Good Morning Readers;

This evening the Storm Moon of March is in the Waxing Phase. This months moon reminds of the coming Spring while the Waxing Phase of the Moon urges us to start  again. It is a time for beginnings, a time to let our magic sprout and grow just as the early spring flowers will soon do. For most of the day our moon remains in Taurus giving energy and strength to projects you wish to be resistant to change. Just make sure it is done by 9:57 pm when the moon will be void-of-course to insure success,

Storm Moon:

Celtic ~ Moon of Ice
English Medieval ~ Storm Moon
Neo Pagan ~ Snow Moon

This month  brings with her Moon a time to begin your Spring Cleaning.  It is a time to welcome change, as light once again begins to take hold of the world, and darkness recedes. We need to start making plans for the future, accept responsibility for past discretions; a time for purifying your thoughts and self- forgiveness.  It is a time of rebirth of self, and self- purification.

Waxing Moon:

The Moon today is in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon's surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Taurus:

Taurus knows how to savor the good things in life, but also excels at taking care of business. They’re blessed with an emotional stability that gives them focus when all others are lost in confusion. They have a take-charge nature, but everything is done with a deliberate style so that each step is on solid ground.

Void-of-course:

The Moon has the fastest orbit, and as it cycles around the Earth, it makes aspects to other planets, and moves through all 12 Zodiac signs. It makes contact with all the wanderers (planets), in what are called aspects. These are the angles formed by the relationship, known as squares, oppositions, trines, sextiles and conjunctions.

When the Moon is Void-of-Course, often written as VOC or v/c on your calendar, it's left the last aspect it'll make before going into the next Zodiac sign. The echo of that last planetary transit can color the emotional atmosphere since the Moon is like our mood lighting.
