Good Morning Readers!
Hopefully you all slept well under the light of the New Moon. The Storm Moon today reminds us that Spring is on the way with it's spring storms to nurture the spring plantings. This New Moon is also a Super Moon being quite close to the Earth in it's orbit even if we were unable to see it so close to the Sun's orbit. The New Moon urges us to make plans and set intentions for the coming month. Today the moon will be void-of-course from 6:02pm to 7:11 pm when the moon enters Aries. The Moon in
Aries makes this a great time to start projects, things will seem to move quickly. Beware of Aries argumentative nature thought in order to make them run smoothly

Storm Moon:
The Storm Moon of late February is so named for the Spring storms. As the old saying goes March comes in like a lion and leaves like the lamb.
New Moon:
New Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after. The new moon is for starting new ventures, new beginnings. Also love and romance, health or job hunting.
Super Moon
Last night we experienced a rare event, a Dark Super Moon during this time, the moon is at the closest to the Earth than at any other time making it appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full moons.
Scientists call this phenomenon a “perigee moon.” The moon is usually about 238,000 miles from our planet, but because of the elliptical shape of the moon’s orbit, the distance varies throughout the year. At perigee, the moon is about 12,000 miles closer to the Earth.
You won’t be able to see Wednesday’s unique supermoon due to the sun’s glaring rays concealing it during day hours. But with minimal light pollution from the moon, it’ll be a prime time to dig out those astronomical binoculars and go searching for faint objects in the galaxy.
As Universe Today puts it, a black moon is the simply a new moon version of a blue moon — which is an extra full more in a season having nothing to do with color — and is either:
- A month missing a Full or New Moon… this can only occur in February, as the lunar synodic period from like phase to phase is 29.5 days long. This last occurred in 2014 and will next occur in 2018.
- The second New Moon in a month with two. This can happen in any calendar month except February.
- And now for the most convoluted definition: the third New Moon in an astronomical season with four.The black moon intensifies ocean waters to create surging tides, known as a perigean spring tide. In some countries, like the United States, the phenomenon is known as the King Tide. As a result, a coastal flood alert is in effect until late Thursday.The black supermoon won’t be back until Oct. 30th, 2016, however, a spectacular blue moon is expected on July 31 this year.
Moon in Aries
Great time for starting projects. Things may occur rapidly, but quickly pass. People may also become more assertive or even argumentative during this time.
