Strawberry Super Moon – June 2021

Welcome to the Strawberry Super Moon coming to you on June 24th, 2021, at 2:40 pm Eastern. This moon comes with a lot of other planetary events. We have 4 planets in retrograde, plus the moon falls into the sign of Capricorn in Cancer season.

In other words, things are highly emotional, everything feels amplified, energy is intense, and we are making quantum leaps in our light code upgrades.

I know it’s a lot, and maybe too much for some, but stick with me here and let’s find out what you can do to understand and ease this energy.

Strawberry Super Moon – Healing with the Moon

Healing with the Moon

The Full Moon is a great time to heal the past, forgive yourself or others, and show gratitude. This kind of healing is essential at this moon phase because as we move through the phases and reach the New Moon, we need to make space in the body for manifesting with the moon.

If we are stuck in old emotions, behaviours, or negative emotions, we will not have the space to bring in the new. This will actually cause us to subconsciously attract more of the things that we do not want. We attract more of whatever is the most prominent in our minds and body.

To help you make space, I highly recommend adopting a forgiveness and gratitude practice for the week of the full moon; Three days before, the day of, and three days after.

What is a Super Moon?

What is a Super Moon

A supermoon happens when the full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth in its orbit. Supermoons make the moon appear a little brighter and closer than normal, although the difference is hard to spot with the naked eye.

On the energy side of things, a Super Moon will amplify the Full Moon’s energy. That being said, depending on your own energy, it will depend on what will amplify for you. If you are in pain and suffering – it will amplify. If you are in peace and harmony – it will amplify. So what energy do you choose?

I know some people’s situations are difficult, and it doesn’t seem like an easy choice, but even just choosing to heal and move through your pain will help you amplify more positive energies into your aura.

A Super Moon is the catalyst of letting go of old beliefs and systems that are no longer working for you. As a result, it can help you awaken your higher potential.

During the Super Moon, you can expect

  • illuminated insight
  • Lucid dreams
  • Heightened intuition
  • Increased emotions
  • Electric energy
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Lucid dreaming
  • Synchronicities
  • Awareness

Things to do on this Super Moon

  1. Connect with emotions
  2. Take a moon bath
  3. Meditate
  4. Energy healing
  5. Recharge aura and chakras
  6. Manifest desires
  7. Release negativity
  8. Get creative
  9. Connect with nature
  10. Boost feminine energy

Planets in Retrograde & Super Moon Energies

Planetary Energies

In the intro, I mentioned that there are 4 Planets in Retrograde. Often we hear retrograde and think about all of the negative things that it could imply. The most known retrograde is Mercury, and we all have negative associations with that, such as technology and communications experience difficulties during mercury retrograde. In the case of these four retrograde planets, it is all good!

Let’s explore which planets and what energy is bringing into the Super Moon, then we will dive into the specific energies of this Super Moon.

Planets in Retrograde

  1. Jupiter – When Jupiter is in retrograde, it is generally a positive thing, although it does depend on where the planet falls in your chart. More often than not, it is a good thing, though. Jupiter in retrograde will magnify your inner-growth, Self-improvement, question your ideas and beliefs, and lots of brainstorming. For the collective, this is bringing an unravelling of old systems. We will see a change in direction from society soon, and I can feel that energy begins to rise. 
  2. Saturn – When Saturn is in retrograde, it allows us to slow down, set boundaries, review goals, and overcome challenges. The collective further supports Jupiter in the unravelling of old systems, both belief and governmental.
  3. Neptune – With Neptune in retrograde, we may experience lucid dreaming, which the Super Moon will amplify, Increased sensitivity – so to my empaths and sensitives, please keep yourselves grounded and spend some much-needed time in nature for the next little while. Creativity is increased at this time, so give yourself some space and time to allow your creativity to flow. Neptune in retrograde will also bring a psychic overload; the Universe is calling out and getting a little pushier to deliver the message. The sooner we can all come together and start breaking down those old systems, the sooner we can get back to normalcy.
  4. Pluto – Pluto in retrograde is further supporting this breakdown in old systems and beliefs. It wants us to begin a purge of our habits and addictions that are no longer serving us. It is going to give us penetrative insights into our boundaries and enable us to make precise decisions. This energy is also asking that you declutter your life and home. So, if things are feeling like too much in your mind and home, start clearing things out. One of the best ways to do this is with the guided visualization meditation that I created for the Summer Solstice, but the practice remains useful through this full moon. So if you didn’t get the link from the last blog, check it out here.

Super Moon Energies

Firstly, this Super Moon is coming in with the sign of Capricorn during Cancer season, so E-M-O-T-I-O-N-A-L. Get ready to face your emotions because Capricorn is not having any BS whatsoever. It wants you to face all that you are feeling head-on.

We are getting light code upgrades right now, and it is so vital for the surprise of humanity that we face those things. Without it, we are just delaying the possibilities of a bright, brave new world.

The words that come to me when I am considering this moon and all of the planetary things going in are:

  • Culmination
  • Closure
  • Completion

The full moon is going got shine a light, or illuminate, things that you have been trying to hide from or things that you just straight up buried to get away from. Nay nay, not today, friends. Dig it up, let it out, get your closure, and end the cycle of pain.

With this energy happening, it’s essential to do the forgiveness and gratitude practices as mentioned above, but also

  • meditate
  • set intentions
  • visualize your future – dream bigger, dream bolder
  • Don’t give any attention to the old that is fading away. Just focus on the new and the intentions you set.

This energy could have you facing some relationship issues, and it’s basically telling you to choose; get closer to the person or let it go. Stop wavering on the edge. It isn’t helping anyone. Take the time to observe your feelings, allow yourself to feel it all, but ultimately you need to make a choice; all in or all out.

The Ritual

The Ritual

The ritual for this full moon is going to have a few parts to it. Start with journaling the questions below, then a forgiveness practice, gratitude, and a couple of other recommendations.

  1. Have I been ambitious to the point of ruthlessness?
  2. Have I been obsessed with work to the detriment of my personal life?
  3. Have I been hard-headed, hard-nosed, or too hard on others?
  4. Have I allowed my head to overrule my heart?
  5. Have I been planning my life enough? Too much?
  6. What emotions and/or behaviours keep repeating? (observe how/if it is serving you, if it doesn’t serve you – try to let it go)
  7. What intentions would I like to set for the next month?
  8. What are your biggest dreams that you would like to come true when you look ahead to your future?

First, to prepare for this practice, use the questions above to reflect on and journal your results. This is something you can easily do before the full moon if you want to take some time to get clear on what you are ready or willing to forgive and anything you may be willing to release or take responsibility for.

Next, you will head over to the Forgiveness Practice, then the Gratitude Guide.

On the night of the Full Moon, bring your list(s) with you outside, meditate, then burn your forgiveness list to send it out into the universe.

Below are some other things you can do to support yourself at this time.

Additional supports

Moon Water – You will notice that I will recommend this every time. Moon water is a powerful way to keep the full Moon energy flowing after it has gone, and it is super simple to make.

  1. Get a glass jar or bowl that can be covered, fill with water.
  2. Place water outside overnight to soak up the energy
  3. In the morning, place the water in your fridge – drink from it any time you feel the need for some illumination.
  4. If you have a spray bottle, put some of your moon water in it and spritz your room or space. This will help keep the energy positive in your space and remind you of the beautiful forgiveness and gratitude practice you did.

Crystals – two things I want to mention about crystals. First, get all your crystals outside to charge for the night. If you cannot put them out safely, a windowsill that gets moonlight will also work. Crystals can cleanse and charge under a full moon. The Full Moon can amplify its energies as well. Secondly, I have some crystal recommendations to use specifically for this moon energy.

FULL MOON IN LIBRA 2021 – SUPER MOON – WORM MOON

Hey friends! Today we are chatting about the Full Moon in Libra, and yes, it is a Super Moon! 

This moon will be most beneficial for the air and fire signs; Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.

Super Moon season is upon us, and I am very excited. The energies are amplified, and we are coming into some fantastic Universal Energy. 

Today we will learn what a Super Moon is and what energy the sign of Libra will be bringing into our consciousness.

Full Moon in Libra – Libra Energies

Full Moon in Libra - Libra Energies

It’s important to know what positive and negative traits will influence you through this phase of the moon. It’s vital that if any of these traits bring a challenge for you, you do your best to embody it. On the negative side, if you feel you already possess those traits, it will be amplified through this moon if you don’t take care of your energy.

The best way to prepare for the moon is continuous grounding and meditating. Check out my meditations on YouTube to help you through.

Let’s begin with the positive traits of the sign Libra.

Positive traits:
  • Diplomatic
  • Fair
  • Idealistic
  • Social
  • Clever
Negative Traits:
  • Indecisive
  • Non-confrontational
  • Self-pitying
  • Unreliable
  • Vain

The message behind the Libra Moon is to remind yourself to see the beauty in life that surrounds you. 

Balance what you need and what you need to do for others to keep them happy – within your boundaries, of course. 

You may find yourself evaluating relationships and partnerships at this time. Make sure you consider all sides and see your own potential darkness in the matters at hand.

What is the Meaning of the Worm Moon?

Full Moon in Libra - Worm Moon

The Worm Moon signifies the last moon for the first quarter of the year. It is a transitional period of new beginnings. 

This is the spring of your life; what seeds do you intend to plant for harvest in the fall?

As the temperature warms, the ground begins to thaw, and Earthworms begin to appear, heralding the return of robins. 

The Earthworm, as a spirit animal at this time, is asking you to dig deeper, look within to discover your true strengths and potentials. After all, with spring coming, it’s the time of change – New Beginnings. Don’t fear the unknown; good things are to come. 

Most moons have different names as well. It does depend on your geographic location. Native Americans considered it the Crow Moon – this means when you hear the caw of the crows, it signifies the end of winter. 

The Full Moon in Libra Ritual 

Full Moon Ritual - Worm Moon

The ritual for this full moon is going to have a few parts to it. Start with journaling the questions below, then a forgiveness practice, gratitude, and a couple of other recommendations.

  1. Have I been too concerned with appearances in general?
  2. Have I been thinking too much about others and neglecting my own needs?
  3. Have I been too easily influenced, gullible, or indecisive?
  4. Have I been living my life through someone else?
  5. Have I been seeking validation outside of myself in any way?
  6. Have I spent enough time beautifying my life? Such as spaces in the home, outside the home?

