Anchor into the Earth’s Embrace for Security and Pleasure Under the Taurus New Moon

The new moon in Taurus on April 27, 2025, arrives to bathe us in a grounding, sensual energy that invites us to root deeply into the earth and cultivate lasting abundance. This new moon, nestled in the steadfast, nurturing, and pleasure-seeking earth sign of Taurus, offers a sacred moment to plant seeds of stability, self-worth, and beauty in our lives. New moons are always a time to start fresh, set intentions, and envision your future—but this Taurus new moon, coming just after Earth Day, doubles as a powerful opportunity to connect with the natural world and honor your own worth. For me, this moon feels especially significant after my recent journey of embracing winter’s magic in Minnesota, as it continues the theme of aligning with nature’s cycles and finding peace in stillness.

Taurus is all about grounding, luxury, and the appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. This new moon encourages us to slow down, savor the moment, and build a foundation for long-term growth. As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus reminds us to prioritize self-care, indulge in sensory delights, and cultivate a deep sense of self-worth. This new moon is the time to connect with the most stable, abundant version of yourself—the one that makes you think, “I am worthy of all the beauty and richness life has to offer.” Let this New Moon in Taurus anchor you in the earth’s embrace, helping you manifest a life of security, pleasure, and enduring growth.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the new moon ushers us into a fresh cycle, a moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions. Before we dive into Taurus’s earthy magic, let’s ground ourselves in the essence of the new moon itself. This lunar phase is a time to cleanse your energy, set intentions for the cycle ahead, and plant the seeds of what you wish to manifest. But intentions alone aren’t enough—you must pair them with action and energy to bring them to life. The new moon supports you in this process, offering a fertile space for new ideas, beginnings, and growth.

Historically, our ancestors honored the new moon as a time of rest and renewal, using the darkness of the night sky to reflect and plan, much like they did during seasonal shifts. Think of your intentions as seeds you’re planting now, to be nurtured over the lunar cycle and harvested by the full moon. Each new moon carries its own unique magic, influenced by the zodiac sign it falls in. To learn more about working with the new moon, check out my previous blog post here.

Taurus: The Sign of Grounding and Abundance

Each new moon is amplified by the zodiac sign it occupies, and this time, we’re blessed with the steady, sensual energy of Taurus. So, who is Taurus?

Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is the second sign of the zodiac, governing those born between April 20 and May 20. As an earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus embodies stability, beauty, and a deep connection to the physical world. It’s the sign of the gardener, the artist, and the lover of life’s pleasures—think blooming flowers, a warm meal, or the feel of soft grass beneath your feet. Taurus energy is slow, deliberate, and deeply rooted, encouraging us to build solid foundations for our dreams. It’s also a fixed sign, meaning it’s all about perseverance, loyalty, and seeing things through to the end.

Taurus Constellation

Taurus is one of largest constellations in the northern sky. The constellation is symbolized by the bull’s head. Not only that it is one of the oldest constellations and one of the first ones to spoken and written about. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age .It sits in the evening sky close to the famous constellation Orion and it includes a famous star cluster the pleidess.

According to Greek mythology, the constellation Taurus was placed in the sky by the god Zeus. That’s because Zeus changed himself into a beautiful white Bull to win the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa. After Europa hopped onto the Bull’s back, the Bull swam across the Mediterranean Sea, taking Europa all the way to the island of Crete. Later, Zeus and Europa became the parents of Minos, the legendary king of Crete. In another Greek myth, Zeus’s wife, Juno, changed her lover, Io, into a heifer or bull to hide her from Zeus

Meanwhile, the Zuni of New Mexico used the Pleiades cluster as an agricultural calendar. When the Pleiades – which the Zuni called the Seed Stars – disappeared into the western dusk in spring, they knew it was safe to plant their seeds, as the danger of frost had passed.

Now for the oldest myth I can find. In Babylonian mythology, the bull was known as the Heavenly Bull, or MUL.APIN. This constellation is connected to the story of Gilgamesh. He was the king of the Sumerian city state of Uruk. In the book The Epic of Gilgamesh, the king has to fight the Heavenly Bull. This animal was sent by the goddess Ishtar to kill Gilgamesh. She was so angry at him for not falling for her advances that she thought he deserved to die. Gilgamesh is considered to be represented by the constellation Orion, which is right next to Taurus. The story goes that they are still fighting their battle in the skies.

Taurus: The Sign of Sensuality and Stability

Taurus is the embodiment of earthy sensuality, ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. This sign revels in the material world—think lush gardens, fine fabrics, and the scent of blooming flowers. Taurus energy is grounded, patient, and deeply connected to the body, encouraging us to slow down and savor life’s delights. As a fixed earth sign, Taurus is the rock of the zodiac, offering stability, reliability, and a steadfast commitment to growth.

This new moon in Taurus is a time to embrace your inner gardener, planting seeds that will grow into lasting abundance. Taurus, ruled by Venus, invites us to focus on self-love, beauty, and the creation of a secure foundation. We may feel a surge of desire to nurture ourselves, to indulge in sensory pleasures, and to build a life that feels both luxurious and stable. Use this energy to root deeply into your values, to honor your worth, and to cultivate a sense of peace that withstands life’s storms.

Taurus: The Sign of Self-Worth

Taurus rules the second house in astrology, often called the house of values and possessions. This house governs our relationship with money, self-worth, and the material world, reflecting how we build security and abundance in our lives. Taurus, as the ruler of this house, teaches us that true abundance begins with self-worth. This sign encourages us to value ourselves deeply, to recognize our inherent worth, and to create a life that reflects that value.

Taurus energy is a reminder that we are enough, just as we are. It’s the sign that helps us cultivate a strong sense of self-esteem, grounded in authenticity rather than external validation. During this new moon, focus on what makes you feel worthy, secure, and connected to your body and the earth. Taurus invites us to build a life that feels rich in every sense—emotionally, spiritually, and materially.

Themes of the Taurus New Moon

Every new moon carries themes tied to its zodiac sign, and this Taurus new moon is all about grounding, abundance, and self-worth. We’ll feel a deep pull to slow down, to root into the present moment, and to nurture ourselves with intention. This new moon is about building a foundation for lasting growth, indulging in life’s pleasures, and honoring our inherent value. If you’ve been neglecting your needs or doubting your worth, this is your cosmic invitation to prioritize yourself and create a life that feels secure and beautiful. Keep in mind that this new moon follows Earth Day, amplifying its earthy energy and encouraging us to deepen our connection with nature.

  • Grounding: Anchor yourself in the present and connect with the earth’s stability.
  • Abundance: Plant seeds for financial, emotional, and spiritual prosperity.
  • Self-Worth: Recognize your value and build a life that reflects it.
  • Sensuality: Indulge in sensory pleasures and honor your body.
  • Stability: Create a solid foundation for your dreams.
  • Patience: Embrace the slow, steady pace of growth.
  • Beauty: Surround yourself with beauty and create a life that feels luxurious.
  • Nurturing: Care for yourself and your environment with love.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Taurus New Moon

While Taurus energy is grounding and nurturing, it can also lead to stubbornness and resistance to change. Taurus loves comfort and stability, which might make us cling to old habits or routines, even when they no longer serve us. Be mindful of becoming too rigid—allow yourself to adapt and grow while staying rooted in your values. Additionally, Taurus’s love of luxury can tip into overindulgence, so balance your desire for pleasure with mindfulness and moderation.

This new moon also calls for balance between stability and growth. While Taurus encourages us to build a solid foundation, don’t let that anchor you into stagnation. Use this energy to create security, but remain open to new possibilities. As I’ve learned through my own journey with winter’s stillness, there’s magic in slowing down—but growth often requires us to step beyond our comfort zone, even in small ways.

Taurus and Duality

As a grey witch, I always seek the duality in every energy I work with, including the new moon and the zodiac sign it occupies. Let’s explore the duality of Taurus. On one hand, Taurus is nurturing, sensual, and grounded, offering a stable foundation for growth and a deep appreciation for life’s pleasures. This energy is perfect for cultivating self-worth, building abundance, and rooting into the present moment. On the other hand, Taurus can be stubborn and resistant to change, sometimes leading to stagnation or an overattachment to material comforts. This duality reminds us that while stability is essential, we must also remain flexible to evolve.

The new moon itself is a liminal space, embodying duality through its balance of light and shadow. It’s a time of beginnings, but those beginnings are born from endings—a cycle of death and rebirth. Just as I learned to embrace winter’s stillness as a precursor to spring’s renewal, this Taurus new moon invites us to find harmony between grounding and growing, between indulgence and discipline.

Blossom with balance under the pink full moon in Libra

This month’s full moon graces the skies on April 12th bringing balance and harmony with the scales of Libra as the pink moon blossoms. The energy behind this Pink Full Moon is one of Action, taking advantage of opportunities, bringing dreams into fruition, and balancing our relationships. As the pink moon blooms we will feel more forward momentum and a greater sense of clarity when it comes to our path ahead in life. In the days and weeks following this Full Moon, we may feel that we have finally shed an old cycle as dead petals fall to the ground and new ones open and bloom. Bringing us into a compassionate place of balance with ourselves and in each of our relationships in life. Come join me in this blog post as our petals open and blossom with balance under the pink full moon in Libra.

First, What is the Full Moon

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached it’s peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen. The full moon allows you to bridge the connection between these energies and themes and bring them into your life while reminding you how important it is to have them in your life not only when the moon is illuminated in the sky for you to see.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon, to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here and you can watch my class all about lunar magic. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

The Pink Moon

As the sun brightens up our lives with longer days beckoning the plants to grow and flowers to bloom once again. The night time skies shimmer with the ethereal and refreshing energy of the full moon known as the Pink moon. The Pink Moon is a name given to the April full moon, originating from the pink flowers, known as wild creeping phlox, that typically bloom during this time of year in North America. However, despite the name, the Moon itself doesn’t actually appear pink but instead takes on its usual golden or white hue. The energy of this pink moon is palpable with its anticipation for new opportunities, new beginnings, and fresh intentions. Just as the pink flowers of spring are blooming after a long winter, this full moon encourages us to shed the old and embrace the new.

