Waxing Moon in Leo is a good time to do activities with friends. Its also a good time for sport and travels.

During a waxing Leo moon, its good to take care of your heart and circular system. Be careful with too many activities at the same time or too much energy or heavy emotions, which can lead to racing heart beat, feeling dizzy or back pain. Good time for wellness, long baths and fun activities.
Wednesday - Friday: Virgo
Waxing Moon in Virgo brings good times for planning and structuring. At this time we are more sensitive with “surprises” and might feeling stressed when things are not under control. During this waxing moon we can embrace our flexibility and our sense for details.

The waxing moon in Libra enhances harmony and the sense for the beautiful things in life. Meeting friends and visiting beautiful places are helping to balance the different life’s we are living.

MENTAL HEALTH
Topic of the Week: Anger
Anger is an intense emotion.
It is hardly surprising that this unpredictable emotion has a bad reputation in our society: Anyone who shows their anger is quickly seen as uncouth and primitive. Even in earlier times, thinkers called for moderation and reason; they wanted to curb all impulsiveness in people. The Roman philosopher Seneca, for example, even dedicated an entire book to anger, “De Ira” (“On Anger”).
Even later philosophers saw anger as a weakness of character. The Englishman Francis Bacon described it in the 17th century as a typical emotion of the weak - namely children, women, the elderly and the sick. Also many religions frown upon anger: in Buddhism, for example, it is seen as an obstacle on the path to enlightenment. Muslims believe that it comes from Satan. And in Christianity, it has been one of the seven deadly sins since the early Middle Ages.
But! Psychologists and psychiatrists, for example, are increasingly emphasizing how valuable anger can be - for example, by communicating clear boundaries to others, setting warning signals, releasing inner tension, giving us precise insights into our weak points and encouraging us to change. And they emphasize how important it is to give your anger space, to give it expression.
Biologically, anger is a sensible impulse!
Anger sets off a whole cascade of physiological reactions: stress hormones such as cortisol, noradrenaline and adrenaline circulate more strongly through the body, causing blood sugar levels and blood pressure to rise, among other things. The heart, lungs, brain and muscles are supplied with additional blood. Our pulse rate skyrockets and we are suddenly wide awake and full of energy. Ready to react to an annoyance, stress or danger - ultimately to fight or flee or freeze. But as much as anger may put us in an aggressive mood, anthropologists recognize an astonishing evolutionary mechanism that once ensured that violence among our ancestors did not constantly escalate.
What helps to deal with anger?
Mindfulness and Deep Breathing: Practicing mindfulness and deep breathing can help calm your mind and body, making it easier to manage intense emotions. Focus on your breath, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.
Physical Exercise: Engaging in physical activity can be an effective way to release pent-up energy and reduce stress. Activities like running, swimming, or even a brisk walk can help alleviate anger.
Cognitive Restructuring: This involves changing the way you think about the situation that’s causing your anger. Challenge negative thoughts and try to see the situation from a different perspective.
Relaxation Techniques: Techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, or listening to calming music can help soothe your mind and body, reducing the intensity of your anger.
Communication Skills: Expressing your feelings in a non-confrontational way can help resolve conflicts. Use "I" statements to communicate how you feel and what you need without blaming or criticizing others.
WITCHY WISDOM
After we went trough all the weekdays, we will dive no into the months and their meanings. And of course I give you hot insights about herbs, crystals, colors, spells and more.
If you have a topic you would love to discover - let me know.
February:
February's name derives from the Latin word "Februa," which refers to an ancient Roman festival of purification and atonement held on the 15th of the month. The festival involved various rites and rituals to cleanse the community and prepare for the coming spring. February was the last month of the Roman calendar before the calendar was reformed. It originally had 30 days, but when January was added to the beginning of the year, February was reduced to 28 or 29 days to maintain the calendar's balance.
Pagan Traditions:
For many pagan cultures, February marks the celebration of Imbolc, a festival that falls on February 1st or 2nd, midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Imbolc is associated with the goddess Brigid and signifies the beginning of spring, focusing on light, purification, and fertility.
Associated Plants and Herbs:
Several plants and herbs are linked to February and its themes of purification and new beginnings. Snowdrops, one of the first flowers to bloom in late winter, symbolize hope and the coming of spring. Other herbs associated with February include bay leaves, known for their purifying properties, and violets, which represent love and remembrance.
Zodiac Aquarius & Pisces. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (earlier by Saturn) and Pisces is ruled by Neptune (earlier Jupiter).
So this month gives us the change from Winter to early spring and so the hope for new life is rising again.
Moon: Snow Moon / Hunger Moon
The Snow Moon is named for the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. It reflects the winter weather and the challenges of travel during this time.
Tea & Smudging Time
Enjoy a purifying tea and cleanse your home, yourself and your tools with the following herbs.
Chamomile: Known for its calming properties, chamomile tea can help soothe stress and promote relaxation, making it ideal for the winter months.
Peppermint: This invigorating herb promotes digestion and can help to relieve constipation.
Elderberry: Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, elderberry tea can boost the immune system and help fight off winter illnesses.
Ginger: Warming and spicy, ginger tea is excellent for improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and aiding digestion.
Lemon Balm: A member of the mint family, lemon balm has calming effects and can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep, which is particularly beneficial during the darker, colder days of February.
Rose hip: High in vitamin C, rose hip can support the immune system and provide a boost of antioxidants, which are especially beneficial during winter.
Nettle: Nettle is packed with nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, and is known for its detoxifying properties.
Archetype: the Warrior
Magical Supporter:
Amethyst: Often used for mental clarity, relaxation and spiritual growth. Amethyst can help to clear and balance your mind.
Purple fluorite: Associated with intuition, creativity and emotional stability.
Imbolc:
Light Candles: Imbolc is often associated with light and the return of the sun. Lighting candles throughout your home can symbolize the increasing daylight and the warmth of the coming spring. You can also perform a candlelight meditation to focus on your intentions for the new season.
Spring Cleaning: Cleaning your living space brings order to mind and life. This act of purification aligns with the traditional practices of Imbolc and helps clear out the old to make way for the new. It’s a way to refresh your environment and your mind.
Create a Brigid’s Cross: Crafting a Brigid’s Cross from reeds, straw, or even paper is a common Imbolc tradition. This cross is associated with the goddess Brigid, who is honored during this festival. Hang the cross in your home for protection and blessings throughout the year.
Prepare and Share Seasonal Foods: Cook and enjoy traditional Imbolc foods that celebrate the season. Dairy products, grains, and seeds are particularly fitting, as they symbolize new life and growth. You might make dishes like oatcakes or seeded bread, and share them with family or friends.
Kitchen witch:
In Slavic and German folklore, Kobolds (small creatures) especially household kobolds were thought to cause mischief around the home and farm, but they could also be helpful under some circumstances. Leave some nuts, cookies or cereals on a small plate somewhere in your kitchen. This offering will help to keep them chilled and friendly. If they feel not well treated, they like to hide or break things.
Tarot Ritual:
Mediaset with the cards Justice and Judgement and see how you imagine justice and where you still judge yourself or others. This can help to connect deeper with your values and so understanding where anger might come from.