First, to prepare for this practice, use the questions above to reflect on and journal your results. This is something you can easily do before the full moon if you want to take some time to get clear on what you are ready or willing to forgive and anything you may be willing to release or take responsibility for.

Forgiveness Practice

Full Moon in Libra - Forgiveness Practice

Now that the journaling process is done and you have made a list, or the “forgiveness list,” it is time to start the forgiveness process.

  1. Have your page with the list ready
  2. Cleanse the space with Sage or Palo Santo
  3. Sit comfortably, and get ready to begin.
  4. Take long, deep breaths until you feel calm and at ease, send breath to any tension in the body as well.
  5. Close your eyes and begin to visualize each person or event listed that you are willing to forgive.
  6. Visualize each person or event being wrapped up in a bubble – you get to chose the colour.
  7. See all of the bubbles and begin to create a good feeling towards them.
  8. Say silently or out loud, “I forgive you.”
  9. Now see all of the bubbles float away. If you have any bubbles that are having trouble leaving, forgive yourself for not being ready to release them, and we can try again at the next moon.
  10. Take your forgiveness list and burn it; this will signify and solidify the release.
  11. When you are ready, open your eyes, and recite this to close the forgiveness practice and bring in karma release.
    “Under the glorious Full Moon, I forgive everything, everyone, every experience, every memory of the past or present that needs forgiveness. I forgive everyone positively. I also forgive myself for past mistakes. The universe is love, and I am forgiven and governed by love alone. Love is now adjusting my life. Realizing this, I abide in peace.”

Gratitude Practice

Full Moon in Libra - Gratitude Practice

Now that we have forgiven, we have created space within our bodies. We want to fill these spaces with gratitude; this will raise our vibration and attract more joy, happiness, and love.

  1. Take a moment to think of at least three people, places, events, etc., that you are grateful for; feel the joy run through your body as you begin to think about all that you have to be grateful for.
  2. Write out a list of what/who you are grateful for.
  3. Read your list out loud or in your head three times.
  4. Now say out loud or in your head, “I know that I am blessed, and I live my life within that knowing. I live my life with gratitude and from my heart. I am a conscious creator, and being grateful is at the core of my being for balance.”

Additional supports

Moon Water – You will notice that I will recommend this every time. Moon water is a powerful way to keep the full Moon energy flowing after it has gone, and it is super simple to make.

  1. Get a glass jar or bowl that can be covered, fill with water.
  2. Place water outside overnight to soak up the energy

New Moon In Pisces 2021

We are entering the Zodiac calendar’s final sign, and there is a lot of energy going on Universally, right. The New Moon in Pisces is bringing big changes and endings of cycles. With it being the final Zodiac of the calendar, we are coming into amazing new beginnings as the new astrological calendar begins.

Get prepared and allow the energy to guide you through your journey ahead. There is much to know and much to gain.

Energies in the Universe

New Moon in Pisces - Universal Energies

Since the Universe’s energies are quite intense at this time, I wanted to dedicate a section to focus on all of that is happening right now.

As it stands astrologically, we are in a very high Aquarian energy, and this theme will continue as we transition into the new age of Aquarius. However, at this age, we are coming into our higher minds and higher self. All of humanity is in consciousness, evolution and revolution.

We are shifting ourselves into human 2.0 versions. The clairs are opening up to us more easily. This is your clairvoyance (clear seeing), Clairaudience (clear hearing), Clairsentience (clear feeling), Clairalience (clear smelling), Claircognizance (clear knowing). Having this inner knowing and connection is here to serve us because we are also entering an entirely new astrological cycle that will go on for the next 200 years.

During this shift, you will find yourself getting surges of energy, and this could make you feel dizzy, out of sorts, nauseous, and exhausted. Evolving is a tiring business, but it’s like hibernation before the spring. Resting to rise anew – new beginnings and new consciousness.

Universally around the 10th of March, there will be many truths that are coming to light thanks to the sun being in conjunction with Neptune. Any shadows, secrets, or lies will begin to be illuminated for all to see.

We will have 3 planets in Aquarius and 4 planets in Pisces, which will spark some highly creative energies universally, and it’s also going to allow us a deeper connection with the divine. Getting answers when we ask questions, especially when we are sitting in high frequency such as joy, gratitude, love, and peace.

New Moon Energy

New Moon in Pisces - New Moon Energies

The New Moon always brings a level of excitement. It is the start of a new Lunar cycle and represents new beginnings. Wipe the slate clean of whatever did not work for you throughout the last Lunar cycle. With this being the last New Moon of the astrology calendar, it is also a great time to set positive intentions. Honestly, the sky is the limit here! Dream as big as you can get.

Speaking of dreams in the New Moon in Pisces energy, the dreams are going to get intense. I highly recommend that you have a dream journal next to your bed, and if you wish, before going to sleep at night, as for answers or direction in your dreams. Within the first 3 nights, you will indicate what you need to do or your questions answered.

Sometimes the New Moon’s energy can feel like a quiet time where the night seems so long, and it can sometimes bring about dark energy – the New Moon is so small and dark in this phase and hardly visible to the naked eye.

The energy of a New Moon can be challenging for some because, as humans, we can sense change, and it is in our nature to run or avoid change. However, if you can get into the energy that the Moon is asking for, your transition will be more smooth. We are coming up to the Spring Equinox, which is the very definition of change. Be willing to let go of fear and old programs that would normally hold you back. This is your time to shine and get super clear on your intentions ahead. Asking for direction before sleep so it can come in a dream will really help you accomplish this.

New Moons are the perfect time to set out new goals, intentions, and wishes. After all, through the darkness of a New Moon, we can become reborn through our intentions and wishes.

In the New Moon in Pisces 2021, there are some specific energies that you can work with to get a greater result from your wishes.

Pisces Energy

New Moon in Pisces - Pisces Energies

We have covered a lot of the energies out there so far, but let’s now focus on what specifically Pisces is bringing to us, plus we will view the traits, both positive and negative of the zodiac so we will know what to expect in the New Moon in Pisces 2021.

The Pisces energy is very connected to the Etherial. It is the connection to the source where we get to see beyond duality and polarity. So seeing beyond right and wrong, good and bad, etc. Pisces is a very emotional sign, as it is a water sign connected to human emotions. You may find yourself extra sensitive at this time. It may not be all waterworks type of sensitivity, but as mentioned above, it could be about connecting with your gifts – the Clairs.

Pisces encourages humanity to find the heart space and to operate from there. It’s about moving beyond logic and into feeling what you need. Listening to the body for cues and clues. Becoming so comfortable with the body that you will, eventually, become innately attuned to it, that you will know when something is brewing before it fully emerges.

Begin to recognize and see that your inner-state of feeling can be your guiding light through anything. If you see yourself struggling with lower vibrational energies, what can you do? Starve out what you don’t want anymore, and figure out what that is by coming into the self and using your feelings to guide that.

Say you want to stop feeding into the fear of the events on the outside world. How can you starve that energy? You could do that by cutting off sources that make you feel that way. Removing or taking breaks from social media, mainstream media, etc. You can then truly focus on what you actually want to attract more of in your life. This is manifestation, friends!

Focus on creation. There is much creative energy flowing through this sign and Universally as well. This is a great time for writers, artists, and other creators to help lead and guide the consciousness in this New Moon in Pisces 2021.

Let’s take a look now at the traits of the Pisces.

Positive traits

  • Creative
  • Mysterious
  • Empathetic
  • Generous
  • Intuition
  • Sensitivity
  • Devotion
  • Compassion
  • Inspiration
  • Forgiveness

Negative Traits

  • Overly emotional
  • Impressionable
  • Closed off
  • Moodiness
  • Laziness
  • Idealism

New Moon in Pisces Ritual

New Moon in Pisces - New Moon Ritual

The Ritual! This is probably my favourite part of these blogs! I love creating rituals that will help people expand into their greatness.

Firstly, I always recommend a journaling practice daily, but especially during significant moon phases, New Moon-Full Moon. I will provide some journal prompts below to get you started, then you will find a numbered list; this is the actual ritual.

The journal prompts will give you some great questions to reflect upon and maybe bring something to light that you can work on through this New Moon.

Journal Prompts

  • What fears have I been holding on to that I want to remove from my body?
  • What emotional healing do I still need to face?
  • Can I surrender my future to the will of the Divine? If no, what can I do to attune with Divine energy and allow it to flow through me?
  • Are there shadows or secrets that I fear coming to light?
  • Do I readily listen and ask for Divine guidance?
  • If I could ask the Divine to shed light on any question I have, what would that be?

The Ritual

1. Get Moon water ready. You can do this in a couple of ways. I have been leaning more towards the first way I will explain, but listen to yourself on what you think resonates more with you.
– Drinkable Moon Water. For this one, you are just setting out a glass jar of water with a lid outside overnight to absorb the Moon’s energy. In the morning, bring it in, and drink some. This will help supercharge the energetic body and raise the vibe, which allows the ritual to be more effective. Any water you have saved, keep it in the fridge and drink when you need a “pick me up.”
– Fragrant Moon Water – This will not be drinkable Moon Water, but no less effective. Same idea as above but this time, we are adding things to the water. Get yourself a glass jar or bowl – make sure it can be covered. Add in crystals, fresh or dried herbs, flowers, essential oils, etc. Whatever you are called to. Put it out under the Moon overnight. In the morning, remove all items from the water, and strain the water into a spray bottle. Spray yourself and your spaces with the water to invite the energy in and through you. This also raises the vibe and increases the effectiveness of your ritual and wishes.

2. Smudge your space that you will be doing in the ritual. You can use any smudging material, but I always suggest Palo Santo – it’s my favourite

3. Get into the journaling – use the prompts and anything else that may come to mind or any other questions you want to ask yourself at this time. Allow your intuition to guide you through this.

