Filly Rose Moon: Abuelita, why do we run a squash farm? It’s so boring.

Abuela: (laughs) it is a little boring, but don’t let your Papa hear you say that.

Way back when I was a filly your age, my papa took my mama and me to San Franciscolt for the gold rush. But he didn’t want gold- he wanted land. He knew when the gold ran out ponies would want to make a home for their own, and he bought some fertile land- but not as much as he’d hoped.

The neighbors to the east had enough land for their farmhouse, but not enough to grow the squash seeds they had brought when they came for their fortune. So your great grand Papi and their neighbor made a deal.

The neighbors would use our land to grown their squash, we would split the profits, and when I and their son-who was about my age- grew up, we would marry and inherit the land and farming skills together.

Rose Moon Filly: Oh. So that’s when you met abuelo?

Abuela: No, my sweet- your grandpapi was another pony. But I’ll let you know how that came to be when you’re older.

Rose Moon Filly: Okay Abuela.

When Rose Moon's Great Grampa on her father's side (Planting Moon) brought his marefriend Chocolate Cosmos home to meet his parents, he hoped everything would go great. Twice before, Planting Moon's father Blue Moon had scared away potential special someponies due to his father's connection with ghosts.

At this point, Blue Moon was the last of his generation and was worried that the Guardian tradition would die with him- as neither of his kids seemed to believe that he could communicate with ghosts, never mind channel them. But Chocolate Cosmos desperately missed her father, and jumped at the idea of speaking to him.

Blue Moon continued on to help heal the heartbreak that happened in her family. When her musican father disappeared all those years ago, they thought he had abandoned them for music. But by bringing Guitar Song a voice, they found out that he had died on his way back to them.

Chocolate Cosmos and Planting Moon got married not long after, and had many children that were taught the importance of the Guardian tradition.

Today we have the Flower/Budding/Planting/Egg-Laying/Shedding Ponies Moon in Scorpio [in the Northern Hemisphere] & the Beaver/Frost/Sassafras/Mourning Moon in Scorpio [in the Southern Hemisphere]. 🌱🌷🥚🪴

This Budding Moon signals the upcoming peak of Spring Season, marked by the abundance of flowering trees and plants that this season is known for. Depending on where we live, we will see avians, reptiles, & amphibians lay their eggs. All of which is Nature's way of saying that warmer weather is coming to stay. It is our time to plant foods, flowers, and plants with more fervor, as the growing season is approaching full swing.

For us Indigenous Afrikans/Americans, each Full Moon holds great cultural significance. We name each Full Moon according to seasonal events or natural phenomenon that take place around this time, by region/country. Thus this serves as one of many traditional ways to mark our place in the Circle of Life, from one year and season to the next.

This Lunar Eclipse @14-15°in Scorpio will:

start @ 11:14am est

peak @ 1:22pm est

end @ 3:31pm est

Check your natal chart placements (within 5°of this area) & the houses ruled by this Taurus-Scorpio axis, to see how this transit will impact on your life for the next 3-6mo cycle.

Some Workers time workings by the moon; using the moon cycle to observe the progress of applicable workings (aka those that can run their course over a month, work that doesn't need to be done asap). For those who do, it is Blackbelt Tradition to start said workings under the New Moon and measure its progress throughout the duration of the moon cycle; growing under the Waxing, peaking under the Full Moon, and coming to completion under the Waning Moon. 

🌱 In Rootwork, Full Moons often call for foraging certain plants under it's peak Divine Feminine energy.

🔮 In Conjure, this is an appropriate time to petition or invoke certain spirits for their aid
