AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

Monday's New Moon in Aquarius is going to put the 'kick' in 'kick start!'  Mars in in the mix to make sure we really do finally get going after a month of delays and reflections and inner musings. Now its time to get a move on! We are getting ready for some NEW Energy. Aquarius is  the 'quirky' in all of us, and helps us think outside the box.

Today is Imbolc, the halfway point between the Winter Soltice and Spring Equinox. At this time we pause and look hopefully toward the coming spring.

In The catholic version called Candlemass,  candles were blessed, there was much feasting to be had, and the drab days of February suddenly seemed a little brighter. The Irish goddess Brighid is the keeper of the sacred flame, the guardian of home and hearth. To honor her, purification and cleaning are a wonderful way to get ready for the coming of Spring. In addition to fire, she is a goddess connected to inspiration and creativity. Brighid is known as one of the Celtic "triune" goddesses -- meaning that she is one and three simultaneously. The early Celts celebrated a purific