4. Do the New Moon Wishes exercise

  • 1. Show gratitude for all that you do have in your life right now at this moment.
  • 2. Play some frequency music. Find the Hz you are looking for by googling. As an example, let’s say your new moon wish is to be more spiritually connected. Google “frequency for spiritual connection,” from there, you can likely select a YouTube video or search the 852 Hz for connection on any of your favourite music streaming platforms. Light a candle or incense.
  • 3. Choose up to 10 wishes or intentions for the four weeks of the Lunar cycle. For this month, also add in 10 more for the year ahead. Get as specific as you can. If you are having trouble narrowing it down to precisely what you want, I encourage you to do some personal development practices, such as Reiki, EFT, books, etc.
  • 4. Write the wishes on paper. Express it creatively if you wish. Different shapes of paper, different colours, stickers, just whatever you are called to do. The more energy you invest in this process, it shows the universe your desire and commitment.
  • 5. Read each item aloud – and prioritize. Choose the item(s) that are the most important to you. For your priority wishes or intentions, take this time to visualize it coming to reality and dive into the feelings of having that “thing” come true. Act as if it has already happened. What does that energy feel like? – Do this same process with the wishes or intentions for the year.
  • 6. Create affirmations that back up the wish(es), and write that down too.
  • 7. Look at each item and rate from 0-100 what you feel the likelihood is of it coming to be.
  • 8. Go over each item and set intentions on what you plan to do to help these wishes come to light. Sitting and waiting is not going to bring things to you. We have to be willing to take action and watch for guidance along the way.
  • 9. Meditate for a minimum of 15 minutes – and release your dreams into the universe.
  • 10. End your meditation by releasing any attachments to the outcome. Although we set goals, intentions, and wishes, it is not necessarily for our highest good. Try not to control the outcome; aid it with actionable steps; it will work If it is meant to work; if not – you will come across roadblocks or other signs.

5. At the beginning of the New Moon exercise, it states to show gratitude. After the exercise, I suggest coming back to gratitude. You can say the same gratitudes, or if new things came to mind, use those or add them to the list from earlier.

New Moon in Pisces Crystal Supports

Clear Quartz – You will likely see this crystal on every list. Clear Quartz is known as a master healer. It contains all of the colours of the rainbow and can trigger all of the chakras.

Herkimer Diamond – This crystal is amazing to use when you want to set an intention for the dream state. If you are trying to receive an answer through your dreams, the Herkimer Diamond can help send out the message.

Moonstone – Soothes emotions and aids with self-acceptance.

Chrysocolla – This crystal contains water energy, which supports you through a New Moon in a water sign. It’s also great to bring in compassion and emotional support.

Aquamarine – Is a great emotional balancer.

Apache Tear – Will aid with shadow self-healing and releasing old wounds. New Moon in Pisces 2021 - Crystal Supports

Full Moon in Virgo – Healing with the Moon

Healing with the Moon - Full Moon in Virgo 2021

The Full Moon is a great time to heal the past, forgive yourself or others, and show gratitude. This kind of healing is essential at this moon phase because as we move through the phases and reach the New Moon, we need to make space in the body for manifesting with the moon.

If we are stuck in old emotions, behaviours, or negative emotions, we will not have the space to bring in the new. This will actually cause us to subconsciously attract more of the things that we do not want. We attract more of whatever is the most prominent in our minds and body.

To help you make space, I highly recommend adopting a forgiveness and gratitude practice for the week of the full moon; Three days before, the day of, and three days after.

What is the meaning of a Full Snow Moon?

Snow Moon meaning and energies

All full moons have a name. It’s typically something that represents the time of year, what is plentiful or something that helped our ancestors keep track of time and seasons. For the Snow Moon, we know that February is a time of the most snowfall (depending on your location, of course), hence the name.

The energy that the Snow Moon brings is the second chapter of the new year – the second month. In this chapter, it’s the time to come out of rest and hibernation of winter as Spring will soon be dawning. It’s where the intentions that we set in the first chapter are beginning to gain momentum. We will begin to see the changes in our environment and life because spring is the very definition of change. This is not just the month of love but also new beginnings for the year ahead of us.

Full Moon in Virgo 2021 – Virgo Energies

Full Moon in Virgo 2021 energy

It’s important to know what traits, both positive and negative, will influence you through this phase of the moon. It’s vital that if any of these traits bring a challenge for you, you do your best to embody it. On the negative side, if you feel you already possess those traits, it will be amplified through this moon if you don’t take care of your energy.

The best way to prepare for the moon is continuous grounding and meditating. Check out my meditations on YouTube to help you through.

Let’s begin with the positive traits of the sign Virgo.

Positive traits:

  • Hard Working
  • Creative
  • Reliable
  • Patient
  • Kind
  • Logical
  • Observant
  • Faithful
  • Responsible
  • Modest
  • Action takers
  • Analytical
  • Organized
  • Humble

Next, we need to look at the negative traits because these energies will also be available to you if you allow them. You can always choose not to allow it in, but if there is any part of you that is open to it, the body will manifest it into your reality.

Negative Traits:

  • Critical
  • Stubborn
  • Over-thinking
  • Picky
  • Uptight
  • Short-tempered
  • Overly independent
  • Easily annoyed
  • Perfectionism
  • Skeptical

The message from Virgo energy wants you to remember the importance of being helpful to others. In what ways could you do more for the people in your life, or maybe even strangers. I love to remember that smiles and thank yous go a long way.

Balance

There is also a balance that is required. Remember that we are magnets, and we call in what we send out into the universe.

If your personality is more down to earth, allow yourself to dream, and on the opposite side, if you are usually a dreamer, take the time to come back to earth and ground for a while through this full moon. See duality for what it is and find the balance.

The Ritual

Full Moon in Virgo - Snow Moon Ritual

The ritual for this full moon is going to have a few parts to it. Start with journaling the questions below, then a forgiveness practice, gratitude, and a couple of other recommendations.

  1. Have I allowed perfectionism to stop my dreams from becoming a reality?
  2. Have I been too critical of myself or others?
  3. Have I been overly humble to the point of diminishing my value?
  4. What have I done to be of service to others over the last month/year?
  5. Have I been attracting negativity by worrying and complaining too much?
  6. Have I paid enough attention to the signs the Universe has provided me in the last month?
  7. Am I open and available to receive the messages of the Universe?

First, to prepare for this practice, use the questions above to reflect on and journal your results. This is something you can easily do before the full moon if you want to take some time to get clear on what you are ready or willing to forgive and anything you may be willing to release or take responsibility for.

Forgiveness Practice

Now that the journaling process is done and you have made a list, or the “forgiveness list,” it is time to start the forgiveness process.

  1. Have your page with the list ready
  2. Cleanse the space with Sage or Palo Santo
  3. Sit comfortably, and get ready to begin.
  4. Take long, deep breaths until you feel calm and at ease, send breath to any tension in the body as well.
  5. Close your eyes and begin to visualize each person or event listed that you are willing to forgive.
  6. Visualize each person or event being wrapped up in a bubble – you get to chose the colour.
  7. See all of the bubbles and begin to create a good feeling towards them.
  8. Say silently or out loud, “I forgive you.”
  9. Now see all of the bubbles float away. If you have any bubbles that are having trouble leaving, forgive yourself for not being ready to release them, and we can try again at the next moon.
  10. Take your forgiveness list and burn it; this will signify and solidify the release.
  11. When you are ready, open your eyes, and recite this to close the forgiveness practice and bring in karma release.
    “Under the glorious Full Moon, I forgive everything, everyone, every experience, every memory of the past or present that needs forgiveness. I forgive everyone positively. I also forgive myself for past mistakes. The universe is love, and I am forgiven and governed by love alone. Love is now adjusting my life. Realizing this, I abide in peace.”

Gratitude Practice

Now that we have forgiven, we have created space within our bodies. We want to fill these spaces with gratitude; this will raise our vibration and attract more joy, happiness, and love.

  1. Take a moment to think of at least three people, places, events, etc., that you are grateful for; feel the joy run through your body as you begin to think about all that you have to be grateful for.
  2. Write out a list of what/who you are grateful for.
  3. Read your list out loud or in your head three times.
  4. Now say out loud or in your head, “I know that I am blessed, and I live my life within that knowing. I live my life with gratitude and from my heart. I am a conscious creator, and being grateful is at the core of my being for balance.”

Additional supports

Moon Water – You will notice that I will recommend this every time. Moon water is a powerful way to keep the full Moon energy flowing after it has gone, and it is super simple to make.

  1. Get a glass jar or bowl that can be covered, fill with water.
  2. Place water outside overnight to soak up the energy
  3. In the morning, place the water in your fridge – drink from it any time you feel the need for some illumination.
  4. If you have a spray bottle, put some of your moon water in it and spritz your room or space. This will help keep the energy positive in your space and remind you of the beautiful forgiveness and gratitude practice you did.

Crystals – two things I want to mention about crystals. First, get all your crystals outside to charge for the night. If you cannot put them out safely, a windowsill that gets moonlight will also work. Crystals can cleanse and charge under a full moon. The Full Moon can amplify its energies as well. Secondly, I have some crystal recommendations to use specifically for this moon energy.

Full Moon in Virgo - Author

New Moon in Aquarius in February 2021

Welcome to Aquarius season with this beautiful New Moon. During the New Moon in Aquarius in February 2021, there continues to be a lot of planetary action happening; alignments, squares, conjunctions, and retrogrades. We have 6 planets in the sign of Aquarius alone, meaning, get ready to be bombarded with Aquarian energy, which all in all is not a bad thing. We just have to be completely conscious of our frequency and thoughts, especially now.

As a collective consciousness, we are on the rise – but this is the fork in the road. We can choose to remain stuck in old patterns and systems, or we can have faith in the Universe and allow it to unveil the next path for all of us; the next upgrade, the next system – all of which have all of humanity and equality in its intentions.

Let’s learn about the New Moon below and further information about what this Aquarius energy can bring/do for us.

What is the energy of a New Moon?

New Moon Energies - Aquarius

The New Moon always brings a level of excitement. It is the start of a new Lunar cycle and represents new beginnings. Wipe the slate clean of whatever did not work for you throughout the last Lunar cycle.

Sometimes the New Moon’s energy can feel like a quiet time where the night seems so long, and it can sometimes bring about dark energy – the New Moon is so small and dark in this phase and hardly visible to the naked eye.

The energy of a New Moon can be challenging for some because, as humans, we can sense change, and it is in our nature to run or avoid change. However, if you can get into the energy that the Moon is asking for, your transition will be more smooth.

New Moons are the perfect time to set out new goals, intentions, and wishes. After all, through the darkness of a New Moon, we can become reborn through our intentions and wishes.

This New Moon in Aquarius in February 2021 is critical to hold on to the frequency of love, joy, compassion, and gratitude; because the seeds we plant during this moon will continue to evolve and grow throughout the year into November. Manifestation is very magnified at this time due to the position of Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of expansion – it’s like the miracle grow for the seeds we plant. It might not be essential to have a clear picture of exactly what we want, as long as there is an intention of the outcome we would like to see. The Universe and Jupiter will guide us and expand us into far more than we could even imagine.

