March Full “Storm” Moon March 18, 2022 12:17 am PST/ 1:17 am MST/ 3:17 am EST
If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. If March comes in like a lamb, it will go out like a lion.
-old weather saying
This month’s moon is called the Storm Moon (medieval England), probably due to the fact that March is known to have some major storms caused by earth changes brought about as spring approaches. The weather saying above is an old one and you have probably heard someone use at one time or another. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac ” Some skywatchers believe that there’s a heavenly connection. The constellation Leo, the lion, is rising in the east at the beginning of March, hence the “comes in like a lion,” while Aries, the ram, sets in the west at the end of March, and so “will go out like a lamb.” Other names for this moon are Fish Moon (Colonial America), Sleepy Moon (China), Windy Moon (Cherokee), Big Famine Moon (Choctaw) When Eyes Are Sore From Bright Snow Moon (Dakota), Moon of Winds (Celtic), Palolo Worm Moon (New guinea), Full Sap Moon ( for tapping the maple trees), Full Crow Moon (the northern Indian tribes said that the cawing of the crows meant winter was ending), and the old settlers called it the Lenten Moon and considered it the last full moon of winter.
The Storm Moon of March is the herald of Ostara, Spring, and new beginnings. Winters snow will soon give way to spring rain. The first of the seasons’ new growth is already showing, the days are longer and the Sun is climbing higher in the sky. So too are we experiencing new beginnings and growth. The time has come to clean and prune away the old debris that keeps us from moving forward. This much-needed inner spring cleaning provides us with a new outlook and helps us to bloom, even during difficult times. Magical workings, meditations, and healing should focus on personal growth and rebirth during this moon.
To enhance your endeavors wear the colors of spring, greens, yellows or lavender and adorn yourself with aquamarine, bloodstone, quartz crystal, or jade. Use the scents of honeysuckle and apple blossom to create springs essence of hope and vibrancy to your altar, home or workspace.
Good Morning Beautiful Souls! Grab a cup of your favorite morning brew and start things off with “Today’s Inspirations”. I hope you find something here that will make you feel good or help you on your path today.
Blessings, Cat

Learning Brings Growth: Cat’s AngelMessage for March 17, 2022
March Theme: Manifesting our dreams and goals requires focus and clarity. By working on self-love we find the inner peace needed to navigate our path like a pro.
____________________________
Learn from the past and use those lessons to move forward. ~Cat
_____________________________
Today’s Message:Learning Brings Growth
317: Your past experiences contain valuable lessons that once learned help you to grow. The focus of the last several days has been on releasing and letting go of what no longer serves you to create room for new blessings. Fill these open spaces with positive choices and decisions that embody your truth and values. (and yes our truth and values change with experience) Today we are receiving a big high five from our angels for the conscious effort made to create the room for new beginnings. Their message today is that you are on the right path and that your powers of manifestation are operating on a higher level. Be courageous and take advantage of and welcome the new opportunities and blessings that are headed your way.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Jeremiel helps us to make positive life choices. He understands that it’s hard for us to let go of people and situations even though they are holding us back or causing us unintended stress, drama or harm. Jeremiel can help ease these transitions and reminds us that concern about change is normal. Ask him to help you see your path clearly and to assist you in taking the necessary steps to embrace your future.
The Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it. He teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult situations. Focus and efficiency help us in our quest for personal evolution and help create the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.
The Hindu Goddess Devi helps us to find meaning in our lives and gently guides us in learning to follow our own inner wisdom. She says “Take my hand and let me guide you on your journey of self-discovery. You need only look within to find your true meaning. Release your cares to me and I will purify your heart and spirit so that new information can be sent to you. “
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Agate. This humble stone is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to make the most of our life experiences.
Carnelian is used for motivation and increased creativity. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and helps us find creative solutions to current issues as it boosts self-esteem and invites us to embrace our personal power while promoting positive life choices which enhance our ability to draw new forms of prosperity and abundance.
Dalmation Stone. This light-hearted stone is a combination of quartz, Microline, and black tourmaline. It instills feelings of safety as it helps us to reconnect with our playful side which is important to our emotional health and it transforms outdated thinking during times when we feel stuck and enables our forward progress by encouraging a fresh perspective This stone also promotes grounding and enhances our connection to Mother Earth. It reminds us that we are a part of her as well as being spiritual beings on a very human journey.

