Good Morning Readers!

The Quickening Moon in its Waning Phase reminds us to release and let go to make ready for the coming Spring and the New Moon on the 18th. Today, the moon remains in Capricorn making it a great time to set boundaries in order to establish sound strong structure in our lives. Coincidentally, today is also a planting day a day to plant the seeds of self- love deep within our heart and soul. Just as every plant needs to sink its roots deep into the soil, we must also give our lives structure and a rich  environment in which to grow and flourish. Today focus on releasing negative thoughts and people from your life and fertilize your soul with love with special attention to personal boundaries. Untill tomorrow light and love dear readers. 

Quickening Moon:

February's  moon is known as the Quickening Moon because it is when new life is beginning, but it still lies dormant. It is called the quickening moon because the pregnant animals, who are due in the spring, can begin to feel their unborn quickening. Additionally, the earth is starting to show life again. This is also the month to plan new beginnings. 

Waning Moon:

Between the full moon and the dark moon is the period of Waning moon. Used for banishing and rejecting those things that influence us in a negative way. Negative emotions, diseases, ailments, and bad habits can all be let go and special spells for clearing can be performed at this time. 

Capricorn Moon: 

Your happiness and sense of well-being increases when you do things that give you a sense of self-respect. Feeling capable is at the core of your happiness, which is sometimes why when the moon is in Capricorn we  can be focused so much on achievement and ambition. Sometimes Capricorn is called the sign of the manager, which is a reflection of Capricorn’s desire and natural ability to, well, manage; to get the job done and take care of what needs to be taken care of. Capricorn tends to be pretty good at assessing reality and seeing what needs to be done to get from A to B. Managers need to be able to see the bigger picture and plan for the future, not just for today. Capricorn knows the true meaning of the word "conservative:" it’s not about politics, but rather means not expending more than is needed because there is a long way to go.

Planting Day:.

Plant flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear crops below ground during the dark, or waning, of the Moon: from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again.Farmers swear that this practice results in larger, tastier harvest.