Even though the Worm moon last month in March was the first full moon of spring; this pink moon is the one that really tells us spring has sprung! The pink moon is a reminder of the cyclical nature of life, encouraging us to embrace transformation, nurture growth, and find beauty in the always changing world around us. Use the Pink Moon as a time to pause, reflect, recalibrate, and make sure you’re moving in the right direction. Under the shimmering glow of this pink moon you will feel a pull to truth-seeking, boundary-setting, and energetic maintenance.

As with most pagan names there will be different ones for each culture so below I listed any of the other names for the Pink moon I could find across the Earth. The common themes for these moons are; the end of Winter, the beginning of Spring, new beginnings, renewal, and the movement of nature.

So, who is Libra?

As the seventh sign in the zodiac, Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and relationships. The air element, associated with intellect and communication, governs Libra, adding a layer of social intelligence and charm to this sign and how they interact with the rest of the zodiac. Libra is known for its need for balance and harmony, its social grace, its ability to foster cooperation and compromise, and its keen eye for beauty and aesthetics.

Libra, the scales of balance

Libra is unique in the zodiac for it is the only one represented by an inanimate object; the scales. All other signs are represented by a human or an animal. The symbol of the scales represents the necessity of balance in every area of life. They are a reflection of what we are truly working to achieve: a balance between light and dark with the right amounts of each. Not only in our live but, also in the energy balance of the multiverse as a whole. When the Moon is in the accommodating sign of Libra, you will feel much more focused on creating balance and harmony all around you. You will be forced to set things on the cosmic scale of the multiverse and see their true nature and weight. Libra doesn’t just appreciate balance and what the scales has to say. Libra also seeks out the imbalance, and welcomes it with open arms so they can fix it. They view it as their cosmic responsibility to set everything on the scales around them to maintain cosmic balance and harmony.

The Libra Constellation

Libras constellation lies in the southern sky. The association of this region of the sky with scales was seen in both babylon and Rome. It is said that the Moon was in Libra when Rome was founded even. Which made Libra very sacred to the people of the city. The Romans considered Libra to be associated with balanced seasons and equal length of night and day. Most likely due to the fact that when this constellation is the most visible is right after the autumn equinox. The Romans believed the scales were held by the goddesses Astraea or Lustitia, the goddess of truth and justice, up in the night sky. Unlike the romans the ancient Greeks, did not hold Libra in such high esteem. For they thought Libra was just the outstretched claws of the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion without its own myth for it being placed amongst the stars.

Magical themes for the Pink full moon in Libra

Every full Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time we experience the full moon under the harmonious, balanced, fair, loving, beautiful, peaceful, and justice seeking sign of the scales Libra. You are most likely to see themes focused on these topics to tip the scales of your life into a harmonious and empowered balance. The Libra full Moon is all about finding ways to reestablish balance that has been lost. Finding a sense of balance allows us to deal with life’s issues easier, and reminds you that we have the tools and ability to cope with any situation. It helps us to discover the peaceful neutral point from which clarity, common sense, and cooperation come from to create lasting and meaningful bonds with others around us. This is an energy we really need right now with the current political climate. Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams. So, make sure your release work helps you make those happen. Let’s shine a light on some of the themes and energies of Libra more brightly below.

  • harmony
  • Peace
  • Justice
  • Equality
  • balance
  • connection
  • beauty
  • self love
  • duality
  • charm
  • community

  • rebirth
  • growth
  • awakening
  • transformation
  • Emotional healing
  • reflection
  • Manifestation
  • Divine Feminine
  • Creation/Creativity
  • innovation
  • generosity
  • adaptability
  • societal progress
  • productivity

Libra the sign of Fairness and Justice

Libra is an intellectual sign concerned with fairness, equality, and justice. Libra wants everyone in the world to be treated fairly, with dignity and respect, and to have equal rights and protections. No one is above anyone else on this planet for we all are one and from the same source, and Libras scales force you to remember that. Libra feels deep pain when looking down from the stars, to see all of the fighting and destruction in the world. They seek harmony and honesty, using their innate empathy as a driving force to seek justice for others. Libra craves for everyone to just get along living alongside each other in peach and harmony. They are willing to do anything and to make any compromise to get it, even at the cost of themselves at times.

Libra the sign of connection and relationships

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. During this full Moon, the energies of Libra will be magnified, inviting us to focus on creating balance in our relationships, and remembering the importance of the dance of give and take to maintain it. Libra’s essence is about fostering meaningful connections and harmony with all those around us. Libra does this by finding ways to unite opposites and achieve compromise through active and loving relationships. It’s also a time to envision healthy, supportive relationships that can honor our soul’s path while we honor others’ paths. It can be challenging to form partnerships where both people’s individual life paths are honored. We need partners who can walk with us while walking their own paths.

Chiron the wounded healer is active

Chiron, the asteroid named after the wounded healer, is active under this Full Moon adding a layer of potent healing to the transformative energy of the pink moon. By forcing us to tend to and weed out the wounds that hurt us the most to allow us to fully bloom. This is because, Chiron represents the forever wounds that become a part of our being. They are the wounds that cut us to our core, the ones we think about when we are alone at night, and the ones that never truly leave us. Chiron is one of my favorite energies to work with and I feel he is overlooked so much when he is active. So, who is he? He is the most famous centaur, from later Greek Mythology, and he was known to be a wise man and a healer. In Greek Mythology, it was Chiron who taught humanity the constellations. That’s huge! Chiron is our celestial teacher. On top of that, many well known Greek gods and goddesses looked to him for spiritual advice, most will know him nowadays through the hero Hercules. Chiron wasn’t necessarily on a self-healing journey, but by being of service to others and sharing his story as a teacher, he too, experienced healing and became known as the wisest healer and teacher of them all. But remember, Chiron’s energy is not about “fixing” your wounds, rather it’s about radically accepting them. It’s about knowing that our wounds are part of this earthly experience and don’t prevent us from being able to lead a beautiful and fulfilling life . One that is full of purpose instead of suffering. Chiron wants us to acknowledge our wounds as a part of the fabric of our destiny, and something that can make us stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. When Chiron is active some of the most profound healing can happen.  To learn more about him check out my guide HERE!

Venus the planet of love goes direct

Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, is also adding a third layer of healing under this Full Moon as she prepares to emerge from the underworld. After being retrograde since March 1st forcing us into the shadows of our hearts and the wounds of our relationships. She will be pulling on our hearts to act on those insights she has shown us. By forcing us this past month to question our relationships or dynamics and patterns playing out within them. Those cycles we noticed with our loved ones we are wanting to break? Now is the time to be able to do just that with Venus’s compassionate embrace. Be willing to release or let something go that no longer aligns with this new rebirth of the heart that Venus has been instigating for us. Then watch as your relationships bloom with a deepened love under Venus and the pink full moon.

What to be cautious of during a Libra full moon

Libra is one of the most beloved signs in the zodiac, I think mainly due to its loving, and compassionate nature. That is really truly willing to do anything for you to keep the peace, including avoiding at all cost confrontation and conflict. While this energy will have a loving and reviving energy to our relationships, connections, and the bonds we hold most dear. We do have a few things to be cautious of and keep in mind with this Libra new moon and its energy. Libra’s deep desire to maintain the peace and harmony around us may allow us to let others run us over, take advantage of us, and we may just sit and duck our heads. Instead of speaking up for ourselves, you may choose to just keep the peace instead. Be cautious with this because, peace in the community is not worth the cost of your inner peace. To gain true balance and equilibrium in the multiverse your happiness matters just like the rest. Let’s not forget as an air sign as well Libra has a gift with their tongue and is able to make you feel quite charming. So, if you do speak up keep that in mind with the words you choose and whom you speak them too. Don’t unwilling use you golden tongue right now to lure others to you whom shouldn’t be.

Libra full moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. First let’s talk about the duality of the full moon. The full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality. Second,  let’s talk about the duality of Libra. With Libra I feel the duality is pretty obvious since this energy is all about balance and equilibrium. Which means equal parts of two different things. When Libra sets things on the scales they are acknowledging the importance of both existing but, that finding balance between both is key. Libra reminds us that embracing duality and balance is the key; for everything is all connected.

Correspondences for the Libra full moon

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like for Libra, I will list below for you to use.

Intention and release bay leaf ritual to balance the scales

The ritual I am bringing to you for this Libra full moon will allow you to not only release patterns and relationships that no longer serve you. But, will allow you to balance the scales and create equilibrium in your release work. By not only using the energy of the full moon to let go of the hurts from the past that are keeping you stuck. But, to also attract your manifestations on the other side of the scale weighing it down. You see to create true equilibrium and balance in your life you can’t just release the things holding you back in the past. You must also set new intentions for the future. Try this spell below to even the scales of your life underneath the light of Libra full moon tonight.

What you will need:

  • 6 bay leaves
  • a pen or marker
  • 3 small bowls
  • a white candle
  • a black candle

How to cast this spell:

First, take your time to do whatever it is you need to get into a magical state to be able to create a sacred container. If this means you meditate, light incense, lower the lights, whatever it is you need, do it now. Next make sure to take your 3 bowls and place them in a line of three in front of you with a white candle in the one on the right and a black candle in the one on the left. Once, you feel your physical environment is set up, I want you to get into sacred container by taking some deep breaths and envisioning the new moon above you. Sending grey, silvery light full of balance, equilibrium, and duality from the scales of Libra down on you tonight. Now in your right hand place 3 bay leaves, envisioning white light of intention and planting seeds. Allow that light to guide your heart and show you what it is you need to start. Whether it be new habits, relationships, or finding new ways to do your part. Follow that light to see what it is you need to truly live a life of balance, fairness, and harmony. Once you feel those intentions anchored in your heart take your pen or marker and write each of the three on separate bay leaves. Than place in the bowl on the right, and light your white candle connecting those intentions to the white energy of intention and the full moon above. Next, take a deep breath and in your left hand place 3 bay leaves, envisioning black light of letting go and releasing. Allow that light to guide your heart and show you what it is that is blocking you. From truly being able to reach a state of balance, fairness, and equality. Is there an addiction, a trauma, or relationship no longer creating growth but holding you back? What is sitting there in the shadows of you heart tipping your scales to far into the dark? Once you feel you know what that blockage is for you to release and you feel ready to let it go. Take your pen or marker and write each of the three blockages on separate bay leaves. Than place them in the bowl on the left, and light the black candle, connecting you with the black energy of our shadow and releasing. Next, take the deepest of breaths pick up the bay leaves on the right and as you light them in the candle flame repeat of white, ” I light these leaves to represent the light of my intentions set this night.” Next, take another deep breath and pick up the bay leaves on the left and as you light them in the black candle flame repeat, “I light these bay leave to represent the darkness and past in my life I choose to release”. Lastly, take the ashes from the bowl on both left and the right and pour them into the center bowl as you say. “”As the scales of Libra find balance tonight, so too shall my life be in perfect equilibrium and invoke peace and harmony for myself and all those around me.” Take this bowl of balance created with your intentions planted, and your blockages released and leave it in the center of your altar until the new moon shines its silvery rays again over your life.

