New Moon in Cancer July 2020

This New Moon in Cancer encapsulates the global situation and our own personal vulnerability in one.  Of late, we may feel we have been torn between our need for comfort and security versus the expectation to adhere to rules and boundaries.   I dont know about you, but the rebellious streak in me is right at the fore!

Despite the restrictions upon our global freedoms at present, it’s still up to us to rebel peacefully and personally to put our lives back in order.  Our personal lives are entirely ours to master, no matter what is going on in the world.  What has been allowed to slide?

We must now take action and here’s why this particular new moon is a great time to do so. Cancer is a caring sign and when we care about something we can act responsibly  because we are emotionally invested in the outcome being a kind one.

We set good boundaries when we truly care about the consequences of the outcome as we are setting them.

Abuse of power has been rife in the world for so long, but in recent times  more and more of the power-corrupted structures and people have been exposed. Since this New Moon in Cancer rules over children and the vulnerable too, we can expect more corruption exposed. Darkness is being brought into the light to be expunged and healed.

Saturn (visible in the night sky so brightly this month) is very much the planet of “what goes around comes around.” Especially for people and institutions that have abused their power – more so for those who have taken advantage of the vulnerable.

On an individual and personal level today, we need to examine and meditate on taking back our personal power from anything oppressive – be it our own behaviours and patterns or external oppression.

Really check in with ourselves to ask what is it that overpowers and restricts us in our own personal spiritual evolution?

To do that, we have to

  • identify and sit with whatever comes up that needs attention,
  • create supporting habits to nurture ourselves

From that place of caring and understanding, we can find better rules and create better support systems.

But we first have to face our vulnerability. Only then we can transform it into true power.

Here’s some new Moon Meditation advice to help you remember who you are and feel powerful again. Or maybe experience your own power for the first time. Today is a huge opportunity to remind yourself it is safe to be powerful in a loving and kind way.

Brightest New Moon Blessings!

New Moon in Gemini

New Moon

The New Moon is the Dark Moon, when the night sky is dark and there is no Moon visible in the sky. This is a time of magic, of darkness – not the darkness that keeps you up at night, but the darkness of transformation, of unknowing. Of being the seed of potential.

Today’s New Moon is in Gemini, and Gemini is never boring!

It is a fun, expressive, intelligent energy and loves to help us with all forms of communication. Gemini is resourceful and helps us to make life in all aspects lighter and easier.

Feel the urge to draw, paint or write?

This is a good time to give full reign to your imagination.

Make space for your creativity today.

What are you dreaming into being?

There is magic in the unknown, if you surrender to it.

No pressure on self. 

How can you make it easier to just be in the joy of creating?

Think of New Moon energy like a seed that has been planted in the dark nurturing soil, uncertain of what’s to come or what it will turn out to be. No rush, all in time. There is magic in being that seed that is waiting to sprout. It is how all creation begins and the New Moon is a time to honour and tune in to our creative powers.

As the New Moon falls in Gemini, the sign of the twins, we may also feel pulled in two directions. We may feel our heart wanting to go one way, and our mind wanting to go the other. Some of us may even feel a sense of confusion, loss or hopelessness. It is temporary. The dark night can seem long, but the light will always return.

This is a powerful time for ritual work, for setting intentions, and for thinking about our long term plans.

What do you want?

What are you willing to do to make it happen?

Trust your inner wisdom, retreat within. Give yourself permission to wait until the right answer floats up and you are met with knowledge.

Helpful crystals today:

Fluorite for focus and direction,

Any kind of quartz for amplification,

Rainforest jasper for manifestation.

If you feel the need for some guidance, I have 30 or 60 minute Intuitive Life Path calls available next week so if you’d like to talk with me, just click on Talking Therapies and book yourself in here.

With love, as always and New Moon Blessings!

New Moon in Taurus

New Moon

This New Moon in Taurus encourages us to be grounded today, to slow the pace, rest, reflect, take stock and creatively think how we may best use all of the resources available to us in life.

This moment is giving us the inspiration to think outside the box about how to call more abundance to us and manifest what we need for our highest and greatest good for ourselves and the areas of need we wish to contribute to in the wider world too.

Relationships, resources and looking after ourselves are firmly in focus, and given the circumstances affecting the world right now, all of these things have been more important than ever of late. We’ve had no choice in slowing down and simplifying all aspects of life lately.

Taurus is the sign most connected to the earth, helping us to feel that connection and love for all sentient beings upon her. I’ve never seen so many people out in our local woodland before, reconnecting with nature and taking the time to attune to the earth again. Maybe this is the moment that never would have come otherwise for many people, this enforced slowdown, holding the mirror up close at last and asking the difficult questions about how we feel about how we’ve been living and what we intend to do about it.

