((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Despite the unseasonably warm weather here (I write to you from Chicago, IL, US), it is nonetheless the end of February, and still very much the Winter season.

The Dark Moon for February is generally ideal for quiet contemplation, cultivating stillness, and deep meditation – but not this year.The cards above speak of activity; power, desire, ambition and action coming together to move plans and projects forward – your success depends on your personal investment.

YOU MUST PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT!! 

This is not surprising as Pisces season has begun, and this particular Dark Moon occurs in Pisces as well. ((NOTE: Of course, emotional exposure creates vulnerability but it is necessary. Be brave – you can handle it!))

The Dark Moon is a time of planning, assembling, and establishing the groundwork for future goals to actualize. Use this time and energy to incorporate the the opposing Dark Moon agendas. I suggest you can merge them seamlessly in steps; plan your actions in quiet contemplation, review your completed activities in stillness, use meditation to bring focus to the next steps in your plan.  

Since it is still February, be sure to maintain your Winter self-care; wear snugly slippers, get plenty of rest, put extra marshmallows in your hot chocolate.  Keep yourself warm, inside and out.