Ignite a fire of change and a passionate pursuit of our goals with the Aries new moon and solar eclipse

The new moon in March is set to ignite the night sky with the passionate energy allowing us to met any challenge and obstacle with determination. This new moon occupied by a solar eclipse is here to challenge your comfort zone, push you toward growth, and help you step into a more authentic version of yourself. This new moon we will find ourselves in the headstrong, motivated, energetic, confident, independent, and passionate fire sign of the ram, Aries. New moons are an opportunity to start fresh, plant seeds, and envision your future—and this month’s new moon in Aries happens to be the first new moon of the astrological year. In other words? Consider it time to set your “New Year’s” resolutions for the astrological year. For me this is the third time during the year I set year long resolutions. This moon in particular means really big change, taking big, bold, brave steps towards the life your truly want to live.

Aries is full of energy, enthusiasm, and spunk, and wants to get things going. The new moon in Aries is an opportune time to initiate change, take action towards goals, and renew oneself. Aries is also the sign of Self, which means you get to be a little bit selfish during this new moon phase. During this new moon in Aries, it’s time for you to focus on yourself and be willing to face change head on without hesitation in your mind or fear in your heart. This new moon is the time to connect with your highest, best, most amazing version of you – the one that makes you think “holy sh*t I can’t believe this is my life.” Let this new Moon in Aries ignite a fiery burst of energy within you. Allow it to start a bright, burning, raging fire of change, and a passionate pursuit of our goals.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we ignite our passion and take determined action with the Aries new moon. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

The Solar eclipse energy

Before we talk about the ram and the Aries energy the new moon is going to be in we have another energy to talk about. The solar eclipse that will be taking place as well. So what is a solar eclipse?  A Solar Eclipse appears when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking out the light of the Sun. It’s considered to be three times more potent than a regular New Moon because it’s happening in close proximity to the Lunar Nodes of Destiny. During a solar eclipse symbolically, the energies associated with the Moon eclipse those of the Sun, so that feelings and emotions dominate over the ego and the will.

Beyond its astronomical wonder, the solar eclipse holds spiritual significance for many. It symbolizes a time of darkness and spiritual renewal, offering an opportunity for introspection and the shedding of old energies. In astrology, the eclipse signifies the darkness of the ego and the potential for spiritual rebirth, marking a moment to release past patterns and embrace new perspectives.

Eclipses bring about energy of great change meant to shake things up. To create an intense time of great transformation, rebirth, and growth. A solar eclipse specifically is a time of new beginnings, taking initiative, and starting brand new things like jobs, businesses, projects, and relationships. This energy is all about change, transformation, good luck, growth, and abundance. This energy is known to change the wheel of fate and awaken things for us. Despite the fated nature, Eclipses should not be feared but welcomed as a source of evolutionary change that leads to a powerful yet often uncomfortable, and even painful transformation

Who is Aries?

Like, I said before each new moon will be amplified and influenced by the zodiac sign we find it in and this time the new moon is in the sign of Aries. So who is Aries?

Aries symbolized by the ram is the first sign of the zodiac which makes it the go-getter of the Zodiac. People born between March 21st and April 19th are considered Aries. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries symbolizes new beginnings, assertiveness, and the pursuit of our passions. It’s ruled by Mars, the God of war, making the ram a fearless fighter. Aries is a fire sign, and its energy is passionate, dynamic, and driven. Through the sign of the Ram, we tap into our inner fire, embody our inner warrior, and work on developing a conscious relationship with our anger. Aries is the sign to commit to personal goals and have the fiery motivation to see them through to the end. Aries is the sign to connect us with our capacity to be the leaders of our lives, to take paths that no one ever walked before, to go toward the direction that instinctively calls to us. Aries, is known to be a little bit faster to react because, they are more intrigued by doing something they’ve never done before. Being ruled by mars Aries is much more willing to take a risk or take a gamble by pushing into the unknown and usually being the first one to do it as well.

Aries Constellation

Aries is one of the smallest constellations of the zodiac sitting in Northern sky. This constellation is located between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. The constellation has been associated with a ram since ancient times. In ancient Babylon, the Aries star constellation was known by the name CHUN-GA, or Aries. Also, the Persians, the ancient Egyptians, and the Minoans called it ‘Aries’ as well. Ultimately, by way of Greece, the constellation came to Rome, where astronomers gave it the Latin name ‘Aries’; meaning ram.

I find that Aries has one of the largest varieties of legends and myths about it’s placement in the skies and it’s association with the ram. One of the simplest and most commonly known legends attributes the name of the constellation to Zeus, who turned into a ram while fleeing the overpowering Titans which is why the image was place amongst the stars.

In another, less well known telling of the Aries constellation myth, a Roman writer Hygenius describes how Bacchus aka Dionysus (greek), the god of wine, together with his cheerful entourage, unexpectedly lost his way in the vastness of the Libyan Desert. In this dry wasteland, they were soon plagued by terrible thirst. Fortunately, they met a friendly ram that led Bacchus and his party to a source of water, saving them from certain death. In gratitude, Bacchus placed the ram amongst the stars in the heavens for all eternity.

In the most well known Aries constellation myth of Greek origin, King Athamas appointed his eldest son Phrixos as his heir to the throne. His current wife, Ino, however, wanted to see her own son named the heir. For this reason, the queen devised a plan to cause the crops of their land to not flourish and grow. She let the seed rot and spoil, so when they were planted the following year they would not be able to grow.

Once the crops that season had failed to grow she convinced her husband, the king to consult an oracle that she had visited prior and had under her control. He was told that if he wanted to avoid another crop failure in the following year, he would have to sacrifice his son Phrixos; the one he had named as his heir.

The king had agreed but, on the day of the offering, a magnificent ram, summoned by Nephele (Phrixos’s biological mother) appeared in a shining golden fleece. Phrixos and his sister, Helle, swiftly mounted the ram’s back and flew away. But high above the strait separating Europe and Asia, Helle fell into the sea, where she drowned. The ram flew on with Phrixos on his back to the land of Colchis, where the boy was well received. Upon the Ram’s wish as a thanks for his service; Phrixos sacrificed him to the gods where he now resides in the heavens among the stars for all eternity.

Aries The Primal Sign Of Passion

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac which means it is the big bang, our life force, the element of fire, primal passion, anger, rage, and ruled by Mars the God of War- this sign is the sign of life itself. It is the spark needed to light the tinder for existence to evolve. It is our will to persist no matter what obstacles are in our way. This sign is a Cardinal sign which means it is a leader, an initiator, and a visionary of the cosmos.

This new Moon is a time to embrace our inner warrior. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, passion, and aggression. During this full Moon, we may feel a surge of energy, passion, and assertiveness. We can use this energy to break free from old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. We can assert our boundaries, speak our truth, and take action toward our deepest desires with the flames of burning passion.

Aries The Sign Of Independence

This sign is also a sign of independence which means it’s a time to focus on what YOU really truly want for YOU and not for others. You will feel many things coming up for you that may surprise you especially if you are a people pleaser. The energy of Aries really pushes you to think about what makes YOU and YOU alone happy and whole. One of Aries’ “lessons” is to show a pure part of ourselves to the world. By acting upon our own inner impulses (constructive ones!) without fear, and by abandoning the need to refine these impulses based on what others might want us to do or what others think we “should” do, we learn more about ourselves. If we learn to depend on ourselves, we exude an all-new aura of strength that comes from personal integrity and confidence, and strength.

Aries the sign of action

Aries is the zodiac sign of action, as it is associated with initiation, taking the lead, and making a mark on the world. Aries draws fire into the atmosphere, stimulating life force and vitality pushing us into action. Aries it the energy that lights the fire in our soul driving us to make our mark on the world. Aries teaches us that courage is the key to unlocking our full potential. And that comes from connecting your head to your heart, focusing your will, and taking consistent action. Aries is a cardinal sign, which means it is associated with taking the lead and driving change. Aries is nothing if not bold, preferring to act first and think later never hesitating to step into the unknown.

Aries the ruler of self

Since Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is also the ruler of the first house in astrology. Which is often called the house of self. In this house you are given a window into understanding more about your outward appearance, traits, characteristics, outlook, and sense of expression. This house is the location of your ascendant or rising sign, which speaks to how you present yourself in the world. Since Aries rules this house, Aries represents consciousness, that first awareness of the self, separate from others and eager to explore the world. Aries is the personal fire deep within your soul, it’s our true self. Aries is the zodiac sign that blazes with a strong sense of self-worth, self-assurance, and self- confidence. Aries has the purest sense of self it’s the sign that truly navigates life in the 1st person perspective and approaches the world only as they authentically are.

Themes of the Aries new moon

Every new Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the new Moon in the energetic, motivated, independent, confident, and headstrong Aries. We feel that in a fiery burst of passion, strength, and determination under the glow of the new moon. This new moon is all about utilizing the fire within, embracing leadership, and conquering fears. If you’ve been holding back, this is your cosmic green light to move forward with intentional action.

Keep in mind that the new Moon relates to the start of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams. This will be especially strong this new moon being in the sign of our self, determination, and motivation. We will feel a blazing strong pull to take intentional steps down the path where all our goals will be met. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics, and be grounded in those seeds of intention you are determined to plant this new moon. Don’t forget this full moon is layered with many energies for you to connect to as well like Spring equinox that just woke us and nature up from our winter hibernation.

