When the Moon transits the Mansion of the Hearth  each month it  a time for  gathering family and friends, , eating, and warmth. It is a time each month to provide sustenance to others with love. This is the Mansion of Evening. As the Moon transits this mansion, the energy is that of family, friends, and feasting. The time of the fire element is one for sharing the glowing health and fervor for life with others, particularly those in need.

(The Mansions of the Moon are the 28 divisions of the zodiac visited by the moon in its 28-day orbit of the Earth. Each area of the Zodiac has a special energy.  As the Moon travels the Zodiac it amplifies and focuses that energy.  If you want to track the Moon and understand its effects on your spirit and life - get your Daily Crystal Horoscope kit.

Those born while the Moon is in the Mansion of the Hearth are the masters of sustaining life with the nourishing energy of fire (See: What Mansion were you born in?). The power of those born while the moon is in the Mansion of the Hearth holds the power of nourishing both bodies and spirits with the fires of sustenance. While fire can destroy and do so without mercy, so can it provide the food we need from the gifts of the earth.

When the Moon transits this Mansion, take the time to enjoy the benefits of good food, and good company as a fire burns nearby cooking the soon-to-be-eaten meal. Light a cooking fire today, a fire of giving to others. It can be in your heart, it can be in the heart of another. This is a day to give food and drink. To share the bounty of the earth blessed by the cooking fires of life. Go with the flow…. call your mother, visit your grandparents, take a child to the park. Cook supper for everyone. Have a barbecue. This is a time of reconciliation too. The evening meal near the fire is the time for families to work out issues and come together.
