Welcome friends,
And welcome to a new journey with the magic of the moon.
This 12 part series will follow the new moon in the cycle of the zodiac.
Each practice will start in the same way,
We'll take a chance to find a restful place,
A place where we can find calm and quiet in meditation.
And then from there I'll guide you through a few ideas that connect to a specific new moon and zodiac sign that you may use for guidance,
For inspiration.
It may be this practice can guide a ritual or some journal work that you are working with.
And it is my hope that these sessions will hold some interest and some inspiration for you.
The new moon is the darkest time of each lunar month,
And within each month the moon will move into the same constellation as the sun.
This lunar solar meeting is what we call a new moon.
The new moons are times for beginnings,
Stillness and introspection.
A time to sit in this darkness,
To reflect within stillness.
Through the moon's journey of orbiting the earth each lunar month,
The moon will spend a little over two days passing through each zodiac sign.
This means that each month the moon's new phase coincides with a different zodiac sign.
And each sign has its own element and seasonal attributes.
We also have seasons of each zodiac sign known as our birth sign.
While the new moon is in each sign,
We may feel the energy of this sign,
Potentially more so if it is your birth sign as well.
And all new moons are a great time to make plans,
Particularly for the next six months,
After which the full moon will rise in the same sign,
Completing a cycle of our journey.
This is a starting point to consider the sign of each new moon and the kind of beautiful new moon magic you may wish to explore.
But before we journey with a specific sign of the zodiac,
Let's just take our time to relax and settle into a restful place.
We may feel called to lay down,
Wrapped in blankets.
We may wish to be seated.
We may wish to have a notebook and pen nearby to write down our ideas,
Or simply to see where the journey takes us today.
It may be that you are enjoying this meditation on the specific new moon of the zodiac with which this meditation is titled.
Or it may be you're simply journeying to that new moon in your mind's eye.
As always,
With meditation and with magic,
It is your intention that matters.
So do not worry about taking this meditation at exactly the right time or in the right place.
There is always a way to journey to magic.
So when we have found our restful place upon the earth,
Perhaps we close the eyes or let the gaze be soft.
Allowing an easefulness of body and breath,
Unhurried and calm.
As we begin to let the noise and busyness of the day fall away.
We begin to let the noise and busyness of the day fall away.
As we begin to let the noise and busyness of the day fall away.
The new moons of the coming season are those of winter.
The new moons in the dark months yule and invoke.
Here we can learn that the dark is not something to fear.
But something within which we can find our stillness and our strength.
It is the time for turning inwards,
Both physically and spiritually.
In this quiet time we can make our plans for the coming year and reflect on what we have achieved so far.
Just as nature is resting,
It is an excellent time to enjoy rest and cosy evenings by the fire.
Spells,
Rituals and yoga practice around this time may explore release and letting go.
Our focus in this practice is the new moon in Capricorn.
This zodiac sign moves through the months of December and January and is connected to the element of Earth.
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere,
We are now in the darkest time of the year.
So when the new moon comes along,
We are in the deepest dark,
The time of winter and shadow.
But within this darkness and stillness,
There is time for us to make our plans with care and balance.
To plan out small steps that can help guide us towards more expansive journeys and beautiful transformations even when we cannot see the light ahead.
And as the time comes for me to leave you here,
You may wish to rest and find stillness.
You may wish to plan out in your journal small steps to start your journey.
But within this time of the dark,
There is time to find our inspiration,
To connect to our dreams and nurture our own inner light.
Have a nice day,
My dear ones.
May you always be guided by the light of the moon.
Thank you.
Thank you.