What To Be Cautious Of With The Aries new Moon

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of explosive anger and outbursts. The energy of Aries is grounded in Mars, which is all about aggression, war, and conflict. So, take the time to stop and think before you let the little things allow you to blow up right now and create conflicts in your life by making small things bigger than they need to be. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, and connected to who you are so your emotions don’t allow you to wander from your goals, let your ego get in the way, or allow your anger to create unnecessary conflict with others.

Also remember, as you tap into Aries’ pioneering spirit, that new Moons also highlight balance not just new beginnings. While you may feel the urge to charge ahead, don’t forget to pause, reflect, and ensure that your actions align with your higher purpose. Aries can sometimes push us toward impulsive decisions, so let the fire of this new Moon guide you with both confidence and mindfulness. It’s great to let our passion and motivation propel us forward without fear, but also remember that fear does serve a purpose. It keeps us safe and whole. So, while you use that bold, assertive, and headstrong Aries energy to pursue your dreams and goals make sure you listen to red flags of urgent danger that pop up along the way.

Aries and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, let’s look at the duality of Aries itself. Aries is known for being assertive and enjoying excitement, which can make it an energy that is full of passion, confidence and a bit impulsive. Which is an amazing energy for being able to truly let go of things no longer serving you by burning it away and moving forward in life with fiery motivation and passion. It can also be a potent time to really take steps towards the biggest goals for you unique path in life. However, it can also be known for that passion turning into a fiery temper. Which can cause us to lash out in anger towards those who are only trying to help us meet our goals and walk down our intended path. Once we feel discord in our relationships because of our own anger, it can make us feel isolated and cause us to no longer focus on the passion of this energy to meet our goals. Second, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

Ritual To Connect To Your Anger

Working with our anger can be a powerful, potent, and liberating experience. Anger in and of itself is not a negative. No emotion is negative since every emotion serves a function and is sending us a message. How we use our anger is what determines whether it’s constructive or destructive. As the Aries new moon summons your inner warrior, think of your anger as a battle cry to pay attention to your boundaries, your passions, and your unmet needs and/or desires. If you’ve been letting someone push you around, it’s time to address the unworkable behavior and create a new way of interacting. Don’t be afraid to simply just let some pent up anger out as well by just letting a scream, yell, shout, or cry out to mother nature and the cosmos.

Use the journal prompts below to connect to your anger in a quiet sacred container. You can amplify the affect right now by having a red, orange, or white candle burning next to you as you do this work. The candle will help you connect to the element of fire, the planet mars, and the energy of Aries. Once you have completed the prompts below, you can than take the answers and burn the list in your candle flame to release any of the unwanted and negative affects of the anger you have been harnessing during this session. Don’t forget to visualize you harnessing your anger in a productive and constructive way in the future to manifest it into you life as you are also releasing the unwanted affects.

  • How does my anger hold me back?
  • When was the last time you felt very angry and what was the trigger?
  • What happens to your body when you are angry?
  • Are there any behaviors you do when you are angry you are not angry or happy about?
  • How do you currently handle anger? How would you like to handle your anger?
  • Do you have areas in your life you need to harness your anger to be more assertive?
  • Are there areas or causes in your life you need to harness your anger for the sake of justice and protecting others?
  • Is your anger being mistaken for something else? Like loneliness, hurt, passion, assertiveness etc.
  • Where in your life do you need to let go of anger and what does that look like?

Trust the unseen, embrace the flow, and create your dream life with the Pisces new moon

The second new moon of 2025 graces the skies with its sliver of light on February 27th. This time we find the moon under the creative, spiritual, compassionate, empathetic, and dreamy sign of Pisces. Pisces is the clairvoyant of the zodiac. It is a sign with a deep sensitivity to those around them and heightened sense of intuition. New Moons are always a time of new beginnings, and the New Moon in Pisces inspires us to imagine the future we want deep down we are afraid to let rise to the surface. But, this new moon is the time when we overcome our fears so that we can begin manifesting the things we’ve fantasized about. The things our heart is almost too afraid to reach for. A new moon in Pisces is a time for emotional intensity, spiritual growth, and reflection. It is also a time to dream big, be creative, and leap without fear into new beginnings. This new moon in Pisces inspires us to attune to our intuition and strengthen our capacity to flow with life. This new moon along side the ethereal two fishes is all about connecting with your intuition and setting intentions aligned with your highest self. Pisces energy encourages us to trust the unseen, embrace flow, and water seeds that align with our dream life. This new moon is a time for deep introspection and renewal, marking a new beginning with a focus on your inner world and dreams. Allowing us to plant seeds of infinite potential within our inner temples to cultivate our most spiritual and dreamy life.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we dive into the depths of our dreams with the Pisces fishes. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

Who is Pisces?

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by the planet Neptune, and is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. People born between February 19 and March 20 are Pisces. It’s symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces’ attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson—the joys and the pains, the hopes and the fears—learned by all of the other signs. This makes these fish the most psychic, empathetic, and compassionate creatures of the astrological wheel.

Since, Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet that governs creativity and dreams; these ethereal fish adore exploring their boundless imaginations. But, Neptune also oversees illusion and escapism. Neptune’s energy is like the energy of the ocean: magical, mysterious, and often scary. When the fog is thick on the water, the horizon is obstructed and there is no differentiation between the sea and the sky.

Pisces the Constellation

The Pisces constellation is one of the largest northern sky constellations. Pisces lies between Aries constellation to the east and Aquarius to the west. . According to legend the constellation is composed of two fish who are connected together by a ribbon. The fish are the goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros (Roman: Venus and Cupid). They turned themselves into fish in order to escape from the monster Typhon. They then connected themselves together with a ribbon in order not to be separated. There is also a different origin tale that Hyginus preserved in another work. According to this, an egg rolled into the Euphrates, and some fishes nudged this to the shore, after which the doves sat on the egg until Aphrodite (thereafter called the Syrian Goddess) hatched out of it. The fishes were then rewarded by being placed in the skies as a constellation.

Pisces The Most Potent Time To Manifest

Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. The new Moon in Pisces is a time of healing, a time of magic, and most importantly, one of the most potent times to practice manifestation work. That’s because Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination and mysticism, which means you’ll not only be more connected to your creativity but also your spiritual center. You have the opportunity to slip into the flow and waters of life now. When that happens, you want what is happening and what is happening is what you want. Your manifesting is working perfectly and you are able to create new things and new dreams you have never imagined before now. Get prepared because the flow of abundance, creativity, and realized dreams is coming your way under this new moon light.

Pisces The Sign of Creativity

The Pisces new Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily. The energy of Pisces guides us to go with the flow, to be less concerned with planning and plotting, and instead, to bring ourselves into the present moment. While we may not have all the answers and be in a state of unknowing, this new Moon reminds us that this is where our true creative powers lie. Allow the energy of the two fishes to let your creativity naturally flow from you in ways you have never experienced before.

Pisces The Sign of Compassion and Empathy

Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with this new Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can’t help themselves. At the center of the Pisces new Moon lie themes of healing, kindness, and sensitivity. This lunar phase invites us to nurture our emotional well-being, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and embrace the healing power of love and forgiveness. You can utilize the energy of this new moon to heal relationships by starting some new ones and bringing the energy of new beginnings through forgiveness . You can look into the depths of your soul to face past hurts in a relationship and heal deep wounds that may still be lingering causing resentment and friction.

Pisces The Sign of Spirituality

Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. It is an energetic frequency that dissolves boundaries, allowing us to tap into the collective consciousness and access deeper layers of intuition. This new moon ask you to dive deep into your unconsciousness, let go of fear, and embrace the unknown of starting new things . Allow the waves of Pisces to push you forward onto the next chapter unfolding now in front of you.

Pisces The Ruler of What’s Hidden

Pisces rules what’s hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, whether its being kept from us by others or ourselves. We can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. It reminds us that while being authentic and open with others is great to do, we don’t always need to tell everyone our WHOLE truth. It encourages us to tap into the realm of dreams and imagination, including things we never think we could see. To envision a future aligned with our soul’s purpose and our wildest dreams. Pisces inspires us to imagine things we have yet to even know our soul has dreamed.

Themes for the Pisces New moon

Every single new moon we experience will have it’s own themes that align with the sign it is in. This time, we experience the new Moon in the dreamy, creative, innovative, ethereal, physic, and spiritual Water sign Pisces. Pisces is also a Mutable sign, the most adaptable and flexible of the signs. The new Moon in Pisces invites us into the magic of infinite possibility. It also reminds us of a profound truth we are energetic beings, connected to everything in the Universe. From the stars above to the deepest oceans, we share the same cosmic essence. Our dreams and visions exist in this vast field of potential, already alive within us just waiting for us to bring them to life. Use this new moon in Pisces to find creative solutions to any challenges or issues you’ve been facing because you’ll feel both more creative and better able to go with the flow. If the Pisces fish can teach us anything, it’s that there are no wrong paths. The two fish of Pisces swim in opposite directions, and yet, their journey is a circle meaning they will eventually both land in the same place.

  • Creative
  • Dreamy
  • Emotional
  • Sensitive
  • Innovative
  • kind
  • Supportive
  • Imaginative
  • Intuitive
  • Psychic
  • Romantic
  • Compassionate

Things to look out for with the Pisces new moon

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of emotional overwhelm. Pisces energy can easily blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality, leading to confusion and escapism, including a lot of time spent getting lost in daydreaming. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, to honor our emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to cultivate practices that promote inner peace and clarity. You also might be more susceptible to absorbing others’ negativity or taking things personally, so set clear boundaries and practice self-care. Practicing self care will allow you to build up self worth and use it to not blur the lines between your emotions and others. Lastly don’t forget the dreamy nature of Pisces can lead to unclear thinking, so avoid making major life choices without careful consideration.

Pisces and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the new moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in like Pisces. First, let’s look at the duality of Pisces itself. First, we see it in the representation of the two fishes in it’s symbol. It shows us that the two fish even though they may be swimming different directions. They will always eventually meet with each other at the same spot to complete their cosmic circle. We also see the essence of duality in the way Pisces calls us into the deep to look at our deepest emotions, and wounds guiding us to release them. This is a needed thing for healing and change but, the depths of the emotions can also feel like they are drowning us amongst their rough waves.

