New Moon in Aries Ritual + Writing Prompts: Seed

New Moon in Aries Ritual + Writing Prompts: Seed

This is a very powerful new moon and a very powerful time for setting intentions and planting the seeds we wish to grow and harvest this year. This moon is conjunct the sun (as new moons always are) in Aries—sign of the ram, which begins on the vernal equinox (in the northern hemisphere) each year and kicks off spring, season of birth, growth, fertility and virility. Aries season is always a time of action—and, if utilized wisely, of planning and setting goals and intentions to channel its wild energies within. This particular moon, however, is also conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer, and Mercury, planet of our minds, thoughts, language and communications—giving it a slightly more nuanced, complex and somber flavor.

New Moon in Pisces Ritual + Writing Prompt: Reborn

This new moon is a bit of a paradox, on several levels. Pisces is the end of the zodiac, the end of the astrological year, the last stretch before the new moon in Aries begins the spring, the birth of a new cycle. Pisces, like all mutable signs, is the brink, the edge, the liminal in-between as one season bleeds into the next. The winter melting, almost without notice, into spring.

New Moon in Aquarius Ritual + Writing Prompt—Envision

We began the new year deep in Venus’ retrograde through Capricorn—asking us to deeply examine the structures and foundations of everything we value, relationships, love, beauty, art, money, finances, pleasure. As Venus conjoined Pluto, this excavation went deep into the recesses of our past, our subconscious, even into generational and ancestral layers of our psyches and physiology. The good news is, this week begins a major shift in this energy and a big push for forward momentum.

New Moon in Cancer Ritual + Writing Prompts—Feel

The moon conjuncts the sun at 18º of Cancer on July 9, initiating a new moon cycle and a moment of pattern-setting for the next two week period—as well as the next six months (until we return for the full moon in Cancer, January 17 2022, closing the cycle). The constellation of the crab spans the portion of the sky assigned to Cancer—the word cancer itself is Latin for crab—and this crustacean spirit animal has much to teach us about the lessons and journeys of Cancer season, and this Cancer new moon in particular.

New Moon in Taurus Writing Prompts + Ritual: PLANT

Stop spinning, stop running and rushing and getting it all done. Plant your feet on the soil, the grass, the concrete if that’s what you have. Look up at the dark sky of the new moon. See those extra stars. Take a deep breath. And another. Root. Feel the mother earth beneath you. Her soils dark and dank and fecund, her dirt the womb wrapping all the birthing seeds of spring, ready to break, ready to unravel. Yes, this is a powerful moon to manifest… But before you do. Breathe. Stand on the earth. Look at the sky.

New Moon in Capricorn Writing Prompts + Ritual—Regeneration

Happy first new moon of the new year! I know we were all hoping for a reset after 2020, and I’m sorry to say based on the current events and the astrology, that we’re not there… yet. 2021 will bring a big change in energy—it is the dawning of a new era—but we will have struggles to grapple with yet, both lingering from 2020 and new ones, stamped with the signature of change, innovation, and upheaval, thanks to so much Aquarian, Uranian, and (continued) Plutonian energy at play.