TO SUPPORT OR NOT
“It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets.” — Douglas Hurd
Are you struggling financially because you are helping another adult who is being irresponsible around money?
Without intending to do so, we can keep people dependent when we are willing to financially rescue them. Enablers typically feel it’s their duty to help out. They may see giving money as an expression of love. Unfortunately, they may lose their own financial security as a result.
As hard as it may be to do, the solution may lie in forcing the dependent to find his or her own way financially. In this case, it’s not selfish to not lend a hand — it actually serves the highest interests of all. Learning personal responsibility can be a tough road but it’s a necessary one for empowerment.
“Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon them and to let them know that you trust them.” — Booker T. Washington

Inner Journey:
BEWARE OF DUTY
“Should is an ordinary, everyday word — except when it is used to indicate an order that may not be refused. Then should becomes a finger waving under the nose. …Should users build prison cells for themselves. They are so focused on what they should do — that they cannot think about what they can do, what they might do in the future.” — Dr. Arthur Freeman and Rose Dewolf
Many of us have been taught to do our duty. What does this imply to you? For me, ‘doing my duty’ means doing something I really don’t want to do. My heart’s not in it, and so the energy for the act isn’t there. I have to force every move. Usually, there’s underlying resentment. When this is the scenario, tasks may get done but there’s no gift to the world.
We do not truly serve the world if we give to others but neglect our own truth and our own needs. It’s only when our own needs are fully met that we can generously and whole-heartedly give of ourselves. It’s not selfish to look after ourselves — it’s essential!
“To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart.” — Pearl S. Buck

Of all the points on the Wheel of the Year, the Spring Equinox – Ostara – is when Pagans wax most poetic. We speak of the Earth’s awakening, of trees budding, of life returning to the land after a long hard Winter.
“We live in a culture that is greatly biased against the imagination, because our culture is very materialistic, objective and literal. Our culture lacks soul, and doesn’t know it, although it experiences the consequences. When you don’t know what’s missing, then of course you don’t know what to bring in, even though you feel something is missing.
“We live in a world that needs more soul, more meaning. We, as conscious beings, have, as our primary responsibility, at this time in human history, the task of bringing soul into the world, or releasing soul into the world. We do this, first of all, in ourselves and in our own personal world; then we do it in our groups – including family; then we do it in our society through our work, relationships and presence there.” — Andrew Schneider

We cannot avoid daily resentment and thoughts of guilt. They are a part of human nature. What we can do is release their grip on us. We can forgive others and ourselves daily.
Forgiveness requires nothing in return. There are no conditions. It gets rid of old baggage and clears up unfinished business. It leads us to a life of authenticity, lightness and directness. Forgiveness is the highest form of letting go of resentment andego.
True forgiveness is more than an apology, understanding and acceptance. There is an element of recreating and re-imagining. There is a need to envision ourselves as more loving, interdependent, courageous and compassionate. Forgiveness requires honouringthe sacred journey of learning about life – our life and others’.
“Whatever we have done, we can always make amends for it without ever looking back in guilt or sorrow.” — Eknath Easwaran

Business “All business proceeds on beliefs, on judgments of probabilities, and not on certainties.”
-Charles W. Eliot
Let’s look at this in terms of business in the broadest sense. For example, we are all running the business of our lives. We’re the CEO. Many of the same principles that apply to running a business then apply to us in this way. There are no certainties in life – we make decisions based on what we’ve learned so far, and maybe a little bit of intuition

I AM, I CAN, I WILL: Cat’s AngelMessage for March 11, 2022
March Theme: Manifesting our dreams and goals requires focus and clarity. By working on self-love we find the inner peace needed to navigate our path like a pro.
____________________________
Dreams and goals are like thought seeds. They need attention to grow! ~Cat