This New Moon asks us to take a look into the future. Old toxic ways and systems are being exposed for exactly what they are and always have been, they are crumbling and falling down just like The Tower card in tarot, they are falling down but will be rebuilt in new, powerful ways that respect balance.

So we must go within and ask:
What part can I play to re-shape and help build a better world that respects mother earth when we aren’t in quarantine anymore?

What have I been ignoring that must change?

What do I truly feel passionate about?

When was the last time I really listened to the effects within my body and mind when I am out in nature?

We have to be channels for new ways of working, to initiate change.

May we be clear channels to help bring about compassion, respect and grace for all beings in need, including mother earth.

Taurus is about pleasure too, place your awareness down to your sacral chakra for a moment. Do you feel joyful? How do you measure joy?

Maybe it is having time to yourself?
Having time with the children you love where it’s just about laughter and play feeling peace?
Being in nature, nurturing plants or spending time with trees?
Laughter?
Hugs?
Creating something?

Maybe you measure joy differently?
How would it feel if I might start to measure joy via simpler things?
What kind of pleasure and beauty do I want to invite in through this next lunar cycle?

Pleasure can come from simplicity – eating good meals, taking long walks, being in comfy clothes, snuggling, being with nature.

What kind of joy beauty and pleasure am I inviting in?
How can I create joy beauty and pleasure for others?

Meditating on these questions will really help us to mentally emotionally, spiritually and energetically navigate this time that we’re going through together.

Embodying what we need is helpful too. If you need love, send it out, unconditionally.

Try sending this message to your body right now that you are in a state of comfort, joy, inner beauty and pleasure.

Your body responds to your thoughts…
I feel beauty
I sense beauty
I create beauty
I experience beauty
Everything that is beautiful surrounds me
I appreciate beauty
I attract beauty
I enjoy the experience of being here
I am grateful for the ability to perceive joy and pleasure

Now take a deep breath.

Get comfortable and set these powerful intentions now.
(Yes, you do hold this power!)
You can say this out loud, you can write it down, you can just absorb it in your mind:

I welcome and I claim health and well-being for all sentient beings.
I welcome and claim financial prosperity from sources seen and unseen with no detriment to any living being.
I claim the easement of all burdens that this time has caused all beings and mother earth.
I wish us all joy
I wish us all moments of silly laughter and the ability to feel a child like sense of renewal and optimism
I wish us all passion.
I wish us all a sense of connectedness to those we love and may be separated from in quarantine at this time.
I wish us a strong sense of what we stand for
May we all feel powerful and confident in what we’re doing and who we are.
I call in our collective energy and our collective wisdom to empower these intentions.
May our intentions come to pass at the perfect time and in full and deep alignment with our purpose for being on this planet at this time in this incarnation.
May our intentions come to pass in alignment with the highest good of all beings.
And so it is.

I recorded a healing drumming session for new moon last night and put it on YouTube – collect the healing and enjoy here.

Today’s New Moon Energy Report

The new moon or “dark of the moon” occurs when the side of the moon that is facing us on Earth is not illuminated by the sun because they rise and set together in unison.

Today we have a new moon in Aquarius – with a few extra planetary influences we need to consider!

This is a very changeable moment, so if you or ones you love are prone to mood swings then be prepared, today may be one of those days! However… With a focused mind and stable emotions, you can react quickly and decisively to changing conditions.

Mercury sextile Mars gives the quick thinking and reflexes needed to react to unexpected change. It can make you driven to succeed at something you set your mind and will to, a stronger than usual sense of purpose and initiative. You can achieve a lot in a short amount of time, with the courage and determination to take on just about anything.

Venus sextile Jupiter brings opportunity, breakthroughs in achievement and helps calm things down. Like Mercury sextile Mars, it also brings a little ooh la la… a hefty helping of charisma and the ability to charm, which will help to relieve any relationship tensions you may be experiencing with loved ones. Most of all, this harmonious aspect fosters warmth, love, and understanding. It brings the prospect of renewed or new love and partnerships that will be genuine and mutually respectful and beneficial, everyone looking forward in the same direction.

You may find you’ve been having very intense and vivid emotionally charged or dramatic dreams too. Don’t read too much into them today, your human emotions and fears are just being processed!

Any new moon is a great time to meditate on setting new intentions, starting new projects and for giving thanks for the existing skills and abilities we carry. It is literally the best time to sow new seeds in any area of our lives that need a breath of fresh air, rejuvenation and creative growth. We can focus on new beginnings and transform doubt, worry and anxiety into hope, action, strength, courage and peace.

We can focus our intention on personal goals in our career, family harmony, improved relationships with partners or friends, health, finances, a calmer home, or any aspect of our earthly existence that needs new energy. We can set out our intent to explore new avenues on our spiritual path, or ask to find fresh new understanding of any recent events that have impacted our lives.

