Full moons are prime time for rituals for prophecy,  protection, divination. Any workings that needs extra power, such as  help finding a new job or healing for serious conditions, can be done  now. Also, full moons aide work for love, knowledge, legal undertakings,  money, divination, and dreams. It is said that full moon magic is like  a white candle &#8212; all purpose.<br \/>\nFull moon magic can be conjured during the 3 days prior to the rise  of the full moon, the night of the full moon and during the 3 days after. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">This full moon finds itself in Scorpio  and because the Moon and Mars are at odds during this time it&#8217;s best  to focus on healing and action-planning. With the Moon in Scorpio it  brings a very postivive outlook for emotional and physical connections,  this is why you may find yourself behaving a bit more flirty and emotional  at this time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Last Quarter: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">APR\u00a0 6\u00a0 2:37 am<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">Between the full moon and the dark  moon is the period of waning moon. The waning moon is best used for  banishing and rejecting those things that influence us in a negative  way.

Saging your home is a great idea during this time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">From three-and-a-half to ten-and-a-half  days after the full moon.The waning moon is used for banishing magic,  for ridding oneself of addictions, illness or negativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">New Dark\u00a0 Moon: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">APR 14\u00a0 5:29 am <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">The new moon is for starting new ventures,  new beginnings.

The new moon is also a good time to cleanse  and consecrate new tools and objects you wish to use during rituals,  ceremonies or an up coming festival or something you just obtained.  Some people call the new moon the dark moon and the terms are often  interchangeably used. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">New moon workings can be done from  the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">With the new moon in Aries, it brings  out the impetuous side in each of us and it has a helpful aspect in  Mars to boot.

We know the Moon sets the emotional  mood for the day, and using those subtle changes to your advantage can  change a result from &#8216;fuzzy or vague&#8217; to &#8216;perfect!&#8217; To understand how  this works, you need to understand how the Moon travels. Simply, it  is the astrological sign the Moon travels through and it is something  that should be considered when planning anything and everything. As  the Moon&#8217;s phases gives off different energies, so too do the astrological  signs she visits.\u00a0 To figure out how the Moon in any particular  sign will effect you, consider the nature of the sign the Moon is visiting.\u00a0  For example,\u00a0 if the Moon is in Virgo, it would be a great time  to tend to details, tidying up, being efficient, make plans, but watch  out for anxiety about what could go wrong, overthinking an issue etc.,  Plan activities for when the moon is in one of the astological signs  governed by the element that corresponds to your desire. For example  if you wish to bring the Earth element into your plan, choose a time  when the moon is in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn. For Air qualities choose  a time when the moon is in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. For Fire choose  a time when the moon is in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. For Water, choose  a time when the Moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. The chart below  tells you when the Moon is moving out of her last aspect and into the  new. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">April<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus;

These are the times  when we uncharacteristically exercize poor judgement because actions  initiated during this time period aren&#8217;t given the full picture. But,  all is not lost, this is a good time for just reflecting, not acting.  If you are a person that likes to periodically &#8216;put things off&#8217; well  this is a great time for that.

Start compost  when the Moon is in the fourth quarter of any water sign. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Harvest<\/span>&#8211; Root crops should be  harvested when the Moon is in a dry sign, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini,  and Aquarius and in wane. Harvest grain crops for storage just after  a Full Moon, and avoid the signs of water for storing grain, wait and  harvest grains during the third and fourth quarters in dry signs listed  above. For dry crops, harvest in Fire signs during the third quarter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Mow Lawn<\/span>&#8211; Mow in the waxing  phase to increase the lawn&#8217;s growth and mow in the waning phase to decrease  growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pick Mushrooms<\/span>&#8211; Because mushrooms  are often used in holistic ways, they should be gathered at the Full  Moon for most potentcy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Planting<\/span>&#8211; Root crops are best  if planted in the Earth signs of Taurus and Capricorn. Beans, peas,  tomatoes, peppers, and other fruit-bearing plants are best if planted  in a sign that supports seed growth. Leafy plants like lettuce, broccoli  or califlower, are best planted in water signs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Transplant<\/span>&#8211; Transplant when  the moon is decreasing when the Moon&#8217;s forces are straming into the  lower part of the plant. This is good also for root growth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Prune<\/span>&#8211; Prune during the third  and fourth quarters of a Scorpio Moon to retard the growth, to yield  better fruit.

