So I should have known better.
I've studied astrology for thirteen years. I took the name "Starlight" because I resonate so strongly with celestial energies. And, as a practicing Witch, I know what the Full Moon can do.
And, like a complete newbie to the Craft, I attempted to plan a ritual to take place on the Valentine's Full Moon.
Did I run a chart for it? Nope. Did I even spare a second thought for the Mercury Retrograde happening, which has a tendency to screw ALL planning up? Not a chance.
So I was barely ready, we're getting set to walk out the door - and then I find out that one of our friends was out walking her dog prior to ritual and was attacked by another dog - who belongs to another circle member. And we are the only folks available with a vehicle to transport her and her dog to the vet's emergency office.
During this same week, we also finally took that same vehicle in to get the brake maintenance done that we've been putting off for too long - a good activity for a Mercury Retrograde, good use of that energy - and find out that the dealership wants to charge us some $1500 dollars to change the brake pads and the rotors, with pickup not available until next week! (Oh hell no: we got it done for a third of that price in less than a day elsewhere We will see if Mercury's trickster side touches that at all.)
Mercury goes direct on March 1st at roughly 18'Aquarius (Sabian symbol for that degree is "A forest fire, finally quenched.") I cannot wait. It's been a rough ride.
