<description><![CDATA[Quickening Moon is the name for the February full moon on the 7th at 9:03 AM. The color of the day is maroon, purple or blue. Use blue candles for your ritual and burn sandalwood or sage incense. The gemstones are  rose quartz, amethyst and jasper. Use an amethyst stone for dreaming. Take time to relax and savor some spiritual time too. This is a month when new life is beginning, but still lies dormant. Pregnant animals, due in the spring, begin to feel the quickening of their unborn young. The earth itself is quickening, as seeds and bulbs far beneath the soil begin their journey towards the light. This is the month to make plans for the future. It is a time to dream, hope, and set goals for ourselves. Accept responsibility for mistakes you have made in the past, and move on. Magical workings this month should focus on personal achievements and advancement. Plan a ritual to ask the Old Ones for help in planning your future.]]></description>

This is also a time of equal parts light and darkness, and so a time of balance. Plan a ritual related to rebirth and regrowth. A ritual to for prosperity and for your wishes to come true..]]></description>