What Should I Focus on During a New Moon?

New Moon in Aquarius Focus

The 3-5 days leading up to the New Moon is considered a Balsamic Moon phase, or to some, it is the Waning Crescent Moon. During this time, we are releasing all the intense energies that are lingering from the Full Moon, Disseminating Moon, and Third Quarter Moon. (More on those phases to come)

Fun fact Balsam is translated to “healing or soothing.”

In the Balsamic phase, we are ready to release, heal, and surrender. Begin the journey inward and think about the forgiveness and release you did through the Full Moon. Anything that is remaining, it is time to let go now.

Once we reach the New Moon phase, humans can sometimes be guarded because New Moons also represent change or rebirth, and for many, that is a difficult thing to do. Still, if we spend days leading up to it with an energy of acceptance and surrender, we can get excited about a change. Especially when we know what is working for us, and then we can expand from there.

As mentioned above, the New Moon in Aquarius in February 2021 is an opportunity to allow the seeds (wishes, manifestations, intentions) to grow into their own. Just come up with an intention for your 2021 year. You may still perform your moon wishes ritual, of course, but have one of your items be the desired outcome, not just what you want. For example, the intention you set could be equality for all of humanity, where poverty and class become a system of the past, and we get to move into a more community-minded consciousness. Where wealth isn’t just for the rich, it’s available to all. Or, Equality in civil rights, where women and People of Colour do not have to fight harder than the rest because they are recognized and treated as equal – as they should already be.

New Moon Wishes Explained

New Moon in Aquarius - New Moon Wishes

There is something magical about a New Moon. As you have read, I mention wishes – New Moon Wishes. So, you are probably wondering what that is all about. When we take the actions listed above – getting clear on what works, what does not and preparing to bring in change, we will then be ready to bring our manifestation and wishes to light.

How To:
Much of this information comes from Moonology by Yasmin Boland, plus some intuitive takes.

1. Show gratitude for all that you do have in your life right now at this moment.

2. Play some frequency music. Find the Hz you are looking for by googling. As an example, let’s say your new moon wish is to be more spiritually connected. Google “frequency for spiritual connection,” from there, you can likely select a YouTube video or search the 852 Hz for connection on any of your favourite music streaming platforms. Light a candle or incense.

3. Choose up to 10 wishes or intentions for the four weeks of the Lunar cycle. For this month, also add in 10 more for the year ahead. Get as specific as you can. If you are having trouble narrowing it down to what it is precise that you are wanting, I encourage you to do some personal development practices, such as Reiki, EFT, books, etc.

4. Write the wishes on paper. Express it creatively if you wish. Different shapes of paper, different colours, stickers, just whatever you are called to do. The more energy you invest in this process, it shows the universe your desire and commitment.

5. Read each item aloud – and prioritize. Choose the item(s) that are the most important to you. For your priority wishes or intentions, take this time to visualize it coming to reality and dive into the feelings of having that “thing” come true. Act as if it has already happened. What does that energy feel like? – Do this same process with the wishes or intentions for the year.

6. Create affirmations that back up the wish(es), and write that down too.

7. Look at each item and rate from 0-100 what you feel the likelihood is of it coming to be.

8. Go over each item and set intentions on what you plan to do to help these wishes come to light. Sitting and waiting is not going to bring things to you. We have to be willing to take action and watch for guidance along the way.

9. Meditate for a minimum of 15 minutes – and release your dreams into the universe.

10. End your meditation by releasing any attachments to the outcome. Although we set goals, intentions, and wishes, it is not necessarily for our highest good. Try not to control the outcome; aid it with actionable steps; it will work If it is meant to work; if not – you will come across roadblocks or other signs.

New Moon in Aquarius Energy

Aquarius energies

There is a lot to unwrap here, so I hope you stick around to read or check out my YouTube video here.

The New Moon in Aquarius February 2021 is a great time of change and a reminder of a time not so long ago. The last time we had these specific planetary alignments was in February 1962, and do you know what dawned in that era? The Hippies – the time of civil rights movements, equality movements, peace and love, harmony and joy, when people gathered together and became communities as one and were able to be self-sufficient in many ways. I believe that the era in the ’60s was actually a seed that had been planted to come around again at this very moment in time.

Yes, we moved away from a lot of the energy that was alive back then but also look at how much the collective consciousness changed in that one frame in time. Many women’s rights changes, rights for people of colour, civil movements taking down corrupt governments, etc. We learned a lot from that era. We have grown, we have learned, and in this time frame, we are ready to come back into that energy of the ’60s.

Now that we are transitioning into the Age of Aquarius (This transition continues into 2024 before we are fully dawned in the Age of Aquarius), we will be confronted with massive amounts of Aquarius energy.

Aquarius positive traits:

  • Progressive
  • Independent
  • Free-spirited
  • Humanitarian
  • Altruistic
  • Intelligent
  • Unique
  • Eccentric
  • Assertive
  • Socialable
  • Idealistic
  • Inventive

Aquarius negative traits

  • Overly emotional
  • Inability to compromise
  • Hot-tempered
  • Unpredictable
  • Restless
  • Guarded
  • Impersonal
  • Detached
  • Irresponsible

It’s important to know the traits so you can recognize if your energy is resting in a positive or negative space. You will be bombarded with these traits even if they aren’t normally the ones that you carry. You will find yourself evolving further into these traits, especially as we become reborn into this Age of Aquarius.

Your relationship with emotions may become a little more complicated during the New Moon in Aquarius in February 2021 because the Aquarius energy has a strong need and desire to be released from emotions; emotional freedom. This mostly relates to less desirable emotions such as fear, anger, jealousy, dogma, etc.

During the New Moon in Aquarius in February 2021, you will find yourself faced with a choice, again the fork in the road. There will be a lot of tension between the old and the new. Such as, do you stay where you currently are? Maybe it is comfortable, but are you honestly happy? Joyful? Grateful? or are you ready to step out into a new dawn, a new beginning? Are you ready, willing, and able to release the past and see it as solely the stepping stones that got you here? As the lessons that needed to be learned to gain the wisdom of who you truly are? Or do you stay static, unable or unwilling to move? These are big choices that need to be made, but the beautiful thing is that when you choose, you surrender to it and allow the Universe to unfold its will to you, and all will be made clear.

At this time, the most important piece of advice I can give you is above all else, no matter what – keep your frequency high. Do whatever it takes to keep your frequency in love, joy, peace, and gratitude. You will help level up the collective consciousness making the transition into this era much easier on everyone and everything. Not to say that there aren’t tough times ahead, because there are, but once we tear down the old systems and arise with new systems; we truly could experience the 5D here in the 3D world. Many of us are already there, and we are the ones writing and guiding you to join us and allow our higher selves to take the wheel.

New Moon in Aquarius Ritual

New Moon Ritual

The Ritual! This is probably my favourite part of these blogs! I love creating rituals that will help people expand into their greatness.

Firstly, I always recommend a journaling practice daily, but especially during significant moon phases, New Moon-Full Moon. I will provide some journal prompts below to get you started, then you will find a numbered list; this is the actual ritual.

The journal prompts will give you some great questions to reflect upon and maybe bring something to light that you can work on through this New Moon.

Journal Prompts

  • What am I willing and able to release and let go of from my past?
  • What events and people am I able to detach myself from?
  • Am I giving myself the space to be my true unique self?
  • Am I able to find and share my gifts with the world? If yes, how can I explore that?
  • Can I let go of “social norms” and think outside the box on how I can contribute my gifts to the world?
  • How can I be of more assistance to my fellow humans? Can I donate time or money to those in need?
  • Have I found my tribe? If not, what can I do to find my tribe of people? The people that think like me and help me feel like I am apart of the bigger picture? The people that don’t just tell me what I want to hear, but what I need to.

The Ritual

1. Get Moon water ready. You can do this in a couple of ways. I have been leaning more towards the first way I will explain, but listen to yourself on what you think resonates more with you.
– Drinkable Moon Water. For this one, you are just setting out a glass jar of water with a lid outside overnight to absorb the Moon’s energy. In the morning, bring it in, and drink some. This will help supercharge the energetic body and raise the vibe, which allows the ritual to be more effective. Any water you have saved, keep it in the fridge and drink when you need a “pick me up.”
– Fragrant Moon Water – This will not be drinkable Moon Water, but no less effective. Same idea as above but this time, we are adding things to the water. Get yourself a glass jar or bowl – make sure it can be covered. Add in crystals, fresh or dried herbs, flowers, essential oils, etc. Whatever you are called to. Put it out under the Moon overnight. In the morning, remove all items from the water, and strain it into a spray bottle. Spray yourself and your spaces with the water to invite the energy in and through you. This also raises the vibe and increases the effectiveness of your ritual and wishes.

2. Smudge your space that you will be doing in the ritual. You can use any smudging material, but I always suggest Palo Santo – it’s my favourite

3. Get into the journaling – use the prompts and anything else that may come to mind or any other questions you want to ask yourself at this time. Allow your intuition to guide you through this.

4. Do the New Moon Wishes exercise above

5. At the beginning of the New Moon exercise, it states to show gratitude. After the exercise, I suggest coming back to gratitude. You can say the same gratitudes, or if new things came to mind, use those or add them to the list from earlier.

Full Moon in Leo 2021

The Full Moon in Leo 2021 is our first full moon of the year. This full moon is also known as the wolf moon, and it comes in Leo’s sign.

This Full Moon in Leo 2021 will be particularly beneficial for our Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius friends. For the remaining signs, it may be a difficult energy to get through, but if you read along and learn about this energy and follow the ritual below, the Full Moon in Leo 2021 can help you a great deal in starting this year with a bang.

This moon will be in full power at 2:16 pm Eastern time on January 28th; if you cannot perform your ritual and/or do meditation at that time, do it the evening before or on the 28th. The power of the Full Moon is present for 3 days before and after the event.

In this blog, we will learn what the energy of the full moon in general is, what you should focus on, the energy of the zodiac sign we are in, the energy of the wolf, and of course, the ritual you can perform to make the most of the energy – don’t worry the ritual is nothing weird, no sacrifices are needed – promise.

What is the energy of a Full Moon?

Generally speaking, full moons are a time to reflect on the results of new moon wishes/manifestations, focus on forgiveness and fill the space created with gratitude.

At this time, wishes (manifestations) should be coming to fruition somehow, or at the very least clear direction and guidance from the universe, be ready to keep your eyes and ears open.