Second, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

Correspondences for the Pisces new moon

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like for Pisces, I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond to the moon itself as well.

  • planet-Neptune
  • Animal-Fish/dolphin
  • Element- water
  • Sex- Feminine
  • Modality- mutable
  • Symbol- the fishes
  • colors- Sea green, blue, lavender
  • Phrase/motto- I Believe
  • Chakra- Sacral/
  • Herbs- seaweed, Irish moss, Jasmine, Gardenia, Lotus, chamomile
  • Stones/ crystals- Aquamarine, Amethyst, Pearl, moonstone, Ruby, Ocean Jasper, blue lace agate
  • tarot- the moon
  • Deities- Aphrodite, Eros, Isis, Neptune, Poseidon

How to connect to the Pisces new moon

Now, that we have talked about the themes of this dreamy, creative, innovative, ethereal, physic, and spiritual Water Pisces; new moon and how it is going to affect you let’s talk about how you can specifically connect to and work with this moon. First, make sure to do all of your staples that your learned in the previous blog post on the new moon and the moon in general like, charging your crystals, making moon water, and resetting your altar.

With this moon there are certain spells and rituals that will help connect you to this moon in the most effective way. With the Moon in Pisces, magic associated with dreams, emotional healing, relationships, creativity, and your psychic intuition will be extra potent right now.

Embrace a new start and your own uniqueness to help the greater good with the Aquarius new moon

The first new moon of 2025 graces the skies with its sliver of light on January 29th. This time we find the moon under the innovative, curious, humanitarian, freedom seeking, independent, go with the flow of change; Aquarius. Aquarius the water bearer pushes us to venture outside of our comfort zones, and to experiment. The status quo isn’t working, so doing things differently is something we’re open to doing. As we focus on the future and we’re open to doing things differently, it allows us to take control of it. Aquarius is the 11th sign in the Zodiac and is teeming with energy all about the doing the greater good for humanity through your own uniqueness. This energy is an energy we are really needing right now with everything going on in the world. Tapping into the energy of Aquarius right now will allow us to be able to go with the flow of massive change happening around us. Allowing us to not have so much resistance to the flow, so we can find a new way creative way to help humanity and protect our unique way of life. The Aquarius New Moon is all about embracing a fresh start that aligns with your true self to help the greater good of the collective. The Aquarius New Moon, happening alongside the beginning of the Year of the Snake, encourages us to welcome renewal, seek clarity, and embrace the beauty of transformation by shedding our skins.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we climb the highest mountains to reach our dreams this year with the Capricorn new moon. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here.

Chinese new year, celebrating the lunar new year

Before we get to know the water bearer Aquarius, we first need to talk about another energy coming into play. Because this new moon is a special one marking the beginning of the lunar year and calendar for many cultures. One of the most popular cultures to celebrate the lunar new year is the Chinese. The Chinese new Year is perhaps the most elaborate, colorful, and important in the culture. Chinese New Year, just like the Western new Year, signifies turning over a new leaf and starting something new. Marking the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season, Chinese New Year celebrates looking to the future for new beginnings with themes of happiness, health family, and good fortune. This Chinese new year marks the arrival of the Wood Snake, a rare and meaningful combination that appears only once every 60 years. This year of the Snake signifies introspection, subtle power, and transformative growth. It embodies a quiet yet potent and sometimes lethal energy capable of illuminating hidden paths and fostering deep emotional and spiritual understanding. Its strategic, resourceful nature makes it an excellent year for long-term growth. To learn more about the the Chinese new year and how to celebrate it today alongside this new moon read my guide here.

So who is Aquarius?

Aquarius is the sign that brings progression, liberation, innovation, and world-mindedness to the zodiac. It’s the sign of broad learning, and the shedding of the past. It’s the sign of new, and sometimes radical, beginnings. Even though it is commonly mistaken for a water sign due to it being represented by the water bear; it is actually attached to the element of air. This is because Aquarius represents the movement of knowledge, wisdom, creativity, and connection to the collective through life. By spreading it on the breath of the spirit ( AIR) to humanity for the greater good. Aquarius allows for the flow of ideas and gifts for humanity with the ability to tune into the universal mind and think outside the box without fear. Aquarius is the futuristic sign of the universal collective due to it’s placement being the 11th sign and looking both at the end of cycle and towards the next one.

Aquarius Constellation

The constellation of Aquarius is depicted as a youthful boy pouring water in the mouth of a fish, the fish that represents Pisces, the zodiac sign that follows Aquarius on the calendar. In Greek mythology, Aquarius represents the youthful shepherd boy Ganymede. He was the son of Tros of Dardania, who is credited as the founder of Troy which made him a Trojan prince. The story goes that Ganymede was herding sheep when Zeus, came down disguised as an eagle. Zeus was very impressed by the beauty of the young prince. Homer said Ganymede was the loveliest and most beautiful born of the race of mortals. Zeus was so infatuated with him and his beauty so he took Ganymede to Mount Olympus. Once they got there, Zeus made Ganymedes the cupbearer for the gods. Where he would refill their drinks so, Zeus could admire he beauty.

Aquarius the sign of changing the world

When the new moon transits Aquarius, it feels like you can change the world. Literally! This is because of it’s strong connection to wanting to better humanity and raise it to it’s highest level of consciousness and we see this in the symbolism of the water bearer. Where you see the sign of Aquarius pouring its physical blessings of knowledge, and more out for all of humanity to access and benefit from. With this moon you really have the opportunity to connect to a divine energy all about the expansion of humanity. You can reflect on how you have or have not been doing this in your life. And you can reflect on how you can do start to or do it differently than you are now? You will feel that deep desire to further humanity with your blessings you have to offer others through the throat chakra it is connected to.

Aquarius the sign of creativity

This new moon in Aquarius ushers in a time to really truly open up to the expression of your creativity as well to look for new ways to express yourself and to expand any business endeavors in a new and innovative way. The new moon in Aquarius opens up this trusting space within yourself to be willing to accept your own uniqueness which allows your creativity to just explode without the fear of judgement since you are so happy with who you uniquely are in this energy. This new moon give you the space to really open up to any and all new ideas to try especially if you have a business or a side hustle. You will feel this energy open up new ways for you to get you and the services you have to offer the collective.

Aquarius the sign to tap into the uniqueness of you

The new moon in Aquarius brings about a time to celebrate your uniqueness and who you are as a divine being. It is a time to dedicate yourself with a full blazing passion on a path towards your goals. This moon really opens up to your root chakra to allow you to be fully grounded and confident in every unique part of who are as divine soul. This new moon invites you to invite in full trust in yourself that you know who are and what your path is for this lifetime is. You can really take this time in during this moon to reflect on what truly makes you unique and sets you apart and how can you use those traits to benefit the greater good of humanity and the collective.

What to be cautious of with the Aquarius new moon

During an Aquarius new moon, you might want to be aware of relationship issues and insecurities. This means be careful to not let yourself get detached from others. This can happen easily during an Aquarius new moon since it pushes us to be independent and seek more space on our own. The next thing to be cautious of is to not let your emotions consume you or others drama and extreme emotions either. The Aquarius new moon is a time known to bring up repressed feelings and create some clarity in your life you may have been unaware of until now. Like maybe you are in a toxic relationship. The Aquarius new moon will force you to accept this and have you want to create plans to change that. Just make sure you are not doing so hastily and listening to the wisdom that Aquarius can bring. Lastly, make sure those repressed feelings I talked about just a bit ago, don’t consume you and get out of control. Make sure to do things that soothe your soul, comfort your inner child, and love yourself through acts of self care.

Aquarius New moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the new moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in Aquarius. First, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

Second, let’s look at the duality of the energy of Aquarius. First off Aquarius is ruled by two planets Uranus and Saturn. Which are quite opposing energies to each other. Uranus is very dreamy, and a future focused energy while Saturn is very disciplined and logic based. This unique mix of duality is why Aquarius energy is what shakes up the collective, brings new inventions, and changes the status quo. This energy is seen as the driving force behind revolutionary ideas and groundbreaking solutions, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

However, this same unwavering dedication to help the collective with new innovations and ways of thinking, can also be a double-edged sword. Aquarius energy can be very stubborn with a refusal to compromise or consider alternative perspectives. This can sometimes lead to a sense of arrogance, seeming like a know it all, and alienating those who don’t share in our dreams to reshape the collective.

Correspondences for the Aquarius new moon

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like for Aquarius, I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond to the moon itself as well.

This makes it a really potent time to do some reflective work with shadow work and assess how we have been showing up with our ideas, our communication, and in our community for the collective. The energy of a New Moon always invites us to plant seeds of intention, but this Aquarius New Moon emphasizes the importance of own uniqueness.

Shift perspectives, and embrace change with the Gemini cold full moon

The last full moon of 2024 graces the night skies on December 15th. The Moon ending her cycle in the curious and communicative sign of the Twins will stir our minds, increase our desire for variety, and we will thirst for information. Allowing us to shift our perspectives and awaken our urge to connect with others. The Full Moon in Gemini puts the already emotional full Moon in the sign of the mind and expression. Gemini Full Moons are usually times where we express what we’re feeling more easily, and we can say what we mean and mean what we say. We can be authentic and open. This is a time when we can fulfill our desire to feel deeply understood. With the adaptable and curious Gemini energy guiding you this full moon, you’re encouraged to embrace change and let go of what no longer serves you, opening space for fresh ideas and perspectives to emerge. This full moon is a pivotal moment allowing you to explore new perspectives and consider changes that can lead to breakthroughs in your life. This Gemini Full Moon invites us to bridge the gap between mind and heart, thought and feeling. Are your thoughts aligned with emotional truth? Are your feelings guiding you toward your highest good? This lunar moment calls for balance, curiosity, and inspired action

First, What is the Full Moon

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached it’s peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen. The full moon allows you to bridge the connection between these energies and themes and bring them into your life while reminding you how important it is to have them in your life not only when the moon is illuminated in the sky for you to see.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon, to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here and you can watch my class all about lunar magic. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

The cold moon

During December the harsh bitter cold of winter sets in dropping to temperatures we can feel chilling us to the bone especially in my part of the world. This is why the full moon of December is known as the cold moon. This final full moon of the year arrives at the beginning of winter’s stillness and illuminates dark winter nights. Pulling us into the stillness of long winter nights for introspection, rest, and fresh starts as we conclude our annual trip around the sun. The Cold Moon’s energy aligns us with Winter’s dormant energy , stillness, and rebirth coming in the new season. Nature may appear dead and lifeless, right now but looks can be deceiving. Deep beneath the surface, it’s brimming with life and endless potential just waiting to show its new form with the suns return to full light come spring. I know when I go out to the woods during the cold winter months there is so much wisdom to be whispered in the woods. Use the Cold Moon as a wintery guide to “freeze and hibernate” as well. Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. This is a magical lunar cycle full of transformation and deep internal work. It’s a chance to recharge and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones.

