Good Morning Readers:

Good Morning Readers:

Today we continue in the Waning Cycle of the Quickening Moon. The Quickening Moon reminds us to make ready for the coming spring. The Waning cycle of the moon gives power to us in the act of release, a time to banish old habits and move one.

Today the moon is void-of-course until 1:44 pm when it enters Libra. Libra’s social nature favors social activities, friendship, and cooperation.  So for today dear readers take full advantage of the moon cycle today, sleep in till noon, have a long brunch and then go out and have some fun!

Quickening Moon:

The Quickening Moon moon is also known as the Snow Moon, Ice Moon, Hunger Moon, and Cleansing Moon.  Native American tribes of the north and the east called it the snow moon as it use to be the time that the greatest amount of snowfall came. The name Hunger moon refers to the difficulty to gather food this time of year. The Celts called it the Moon of Ice. This moon represents the coming of spring.  It’s the time when the seeds start stirring to life under the cold ground.  The farmers start planning crops for their gardens. The animals will start to feel their young in their belly’s as they are readying for their spring births.  The long sleepy winter is finally ending and the earth is in it’s early awakening to the longer days in the warmth of the sun.

Waning Moon:

The Waning moon is a traditionally a time for study, meditations and magical work designed to banish harmful energies. This is the time in our moon cycle to release and let go, making ready for the coming New Moon and a renewal of goals and ideals. The Waning Moon reminds us to let go, and release so that we may have room for new blessings.

Void-of- Course: (v/c)

As the moon moves from sign to sign there is a time in whic the last aspect and the entrance of the Moon into the next sign itt is said to be void-of-course. Projects began in this time will lack the governing influence of a sign and may turn out differently then planned. I personally see Void-of-Course as a resting time between one signs influence to the other. For those of you who need balance in your lives, like me, this will be a perfect reminder to take it easy.

Moon in Libra:

Libra is a sign of cooperation. It is a social sign favoring friendship and companionship. It is the sign that urges us to cooperation, and compromise, favoring harmony. Libra urges us to find to balance between the inner self and the outer self. Libra in the sign which urges us to interact with others. Many people when focused on their goals, neglect the relationships in our lives. Libra calls us to find a balance between the inner and the outer.
