THE NEW MOON

Tonight is the new moon, so what does that mean?

New Moons are the best time to start something new, get clear on the future and bring fresh energy into our life.

• Set your intentions and journal them down.

• Cut your hair if you'd not like it to grow fast again.

• Take a Fast and Relax. New Moon is the best day in the month to release extra weight, toxins and stagnant energy. Use this day to drink lots of water, herbal teas or detox juices, eat light fruits or steamed unflavoured vegetables, go to a Sauna, get a massage and take rest. Do nothing for one day.

I’ve been interested more and more about the moon and cycles, the ocean and tides, and how it’s all connected—getting the opportunity to live next to the ocean and sitting some days for hours, listening and feeling the water changes you. Most people have to travel far to experience this. There is also a good reason why people are drawn to it. So don’t ignore the pull. It’s healing and offers many things to us. Also, the moon provides something as well.

Not to mention that over the past few years since moving to Vancouver, I have awakened and shed my old ego and the way I live and think. It’s a journey, a soul journey that, unfortunately, only a few get to experience in earth school.

I also understand what it means to be a woman on earth today and how all these things play a part in my moods, energy, and overall feminine divine essence of a soul being here.

Tonight the New Moon will not be able to be seen because when our moon orbits around Earth, it moves in between Earth and the Sun. From Earth, the Moon's surface will look dark because the bright side is facing away from Earth.

We are in a time where we have lost the ability to have or make time and understand what it means to focus on what this all is. So if you’re here for it, welcome. If you are not, maybe next time.

What energy does the new moon bring us, and why does it matter?

New Moons are like a zero starting point. The slate is wiped clean, and the soil is prepared in darkness for new seeds to be planted. New Moons are the best time to start something new, get clear on the future and bring fresh energy into our life. Set your intentions and journal them down.

Now is a perfect time if you are feeling lost or want to get something in the future for yourself. Down below is a list of things you can work on.

How do I manifest on a new Moon?

1. Think about what you want to bring into your life.

2. Create an affirmation.

3. Write in your journal.

4. Plant seeds—literally.

5. Pull an oracle card. If you want to see what that could be for you, send me a DM, and I will pull one for you and send it.

6. Create a vision board.

7. Get a tarot card reading.

8. Reach out to people who can assist you.

Full Moons are the best time to take inventory of what no longer serves you and where we can make more space for something better to come in.

* Let go of unwanted habits, people or circumstances. A full Moon is the most potent moon to help you let go.

* Get a journal and pen to paper and write down what you’d like to release from your life, asking the Full Moon to assist you harmoniously. Then rip the paper apart and burn it outside. I go to the beach in the sand; maybe now is a good time to take a walk in a bush, find a clearing, and make a small hole in the ground to lay the paper and burn it.

* Grow a lion’s mane. Today is the day! A haircut on a full moon grows the hair the fastest, strongest and thickest.

* Plant root and fruit plants. When the energy is retreating and slowly decreasing, it is energetically retreating into the earth. It, therefore, enhances the growth and vitality of roots, like root vegetables, as well as fruit trees and plants. Depending on where you live, I can start outside where I live, and I bought my soil already to do this weekend, but if you can’t because it’s still too cold and you still have snow, you can start them indoors, start the seedlings indoors and if you can get a small grow light—dollar store bulbs.

* Do a house cleanse. As the energies are ready to release and leave, it's the best time in a month to air out the house, use Sage or Palo Santo to smudge each room, including the corners, bring out the garbage as well as unused items to a thrift store, re-arrange books and decorative items, clean the windows and make space for the new to come in.

Make a list of your needs and wants. The Full Moon is energetically the strongest and there to serve and help you.

Well, if you had nothing to do today, you do now. :)