As with most pagan names there will be different ones for each culture so below I listed any of the other names for the cold moon I could find across the Earth. The common themes for these moons are, stillness, introspection, renewal, rebirth, and connecting to the harsh cold of the long winter months ahead.

Who is Gemini?

Like, I said before each full moon will be amplified and influenced by the zodiac sign we find it in and this time the full moon is in the sign of Gemini. So who is Gemini? Gemini is known for being curious, communicative, and intellectual, and is the third sign of the zodiac. An air sign, Gemini is the zodiac sign that isn’t afraid of change and will adapt easily when they need too. Represented by twins, this sign is deeply independent, but their dualistic nature still has them in search of a lifelong partner.

Gemini constellation

The Gemini constellation is a group of stars in the northern hemisphere that’s known for its two brightest stars, Castor and Pollux and is located between Taurus and Cancer in the zodiac. According to Greek mythology the constellation of Gemini is made up of two twins: Castor and Pollux. Castor was the mortal son of King Tyndarus, while Pollux was the immortal son of Zeus. Both Castor and Pollux, being identical twins, were inseparable in their looks and actions. Castor was great horseman and Pollux was a great fighter. Together, they went with Jason on the Argo and saved the ship from a terrible storm. When Castor was killed in battle, Pollux pleaded with Zeus to bring him back. Zeus agreed to immortalize both Castor and Pollux, if they spend half of their time on the Earth and the other half amongst the stars in the heavens. Since then, when sailors saw these two stars together, they knew their journey would be prosperous. However, seeing only one star foretold bad luck. In Roman mythology, the constellation Gemini represents Romulus and Remus, the twins who founded Rome that we celebrate during Lupercalia.

In Babylon they were known as the Great Twins. The Twins were regarded as minor gods and were called Lugal-irra and Meslamta-ea, meaning respectively “The Mighty King” and “The One who has arisen from the Underworld.” They were regarded as guardians of doorways and may have originally been envisioned as a set of twins guarding the gates of the Underworld, who chopped the dead into pieces as they passed through the gates.

This constellation is a very special one as well since, it is the only one mentioned in Norse mythology among the Eddas.It is a story of how Þjazi, anglicized as Thiazi, Thjazi, Tjasse or Thiassi was a Frost Giant and a shapeshifter and how their eyes made it into the skies. The story goes; One day, while on a journey, Odin, Loki and Hœnir set up an earth oven to cook an oxen they just hunted. After a while they found that it would not cook. They found out that Þjazi in the form of a great eagle, stopped the oven from heating and demanded a part of the oxen. When the oxen was cooked, Þjazi ate so much of it that Loki became angry, grabbed his long staff and attempted to strike him, but the weapon stuck fast to Þjazi’s body and he took flight, carrying Loki up with him. As they flew across the land Loki shouted and begged to be let down as his legs banged against trees and stones, but Þjazi would only do so on the condition that Loki must lure Iðunn, the goddess of youth out of Asgard with her apples of youth, which he solemnly promised to do. Later, Þjazi, again in the form of an eagle, carried Iðunn and her apples away and the gods, deprived of Iðunn’s apples, began growing old and grey. Loki was going to bring back Iðunn. He borrowed a magical coat from Freyja, transformed into a falcon, flew to the hall of Þjazi, transformed Iðunn into a nut and carried her back to Asgard. When the other gods saw Þjazi in close pursuit of Loki, they lit a fire which burned Þjazi’s feathers, causing him to fall to the ground where he was killed. When Þjazi’s daughter Skadi came to avenge her father, the gods offered her atonement and compensation. She was given the hand of Njord in marriage and Odin took Þjazi’s eyes and placed them in the night sky as stars.

Gemini The Sign Of The Mind And Shifting Perspectives

During the Gemini full Moon we are guided to change our thoughts, and examine our current beliefs to let go of ones that no longer resonate with us. The Gemini full moon calls for us to let go of the need to know, and opens us up to the ways in which our trust in life needs to grow. It opens us up to relooking at how we see ourselves and the world around us allowing us to possibly, completely shift our perspectives for major growth and transformation. This enthusiastic energy allows us to embrace uncertainty. To walk through the different doorways of opportunities without fear or anxiety. Now is also a very good time for grounding or earthing, and for finding our way back to the path of our hearts and maybe even going a different direction to get there/ Doing this may allow you to see some new things. Our minds are a gift, a powerful tool that we can guide and use in whatever direction and purpose we desire. And so it’s time to use our minds for a higher purpose and for the highest purpose of humanity. Gemini, the mutable air sign known as the sign of the twins, brings a lively, adaptable energy to the Full Moon. With Gemini’s influence, you’re encouraged to keep an open mind and embrace curiosity as a tool for growth. The Full Moon in Gemini is a powerful moment to identify and release outdated thought patterns and limiting beliefs that have been holding you back. This phase invites you to clear mental clutter, opening up space for fresh perspectives and new possibilities.

Gemini the sign of communication

Gemini is an air sign and ruled by the planet Mercury, it’s about communication and trying different things in life, being adventurous, socializing, and using language as a tool. Take this time to bring out your strengths in the way you communicate with others and how you take the time to listen to others in your life as well. This is the time to set boundaries and let go of toxic ties and relationships that no longer serve you. If you’d like to improve communication in your life with the people around you, communication is ruled by Gemini and this is your time to do it. So, go inwards and ask yourself are there any ways that you communicate that are outdated and cause issues in your relation ships and then commit to let those patterns go.

Gemini The Sign of Learning

In astrology, Gemini is associated with learning and is said to be a sign of intellectual prowess. Gemini is said to be quick at learning, curious, versatile, and have a thirst for knowledge. Therefore, learning is ruled by Gemini. This is the sign to strengthen your mind and become a better learner. Gemini activates the thinking realms, the imagination and the mental channels, seeking patterns, connection and purpose. It’s a really highly mental energy that stimulates ideas and creativity. Gemini energy is also highly intelligent, which makes it a good time for studying or learning a new course or skill. Now is the time to look into subjects that require thinking and discussing ideas, including literature, science, philosophy, art, and more.

Themes for the Gemini full moon

This time, we experience the New Moon in emotional, Open minded, Witty, Social, Flirty, Distracted, Adaptable, Intellectual, dualistic, Expressive, and perspective shifting Gemini. When the Full Moon in Gemini graces the sky, it offers cosmic guidance for us to examine our patterns and release the thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve our highest good. Let’s explore some of the themes and energies of Gemini deeper below. The Gemini full moon is a powerful moon that amplifies the dualistic energy of Gemini allowing us to shift our perspective and learn new ways of being in this world.

Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams. This will be especially strong this full moon being in the sign of the twins who day dream about the life you wish to create all the time. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics, and be willing to be adaptable with those seeds of intention you had planted on the new moon. Don’t forget this full moon is layered with many energies for you to connect to as well like the harsh cold of winter’s approach, and the introspection of the winter solstice and yule.

What to be cautious of this Gemini full moon

We may be a little bit more scattered when this sign is aligned with the moon. the Gemini Moon personality can at times be easily distracted it’s hard to focus when there’s always something else that could use our attention or our heads are up in the clouds.. So, do your best to use skills that can help you focus like making to do lists, and grounding or centering often. We also need to be careful about the intensity level for how we react to things. When Gemini is affecting the moon each and every event no matter how small seems like it’s the most significant thing to happen to us. It’s important to take the time to check the facts with your emotions and reactions to make sure you are reacting to things with the valid intensity. Be careful to not catastrophize things.

Gemini and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the sign it currently is in; Gemini. This month’s full moon might seem pretty obvious to you; that it is literally the definition of dualistic energy to work with. First let’s talk about the duality of Gemini; the sign of the twins and aka the sign of duality in the zodiac. Gemini focuses on duality which means; the relationship between opposites. Logic and emotion, creator and created, “good and evil”, Wanted and unwanted, masculine and feminine, conscious and subconscious etc. and the union that exist between them. All of these are topics we can reflect on and work with using Gemini energy including using grey magic.

Gemini, represented by the twins, is all about the duality within us. Whether you call the two competing voices within the Ego and Soul, Higher Mind vs Lower Mind, or Inner critic vs Inner cheerleader, these dual voices exist within us all, and our role is to learn how to balance them out and keep them lovingly communicating with each other. This full Moon is less about manifesting new “things” and more about letting go of thoughts that no longer support us emotionally. This requires us to change our minds in order to change the thought patterns that aren’t currently supporting us and allowing us to truly be in alignment with our intentions. Gemini reminds us that duality is a natural expression. YES, unity may be a goal, but duality is our reality on this planet right now, and to feel that internally is normal. The energy of duality allows us to be flexible, change our mind, go new directions and be multifaceted with our thoughts, reactions, and how we interact with others. If you’re feeling the tug between opposites, it’s actually okay.

Second, the full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality.

This spells purpose is to do just that during a full moon in Gemini. All you will need is yourself, a quiet area, and a yellow candle. To make this spell more potent you can also hold selenite and then keep it on you when you are studying or learning the rest of the lunar cycle.

How to do spell:

Find a place you can be alone for a little bit undisturbed, and in quiet. Then put yourself into your sacred container connecting to the energy of knowledge, learning, studying and Gemini. You can do this by meditating, grounding, calling your energy back, or doing breathing techniques like boxed breathing.