Full moons are yang energy that can sometimes make things feel forceful, like coming to a head with past traumas or events that need healing. It is forceful in the most loving of ways, though, encouraging and pushing you to release and let go because, in the end, it is what is best for your higher self and purpose.

It will encourage you to reflect on all of the events that happened in the weeks of a full lunar cycle, what has happened? what worked? What didn’t work? What emotions do you feel ready to release? Is there anything you are willing or able to forgive? When we can forgive events, situations, and people, you can release karma and detox our soul from those negative vibes. That will help you release negative patterns, toxic thoughts, habits, ways of being negative, and even toxic people.

When we release and forgive, it gives our energetic body room to grow. Fill the spaces and growth with gratitude; this will create a very high vibration that will help bring in all of the good stuff the universe has waiting for us.

What Should I Focus on During a Full Moon?

Full moons are essentially about a “clean slate”; release what you don’t want – holding on to low vibrational emotions will attract more of it. If you have guilt, fear, disappointment, and jealousy; you need to acknowledge the feelings, forgive them, and let them go; It is a process.

When we hang on to these low vibe emotions, it brings energy into our aura that creates blocks in the chakras, which will block our ability to manifest our new moon wishes. Releasing and letting go of those emotions will take inner-work, and not everybody is ready for that, and that is ok. If you can even find just one little minor thing to release that has been taking up any brain space, you will feel a shift, and you will begin a beautiful connection start with the moon and the earth.

Just be willing to look within, heal, shift blocks, and shed the past. The full moon can sometimes shine or “illuminate” the darker side of ourselves. Do no fear it; we all have this side of us because, without the darkness, we cannot appreciate the lighter side. See it, shift it as best as you can – always choose to have the bright side win.

With this Full Moon in Leo 2021, it is crucial that we connect into the heart space and get back in touch with our humility. One of the best ways to do that is to truly consider the journaling questions I have listed in the ritual below.

What is the energy of The Full Wolf Moon?

The wolf has powerful symbolism in the spiritual realm. It represents new beginnings, conquering of light over darkness as the days grow longer. The wolf has incredible instincts, intelligence, awareness of their surroundings, and crave freedom. Although they work well in packs, they can also thrive in their independence because they are so intelligent and instinctual – it’s hard to fool a wolf.

As we all know, these times are challenging for even the most centred and grounded being. We are being forced to do things we don’t want to and things we may disagree with. We feel so many freedoms are being stripped away from us one by one, but lean into the wolf’s energy and become fully aware. Truly see all that is actually going on around you. There might be a smokescreen in front of you, and it is up to you to follow your instincts to sort truth from fiction.

Take this time to really reflect and journal about all of the feelings you have from within and from what’s happening in the outside world. This will help you gain awareness and allow your instinct to guide and lead you to your truth, passion, and purpose at this time.

What is the Leo Energies of this Moon?

With this Full Moon in Leo 2021, a lot is going on astrologically, contributing to the feelings and emotions. Still, I am not an astrologer, so I will leave that to the professionals, but we will chat about the energies.

Some of the planetary alignments bring a lot of tribulations to us, forcing us to look beyond the obvious and read between the lines. The Leo energy is going to amplify this. Leo is a fire sign; it brings strong and forceful energy. It may make you feel like you are ready to take a stance. That could be in your own life, or take a stance on what is happening to our collective world.

The Leo energy will help bring us bravery and make us feel like we can dominate and do whatever we set our mind to, which is the perfect energy at this time. As we are embarking upon new beginnings, we need that push to be brave and carry out our “resolutions,” goals, intentions, etc., for the new year ahead of us..

Leo’s energy also brings about a lot of warmth. It is important to enter that heart space and feel the love and joy that is still around you, even through these tough times.

Leo energy is also incredibly passionate; if things have been a little stagnant in the love sector (either with self or a partner), this is the time to amp it up. When we are satisfied sexually, it helps us gain confidence and brings a glow to the aura that will help us attract whatever we are looking for in life. If that be a partner, a new work goal, a new business venture – literally anything you set your mind to.

The Leo energy will help you become more dynamic as a whole; a positive attitude, full of energy and new ideas. Embrace what this universal energy brings you by having these energies in your awareness and being willing to try the ritual listed below.

The Ritual

The ritual for this full moon is going to have a few parts to it. Start with journaling the questions below, then a forgiveness practice, into gratitude, and a couple of other recommendations.

  1. Have I been too self-centred, egotistical, or proud lately?
  2. Have I been treating the people around me like minions?
  3. Have I been pushy, arrogant, vain, or pompous?
  4. Have I been expressing myself creatively?
  5. Have I shown myself enough self-love?

First, to prepare for this practice, use the questions above to reflect on and journal your results. This is something you can easily do before the full moon if you want to take some time to get clear on what you are ready or willing to forgive and anything you may be willing to release or take responsibility for.

Forgiveness Practice

Now that the journaling process is done and you have made a list, or the “forgiveness list,” it is time to start the forgiveness process.

  1. Have your page with the list ready
  2. Cleanse the space with Sage or Palo Santo
  3. Sit comfortably, and get ready to begin.
  4. Take long, deep breaths until you feel calm and at ease, send breath to any tension in the body as well.
  5. Close your eyes and begin to visualize each person or event listed that you are willing to forgive.
  6. Visualize each person or event being wrapped up in a bubble – you get to chose the colour.
  7. See all of the bubbles and begin to create a good feeling towards them.
  8. Say silently or out loud, “I forgive you.”
  9. Now see all of the bubbles float away. If you have any bubbles that are having trouble leaving, forgive yourself for not being ready to release it, and we can try again at the next moon.
  10. Take your forgiveness list and burn it; this will signify and solidify the release.
  11. When you are ready, open your eyes, and recite this to close the forgiveness practice and bring in karma release.
    “Under the glorious Full Moon, I forgive everything, everyone, every experience, every memory of the past or present that needs forgiveness. I forgive everyone positively. I also forgive myself for past mistakes. The universe is love, and I am forgiven and governed by love alone. Love is now adjusting my life. Realizing this, I abide in peace.”

Gratitude Practice

Now that we have forgiven, we have created space within our bodies. We want to fill these spaces with gratitude; this will raise our vibration and attract more joy, happiness, and love.

  1. Take a moment to think of at least three people, places, events, etc., that you are grateful for; feel the joy run through your body as you begin to think about all that you have to be grateful for.
  2. Write out a list of what/who you are grateful for.
  3. Read your list out loud or in your head three times.
  4. Now say out loud or in your head, “I know that I am blessed, and I live my life within that knowing. I live my life with gratitude and from my heart. I am a conscious creator, and being grateful is at the core of my being for balance.”

Moon Water – You will notice that I will recommend this every time. Moon water is a powerful way to keep the full Moon energy flowing after it has gone, and it is super simple to make.

  1. Get a glass jar or bowl that can be covered, fill with water.
  2. Place water outside overnight to soak up the energy
  3. In the morning, place the water in your fridge – drink from it any time you feel the need for some illumination.
  4. If you have a spray bottle, put some of your moon water in it and spritz your room or space. This will help keep the energy positive in your space and remind you of the beautiful forgiveness and gratitude practice you did.

Crystals – two things I want to mention about crystals. First, get all your crystals outside to charge for the night. If you cannot put them out safely, a windowsill that gets moonlight will also work. Crystals can cleanse and charge under a full moon. The Full Moon can amplify their energies as well.

New Moon In Capricorn 2021

We made it through 2020, friends! Happy 2021 and welcome to the New Moon in Capricorn 2021!! I don’t know about you, but I am pretty excited about this new chapter, and for this new age we have entered – The Age of Aquarius!!

This is our first New Moon of 2021, and it is an exhilarating time astrologically, energetically, and personally. The New Moon in Capricorn 2021 is bringing a lot of change. It is a time to plan, be ambitious, be kind, relinquish control, and establish your traditions.

The New Moon in Capricorn 2021 is happening on January 13th at 12 am Eastern time. Before you head to bed on the night of the 12th, take the time to set your intentions, your ritual, meditation, or anything else you feel called to do at this time—more about this below.

What is the energy of a New Moon?

New Moon Energies

The New Moon always brings a level of excitement. It is the start of a new Lunar cycle and represents new beginnings. Wipe the slate clean of whatever did not work for you throughout the last Lunar cycle. With this being the first New Moon of 2021, it is also a great time to reflect on all of the last year’s events. Take any rituals that you have completed and look back at what helped you the most, and start new traditions for yourself surrounding the moon and exercises that impacted you.

Sometimes the New Moon’s energy can feel like a quiet time where the night seems so long, and it can sometimes bring about dark energy – the New Moon is so small and dark in this phase and hardly visible to the naked eye.

The energy of a New Moon can be challenging for some because, as humans, we can sense change, and it is in our nature to run or avoid change. However, if you can get into the energy that the Moon is asking for, your transition will be more smooth.

New Moons are the perfect time to set out new goals, intentions, and wishes. After all, through the darkness of a New Moon, we can become reborn through our intentions and wishes.

In the New Moon in Capricorn 2021, there are some specific energies that you can work with to get a greater result from your wishes.

What Should I Focus on During a New Moon?

New Moon Focus

The 3-5 days leading up to the New Moon is considered a Balsamic Moon phase, or to some, it is the Waning Crescent Moon. During this time, we are releasing all the intense energies that are lingering from the Full Moon, Disseminating Moon, and Third Quarter Moon. (More on those phases to come)

Fun fact Balsam is translated to “healing or soothing.”

In the Balsamic phase, we are ready to release, heal, and surrender. Begin the journey inward and think about the forgiveness and release you did through the Full Moon. Anything that is remaining, it is the time to let go now.

This is also a great time to look at all of the things from the last lunar cycle that did not work for you. In the case of the New Moon in Capricorn 2021, it is the time to overlook the entire year of 2020 and make assessments of what did or did not work. Not only that, but it is an opportune time to set goals and intentions for the entire year ahead, along with the goals and intentions for the lunar cycle. That could be relationships, your schedule, home life, etc. Get right down to what did work, what did not, what you did not like, what you did like; when we take the time to get clear on the things that did not work, we can stop putting energy where it is not serving us so that when the New Moon comes, we are clear on our goals, intentions, and New Moon wishes for the coming month, and year!

Once we reach the New Moon phase, humans can sometimes be guarded because New Moons also represent change or rebirth, and for many, that is a difficult thing to do. Still, if we spend days leading up to it with an energy of acceptance and surrender, we can get excited about a change. Especially when we know what is working for us, and then we can expand from there.

