Budding Trees Moon, March 25
This Budding Trees Moon is the first moon after the spring equinox, heralding the half of the year when the days are longer than the nights, and light has greater influence than the dark.

Since day and night are equal at the equinox, this is a time of learning about balance or learning what balance truly is. So during this moon, reflect on balance in your life. Where do you feel balanced? Where do you not? What will it take to bring more balance into your life?

Freeze-up Moon, November 16
This Freeze-up Moon is a time to get grounded. Allow your own energies to move down into the earth, to feel the earth, and feel grounded in your daily lives. This Freeze-up Moon is also a time to be sensitive to all energies of your environment. Finally, this moon-time is a time of disclosure, building on last moon’s time of reflection. Allow your verbal disclosure to move yourself forward toward the year’s end without any baggage from this year.

Long Snows Moon, December 15

Future Lunar Reflections will discuss changing the patterns you’ve uncovered.
