For those in cold climates, the Ice Moon is aptly named for February where winter seems to be relentless in presenting one storm of frozen precipitation after another. The energy of these storms can be a clue to the great energy that is also beginning to swirl beyond our sight. The February moon is also known as the quickening moon, for it seems that daylight is increasing at an incredible rate and in the light of the sun’s massing power ice and snow from winter storms doesn’t persist as long after storms have passed.