New Moon Wishes Explained

New Moon Wishes

There is something magical about a New Moon. As you have read, I mention wishes – New Moon Wishes. So, you are probably wondering what that is all about. When we take the actions listed above – getting clear on what works, what does not and preparing to bring in change, we will then be ready to bring our manifestation and wishes to light.

How To:
Much of this information comes from Moonology by Yasmin Boland, plus some intuitive takes.

1. Show gratitude for all that you do have in your life right now at this moment.

2. Play some frequency music. Find the Hz you are looking for by googling. As an example, let’s say your new moon wish is to be more spiritually connected. Google “frequency for spiritual connection,” from there, you can likely select a YouTube video or search the 852 Hz for connection on any of your favourite music streaming platforms. Light a candle or incense.

3. Choose up to 10 wishes or intentions for the four weeks of the Lunar cycle. For this month, also add in 10 more for the year ahead. Get as specific as you can. If you are having trouble narrowing it down to what it is precise that you are wanting, I encourage you to do some personal development practices, such as Reiki, EFT, books, etc.

4. Write the wishes on paper. Express it creatively if you wish. Different shapes of paper, different colours, stickers, just whatever you are called to do. The more energy you invest in this process, it shows the universe your desire and commitment.

5. Read each item aloud – and prioritize. Choose the item(s) that are the most important to you. For your priority wishes or intentions, take this time to visualize it coming to reality and dive into the feelings of having that “thing” come true. Act as if it has already happened. What does that energy feel like? – Do this same process with the wishes or intentions for the year.

6. Create affirmations that back up the wish(es), and write that down too.

7. Look at each item and rate from 0-100 what you feel the likelihood is of it coming to be.

8. Go over each item and set intentions on what you plan to do to help these wishes come to light. Sitting and waiting is not going to bring things to you. We have to be willing to take action and watch for guidance along the way.

9. Meditate for a minimum of 15 minutes – and release your dreams into the universe.

10. End your meditation by releasing any attachments to the outcome. Although we set goals, intentions, and wishes, it is not necessarily for our highest good. Try not to control the outcome; aid it with actionable steps; it will work If it is meant to work; if not – you will come across roadblocks or other signs.

New Moon in Capricorn Energy

Capricorn Energy

As mentioned above, this is a big event, and huge energies are at play. There is a huge level of excitement as we dawn on the new beginnings of a new year and the new age of Aquarius. The New Moon in Capricorn 2021 asks you to really assess where you are, where you’ve been, where you want to go, and how you can accomplish it.

This energy is also asking that you recognize and celebrate your evolution over the last year. I bet 2020 has changed a lot for you, not just in the outside sources of what is happening globally, but your own personal evolution. Thought patterns and behaviours have changed in some way. Recognize all of the good, and allow yourself to celebrate how far you’ve come.

The New Moon in Capricorn 2021 is asking you to:

1) Plan – because we are in a new year and new age: this is a great opportunity to put some action plans into place. Get clear on what you want to accomplish this year. Set the intentions, and make actionable steps to help you get there.

2) Be Ambitious – The Aquarian energy of the age we are entering helps us get motivated and see things outside of the box like never before. Aquarius is eccentric, spontaneous, and original. We can use these energies to our benefit, especially those who struggle with any of the mentioned traits. Don’t be afraid to try something new or different. It could be the defining moment you’ve been waiting for.

We have been building to this for some time now, and if you have been here reading these blogs, then you know Sagitarrius season has been opening up our minds to new possibilities and thinking outside of the box.

3) Be kind – Capricorn can sometimes be a cold sign, but this energy is asking that you show someone how much they mean to you. Take the time to really appreciate the relationships and people that mean the most to you.

4) Let go of control – Capricorn can be a tough sign sometimes too. It tends to be stubborn and want to control the outcome of desires or wishes. This is a time to let go of that if you find yourself getting into this energy. If there is anything I have learned for certain through my journey, the more we try to control an outcome or get stuck in our own way, the harder it will be for these things to come to us. The Universe wants to help, but if you are not willing to let go of the picture of how you think it should go, you will miss an opportunity or another way of accomplishing the goal or desire.

5) Establish traditions – establishing something new that you can add to your routine or a seasonal tradition is a great thing to do at this time. The Capricorn energy relishes in relationships and routine. So, if there is something new you have wanted to do every Winter or Christmas, or if there is something you wanted to add to your morning/evening routine, this is a favourable time to do that. Perhaps you don’t have a regular morning or evening routine, now is the time to explore what works for you.

New Moon in Capricorn Ritual

New Moon Ritual

The Ritual! This is probably my favourite part of these blogs! I love creating rituals that will help people expand into their greatness. This ritual will be a little longer than usual because we will spend some time reflecting on 2020 and set goals for the month and the year.

Firstly, I always recommend a journaling practice daily, but especially during significant moon phases, New Moon-Full Moon. I will provide some journal prompts below to get you started, then you will find a numbered list; this is the actual ritual.

The journal prompts will give you some great questions to reflect upon and maybe bring something to light that you can work on through this New Moon.

Journal Prompts
-Have I been avoiding plans or committing to something I desire?
-Am I willing to make actionable steps towards my wishes and intentions?
-Have I been kind to those I value? Do I show appreciation in a way that is clear to them?
-Have I been trying to control how things are going to work out?
-Am I willing to look beyond my flaws so I can see what I actually need?
-What are the biggest lessons I learned in 2020?
-What am I grateful for from 2020?
-What challenges did I overcome in 2020?
-Is there anything I can celebrate about my evolution in 2020?

The Ritual

1. Get Moon water ready. You can do this in a couple of ways. I have been leaning more towards the first way I will explain, but listen to yourself on what you think resonates more with you.
– Drinkable Moon Water. For this one, you are just setting out a glass jar of water with a lid outside overnight to absorb the Moon’s energy. In the morning, bring it in, and drink some. This will help supercharge the energetic body and raise the vibe, which allows the ritual to be more effective. Any water you have saved, keep it in the fridge and drink when you need a “pick me up.”
– Fragrant Moon Water – This will not be a drinkable Moon Water, but no less effective. Same idea as above but this time, we are adding things to the water. Get yourself a glass jar or bowl – make sure it can be covered. Add in crystals, fresh or dried herbs, flowers, essential oils, etc. Whatever you are called to. Put it out under the Moon overnight. In the morning, remove all items from the water, and strain it into a spray bottle. Spray yourself and your spaces with the water to invite the energy in and through you. This also raises the vibe and increases the effectiveness of your ritual and wishes.

2. Smudge your space that you will be doing in the ritual. You can use any smudging material, but I always suggest Palo Santo – it’s my favourite

3. Get into the journaling – use the prompts and anything else that may come to mind or any other questions you want to ask yourself at this time. Allow your intuition to guide you through this.

4. Do the New Moon Wishes exercise above

5. At the beginning of the New Moon exercise, it states to show gratitude. After the exercise, I suggest coming back to gratitude. You can say the same gratitudes, or if new things came to mind, use those or add them to the list from earlier.

New Moon In Sagittarius – December 2020

Welcome to the New Moon in Sagittarius, and just like the Sagittarians, it is coming in with immense energy. Not only do we have a New Moon on December 14th, 2020 – we also have a total solar eclipse. There is a ton of energy floating around, so hold on tight; it’s going to be an amazing ride. Depending on your perception and vibration, this is an amazing time to upgrade, level up, raising your consciousness. 

Let’s begin with some general information about the New Moon. Then we will get into the good stuff on what the Sagittarius and Solar Eclipse energy will bring to us. 

What is the energy of a New Moon?

Once we reach the New Moon phase, humans can sometimes be guarded because New Moons also represent change or rebirth, and for many, that is a difficult thing to do. Still, if we spend days leading up to it with an energy of acceptance and surrender, we can get excited about a change. Especially when we know what is working for us, and then we can expand from there.

New Moon in Sagittarius – Energies

New Moon Sagittarius Energy

Sagittarians are the justice and truth seekers, Our adventurers and risk-takers, our spontaneous, joyful child energy makers. The ones that fight for liberty, independence, balance, optimism, and purpose. This energy brings an amazing opportunity to be bold and take that leap that you have been thinking about for a while now. It is time to get out of the head and into action because December brings a lot to us, a lot more than what I can write here. It’s a tremendous time of change, and it is the chance to remove yourself from low vibe energies to awaken with the majority of humanity—more on this particular topic to come. 

Sagittarius is not only risk takers and adventure seekers but also explorers, exploring the self and the world that is existing around them. This moon is ripe for self-reflection. Being honest with the self and what is actually desired will be a challenge, but if you adopt the Sagittarians impulsive energy, it will be fruitful. Invest in your healing, and it will be a fruitful adventure. 

Sagittarius is also a mutable sign, meaning that it happens during season change, meaning this energy is very adaptable to change and let me tell you, a whole new existence is waiting to be birthed within you at this time. 

Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius Energy

Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius - energy

In general, a Total Solar Eclipse is the holy trinity of the Sun, Moon, and Earth coming into alignment – a grand reset, and a new cycle is beginning. This can affect physical balance – you may feel dizzy often during this time. You will be extra sensitive to the energy and emotions of others. You may feel confused, lethargic, and headaches. This is all normal during a total solar eclipse. Your third eye is more active during this energy, and it is a great time to take advantage of tools such as meditation and Moon rituals. It is a potent time of healing, and this is something you will want to do your best with; a fresh start and new beginnings are on the way. 

So, how does the Sagittarius energy affect this Total Solar Eclipse? Because of the energies coming with the age of Aquarius dawning, the Sagittarius energy is bringing a lot to the table. You may not feel it or recognize it, but here is what will be shifting if you are willing to accept and surrender to the will of the Universe. 

  • A shift of the ages – as we are moving into the age of Aquarius, it is breaking down old systems that “hold power.” The people are waking up and beginning to see the control that the Capricorn age forced upon us. 
  • It is bringing in more collaboration meaning stronger communities, sharing, and coming together in humanity. 
  • A strong and intense motion forward. 
  • Sagittarius is bringing revolutionary and fiesty energy. We will no longer sit back and obey the things that no longer make sense for us. 
  • We will see the shadow side of Capricorn dawn as we move into the Age of Aquarius, meaning we may see more restraints and controls from those in “power.” Still, the justice league of Sagittarius energy will not allow it to go on too long, especially when Aquarius comes in. 
  • See this New Moon in Sagittarius as the pivot point changing the old into the new ways of being. 
  • Because Sagittarius likes to see fast results, there is an acceleration in the old systems’ unravelling. There will be a lot of confusion in the beginning. But it is the breaking point of the harsh energy of Capricorn. 

