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.
