Welcome to March Moon Circles! Let's come together to explore and (re)connect to our divine feminine energy and tap into our greatest daydreams, desires, and potential. Supported and encouraged by the energy and magic of Grandmother Moon, let's honor our thoughts, words, actions as we (re)align with our intuition and best, most authentic selves.

About our beautiful Moon's Phases:
As the Moon orbits around Earth and Earth orbits around the Sun, the angle between the Sun, Moon, and Earth changes. As a result, the amount of sunlight that reflects off the Moon and travels to our eyes changes every day. (The Moon itself produces no light of its own.) We see the Moon’s disk change from all dark to all light to all dark again: This span of time is called a lunar cycle, lunation, lunar month, or synodic month. The length of the cycle can vary slightly, but on average, it is 29.53059 days. Astronomers have broken down this cycle into four primary Moon phases: New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter. There are also four secondary phases: Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, and Waning Crescent. The primary phases occur at a specific moment, no matter where you are on Earth, which is then converted to local time. (Depending on where you live, you may or may not be able to see the exact moment of a phase, in part because the Moon may not have risen yet in your area.) The secondary phases, however, represent a span of time rather than a specific moment. (courtesy of: https://www.almanac.com/astronomy/moon/calendar) March 2022 Moon Circle Themes:

Full Moon in Virgo
March 18, 2022 5:00 p.m. PST / 8:00 p.m. EST Class Description:
Full Moon. Celebrate and Cleanse. Huzzah! We made it to the end of a lunar cycle. Whoo! Let's mindfully discern and honestly reflect on how things are going and where there's (still) room for improvement. Let's take some moments to express gratitude for the journey we're travelling on, how far we've come, and where we've yet to go. Let's celebrate all we've been able to accomplish, the internal and external ways we've welcomed and allowed healing, and clear away an extra or stagnant energy and/or limiting thought patterns and beliefs that may be lingering and holding us back. Bring with you: A journal, or a few pieces of paper; and a pen. A glass of water. A candle, or incense**, or any combination of these. A light mist or spray of rose water or eucalyptus. Stones and/or crystals to charge/re-charge in the moon light. An open heart and an open mind. Optional: a salt lamp. Optional: or your favorite items to light and burn for energy and space cleansing*: sacred sage, sacred sandalwood, sacred sweet grass, sacred palo santo... *it is important to note: non-Indigenous folx need to research, understand, and honor the sacred tools, history, practices, and Indigenous traditions of space and energy cleansing; and engage with them respectfully and sparingly. Being mindful and aware will help educate yourself and others; and actively work to end cultural appropriation. Please consider including looking up Indigenous-owned businesses to support during your research. **some incense scents come in flavors of: sandalwood, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, eucalyptus, etc. Please consider using incense sticks or cones rather than taking/consuming more sacred resources from Mother Earth and our Indigenous neighbors, brothers, sisters. Please consider supporting Indigenous-owned businesses who may specialize in sacred smudging (or cleansing) bundles or wands or incense when wanting or needing to make a purchase of such items. 
About Full Moon:
This phase is named as such because, from our perspective, the full disk is illuminated. At this time, the Sun and Moon are in opposition, meaning that they are farthest apart in the sky, on opposite sides of Earth (Sun→Earth→Moon). (courtesy of: https://www.almanac.com/astronomy/moon/calendar) About Virgo:
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Virgo is an earth sign historically represented by the goddess of wheat and agriculture, an association that speaks to Virgo’s deep-rooted presence in the material world. Virgos are logical, practical, and systematic in their approach to life. This earth sign is a perfectionist at heart and isn’t afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent practice. Virgo rules the digestive system, which makes these earth signs especially attuned to the ingredients that make up a whole — in food and in everything else. They're hyper-aware of every detail. Virgo is about input and processing. A Virgo deals with information like a computer, transforming even the most jumbled set of information into organized, clear concepts. Above all else, Virgos want to help. They are kind, gentle, and supportive friends and lovers who use their incredible intellect and resourcefulness to problem-solve. Virgo's opposite sign, Pisces, offers guidance through spirituality, but Virgos want to assist on a practical level. These earth signs are always striving to provide workable solutions and improve broken systems. (courtesy of: https://www.allure.com/story/virgo-zodiac-sign-personality-traits) |
