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.