We can also focus on wider issues, such as bringing new ideas and energetic input to those who can bring about world peace, an abundance of food for all on the planet, to help humanity find a new way to be living in harmony with the earth, nurturing home environments for everyone, healthy relationships, a world where diversity is embraced. Wording our intent is incredibly important, we are not focusing on lack, e.g. hunger, homelessness, war, etc. We are focusing on the new, creating, harnessing that fresh new chance of creativity, instead of that which we may fear.

How to meditate with new moon energy:

1. Begin by preparing a sacred space, be that inside your mind and/or by creating a space to meditate in at home. Peace and quiet and being undisturbed for the duration is important.

2. Ground yourself and place protection around yourself in whichever way you feel comfortable with.

3. Light a white candle (a mini birthday candle, tea light or short beeswax candle is ideal) and as you do, give thanks and state your intent that you are about to open to receive the guidance of whomever you believe in, be that your guides, angels, God(s) or Goddesses, Buddha etc.

Welcome them and give them permission to assist you in creating your sacred intentions, and helping you manifest your visions and ideas into reality. Light incense and use herbs or oils if you wish, ideally star anise, juniper, valerian, cedar or sandalwood. Make sure the candle is placed somewhere it can burn down safely ideally without being blown out.

4. Write down your sacred intention for this meditation. It can also be helpful to draw symbols or sigils if you are so inclined e.g if you are a Reiki practitioner you may wish to draw the power symbol Cho Ku Rei. Make it something that represents your vision. If you keep a psychic development journal you can make these new moon meditations a part of your ongoing entries. Channel your mental and emotional energies into your written intention, and state your intention clearly, making sure that it is worded with no expense or detriment to anyone else.

5. If you are meditating in a group, visualise a bright cord of light (your chosen colour) connecting you from the solar plexus to all in your group, and to the powers guiding you, allowing yourself to feel each connection linking with yours, allowing the illusion of separation to melt away.

6. Meditate for as long as you feel comfortable, holding crystals if you wish. I like to use selenite, moonstone, clear quartz, carnelian or labradorite.

7. Close down with a disconnection of the cords, visualise each person in your group disconnecting and returning to their individual purpose with clarity. Give thanks to all connected for the experiences you received.

8. Repeat your chosen grounding ritual and reinforce your protection. Allow the candle to burn down safely somewhere without being blown out if you can. (Tea lights usually burn 2-4 hours, or use a birthday cake mini candle. for a very short burn time)

Place the paper you’ve written your intentions on in a sacred place (altar, journal, Book of Shadows etc) until the moon becomes full at which time you can review your intentions. You can check in at different times in the following moon cycle to see if your progress corresponds with the waxing or waning energies of the moon.

More power to you, brightest blessings and until next time, lots of love…

New Moon in Libra

On 28th September 2019 we have a New Moon in Libra, its also a supermoon so be prepared for that extra intense pull on our bodies and auric fields!

Here’s what to expect and how to harness this energy:

We are emerging from a brief period where relationships or legal/authoritarian communications may have felt like much harder work than usual. If you’ve felt taken for granted, manipulated or less than fully loved, we’ve had a little planetary alignment interfering there too. So this new moon is perfect for taking back power in any unbalanced areas.

Self care is super important to heal through this blip – remember to use all the spiritual tools available to us. We have to remind ourselves we are part of the one consciousness and as part of that collective energy we can tap into that bliss and contribute unconditional love whenever we wish.

This new supermoon energy is wonderful for manifesting loving relationships and new  supportive and kind friendships. Visualise and meditate on the kind of people you wish to attract into your life, think about how they live, how they hold energy for others, where you would find these people who are truly your tribe.

Libra is the sign of balance and partnership and is connected to Venus, which I’m sure you know, is all about love. Not just romantic, passionate love, but compassion for ourselves, others, animals and the natural world too.

As we approach this loving new moon,  it is a good time to be thinking about how we relate to others and the important relationships we have.

Ask Quan Yin, Goddess of Compassion for her wisdom and presence as you seek guidance this new moon. You can call upon the Archangels (especially Jophiel) and all love goddess energies too:

Am I giving too much?

Am I taking too much?

Am I being fair to others? Are they being fair to me?

Where do I need better balance?

Do I need to take back my power to redress an imbalance?

How may I feel unconditional love in my most challenging relationships?

What do I need to bring into my relationships to improve them now?

SETTING INTENTIONS THIS NEW MOON

Where might you need new creative energy flow and new beginnings? 

Create a list, vision board, piece of artwork while thinking about only whatever you wish to create new energy and passion for.

Make this new moon energy your ally, and remember I am here if there are any energy adjustments I can help you with. 

Bright Blessings
