New Moon

The moon sits in alignment between the Earth and the Sun during the New Moon. The side of the moon that receives the light from the sun faces away from us, and so the moon is not visible to us during this phase of the moon cycle. The new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle and so, it is an opportunity to participate in its energetic gift of initiating the new. Ideas and intentions that are set during the new moon will germinate and take root so that they can bloom at the full moon in two week’s time.

The moon is our most visible reminder of the on-going process of giving birth to ourselves.

~ Rhea Wolf

I love the potential, possibilities, and invitation of the New Moon. While the Full Moon is about completion, the new moon is about beginnings. Its energy is like that of a ripe, empty womb calling for a new seed to be planted. This fertile welcoming energy invites us to plant our intention so that the greater life can work with us to manifest. When we seed our environment with our intentions during this time, they develop through the coming days and weeks and culminate at the full moon, and find completion.

New Moon in AriesThe Sun and the Moon are both in the same sign at the time of the New Moon. So it is beneficial to attend to the energy that the astrological sign is expressing to understand how this is reflected in our environment. The tides are at their nadir and peak, so the pull on our emotional bodies can be felt more acutely.

A Fresh Beginning

The New Moon is symbolic of beginnings or a second chance. We can use this time to reflect on what we have been holding and find renewal. During this time we can remember that today, we are new, fresh, full of new ideas and that we dare to bring them life. In the words of Anne of Green Gables, “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”. The New Moon is our tomorrow – with no mistakes.

Holding intention as a way to ground and anchor the very purpose of our being and allow for the universe to act through us, in partnership. An intention is based on trust, and it leaves us open to possibilities larger than our imagination. Here is a simple ritual you can perform to help you ground and remember your intention.

Setting Intention

  • Smudge your house with sage or cedar or light a candle.
  • Meditate. Imagine yourself surrounded by white light. Reflect on what is completed and what is wanting to manifest. Create your intention in your mind.
  • Write it down. Make sure that frame your intention positively. State what you want.
  • Place your written intention on your altar.
  • Walk through your house or apartment and find objects that support your intention. Place them on your altar as a reminder of your intention for the coming days.

Scorpio New Moon – The Warrior, Expansion, Death and Rebirth

By |November 16th, 2017|Categories: New Moon|Tags: , , |1 Comment

This is the path of the evolved Warrior. The mantram for Scorpio is, “Warrior am I and from the battle I emerge triumphant.” We are asked to do battle with our lower selves, our ego, the unredeemed parts of ourselves that usually hang out in the underworld. Once these unfinished parts of ourselves are recognized, accepted and held in the cauldron of a loving heart, transformation occurs. And this is the Scorpio journey. We are tested, we have trials, but we emerge triumphant.

Use the power of the Scorpio New Moon to call in emotional security and self-mastery. Support may come from a spiritual path, a therapist's couch, or an understanding friend. Scorpio wants us to uncover our own darkness. In so doing, we may find the courage and strength to transform our lives and the capacity to open to others more deeply than we thought possible.