Today’s Message:I AM, I CAN, I WILL
311: We all have dreams and goals. Many of which we put on hold for various reasons. Money, time, fear, other people, or we are simply not ready to move forward. Today the Universe is asking us to dust off what we have put aside and bring those things back into the light. Remember, things don’t have to be perfect in order to go for what you want and get the ball rolling. The important part is taking that first step. Take time to focus each day on what you want to achieve. Use powerful statements, I AM, I CAN, I WILL to give yourself a boost of positive power. The Angels tell us “ Don’t be afraid to share your dreams and goals with others. It is through sharing them that will help give you energy and opportunity.”
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Raguel helps us to find our power and brings clarity when we feel conflicted about what to do next by providing a boost of energy and by bringing order to our thoughts. He also aids in the letting go process which is essential to moving forward. Raguel reminds us that sometimes people can get “freaky” when they see you moving off in a new direction and helps to smooth the way by resolving conflicts and disharmony with those around us as we work with our creative magic.
The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy are an essential part of self-care and create the positive energy we need to propel us forward. It helps us to let go of stress and worry, which allows the light of faith and hope to shine through. The power of laughter clears and resets or energy field by releasing tension and emotions that have been held in check. This is an important lesson on our path, if it makes your heart sing then it’s the right direction.
The Greek goddess Nike, Lady of victory and success helps us to embrace the good things that we have accomplished. By acknowledging them we can increase our faith in ourselves as a creator. She says: “Do not be afraid to acknowledge the amazing things you have done but don’t rest too long on your laurels. Remember that your power comes through movement and momentum is lost through inactivity. Keep moving and you will be victorious!”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Moss Agate. This gentle stone promotes new beginnings and can help release the blocks that are keeping us from moving forward. It attracts new forms of abundance and teaches us how to channel our energy in new, creative ways. Often referred to as the gardener’s stone Moss Agate helps us connect to nature, the earth, and our own inner garden as well. Carry it with you or wear it during times of new growth.
The markings on Picture Jasper make this stone excellent for creative visualization and inspiration. It helps us to see the bigger picture and the part we play in it.
Nebula Stone. This energetically unique stone resembles the night sky. It allows you to see the value of the things around you and helps you to appreciate what you have while promoting gratitude toward yourself and others.
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

EarthSky News: Castor andPollux meet the moon, March 10 to 12
On March 10, watch the 1st-quarter moon among the winter stars. On the 10th, it sits inside the Winter Circle. This asterism is also shaped like a hexagon with six bright stars marking its corners. The moon floats in Taurus above the upraised club of Orion. But it will slide toward the twins Castor and Pollux in Gemini on each consecutive night.
The clockwise direction that is generally used within ritual.
The direction of the sun and the moon, the direction that time is read, and things move forward. Deosil is important because it is the direction of manifestation and creation.
When a circle is constructed it is brought up deosil and it is taken down it is the opposite: widdershins. Deosil and Widdershins both will be opposite in the Southern Hemisphere from the Northern Hemisphere.

LIMITED PERSPECTIVES
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” — Friedrich Nietzsche
We never have enough information to enable us to fully understand the truth of the reality around us. And there is never only one correct perspective about anything.
Knowing this helps me let go of my tendency to label things as good or bad. I suffer least when I can accept reality just as it is. And I benefit most when I open my heart and mind in appreciation.
“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.” — Marcus Aurelius

A Note from the Universe
If you just look at all that already exists in your life, all that you already have: unlimited air to breathe, ample lighting to see, music to hear, books to read, stars to dream by, trees to gaze upon, floors to dance over, friends to cavort with, strangers to meet, enemies to befriend, woods to walk through, beaches to comb, rocks to scale, rains to splash in, rivers to float in, animals to bring comfort… you have to admit there’s more of it than you could ever, ever, ever, ever spend.
But try anyway.
Big shot,

Business “Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.”
-Peter Drucker
There are times when it is best to take baby steps, to move cautiously. And then there are times when we need to take a leap of faith and just go for it. Starting a business is a big decision in itself. And like life, and everything else, how much we put into it shows. Success is a personal definition, it’s about how you feel.

You have extra protection today, but this is not a reason to act rashly or take extra risks. In fact, you may be called upon to protect someone else or to safeguard some progress or advantage that was recently gained. Have self-confidence in all situations but don’t take your safety for granted. Be willing to be responsible for those around you and win a lot of loyalty.

March Quotes
“March said to April, I see three hogs upon a hill; And if you’ll lend me three days I’ll find a way to make them go. The first of them was wind and wet The second of them was snow and sleet, The third of them was such a freeze It froze the birds’ noses to the trees. When the three days were past and gone The three silly hogs cam limping home.”

WHAT HEALS?
“Paradoxically, a group of humans becomes healing and converting only after its members have learned to stop trying to heal and convert. Community is a safe place precisely because no one is attempting to heal or convert you, to fix you, to change you. Instead, the members accept you as you are. You are free to be you. And being so free, you are free to discard defenses, masks, disguises; free to seek your own psychological and spiritual health; free to become your whole and holy self.” — Scott Peck

Business “You are never giving, nor can you ever give, enough service.”
-James R. Cook
There is always more that we can do to help. Opportunities are around us every day. At the grocery store, on the sidewalk, in cyberspace, at school or at work. We are here to help each other, every day in every way. When we just open up our awareness, we can see where we are needed. Every business is a service business.

If you’re hesitant to do something or to make a decision, that’s OK. What urgently needs to be done will be done, so don’t worry about it. There may simply be too many options and too many conflicting requests coming up all at the same time. Sometimes hesitation can be a sign of prudence and a refreshing change from impulsiveness.
