First quarter Moon

Today sees the first quarter moon in Virgo, a time of balance and equality especially in areas concerning employment, intellect, business and law.

This moon will rise around midday and set around midnight. It is now in the shape of a 'D' and many of the lunar seas become visible close to the straight line of the 'D'. These include the 'Sea of Serenity', closest to the top of the moon as we look at it, whilst adjoining it below is the 'Sea of Tranquility and below this is th 'Sea of Nectar'.

Luna

I am the nectar that sweetens your dreams. I am the rainbow that colours your tears. I am the cloud that carries the storm. I am knowledge. I am Goddess.

The Super Moon

Today marks the time of the full moon at one of its closest perigees to earth since 1993. It is being called a 'super moon' and its gravitational pull on the earth will be very strong possibly leading to extreme levels of tidal waters known as the 'Proxigean Tide'.

The full moon is in the sign of Virgo at 18.10 but moonrise will begin at 18.23 GMT. A Virgo moon indicates a time of dealing with employment, health, diet, business and the law, in fact anything which is earthly by nature.

Seize the power of moonlight and take action to make your dreams a reality.

To the Celts this was known as the 'storm' or 'snow' moon. Although this was a time of great concern, for them, as they were still in the grips of winter and food supplies were often running low, they did acknowledge a stirring within the earth. This stirring they attempted to encourage with drumming and chanting in order to calm the storms and hasten the spring.

This full Moon is seated in the sign of Virgo and is an excellent time for seeking employment, begininning a new educational pursuit or reassessing your health and diet. It is auspicious for dealing with business matters,the law and carrying out healing rituals for the intestines, thoracic spine or nervous system.

Luna

I am the nectar

That sweetens your dreams,

I am the rainbow

That colours your tears,

I am the cloud

That carries the storm.

I am knowledge,

I am Goddess.
