The Sky Tonight Update: Full Worm Moon

The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 11:39 UTC (5:39 AM CST). This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Worm Moon because this was the time of year when the ground would begin to soften and the earthworms would reappear. This moon has also been known as the Crow Moon, the Crust…

Full Sap Moon - 03/18

🌕 Full Sap Moon 🌳

Also called Worm Moon, Crow Moon or Chaste Moon. 🌳🍃🌿

The full sap moon is considered to be the last full moon of the cold part of the year.  Although frost still covers the ground here in Normandy, the first signs of spring are appearing and the sap is rising in the trees.

This moon helps us mentally prepare for the various changes to come within days of celebrating the vernal equinox.  It's time to start a new beginning, a new project and to change what you no longer want in your life.

The stars come together on this night of March 18 to reveal a moon placed under the influence of Virgo, a pragmatic sign, influenced by the Earth element and gifted in planning and organizing.  This moon is conducive to rituals aimed at hope, fertility, freedom and renewal.

🕯️ Candles side: blue, brown and green will be ideal to work with the energy of this moon but also the Earth element, honored through the sign of Virgo ♍

💎 On the stone side: the green opal, a symbol of hope and creativity, it stimulates the imagination and invites you to make a new start.  It helps us get rid of our fears and feelings of insecurity.  Aquamarine, stone of communication, it provides deep mental relief and promotes letting go.  A purification stone, aquamarine brings renewal.

🍃 Incense side: We promote elevation during this night, which is why eucalyptus, benzoin and green tea accompany you in your rite.

🪶 Let's take advantage of this full moon to plant and bless our seeds.  You can also think about the preparation and layout of your magical garden 🍃

Pleine Lune de Sève - 18/03

🌕 Pleine Lune de Sève 🌳

Appelée aussi lune du ver, lune de la corneille ou encore Lune chaste. 🌳🍃🌿

La pleine lune de Sève est considérée comme étant la dernière pleine lune de la partie froide de l'année. Bien que le gel couvre encore les sols chez nous en Normandie, les premiers signes du printemps apparaissent et la sève remonte dans les arbres.

Cette lune nous aide à se préparer mentalement aux divers changement à venir à quelques jours de célébrer L'équinoxe de printemps. C'est le temps d'entamer un nouveau départ, un nouveau projet et de changer ce que vous ne souhaitez plus dans votre vie. 

Les astres se réunissent en cette nuit du 18 mars pour nous dévoiler une lune placée sous l'influence de la vierge un signe pragmatique, influencé par l'élément Terre et doué pour planifier et organiser. Cette lune est propice aux rituels visant l'espoir, la fertilité, la liberté et le renouveau.

🕯️ Côté Chandelles : les bleues, marrons et vertes seront idéales pour travailler avec l'énergie de cette lune mais également l'élément Terre, mis à l'honneur à travers le signe de la Vierge ♍

💎 Côté pierres : l'opale verte, symbole d’espoir et de créativité, elle stimule l'imagination et invite à prendre un nouveau départ. Elle nous aide à se débarrasser de nos peurs et de nos sentiments d'insécurité. L' Aigue-marine, pierre de communication, elle procure un profond apaisement mentale et favorise le lâcher prise. Pierre de purification, l'aigue-marine apporte le renouveau.

🍃 Côté Encens : On favorise lors de cette nuit l'élévation, c'est pourquoi l'eucalyptus, le benjoin et le thé vert vous accompagne dans votre rite.

🪶 Profitons de cette pleine lune pour faire des plantations et bénir nos graines. Vous pourrez également réfléchir à la préparation et la disposition de votre jardin magique 🍃

Tonight is the Full Crow Moon also known as the Worm Moon and the Sap Moon. Called the Crow Moon for the cawing crows around this time that signal the end of winter. As the earth thaws worms start to appear. And it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.

The Spring Equinox will be in a few days, when both day and night are at equal length we are reminded to find our own inner balance. focus inward toward inner wisdom and self-analysis. This Full Moon is in the sign of Virgo, this will give us a keen eye for detail, we will see things and people and situations in our lives with crystal clarity, a light will be illuminated allowing us to see beyond the shadows. This is a time of cultivating and growing, just as the Suns energy and nature is doing at this time. Plant the seeds of new ventures, plan for the future, think about what it is you want and need and set about putting a plan into action. Use this energy for your own personal transformation, rebirth and regrowth.

Tonight's Full Moon illuminates our inner feelings and desires, so emotions can be quite raw and enhanced. The Virgo Full Moon means we may be over critical of ourselves and of others, try not to see the bad in everything instead look for the good. The Virgo sign is a very hard working and practical sign so use its energy for getting jobs done that you have been putting off for a while. Virgo is not scared to face deep issues so tackle any problems and bring them to an end.

This Full Moon brings light to whatever was hidden in the darkness or buried within the subconscious such as emotional pain or our deepest desires, but once awareness happens you are able to make realistic changes. Our emotional levels move like strong turbulent waves in the ocean during high tide for some during this Full Moon. Emotional reactions may be strong, energies may feel irritable or uptight. We are amidst great times of transformation which are heralding major new beginnings. Change isn't always easy or comfortable and it’s constant, so we must strive to keep our balance during these changing tides.

The world as it stands is challenged by many opposing forces now. We feel them both personally and collectively, pushing against our own will, raising difficult questions, triggering issues we would rather avoid. How we keep our own balance of light and dark and manage our own inner conflicts largely dictates how we manage outside ones. If we struggle with our own anger or hatred, telling ourselves we shouldn’t feel this way, we will struggle to respond effectively to the anger of others, allow yourself to feel angry or upset, but don't let it take over, keep a balance. If we fear our own power, preferring to see ourselves as victim rather than creator we may succumb to the power wielded by others, adopting their thoughts and priorities, behaviours and lifestyles without discerning the right path for us. If we refuse to acknowledge our own inner selfishness that demands its own way no matter what, we may project it onto the world around us, pointing the finger of judgement and even becoming a bully. Don't suppress your feelings, embrace your light and your dark sides as one cannot exist without the other. We need both. Let go of guilt and allow yourself to feel what you're feeling without self-judgement.

Let the energy of this Full Moon wash over you and cleanse your spirit, use it to heal you both emotionally and physically. Let the moonlight bathe and sooth you mind, body and soul. let the earth element of Virgo take away negativity. Stay away from self-doubt. Seek a balance of light and dark and see the truth in your life however much it may hurt, only then can you do something about it and begin to heal.

Have a blessed Full Moon, may the Goddess watch over you

Full Sap Moon !

The Kingdom is awake again. The first sign of spring is the sap rising and syrup boiling away in the sugar houses.

March’s full moon brings the first heavy tidal flow of sweet sap, pulling it from the roots to swelling buds, filling the trees with life again.

We aren’t tapping any maple trees this year on the homestead, and instead will gather sugar from the bees this fall. However, I will use this sacred time of the Sap Moon to ritually harvest fragrant buds and wood from trees filled with saps and resins drawn by the moon. My main target is the resinous buds of the Balsam Poplar, known for its sweet spring aroma, and I’ll also collect some fir resin, black birch wood, and perhaps even some sugar maple to powder and use as incense.

Feeling blue (by Milamai)

[witchand2cats-blog]

This weekend's full moon will be the "Blue Sap Moon." The "blue" part is so called because it's the second full moon in a single month (Interestingly, January had 2 full moons, February had none, and March has 2. 2018 is...special.) The "sap" part of the name, as you might surmise, refers overtly to the time when the sap begins to pour from the trees...tres sexy, no?
