The February full moon is the Storm Moon, sometimes called the Death Moon. Solstice has passed, Imbolc with its hopeful signs of spring has come and gone, but still winter is dangerous at this time of year. In a good year this moon was a time to ask the Goddess for fertility, in a bad year this was the time to ask for strength to overcome hardship.
The full moon here tonight was beautiful, skipping through the light cloud cover, surrounded by a pink ring, colorful and breathtaking. Our winter has been mild so far and the full moons visible in all her glory.
The Storm Moon is full on Monday, February 9 at 9:49am EST

ReplyDeleteThe moon was beautiful here. I stepped outside after work and gasped! For many of us this year overcoming hardship will be a frequent plea I think.
