New Moon Energy Report

This is a beautiful new moon in Virgo. Such positive energy abounds. This is a time of being truly grateful and optimistic despite the challenges we all face right now.

How do we forge a new, kinder world if we can’t sit in gratitude and intuitive hope?

Today, we have to trust ourselves.

We are attracting and manifesting deep soul nurturing purpose and connections, new people coming in, new depths of connection with our existing ride or die true friends, better relationships all round. We need to be honest and break the cycle with toxic people, and be grateful for those who enhance and improve our lives by being in our circles. We can cut old, corroded cords and forge shiny new ones with people we love and wish to have improved connection with. But as mentioned, we must not be afraid to make room for new people by distancing from those who take and have no concept of friendship being a two way street.

Ways to harness today’s amazing energy:

Keeping an open mind and not being afraid to say “YES!” to things that take you out of your comfort zone will reward you.

Make an honest and heart based assessment of what is working for you in your life, and what is no longer serving your highest good. Write it out, really be honest with yourself. The veil will lift today if you have been deluding yourself about something being better for you than it is. My free guided meditation Cord Cutting with Archangel Michael will be useful.

Face your fears – are they valid? Is it time to be bolder?

Trust your intuition. Meditate on a question, you will have the right answers, you will have more certainty of which direction to take.

Are you convincing yourself to be a diluted version of who you are crying out to be?

What will take you a step closer to being truly, authentically who you are and wish to be more day to day? Write down one single action you can make today. Maybe a phone call, or signing up for a course? Do it!

Virgo energy is all about what feels right and correct to us. Your own intuition and bullshit meter in your solar plexus will be bang on today, trust yourself above all others!

New Moon in Cancer July 2021

New Moon

Emotions, emotions…

Am I safe?

Do I feel secure?

Do I feel nurtured?

Am I making my own self-care a priority?

We are feeling ALL the feels today. Even the shadowy ones we may not like to admit to. But it’s OK, if we let them out in a constructive and kind way.

In fact, kindness in everything we do today is advised, because we may say or do something without meaning to if we let the negative emotions fly out unchecked.

If you have some rose or smoky quartz, black moonstone, selenite or carnelian crystals, these will soothe you, keep them close by.

Meditate on the following:

What have I achieved since last new moon?

What do I wish to achieve during this next moon cycle?

How can I manifest what is for my highest good?

What are my emotions telling me today?

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 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.

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…
