Welcome to the Ash Moon, a time of potent magic and profound transformation, as we journey from February 18th to March 17th. In the embrace of the Celtic Tree Calendar, this lunar month is governed by the Ash, a sacred tree revered for its protective energies, healing essence, and the ability to stir the very winds of change.

This Ash Moon begins with the New Worm Moon on February 17th, a significant time for rebirth. The Worm Moon reminds us of the cyclical nature of life, urging us to shed the old and embrace new beginnings. This year, the New Moon aligns with an annular solar eclipse, an event viewed astrologically as a portal for realignment, karmic revelations, and accelerated change. Although this eclipse will not be visible in the United States, its potent energies will be felt across the globe. Remember, gazing directly at any solar eclipse without proper eye protection is dangerous.

Adding to the vibrant cosmic tapestry, February 17th also marks the start of the Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Fire Horse. The Horse, a symbol of adventure and vitality, combined with the element of Fire, promises a year of bold action, dynamic energies, and exciting opportunities. Let us tread with wisdom, balancing enthusiasm with prudence.

While this month is brimming with celestial events, there will be no Supermoon this cycle, allowing us to focus on the transformative energies of the Ash Moon, the solar eclipse, and the fiery spirit of the Horse. May this time be filled with renewal, insight, and the courage to embrace the changes that lie ahead.