All New Moons are a great time to plant seeds and manifest, but there will be an extra dose of energy opening you up to new possibilities you didn’t even know existed. This energy is also coming in with Uranus’s energy bringing freedom, expansiveness, and becoming more future-oriented. We will once again be partnered up and aware of our Galactic roots and family. 

It is important to take advantage of this time to heal low vibe energies if you become stuck in fear, anger, resentment etc. The big event happening on December 21st will magnify and amplify those emotions. If you are in a state of joy, happiness, and love – it is amplified, bringing you bliss. We are on the dawn of a new consciousness, and I am the sender of this message for you today. 

Next, we will go through a ritual that you can perform; I always recommend to my followers that they do these rituals, but if you haven’t done one yet, now is the time to start.

The journal prompts will give you some great questions to reflect upon and maybe bring something to light that you can work on through this New Moon.

Journal Prompts
-As a new age dawns, who do I want to be in this situation? Do I want to be a being of love or fear?

-Am I prepared for change? Have I observed my fears around change, and can I flip that script?
-If I am stuck in fear of change, can I feel it anywhere in the body, if yes – where?
-What is the change I wish to see in myself? In the world?
-What actions can I take to BE the change I wish to see?

The Ritual

1. Get Moon water ready. You can do this in a couple of ways. I have been leaning more towards the first way I will explain, but listen to yourself on what you think resonates more with you.

Allow your intuition to guide you through this. **Fellow empaths and sensitives, please take a lot of time with self-love and self-care through the entire month of December. The veil is very thin, making it so much easier to absorb other humans’ energies and beings. 

4. New Moon wishes exercise:

  • How To:
    Much of this information comes from Moonology by Yasmin Boland, plus some intuitive takes.
  • 1. Show gratitude for all that you do have in your life right now at this moment.
  • 2. Play some frequency music; find the Hz you are looking for by googling. As an example, let’s say your new moon wish is to be more spiritually connected. Google “frequency for spiritual connection,” from there, you can likely select a YouTube video or search the 852 Hz for connection on any of your favourite music streaming platforms.

  • 4. Write the wishes on paper. Express it creatively if you wish. Different shapes of paper, different colours, stickers, just whatever you are called to do. The more energy you invest in this process, it shows the universe your desire and commitment.

  • 9. Meditate for a minimum of 15 minutes – and release your dreams into the universe.
  • 10. End your meditation by releasing any attachments to the outcome. Although we set goals, intentions, and wishes, it is not necessarily for our highest good. Try not to control the outcome; aid it with actionable steps. It will work if it is meant to be; if not, you will come across roadblocks or other signs.

5. At the beginning of the New Moon exercise, it states to show gratitude. After the exercise, I suggest coming back to gratitude. You can say the same gratitudes, or if new things came to mind, use those or add it to the list from earlier.

Additional note, at this time grounding, is going to be IMPERATIVE. Get your feet out into the Earth, visualize roots growing from your feet, breathwork, crystals. Whatever it is that works for you to help you center and ground.

Full Beaver Moon

Welcome to the Full Beaver Moon coming to us at 4:32 am Eastern on November 30th. This Full Beaver Moon is bringing a whole lot of energy, from what the Beaver represents to what influences the sign of Gemini will have under this Full Beaver Moon. Read along to learn what you can do to make the most of these energies and what to expect to be faced with. Let’s begin with what the Full Moon brings in general. In the upcoming YouTube video, I will also be discussing the significance of this Full Beaver Moon’s time – in case you didn’t know, 432 is a big deal – make sure to head over there to check it out.

What is the energy of a Full Moon?

What is the energy of the Full Moon - Full Beaver Moon

Generally speaking, full moons are a time to reflect on the results of new moon wishes (more on this soon!), focus on forgiveness and fill the space created with gratitude.

At this time, wishes (manifestations) should be coming to fruition somehow, or at the very least clear direction and guidance from the universe, be ready to keep your eyes and ears open.

Full moons are yang energy that can sometimes make things feel forceful, like coming to a head with past traumas or events that need healing. It is forceful in the most loving of ways, though, encouraging and pushing you to release and let go because, in the end, it is what is best for your higher self and purpose.

It will encourage you to reflect on all of the events that happened in the weeks of a full lunar cycle, what has happened? what worked? What didn’t work? What emotions do you feel ready to release? Is there anything you are willing or able to forgive? When we can forgive events, situations, and people, you can release karma and detox your soul from those negative vibes. That will help you release negative patterns, toxic thoughts, habits, ways of being negative, and even toxic people.

When we release and forgive, it gives our energetic body room to grow. Fill the spaces and growth with gratitude; this will create a very high vibration that will help bring in all of the good stuff the universe has waiting for us.

What Should I Focus on During a Full Moon?

What should I focus on during the full moon? - Full Moon Focus

Full moons are essentially about a “clean slate”; release what you don’t want – holding on to low vibrational emotions will attract more of it. If you have guilt, fear, disappointment, and jealousy; you need to acknowledge the feelings, forgive them, and let them go; It is a process.

When we hang on to these low vibe emotions, it brings energy into our aura that creates blocks in the chakras, which will block your ability to manifest our new moon wishes. Releasing and letting go of those emotions will take inner-work, and not everybody is ready for that, and that is ok. If you can even find just one little minor thing to release that has been taking up any brain space, you will feel a shift, and you will begin a beautiful connection start with the moon and the earth.

Just be willing to look within, heal, shift blocks, and shed the past. The full moon can sometimes shine or “illuminate” the darker side of ourselves. Do no fear it; we all have this side of us because, without the darkness, we cannot appreciate the lighter side. See it, shift it as best as you can – always choose to have the bright side win.

What is the energy of The Full Beaver Moon?

What is the energy of the Full Beaver Moon?

When you play your cards and crystals right, you can bring on the spirit of the Beaver – persistent and productive. Motivated to achieve, to build, and to be resourceful. The message of the Beaver Spirit animal – it takes work, consistent effort, and determination to co-create and lay a solid foundation for your dreams. Use the spirit as your partner. You bring the twigs and branches of your intentions and ideas – spread it across the river of time, and you will be amazed at what you can do and what will come.

This moon relates to change and action. Be flexible, leave behind the patterns of sabotage, old behaviours, and any regrets. Be willing to see and choose a new path and set yourself free from those patterns, behaviours, and regrets – they do not need to define you. This Full Beaver Moon is the time to start working your spiritual muscles to remain strong through to the new year.

Ask yourself – are there currently any energy leaks in your life? Is that pattern, behaviour, regret, sadness, anger, depression, etc., draining you? Think like the Beaver – build the dam to stop or slow the leak.

Daily Spiritual workouts – this can be prayer, morning gratitude practice, charging the day with a white light procedure, yoga, whatever you do that brings you that spiritual connection and feelings of joy.

Nurture any emotions. Express yourself. Get it out of your system. Try not to dig too deep to expose any roots unless you feel ready for that. Even just feeling the surface emotions will help – Feel sad, feel the anger, feel whatever you are feeling. Then ask yourself if anything is ready to leave your energetic body and allow it to go.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude practice for the remainder of the year. (If you would like some inspiration, follow me in my Facebook group or on Instagram for a daily gratitude post)

In our ancestors’ time, the Full Beaver Moon had two meanings – time to lay the traps for the beavers to collect fur for warmth over the winter – and the time of preparation, collecting and building to prepare for the upcoming season.

What is the Gemini Energies?

What is the energy of Gemini

When talking Full Moons, the sign is always opposing the season it is in. For instance – the Full Beaver Moon is happening during Sagittarius season, so it comes in at the Gemini sign as that is the direct opposite of the Sag sign.

The signs that can benefit the most during this Full Beaver Moon are Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.

This energy can bring in big changes, remain positive to allow changes to come in, bring you the best possible outcome and help you bring in your desires by choosing to let go of the old. However, it can also test your ability to adapt and go with the flow when changes come that may feel like it is “derailing” you. Always remember that the best outcome is always the Universe’s wish; it is up to you to take advantage of and use the energies as a tool. So, slow down and get completely honest with yourself about all areas of your life, find your balance of wanting it all right now – instant gratification – and enjoy the journey.

Here are some questions to ask yourself to assess where you are and where you need to focus.

– Have I been gossipy, superficial, or flighty this month? If yes, make yourself more aware of your thoughts and words.

– Have I been dismissing the feelings of others? If yes, what can you do to bring in more empathy for others?

– Have I been making rash decisions or too indecisive? If yes, acknowledge and love that part of you – there is a chance this is the shadow self-revealing itself, or it is the ego trying to make you feel small and incapable of making decisions. You can tell it this; ” Thank you for showing up to alert me, but I am capable of making good choices that come from a place of love and not fear. I make good choices effortlessly. I free you from protecting me.”
The acknowledgement alone can assist in allowing that energy in you to leave or quiet down. You may need to ask yourself this daily until you know and believe that you can make rational decisions without emotions of fear blocking what you truly want/desire. Sort through any “evidence” that may appear to you as you go through this process. This evidence is the egos’ way of telling you that you are not safe, putting you into survival mode when it is not necessary. Survival mode meaning; Fight, flight, or freeze. Evidence can be events and situations in the past that have “proved” you are not good at making decisions. When we operate from love and not fear (or survival), we can overcome the ego and survival instincts that are not serving us.

– Have I been harsh with my words? If yes, forgive yourself and acknowledge what needs a change.

– Have I been making the time to read enough so I can expand my mind and spirit? If no, where can you fit in a little bit of time every week? Could it be for ten minutes a day? Ten minutes every other day? 30 min a week?

The Ritual

The Ritual

The ritual for this full moon is going to have a few parts to it. Start with journaling the above questions under Gemini energy, then a forgiveness practice, into gratitude, and a couple of other recommendations.

First, to prepare for this practice, use the questions above to reflect on and journal your results. This is something you can easily do before the full moon if you want to take some time to get clear on what you are ready or willing to forgive and anything you may be willing to release or take responsibility for.

Forgiveness Practice

Now that the journaling process is done and you have made a list, or the “forgiveness list,” it is time to start the forgiveness process.