Once you feel anchored to the energy of learning and Gemini. Light a yellow candle for mental clarity. If you’d like, you can hold a piece of selenite in your non-dominant hand as you write down the ways you want to improve your learning. Visualize yourself learning easily, taking in new ideas and being receptive to lessons you can learn. Once you vision seems clear recite this spell out loud; “I am open to learning anything and everything there is to learn. I learn easily and quickly. My mind works perfectly.” Blow out the candle when you are done and come place in your favorite place to study and learn.

Final thoughts

As the Full Moon in Gemini illuminates the sky, it brings a unique opportunity to embrace change, explore new ideas, and strengthen your connections with others. This is a time to be curious, communicate openly, and adapt to whatever comes your way.

Working with the adventurous, authentic, and philosophical Sagittarius new moon

We are entering a new lunar phase on December 1st; the New moon. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel the influence over our moods and intuition shift. This month we find the moon in the adventurous, optimistic, expansive, philosophical, independent, authentic, creative, generous, and freeing fire sign of the archer; Sagittarius. As we welcome the fire driven, Jupiter ruled New Moon in Sagittarius we connect with the philosopher, truth seeker, and the adventurer of the zodiac and within each one of us. As the moon begins their journey in this optimistic fire sign, we feel called to plant seeds related to expanding our knowledge, pursuing travel and higher learning, and embarking on quests to discover truth. Under the silvery rays of the new moon in Sagittarius we are encouraged to expand our minds, explore our beliefs and views of the world we live on, and are given an amazing opportunity to reexamine what we believe to be true. We will feel a need to pull back the curtains and remove any masks to uncover the truth within the lies we are told about ourselves and the world we live in.

We spend much of our time “what if-ing” ourselves and envisioning the worst-case scenario; but during a Sagittarius new moon your mind will start considering all the possibilities of a situation rather than just focusing on the potential roadblocks. Guiding you towards a new path and journey to get the life you truly want. Let me show you in this post the flames of the new moon in the fire sign Sagittarius. And how to connect to this adventurous, expansive, visionary, idealistic and freeing energy. You can use it to pull the arrows of intention back and shoot them without fear to manifest a life full of happiness, knowledge, and adventure today!

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we run off in joy on a brand new adventure with the Sagittarius new mon.. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

So, who is Sagittarius?

Sagittarius, represented by the Archer, is known for its optimistic, enthusiastic, and adventurous spirit. Sagittarius is represented by the symbol of the archer, who aims far, and the mythological creature, centaur, who is half man and half horse. It bridges the gap between the Earth and Heaven because the centaur is the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, Sagittarius brings the energy of growth, exploration, and optimism into everything it touches.

As the mutable (adaptable) Fire sign of the Zodiac, Sagittarius rules over communication, action, and passion. Fire is all about passion and inner motivation, and Sagittarius sparks that inner drive within us to learn, experience, grow and inspire. It can be a good time to pick back up an old idea, an old big plan, or to reconnect with the big picture in ways we have before. This can be a good time to redo and revise.

Sagittarius was the one who would leave the zodiac, and wander far to obtain new wisdom, and perspective to bring back and teach others what they learned. They are driven by a constant search for knowledge, wisdom, and the meaning of life. They are the natural students and teachers of life. Purpose is a big theme for Sagittarius. It is not only about obtaining knowledge, it is about understanding the purpose of what life even means.

The Sagittarius Constellation

Sagittarius is located between Capricornus and Scorpius, and is easiest to see in mid-summer when looking south and following the Milky Way. The constellation’s most prominent feature is the Teapot asterism, which is made up of three stars that form the bow, four stars that form the arrow, and stars for the archer’s hand. The constellation’s association with an archer dates back to ancient civilizations, with the Babylonians identifying it as a mounted archer as early as the 11th century BCE. Another interpretation is that Sagittarius represents Crotus, the son of Pan and Eupheme. Crotus was a skilled hunter and lover of the arts who was raised by the Muses. In one myth, the Muses asked Zeus to place Crotus in the sky to demonstrate archery. in yet another myth, some Mesopotamian civilizations associated Sagittarius with their god of war, Nergal, an archer god. The constellation’s drawn-out bow and arrow may have originated from this association

Sagittarius the archer and its connection to Chiron

,In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is a centaur, aiming an arrow at Scorpius. The Sagittarius sign is represented by a special centaur named Chiron. First, what is a Centaur? Centaur’s were creatures in Greek Mythology that had the upper body of a human man and the lower body, including all four hooves, of a horse. Many Centaurs were wild and boisterous creatures known to allow their animal nature to have control. The Centaur is a great representation for Sagittarius because of it’s balance between the passionate, wild animal nature and the soul searching, purpose driven nature of humans. The most famous Centaur Chiron, from later Greek Mythology, was known to be a wise man and a healer. In Greek Mythology, it was Chiron who taught humanity the constellations. That’s huge. Chiron is our celestial teacher. On top of that, Many well known Greek gods and goddesses looked to him for spiritual advice, most will know him through the hero Hercules. All of this is why he became associated with the sign Sagittarius. To learn more about his tragic story from beginning to end, who he is, and how the wounded healer can help you heal; you can read about him in my previous blog post here.

Themes for the Sagittarius new moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the adventurous, optimistic, expansive, independent, authentic, creative, generous, and freeing fire sign of the archer; Sagittarius. The Sagittarius new moon is all about stampeding forward down a new adventurous path in life seeking new skills, knowledge and questioning our understanding of life. This Sagittarius new moon is an opportunity to pull the arrows of intention back and shoot them without fear to manifest a life full of happiness, knowledge, and adventure that serves the greater good for all of man. Let’s explore some of the themes of the Sagittarius new moon below.

  • Expansion
  • Freedom
  • Education
  • Independence
  • Travel
  • Adventure
  • Optimism
  • Athleticism
  • Humor
  • Spontaneity
  • Intelligence
  • Enthusiasm
  • Honesty
  • Exploration
  • The Outdoors
  • Searching
  • Questioning
  • Restlessness
  • Ambition
  • Generosity
  • Challenges
  • Higher Learning
  • Entertainment
  • Congeniality

Sagittarius The Sign Of Adventure

A Sagittarius new Moon will renew your sense of adventure, and you could have the desire to start something new up during this time. Sagittarius loves the idea of traveling and expanding their horizon. This can be something physical like traveling to a faraway place, or taking their mind on a trip with an education pursuit. The energy of Sagittarius is very expansive, free, and visionary. Cast your mind back and check in with any dreams you’ve had percolating to travel, or begin a new adventure. Sagittarius is the happy sign, the sign of opportunity and expansion, and wants to get out into the world and have new experiences, follow that.

Sagittarius The Ruler Of Higher Learning

Sagittarius is the ruler of higher learning, during this time we can be more passionate about learning, teaching, writing, and speaking. Sagittarius is the thinking sign associated with the quest for freedom from all restriction as well as idealism, religion and philosophy. At the highest level, Sagittarius is concerned with understanding, perception, and mental activity in the service of their high ideals for the benefit of mankind. This is a great time to pickup that book you have been putting off to read, or start learning a new skill. Take the time to follow that curiosity and soak up all it is that you can learn. Because, Sagittarius reminds you wisdom doesn’t just fall into your lap; it’s something you chase after,. right now, the chase could lead you to exciting knowledge you never knew existed. You’re like a sponge right now under this new moon, absorbing lessons that are hidden in the day-to-day experiences.

Sagittarius Ruler Of Our Beliefs

Sagittarius rules our beliefs, so we can be more passionate about what we believe in and stand up for ourselves and others. The Sagittarius new moon tells us now is the time for deep reflection and personal growth. It’s also a moment to ponder the stories we’ve been telling ourselves about who we are and the world we live in. The Sagittarius new moon signals to us that some of our philosophies and beliefs may need revisiting. During the new moon in Sagittarius, the moon illuminates hidden truths, creating space for self-discovery which can allow our beliefs to either deepen or to shift and change. The new moon in Sagittarius, is the perfect time to rethink the beliefs and philosophies passed down by older generations and see how you might want to do things differently.

What To Be Cautious Of This Sagittarius New Moon

Since Sagittarius is the sign that rules our beliefs and we can get really passionate about that. This can lead to fights if we don’t keep an open mind with others in our lives. So, we need to make sure we’re listening properly. If we are, this can improve communications and we can feel more understood. With Sagittarius also being the happy sign of the zodiac we need to be careful that we don’t get too lost in feeling happy that we choose to not face reality and end up making situations worse than they need to be. The last thing to really be cautious of this new moon is the rabbit hole that questioning your beliefs and seeking knowledge can send you down. When you really start to look at your own belief system and how you view society, the government, and your world it can cause anger for being lied to come up along with sadness and depression. So, be careful to not over do how much you question and look at and if you decide to really follow the archer down that hole take breaks to be mindful and present so you don’t get overwhelmed.

Sagittarius new moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. First, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from and ending and death.

Second, the energy of Sagittarius many would think is all just a positive, jovial, and optimistic energy. But, Sagittarius is also about adventure and expansion which isn’t always a happy, optimistic thing. In order to actually truly go on an adventure we have to let go of any fear, and expectations, to allow us to just aimlessly wander, be present and experience the adventure. To let go of fears and expectations we must first acknowledge them which can be a rough and fiery thing for us do.

Correspondences for the Sagittarius new moon

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like Sagittarius, that I will list below for you to use.

This period is ripe for introspection, giving you an opportunity to reflect on what changes you wish to bring into your life. Imagine the new moon as your personal catalyst for change, prompting you to plant the seeds of intention to be bloom by the full moon. We can take the time to reflect, do shadow work, and visualize the intentions we are about to set. Use the prompts and questions below in whatever way that feels right to free for your soul.

Fire Gazing Ritual

Fire gazing is a powerful ritual that will connect you to the energy of Sagittarius with clarity and intention. It can be used as a form of meditation, contemplation, manifestation, or simply to clear the mind. Fire gazing involves looking into the flames of a fire and allowing yourself to connect with your inner wisdom. It can help you gain clarity on what you want to manifest in the coming months, and look at the successes you have to celebrate from past months. What you see in the flames will guide you through your journey. Fire gazing also helps to bring harmony and balance into your life, allowing you to stay connected with yourself and those around you. Additionally, it can be used as a form of meditation, allowing for deeper levels of concentration and relaxation.

