challenge entry - strength of the full moon
I researched this full moon. I looked up info on the web, e.g. tarot.com, spritualtyhealth.com, and read my Tarot by Moon book by Victoria Constantino. I mulled over how both this moon and the current astrological sign interact. I have put my musings in parentheses.
Todayās full moon is called a Snow Moon. It was also known as the Ice moon or Hunger moon as food was scarce this month.
(I was thinking that it is good that Imbolc is celebrated at the beginning of February as obviously there was still a scarcity in food. The celebration of the approaching spring would be a light at the end of the tunnel to help get through until then. )
The Snow Moon is a good time to look at what is causing lack in your life. And conversely, also good to look at how you can bring in abundance, make room for expansion in your life, where excess could be trimmed, and nourish self on an energetic level. (Iām thinking look at lack and then make tailor made meditations, ointments, talismans that focus on abundance and nourishment in those areas.)
This is also a good time to sit in stillness and enjoy this moment before it transitions into the next phase. The earth is beginning to prepare for rebirth. (Sit in stillness, can you sense the rebirth? What seeds have you planted/prepared for this past fall/winter, how are they beginning to stir? Are any last minute boosts needed)
How are we mindful of the smaller shifts that are happening in the Northern Hemisphere that show that spring is coming. (If we are in a dark time, how can we acknowledge the small shifts that are happening to us that are our harbingers of our own spring?)
This moon is also in Leo.
During this moon there is a stronger desire to let people know how you feel so we are more appt to express love/appreciation.
However, we could also feel more insecure which can mean we have more expressions of those insecurities (here I am reflecting back to the snow moon and thinking about the sense of lack- great tie in here for a meditation and a counter-acting/supportive spell for nourishment/abundance feelings)
During the Leo moon we could feel more sensitive and vulnerable so we can ask those for reassurance. (Or we could have an empowering bath or both. )
As Leo is a sign of expressing oneself, pursue and artistic outlet or go socialize (thought- donāt go socialize if you are feeling vulnerable or sensitive 
)
Generally full moons are culminations so it is good to look at the seeds that have been planted to see if it has come to fruition( and if not in how you intended then looking at changing the āseedā or āgroundā in which it has been planted. If it did come to fruition as planted than acknowledging that and expressing gratitude. )
Cool- the moon moves fast enough to pass through each zodiac sign each month.
Now that I have posed these questions, I am going to go and pull my full moon tarot spread and mull over these answers. 
Blessed be everyone!
I am waitiing for your poem collectionsā¦
Iām going to save this too for fine tuning my potions~