  1. Have your page with the list ready
  2. Cleanse the space with Sage or Palo Santo
  3. Sit comfortably, and get ready to begin.
  4. Take long, deep breaths until you feel calm and at ease, send breath to any tension in the body as well.
  5. Close your eyes and begin to visualize each person or event listed that you are willing to forgive.
  6. Visualize each person or event being wrapped up in a bubble – you get to chose the colour.
  7. See all of the bubbles and begin to create a good feeling towards them.
  8. Say silently or out loud, “I forgive you.”
  9. Now see all of the bubbles float away. If you have any bubbles that are having trouble leaving, forgive yourself for not being ready to release it, and we can try again at the next moon.
  10. Take your forgiveness list and burn it; this will signify and solidify the release.
  11. When you are ready, open your eyes, and recite this to close the forgiveness practice and bring in karma release.
    “Under the glorious Full Moon, I forgive everything, everyone, every experience, every memory of the past or present that needs forgiveness. I forgive everyone positively. I also forgive myself for past mistakes. The universe is love, and I am forgiven and governed by love alone. Love is now adjusting my life. Realizing this, I abide in peace.”

Gratitude Practice

Now that we have forgiven, we have created space within our bodies. We want to fill these spaces with gratitude; this will raise our vibration and attract more joy, happiness, and love.

  1. Take a moment to think of at least three people, places, events, etc., that you are grateful for; feel the joy run through your body as you begin to think about all that you have to be grateful for.
  2. Write out a list of what/who you are grateful for.
  3. Read your list out loud or in your head three times.
  4. Now say out loud, or in your head, “I know that I am blessed, and I live my life within that knowing. I live my life with gratitude and from my heart. I am a conscious creator, and being grateful is at the core of my being for balance.”

Additional supports

Moon Water – You will notice that I will recommend this every time. Moon water is a powerful way to keep the full Moon energy flowing after it has gone, and it is super simple to make.

  1. Get a glass jar or bowl that can be covered, fill with water.
  2. Place water outside overnight to soak up the energy
  3. In the morning, place the water in your fridge – drink from it any time you feel the need for some illumination.
  4. If you have a spray bottle, put some of your moon water in it and spritz your room or space. This will help keep the energy positive in your space and remind you of the beautiful forgiveness and gratitude practice you did.

Crystals – two things I want to mention about crystals. First, get all your crystals outside to charge for the night. If you cannot put them out safely, a windowsill that gets moonlight will also work. Crystals can cleanse and charge under a full moon. The Full Moon can amplify their energies as well. Secondly, I have some recommendations specifically for this moon energy.

New Moon in Scorpio – November 2020

Welcome to the New Moon in November. This New Moon is following the intense energy of the Blue Moon/Hunter’s Moon. We have expended so much energy in October, and you may be feeling completely drained of energy. It will be essential to be very gentle with yourself leading up to the New Moon. As we prepare to set out our New Moon Wishes, try not to let the exhaustion block you from doing what you need to keep up with the universal energies.

Keep reading below to learn about the New Moon, what New Moon Wishes are, and what you can do to make the most of this energy.

What is the energy of a New Moon?

Energies of the New Moon

The New Moon always brings a level of excitement. It is the start of a new Lunar cycle and represents new beginnings. Wipe the slate clean of whatever did not work for you throughout the last Lunar cycle.

Sometimes the New Moon’s energy can feel like a quiet time where the night seems so long, and it can sometimes bring about dark energy – the New Moon is so small and dark in this phase and hardly visible to the naked eye.

New Moons are the perfect time to set out new goals, intentions, and wishes. After all, through the darkness of a New Moon, we can become reborn through our intentions and wishes.

The energy of a New Moon can be challenging for some because, as humans, we can sense change, and it is in our nature to run or avoid change. However, if you can get into the energy that the Moon is asking for, your transition will be more smooth.

What Should I Focus on During a New Moon?

New Moon Focus

The 3-5 days leading up to the New Moon is considered a Balsamic Moon phase, or to some, it is the Waning Crescent Moon. During this time, we are releasing all the intense energies that are lingering from the Full Moon, Disseminating Moon, and Third Quarter Moon. (More on those phases to come)

Fun fact Balsam is translated to “healing or soothing.”

In the Balsamic phase, we are ready to release, heal, and surrender. Begin the journey inward and think about the forgiveness and release you did through the Full Moon. Anything that is remaining, it is the time to let go now.

This is also a great time to look at all of the things from the last lunar cycle that did not work for you. That could be relationships, your schedule, home life, etc. Get right down to what did work, what did not, what you did not like, what you did like; when we take the time to get clear on the things that did not work, we can stop putting energy where it is not serving us so that when the new Moon comes, we are clear on our goals, intentions, and New Moon wishes.

Once we reach the New Moon phase, humans can sometimes be guarded because New Moons also represent change, and for many, that is a difficult thing to do, but if we spend days leading up to it, we can get excited about a change. Especially when we know what is working for us, and then we can expand from there.

New Moon Wishes Explained

New Moon Wishes

There is something magical about a New Moon. As you have read, I mention wishes – New Moon Wishes. So, you are probably wondering what that is all about. When we take the actions listed above – getting clear on what works, what does not and preparing to bring in change, we will then be ready to bring our manifestation and wishes to light.

How To:
Much of this information comes from Moonology by Yasmin Boland, plus some intuitive takes.

1. Show gratitude for all that you do have in your life right now at this moment.

2. Play some frequency music. Find the Hz you are looking for by googling. As an example, let’s say your new moon wish is to be more spiritually connected. Google “frequency for spiritual connection,” from there, you can likely select a YouTube video or search the 852 Hz for connection on any of your favourite music streaming platforms. Light a candle or incense.

3. Choose up to 10 wishes or intentions for the four weeks of the Lunar cycle. Get as specific as you can. If you are having trouble narrowing it down to what it is precise that you are wanting, I encourage you to do some personal development practices, such as Reiki, EFT, books, etc.

4. Write the wishes on paper. Express it creatively if you wish. Different shapes of paper, different colours, stickers, just whatever you are called to do. The more energy you invest in this process, it shows the universe your desire and commitment.

5. Read each item aloud – and prioritize. Choose the item(s) that are the most important to you. For your priority wishes or intentions, take this time to visualize it coming to reality and dive into the feelings of having that “thing” come true. Act as if it has already happened. What does that energy feel like?

6. Create affirmations that back up the wish(es), and write that down too.

7. Look at each item and rate from 0-100 what you feel the likelihood is of it coming to be.

8. Go over each item and set intentions on what you plan to do to help these wishes come to light. Sitting and waiting is not going to bring things to you. We have to be willing to take action and watch for guidance along the way.

9. Meditate for a minimum of 15 minutes – and release your dreams into the universe.

10. End your meditation by releasing any attachments to the outcome. Although we set goals, intentions, and wishes, it is not necessarily for our highest good. Try not to control the outcome; aid it with actionable steps. If it is meant to be, it will work; if not – you will come across roadblocks or other signs.

New Moon in Scorpio Energy

New Moon in Scorpio, what you can expect

We have a lot going on in the planetary systems right now, and it is creating a need for introspection and evaluation. Scorpio energy wants you to delve in as deeply as possible into your emotions/feelings. This is an important process as it will help you gain clarity, explore your creativity, new beginnings, and give you a sense of purpose.

The days leading up to the New Moon and a few days after will have you desiring more meaningful emotional exchanges. Shallow relationships will become unsatisfactory – and possibly end those relationships that are not serving the highest good of self.

In this energy, we will feel some force towards change, but we want this transformation to come. We recognize that what we have been doing has not or is no longer working for us, and we are becoming exhausted with all that is no longer in the best interest of self. This is an optimal New Moon energy to allow change to flow, and clarification of long-range goals will be made clear to you.

There is a high emotional intensity at this time. Allow yourself to process it as it comes. This is a time of hard work – hard inner work. Keep the intentions high and honourable, and keep going. You can and will get through this. We need to be willing to look at all sides of ourselves and recognize the shadow work that needs to be done at this time. The shadows of ourselves are not menacing. They are just parts of us that we must learn to work with and use as a tool to better ourselves and our lives, which will enrich the lives of those around us. It is all a ripple effect, do not forget.

New Moon in Scorpio Ritual

The Ritual! This is probably my favourite part of these blogs! I love creating rituals that will help people expand into their greatness.

Firstly, I always recommend a journaling practice daily, but especially during significant moon phases, New Moon-Full Moon. I will provide some journal prompts below to get you started, then you will find a numbered list; this is the actual ritual.

The journal prompts will give you some great questions to reflect upon and maybe bring something to light that you can work on through this New Moon.

Journal Prompts
-Have I been jealous, vengeful, suspicious or otherwise behaved in a toxic way?

-Am I living in fear rather than love?
-Have I been too focused on the negative instead of the positive
-Have I been using my voice for good or cruelty?
-Not all people need this, but has your sex life been satisfactory for those who do? Or has it been leaving you feeling empty or alone?

The Ritual

1. Get Moon water ready. You can do this in a couple of ways. I have been leaning more towards the first way I will explain, but listen to yourself on what you think resonates more with you.
– Drinkable Moon Water. For this one, you are just setting out a glass jar of water with a lid outside overnight to absorb the Moon’s energy. In the morning, bring it in, and drink some. This will help supercharge the energetic body and raise the vibe, which allows the ritual to be more effective. Any water you have saved, keep it in the fridge and drink when you need a “pick me up.”
– Fragrant Moon Water – This will not be a drinkable Moon Water, but no less effective. Same idea as above but this time, we are adding things to the water. Get yourself a glass jar or bowl – make sure it can be covered. Add in crystals, fresh or dried herbs, flowers, essential oils, etc. Whatever you are called to. Put it out under the Moon overnight. In the morning, remove all items from the water, and strain it into a spray bottle. Spray yourself and your spaces with the water to invite the energy in and through you. This also raises the vibe and increases the effectiveness of your ritual and wishes.

2. Smudge your space that you will be doing in the ritual. You can use any smudging material, but I always suggest Palo Santo – it’s my favourite

3. Get into the journaling – use the prompts and anything else that may come to mind or any other questions you want to ask yourself at this time. Allow your intuition to guide you through this.

4. Do the New Moon Wishes exercise above

5. At the beginning of the New Moon exercise, it states to show gratitude. After the exercise, I suggest coming back to gratitude. You can say the same gratitudes, or if new things came to mind, use those or add it to the list from earlier.