For those who are in an independent dwelling, you  can attach a pipe from your gutter to a closed rain barrel and fill  it up to use for watering later. Place a trellis in front of it and  plant a climbing plant to camouflage the barrel. Alternatively, barrels  or large pails can be left out to catch the rain but any water left  out must be used quickly or it will become stagnant and buggy. Also  be careful around children and pails of water. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Papyrus; font-size: small;\">Digging a trench alongside a row of  crops is an instant irrigation system.

Full moons are prime time for rituals for prophecy, protection, divination. Any workings that needs extra power, such as help finding a new job or healing for serious conditions, can be done now. Also, full moons aide work for love, knowledge, legal undertakings, money, divination, and dreams. It is said that full moon magic is like a white candle &#8212; all purpose. Full moon magic can be conjured during the 3 days prior to the rise of the full moon, the night of the full moon and during the 3 days after. This full moon finds itself in Scorpio and because the Moon and Mars are at odds during this time it&#8217;s best to focus on healing and action-planning. With the Moon in Scorpio it brings a very postivive outlook for emotional and physical connections, this is why you may find yourself behaving a bit more flirty and emotional at this time. Last Quarter: APR\u00a0 6\u00a0 2:37 am Between the full moon and the dark moon is the period of waning moon. The waning moon is best used for banishing and rejecting those things that influence us in a negative way. Negative emotions, diseases, ailments, and bad habits can all be let go and special spells for clearing can be performed at this time. Saging your home is a great idea during this time. From three-and-a-half to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon.The waning moon is used for banishing magic, for ridding oneself of addictions, illness or negativity. New Dark\u00a0 Moon: APR 14\u00a0 5:29 am The new moon is for starting new ventures, new beginnings. Also a good time for love and romance, health or job hunting, anything that is for personal growth, healing and blessing of new projects or ventures. The new moon is also a good time to cleanse and consecrate new tools and objects you wish to use during rituals, ceremonies or an up coming festival or something you just obtained. Some people call the new moon the dark moon and the terms are often interchangeably used. New moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after. With the new moon in Aries, it brings out the impetuous side in each of us and it has a helpful aspect in Mars to boot. Note that quick decisions can arise as well as impulsive purchases. First Quarter: APR 21 11:20 am The first quarter, called the waxing moon is best used for attraction and constructive magic, love spells, wealth, success, courage, friendship, luck, and healing energy. Between the new and full moon from seven to fourteen days is a period of the waxing moon.

Moon In Signs Moon phases are crucial to everyday workings but there is another valuable tool in the Moon&#8217;s magickal arsenal, Moon in zodiac signs. We know the Moon sets the emotional mood for the day, and using those subtle changes to your advantage can change a result from &#8216;fuzzy or vague&#8217; to &#8216;perfect!&#8217; To understand how this works, you need to understand how the Moon travels. Simply, it is the astrological sign the Moon travels through and it is something that should be considered when planning anything and everything. As the Moon&#8217;s phases gives off different energies, so too do the astrological signs she visits.\u00a0 To figure out how the Moon in any particular sign will effect you, consider the nature of the sign the Moon is visiting.\u00a0 For example,\u00a0 if the Moon is in Virgo, it would be a great time to tend to details, tidying up, being efficient, make plans, but watch out for anxiety about what could go wrong, overthinking an issue etc., Plan activities for when the moon is in one of the astological signs governed by the element that corresponds to your desire. For example if you wish to bring the Earth element into your plan, choose a time when the moon is in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn. For Air qualities choose a time when the moon is in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. For Fire choose a time when the moon is in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. For Water, choose a time when the Moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. The chart below tells you when the Moon is moving out of her last aspect and into the new.

