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:

1. 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.
2. The second New Moon in a month with two. This can happen in any calendar month except February.
3. 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.

Good Morning Readers:

Our moon is void-of-course until 6:47pm today when it officially enters the New Moon phase and enters Pisces. For those of you seeking to align your life with the natural cycles of the moon, this evening will be a perfect time to renew intentions and goals for the coming month. This month's  Storm Moon will bring with it the warmth of spring and the life-giving summer storms that nourish the earth. It is a time of beginning, a time of action. The Pisces moon reminds us to dream, and trust our intuition as we move forward to the next season. It is a great time for spiritual activities. 

Storm Moon

March rolls in like the proverbial lion, and if we're really lucky, it might go out like a lamb. It's the time of the Storm Moon, the month when Spring finally arrives.Heavy rains and gray skies abound as the earth is  showered with the life-giving water it needs to have a fertile and healthy growing season. This is also a time of equal parts light and darkness, and so a time of balance.

New Moon: 

A storm is said to rage most fiercely just before it ends, and the year usually follows suit.

The Moon following the Wolf Moon is the Storm Moon. Whether you meet with a coven on the night of the Full Moon, salute Her in a solitary ritual, or simply blow Her a kiss, bear in mind the magic of this night and the nature of the storms of February. Unlike the boisterous storms of the light half of the year, which are accompanied by the clashing of thunder and the flinging of lightning bolts, the storms of February come in silence. They blanket the world in coldness in keeping with the nature of the dark half of the Wheel of the Year. But beneath the blanket of cold and silent snow, Nature rests, as we do when in the realm of the Spirit that is called death; and like those in the world of Spirit, Nature prepares for life anew.New  Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after.

Pisces:  Pisces Moon will often have strong psychic abilities. They find it easy to walk a mile in someone else's shoes and are amazingly compassionate and full of love. Unfortunately, this capacity also makes it easy for them to lose themselves in others' problems.During the Pisces Moon, you  will often have strong psychic abilities.

During the Pisces Moon, you can become overwhelmed with reality or  become despondent by those around you if you are not careful, so be careful the next few days of your company. 

Good Morning Readers!

Today, tomorrow and the next day are the cycles of the New Moon.The February 18 the moon qualifies as a supermoon if you accept the definition by Richard Nolle that started the whole supermoon craze a few years ago. Nolle, who is credited for coining the term, defines a supermoon as:

… a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit.

This Months moon is considered the Storm Moon or Worm Moon for the Spring weather we will start to see. Additionally the moon remains in Capricorn today, urging us to focus on tradition and responsibilities

Storm Moon:

In this month, the ground softens and the earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signals the end of winter, or the Full Crust Moon because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation.

New Moon 

Officially the dark moon can be  time for ridding oneself of bad habits, Binding spells, for exploring our darkest recesses and understanding our angers and passions. Also bringing justice to bear.The New Moon can also be a time to set intentions and goals for the coming month.

Dark Moon:

The new moon comes on February 18, 2015, and then reaches perigee less than one-third day later. It’s the closest new moon of the year, which qualifies it as a new moon supermoon. It’s also a seasonal Black Moon; that is, it’s the third of four new moons in the current season (December solstice to March equinox). The moon reaches lunar perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth for the month – some 7.6 hours after the moon turns new at 23:47 UTC (6:47 p.m. CDT) on February 18. Don’t expect to see anything special, not even a little crescent like that in the photo above. A  full supermoon is out all night – brighter than your average full moon. But a NewMoon supermoon is only out during the daytime hours, hidden in the sun’s glare.

 Cappricorn 

Capricorn’s influence helps to build strong structure in our lives. Capricorn uges us to focus on traditions, responsibilities and obligations making this a great time to set boundaries and rules
