an appreciation for the beauty around us and a fuller sensory experience.

Cold Moon:

               Developing inner self, connecting with the deities and focusing on self -discovery and awareness

                              Moon enters Aries at 8:31 am

                                             Aries: Great time for starting things. Things will appear to be moving rapidly but they will pass just as quickly. Some may find this time to rife with conflict some people may become assertive or even aggressive.

 : The cold moon favors a focus on self-discovery and awareness with the influence of Aries we may want to start a short term goal today or meditate on the difference between assertiveness and aggression. It may also be a good time to assess our close relationships with others assessing them within this in mind. Toxic relationships whether they be family or friends sap our personal power. This year let us all consciously choose to limit the influence these type of relationships have upon us.

January 23rd, 2015 01/23/2015 0 Comments The January moon is the time of the " Cold Moon". It is a time to develop the  inner self, and advance spiritually. It may also be a time for magic pertaining to spiritual or physical protection. This may have developed from the lore of Native Americans, who considered the January moon the" Wolves Moon". It. was a time to be conscious of the " wolves howling at the door" as they grew hungry and aggressive in relation to the hardships of winter When the moon is void of control lunar energy is suspended. For many individuals, this lack energy will mark a time of numbed feelings and poor judgement. It can also lead to a lack of intuition. In general, it is not a good time for anything which requires clear thinking and personal power. The moon being void of control need not be viewed as a time of ill-will, though. Instead as we become more in tune with the energies of moon and earth we may view  a moon void of control is a great time to simply relax and prepare. As we strive to become conscious of and lead by the magic of the moon, we find that incorporating the moon and its influence on our personal path will naturally teach us balance.

Wendi W  Welcome . I will be giving a day by day explanation of the moon and her energies.

Janus: The God of Transition

Janus:

Many believe the month of January to be named after the Roman God Janus, the god of thresholds.The worship of Janus traditionally dates back to Romulus and a period even before the actual founding of the city of Rome.
 Janus is the God of doorways and archways. In fact the Roman word for a ceremonial doorway is januae while an archway was a jani.

 There were many Jani (i.e., ceremonial gateways) in Rome; these were usually freestanding structures that were used for symbolically auspicious entrances or exits. Particular superstition was attached to the departure of a Roman army, for which there were lucky and unlucky ways to march through a janus. The most famous janus in Rome was the Janus Geminus,  which was actually a shrine of Janus at the north side of the Forum. It was a simple rectangular bronze structure with double doors at each end. Traditionally, the doors of this shrine were left open in time of war and were kept closed when Rome was at peace. According to the Roman historian Livy, the gates were closed only twice in all the long period between Numa Pompilius (7th century bc) and Augustus (1st century bc).
in Roman religion,
Some scholars regard Janus as the god of all beginnings and believe that his association with doorways is derivative. He was invoked as the first of any gods in regular liturgies. The beginning of the day, month, and year, both calendrical and agricultural, were sacred to him. Some believe the month of January is named for him, his festival taking  place on January 9, the Agonium. There were several important temples erected to Janus, and it is assumed that there was also an early cult on the Janiculum, which the ancients took to mean “the city of Janus.”

Janus was represented by a double-faced head, and he was represented in art either with or without a beard. Occasionally he was depicted as four-faced—as the spirit of the four-way arch.
Modern people embrace the spirit of Janus in the making of New Years resolutions. As pagans, we may use the power of Janus to not only guide our path into the new year but in a monthly renewal of those intentions.

January 22nd, 2015

In Wicca,  January is the  month of the Cold Moon. The Cold Moon asks us to focus on developing the inner self and connecting to the deities of your path. Its focus on self-discovery and awareness is seen in our modern society as New Years resolutions. For the mindful Wiccan, however, January is a month of introspection. It is a time to look deeply at those things we wish to leave behind and forward to a year to come and the goals both physical and metaphysical that we wish to focus our year on. 
The moon in her time enters and exits each of the zodiac signs about every 2 days, lending a different energy to the cycle. Today                                                                                                          

     Moon enters Pisces: 7:48 am

Pisces focus is on dreaming, nostalgia, intuition, and psychic impressions. A great time for spiritual and philanthropic activities. 

Next Full Moon: February 3rd. Imbolic: February 2nd
