The new moon on March 22 ushered in the Pink Moon. Several cultures also associate the new moon in March with the wind, which blusters in and scatters seeds across the warming ground, just in time to be nourished by April's rainfall. This will sound familiar to those who know the old rhyme:
March winds bring April showers,
April showers bring May flowers
Bonus: What do May flowers bring? Pilgrims!
This week the moon moves from waxing crescent to half moon (Friday, March 30).
The Lunar Week, Daily:
Monday, March 26: Moon in Taurus. Monday's a busy day, but it might be nice to start the week with a little pampering as opposed to waiting until the weekend. Taurus is ruled by Venus, which makes it a sensual sign that emphasizes beauty and physical pleasures; but it is also an Earth sign, which can help ground sensual pleasures and prevent them from being expressed too expansively. Take some time today to think about what beauty, or comfort, or pleasure means personally to you, and then find a way to express it before the day is through!
Tuesday, March 27: Moon in Gemini. Are melons on your list of Summer Fruits to Enjoy, 2012? A waxing Gemini moon will help them on their way! I live in Texas, so by now it's warm enough for us to sow them right into the ground. If you live in a cooler climate, start the little guys in a small paper cup today for a sweet, Summer treat.
Wednesday, March 28: Moon in Gemini. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the Roman trickster and master of thought and communication. Meditate throughout today on how life can by enriched by speaking thoughtfully, and by thinking before speaking.
Thursday, March 29: Moon in Gemini/Cancer. I'm having my hair trimmed today, and the combination of Cancer and waxing moon will contribute to fast, thick growth during this cycle.
Friday, March 30: Moon in Cancer. We started the week with reflection on beauty and pleasure, and it's quite fitting to end the week in reflective Cancer. It's funny to think of The Crab as being an emotional, moody sign, but consider how a crustacean's thick, bony carapace hides and protects the delicacy of its internal organs. Think about how you express your emotions today, and how you protect yourself; meditate with a moonstone, if you have one. Perhaps also consider being a little extra understanding of the special Crab (whether or not he/she is actually a Cancer) in your life.
Saturday, March 31: Moon in Cancer. Cancer is the most fruitful and fertile of all signs. Today's a great day to get Summer above-ground seeds and crops in the ground. The waxing moon will offer an extra boost of fertility and strength to seeds and sprouting plants.
Sunday, April 1: Moon in Leo. Have friends over for an April Fool's Day brunch or lunch! Cultures from all over the world have some type of foolish festival, and the celebration date doesn't matter! Have each guest come armed with a prank, a potluck dish, and a particularly ridiculous White Elephant gift; crown someone the Queen or King of Fools before the end of the day and send him or her home with all the silly gifts (i.e., crap that no one else wanted in their house anymore). Ha!
