Lunar Transits for 15-17 February 2019

The Moon moves into nurturing Cancer and the 5th House children, pleasure, and love at 6:04 AM PST on 15 February 2019 until Void of Course begins at 6:17 AM PST on the 17th. We’re feeling a focus on home and hearth with an emphasis on exploring new activities with friends and family. The weekend approaches and it’s time to play! The chart is below:

Chart Balances/Info

• Mode ~ Fixed energies are prolific emphasizing routine and stability. Remember to be flexible if experiencing change.
• Element ~ Emotions and the Water Element dominate to assist with adaptability and flexibility.
• Ray ~ The 1st Ray (Will/Power), 5th Ray (Concrete Knowledge), and the 7th Ray (Ceremonial Order and Magic) provide the greatest Ray influences favoring the exploration of new ideas and concepts.
• Sign ~ Aquarius dominates the planetary influences with a humanitarian or progressive focus, perfect to take advantage of this lunar period’s Ray influences.
• House ~ Both the 1st House of identity and the 12th House of our hidden strengths and weaknesses allow us to explore the inner self during this lunar period.
• Lunar Phase ~ waxing, 1st quarter.

Aspects

The Moon in trine with the Sun fosters harmony with others while a sextile with Mars and Uranus leads us to decisiveness and standing in our own power while still remaining flexible with change and/or ideas from others. A square with Chiron alerts to healing opportunities if old wounds arise and a trine with Pallas aligns with the 7th Ray influence bringing a strategic focus into play.

Magickal Workings

Friday and Saturday magicks can involve Venus and Saturn with a focus on love, harmony, and relationship magicks on Friday and more mundane issues left for Saturday. If performing a binding or banishing on Saturday, although witches often use the waning aspect of the Moon for these purposes, we can also use the Moon’s waxing energy to increase the efficacy of the working, utilizing Saturn’s planetary seal to halt negative forces. Remember that we can always perform a magickal working even when conditions aren’t completely favorable if we employ the idea of opposing forces to the working. Anathra, the 8th Mansion of the Moon will assist in love magicks on Friday reserving magicks of control or discipline for Saturday when Atarf, the 9th Mansion, is active.

It sounds like this is going to be a great weekend to stay close to home, spend time with friends and family. It’s also a great time to focus on a new creative project. With the overall Aquarian influence active in the chart, we’ll likely find a way to integrate both!

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
