Lunar Transits for 27 February – 2 March 2019

The Sun is out for the first time in days as I awakened to a temperature of -2 degrees outside. It’s day four of the Snowpocalypse. My husband has taken the snowblower to our 800-foot driveway twice and he has a tree to cut up that fell across the driveway blocking our escape. Thankfully, we stocked up on food and we have enough gas for the snowblower, so we should be fine. But for the entirety of winter to arrive over the course of a couple of days is humbling.

Our Moon moved into structure-oriented Capricorn last night at 10:49 PM PST and the 2nd House of finances, property, and self-worth. A focus on mundane tasks is favored during this time. As a new month arrives, so does the need to take care of paying bills and other routine tasks. The chart is below:

Chart Balances/Information

• Mode ~ Cardinal (initiating), Fixed (stable), and Mutable (changeable) influences are in balance.
• Elements ~ Earth dominates with a focus on routine matters followed by Water and our emotions. Absent is Air or an intellectual focus. Objectivity may suffer during this lunar period.
• Rays ~ The 1st Ray of Will/Power influences along with the 2nd Ray of Love/Wisdom and the 6th Ray of Devotion/Idealism as well.
• Sign ~ Capricorn and Pisces are the strongest influence suggesting a blending of discipline and responsibility with compassion.
• House ~ 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Houses provides a focus on routine, communication, and home.
• Lunar Phase ~ Waning, New Moon at 8:05 AM PST on 6 March.

Aspects

Although we have a focus on routine right now, our emotions may still be in flux. A square with Mercury may foster a lack of tact with others so we may want to take a moment or two to think before speaking. Chiron continues its strong influence over our perceptions regarding the wounded areas of our lives and that may contribute to Mercury’s influence. The Moon trine Uranus gives us some relief as it provides the space to explore new ideas and opportunities although flexibility is still in order.

Magickal Workings

If the snowpocalypse, or any other severe weather is happening, a weather-working can be performed. The 22nd Mansion of the Moon, Caadaldeba, is useful for both travel and escape and may be helpful in finding a way through the snow. In our case, a phone call from our neighbor told us that the snow plows came through this morning, on day four of the deluge, but at least the roads are now clear. Otherwise, magickal workings performed on Thursday can take an expansive focus but keep in mind the moon is waning and magicks of decrease are preferred. Friday’s workings may take a focus on love or relationships and both days can create space for healing magicks with Caadebolach assisting in that purpose.

Particularly if we’re forced to stay home due to the weather, this can be a positive time to take care of the more mundane aspects of life. It may provide a sense of relief if we’ve had to dig out from weather-related issues. In my case, it looks like we can finally go to the store today. But that’s after my husband cuts down the tree across the driveway. I’ve included a few pictures below.

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
