Lunar Transits for 17-19 February 2019

The Moon travels into lively and fun Leo and the 5th House of children, love, and pleasure at 7:21 AM PST on 17 February 2019 until Void of Course begins at 5:50 AM PST on the 19th. Plan a gathering or attend one if invited, but be prepared for fun and laughter because this is a time to play! The chart is below:

Chart Balances/Info

• Mode ~ Fixed and Mutable energies are strongest challenging the more routine-oriented to remain flexible during this lunar period.
• Element ~ At opposite ends of the spectrum during this period are Fire and Air, or will and intellect. Passion may run high during this time with reason taking a back seat to our will. Spontaneity is nice, but avoid a lack of impulse control.
• Ray ~ The 1st, 5th, and 6th Rays are of primary influence with our will driving intellectual pursuits while the 6th Ray of Devotion and Idealism influences our relationships with others.
• Sign ~ Of the signs, Leo influences with an air of self-confidence and leadership along with compassionate and loving Pisces.
• House ~ The 11th House of friends, hopes, and society influences our desire for play.
• Lunar Phase ~ Gibbous, waxing, Maiden phase begins on the 18th, Mother (Full, Wolf) at 7:54 AM PST on the 19th.

Aspects

With catalytic Leo as the life of the party, it’s not surprising that strong aspects are influencing today. The Moon square Mars suggests that we may be prone to irritability for the next lunar period, while the same aspect with Uranus balances that energy with a reminder to remain flexible. Things may not be what they seem, so avoid pre-judging anything. An additional square with Pallas reinforces strategic thinking during this lunar period while a sesquisquare with Neptune suggests we simply hide out if emotions become too uncomfortable. Chiron continues its sensitive and healing influence, so if taking a break if feeling unsettled, allow those feelings to work for instead of against you. All of this is probably the result of Lilith’s influence, as the Moon is in a quincunx aspect with the Goddess leaving our emotions at odds with our will, so Neptune may have it right.

Magickal Workings

Well, the Full Moon is about here, so I would begin planning whatever magicks you will be working at that time, unless something comes up that needs your attention. Should that be the case, magicks of increase can be worked during this lunar period. Given the first day of the period is Sunday, magicks for healing can be worked while magicks supporting change and rebirth are favored for Monday. And on Monday, the Maiden phase of the Moon begins, so the witch may want to save magicks focusing on new beginnings, for example, for that day. The 10th and 11th Mansions are active during this time with workings to support love and compassion reinforced by Algebha, the 10th Mansion on Sunday, and travel and profit reinforced by Azobra the 11th Mansion on Monday.

I must be experiencing Neptune’s influence, because I’m feeling like hiding out today. I guess I’ve been channeling my inner Lilith lately, dealing with nonsense that shouldn’t be happening, and quite frankly, I’m exhausted from it all. But that’s how Lilith, the warrior, influences. She does it from the shadows, urging you on, suggesting directions to take while our emotions struggle with her counsel. But if you’re in a better space than I am, then enjoy time spent with others and let Leo’s influence shine!

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