Void-of-Course In about 28 days the Moon circles the Earth and she moves through each zodiac sign in two and a half days as you can see from the chart above. Because she moves one degree in two-two and a half hours her influence is short lived.\u00a0 Though from the point where she reaches her highest degree within a sign to the point where she is reaching the next sign, it is called &#8216;void-of-course.&#8217; It&#8217;s best to think of this short time period, as &#8216;dead time&#8217; because plans usually don&#8217;t work properly. These are the times when we uncharacteristically exercize poor judgement because actions initiated during this time period aren&#8217;t given the full picture. But, all is not lost, this is a good time for just reflecting, not acting. If you are a person that likes to periodically &#8216;put things off&#8217; well this is a great time for that. You can think about what to do when the Moon is right for it! April V\/C times 2- 5:54 am 4-1:57 pm 7- 1:18 am 9- 2:44 pm 12- 5:51am 14-12:23 pm 16- 9:57 pm 17-12:57am * 19-3:21 am 21-7:07 am 23- 8:35 am 25-11:21 am 27-12:45 pm 29-5:39 pm *This is in Eastern time and it only effects those in that time frame. Lunar\u00a0 Notes: On the 6th after the Moon squares the Sun at 2:37am, until the void of course Moon on the 7th. This brings about an energy great for creative types of work. The New Moon on the 14th, is an Aries Cazimi Moon*. Because Mercury is in Storm, you can work with the energies of the New Moon for about an half hour before and after the Sun-Moon conjunction at 5:29 am.\u00a0 Because it&#8217;s an Aries Cazimi Moon,\u00a0 it&#8217;s best if you only use this time for following through on projects, it will give you an extra push to get them done.\u00a0 *Any planet whose center is within 17 minutes of arc of the center of the Sun in celestial longitude is said to be Cazimi. This is considered the hightest form of accidental dignity. A planet is thougth to be weak when under Sun&#8217;s beams, and weaker stil when combusst but very powerful when Cazimi. The Moon opposes Pluto on the 19th, until Moon enters Leo on the 21st. This energy is very productive is very good for follow-ups. A Hare Moon Invocation by Dorothy Morrison &#8220;O Fertile Mother, I now ask of Thee To fill my life with Hare Moon energy My spirit and mind so decisions are wise I ask for my body a healthy condition I ask that my goals come at once to fruition And bring, too, the positive magic of fey Bring foth this energy, Mother today.&#8221; Lunar Agricultural Working Since spring is on the wind, it&#8217;s time now to think of all things outdoors. Below are a few topics you may find useful in your agricultural workings. Cultivate&#8211; when the Moon is in a barren sgin and waning, the best time begin in the fourth quarter in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, or Aquarius or the third quarter of Sagittarius. Fertilize and Compost&#8211; Fertilize when the Moon is in a fruitful sign such as Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Organic fertilizers are best when the Moon is waning. Start compost when the Moon is in the fourth quarter of any water sign. Harvest&#8211; Root crops should be harvested when the Moon is in a dry sign, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius and in wane. Harvest grain crops for storage just after a Full Moon, and avoid the signs of water for storing grain, wait and harvest grains during the third and fourth quarters in dry signs listed above. For dry crops, harvest in Fire signs during the third quarter. Mow Lawn&#8211; Mow in the waxing phase to increase the lawn&#8217;s growth and mow in the waning phase to decrease growth. Pick Mushrooms&#8211; Because mushrooms are often used in holistic ways, they should be gathered at the Full Moon for most potentcy. Planting&#8211; Root crops are best if planted in the Earth signs of Taurus and Capricorn. Beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers, and other fruit-bearing plants are best if planted in a sign that supports seed growth. Leafy plants like lettuce, broccoli or califlower, are best planted in water signs. Transplant&#8211; Transplant when the moon is decreasing when the Moon&#8217;s forces are straming into the lower part of the plant. This is good also for root growth. Prune&#8211; Prune during the third and fourth quarters of a Scorpio Moon to retard the growth, to yield better fruit. To promote healing, prune when the Moon is in Capricorn. Because our planetary conditions are changing and our environment is precious, I&#8217;ve included in this section a few tips on water conservation. Make the most of the water you have by capturing rain. For those who are in an independent dwelling, you can attach a pipe from your gutter to a closed rain barrel and fill it up to use for watering later. Place a trellis in front of it and plant a climbing plant to camouflage the barrel. Alternatively, barrels or large pails can be left out to catch the rain but any water left out must be used quickly or it will become stagnant and buggy. Also be careful around children and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3450\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