How to do fire gazing

First get yourself into sacred container and set up whatever form of a flame you are using whether it be a candle, fireplace, or bonfire. While setting up your source of fire and flame focus on the intention and goal you have for this fire gazing session.

Next, you should focus your attention on the natural light of the fire and allow yourself to enter into an altered state of consciousness as you gaze into the flames while engaging in rhythmic breathing techniques like boxed breathing for example.

Once you feel your attention is focused on the light of the flames. Then, you can relax yourself and stare into the flames. Allow your intuition and mind’s eye to find images and omens, and allow yourself to be open to the messages that come through.

You can also energetically toss your worries from the past month into the flame, letting them burn away and be released.

Sagittarius Intention setting ritual

A New Moon symbolizes fresh starts and planting seeds of intentions. Under Sagittarius, these beginnings are laced with adventure, letting go of our fears, and taking risks by stepping into the unknown. This New Moon’s energy invites you to chase after your dreams with a bow full of aspiration arrows, ready to launch. When setting intentions under this new moon, dream big. Sagittarius is all about grand plans and stretching beyond your current limits. Use this ritual to zero in on new intentions and set them under the adventurous and fearless Sagittarius new moon.

What you need:

  • a piece of paper
  • Something to write with
  • some bay leaves
  • a candle ( I recommend using either of these colors; white-moon and new beginnings, green- manifestation and abundance, or purple-wisdom and intuition )

How do perform this ritual:

First, go ahead and get yourself into sacred container. You can do this anyway that you like. If possible try to do this ritual outside under the light of the moon and the starry night sky. Because, this sign is attached to Chiron. The one who taught us the stories of the constellations and their places among the stars. Once, you feel centered in who you are and your energy has come back to you. Take a deep breath and call to the moon. Ask the bright, optimistic, adventurous, Sagittarius moonlight to guide you on the intentions you set tonight. To allow you to see the bigger picture of what it is you truly desire to be happy. Under the glittering starry sky let your eyes be opened to see a world that expands farther then we ever dreamed. Each one of those stars burning with white hot wisdom inside. Let the dark moon show you the new way you need to go to serve the greater good in your own authentic way. When you feel the energy of the optimistic, adventurous, and fearless Sagittarius new moon rays enter your heart space grab your pen and take to the page. As you focus on the life you truly want to make. Think about; What does it look like? Where do you want to go? what things do you want to learn and know? How do you want your beliefs to be shaped? What is the purpose you were meant to do to serve the collective? How is it that you can get there? Once, you feel you have written all you can on that page and you have a clear image of the future you want to create, decide which ones you can focus on first. Then write each one on a bay leaf. Then with your intention now set for the life that will make you truly deeply happy. Take each leaf and connecting to the fiery energy residing within the fearless archer burn it in the flame of your candle as you visualize your intention giving it to the moon, Sagittarius and the universe knowing it all will come to you.

Final thoughts

We have talked a lot about how a Sagittarius new moon is about expansion of our knowledge to new ideas, adventuring without fear, and authentically embracing freedom. But, there is another energy that may affect how we experience that, at the same time as this new moon Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius too. Since Mercury is retrograde in the same sign as this New Moon, we may not be focused on anything new, and instead, want to take second chances. Retrogrades are times for do overs, and when we have a New Moon alongside one, this is an excellent time to take a second chance and do things over again. We can focus on something we tried but failed at, we started but didn’t finish, or we didn’t get off of the ground for some reason. With Sagittarius, this might be a big idea, something that would expand some part of our lives, or an experience we had that we can pursue again and learn more from. This is a great time to relearn something we’ve forgotten or to go back and review something we have taught before. Remember the new moon in Sagittarius represents the start of an exciting new lunar cycle centered around the themes of exploration, adventure, luck, and abundance. As the moon begins her journey in this optimistic fire sign, we feel called to plant seeds related to expanding our knowledge, pursuing travel and higher learning, and embarking on quests to discover truth.

Pluto enters Aquarius; A cosmic shift of transformation and break throughs

With Pluto leaving Capricorn and entering Aquarius today (Nov 19th) we as a collective are about to undergo a deep internal transformation that will ripple into every area of our lives. We will be asked to face our shadow and challenged to release patterns and attachments that no longer serve us. Leading to breakthroughs across the collective and allowing us the ability to connect to our dreams and be reborn into a new reality through innovation and creativity. With these shifts, we are breaking down barriers, while fighting for freedom and the reinvention of established societal norms. Pluto entering Aquarius also hits us on a psychic level, working on the deeper layers of our being allowing it’s energy to reshape the collective completely. Which may be why so many have reaching for this time calling it the Age of Aquarius and the age of awakening. Let’s break down why this cosmic energy shift is such a transformational event for each one of us in the collective.

Pluto’s energy


Pluto, the smallest planet in our solar system that also sits the furthest from the sun, is quite a power player in astrology. Because, it’s the furthers from the sun it takes the longest to make its rounds around it, spending up to three decades in one sign at a time. Pluto oversees heavy themes, such as control, death and rebirth, transformation, power and the shadow or underbelly side of life. Pluto is really the force of evolution, the catalyst of the deepest transformations and alchemical processes. Pluto is the planet of the underworld and death and where we find refuge in the shadows to be reborn. Pluto guides us on a journey through darkness and challenges us to make the unconscious conscious through sincere and consistent commitment to getting to the bottom of everything and facing the truth, no matter how dark, ugly, and uncomfortable it may be. Transits of Pluto mark generational cycles and collective dynamics with breakthroughs into new realities. When Pluto leaves a sign to enter a new one it is a huge cosmic event, one we won’t experience again in our lifetime. We ALL feel the shift. Which is why this is such a an important and potent cosmic event. Ultimately, Pluto influences big shifts in society, especially around power and control, setting the tone for the world at large depending on which sign it’s in.

Aquarius energy


Next, Aquarius energy is all about breaking free from both external and internal limitations and reclaiming our uniqueness and individuality. Aquarius is the energy of rebellion and liberation from the past, allowing us to release generational patterns, and wounds to truly move on from the past creating the reality we have always seen in our dreams. Aquarius is an energy that allows us to detach from our human self more and step outside of ourselves to look at things from a bird’s eye view. To see things from different perspectives and look at things without personal biases allowing us to come together as we reshape the collective through new ideas, innovation, and creativity. Aquarius energy is also the energy that is future minded and focused on the long term impact of our actions and how the affect those around us. During this time will be way more future-minded, and way more focused on how what we do now impacts us for decades to come and beyond. This isn’t just a concern for the present anymore. What about the future? What about the society we are leaving for the generations to come behind us? This feels like a critical deciding point for the collective that will have resounding and lasting impacts.

A Potent time for shadow work

Pluto in Aquarius will invite us into the depths of our souls and into the shadows, calling for total transformation in our lives. Unconscious material is surfacing for the purpose of looking the hidden parts of ourselves in the eyes and liberating them through healing and creative expression. This work is intense but deeply necessary on our spiritual path as we pursue healing within the collective right now. So, we can reinvent societal norms, fight for justice, and become a more cohesive collective. One of the best ways we can do this and meet this cosmic shift head on is through shadow work. There are so many ways to do shadow work from being in a meditative state, journaling, working in a liminal space, death walking and so much more. Below you will find some shadow work prompts specific to this revolutionary, transformative, and awakening cosmic shift to use in your own unique, creative, and liberating way. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here; you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.

  • What does freedom look like to me?
  • What new version of myself do I want to step into?
  • What in my life do I need to be liberated from?
  • How can I help reshape societal norms during this cosmic shift?
  • What hidden things are coming to the surface that I fear, I am ready to release as I step in to this new era?

Allowing us to bloom into authenticity with courage to reshape our reality into the things of our dreams as we tap into our true creativity. With Pluto moving into forward-thinking, humanitarian and innovative Aquarius, it’s time for us to leave Capricorn’s traditional and serious vibes behind. To be creative and allow our minds to look for new and innovative ways to reshape society and our own realities. When Pluto enters Aquarius you get a period of massive transformations and changes that propel you into the future.

Working with the emotional, intuitive, and spiritual Pisces Harvest Full Moon

We are entering a new lunar phase this week; the full moon on September 17th. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel her influence over our moods and intuition shift. This full moon we will find ourselves in the; creative, spiritual, compassionate, empathetic, and dreamy sign of Pisces. Pisces is the clairvoyant of the zodiac. It is a sign with a deep sensitivity to those around them and heightened sense of intuition. This full moon in the water sign Pisces, is special as it will be accompanied by a lunar eclipse as well. Plus this is the start of a whole new eclipse set. Which means we have some very potent and powerful energy, pushing us into a new phase of our lives unfolding in front of us during this creative pisces full moon.


The Full Moon in Pisces is a period that stirs the waters of your innermost psyche, often bringing with it a tide of deep emotions and heightened intuition. It’s a time when we will place greater focus on our spirituality, our intuition, our subconscious, what’s hidden, and the past. We will be pulled to strengthen ourselves internally, quietly, and on our own. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, and Lunar Eclipses tie to endings, so this can be a big eclipse for finishing something. To finish something that is meant to truly allow us to move and heal in our lives and evolve. This full moon and lunar eclipse can also be huge for releasing baggage, whether it’s spiritual, subconscious, or karmic. We will likely being faced with something from the past or within ourselves that is difficult, but we have to come to terms with it and try to be more understanding, introspective, and ultimately let it go so it’s not weighing us down anymore.

First, What is the Full Moon

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached it’s peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen. The full moon allows you to bridge the connection between these energies and themes and bring them into your life while reminding you how important it is to have them in your life not only when the moon is illuminated in the sky for you to see.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon, to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here and you can watch my class all about lunar magic. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

The Energy of a lunar eclipse

So, what about the lunar eclipse energy happening right now? if you go online especially on social media you will see countless warnings telling you not do any workings during a lunar eclipse including making moon water. They say its a time of bad omens, and a time that is too chaotic to harness and work with. I simply don’t agree with this. This may be because I am a grey witch. I just don’t see why we can’t work with a moon phase that is chaotic. The universe and all that exists within it sprouted from chaos or nothingness. This is common theme in belief systems, cultures, and stories across the Earth and time like in Mesopotamia with the goddess Tiamat. So, wouldn’t working with chaos like the lunar eclipse be a very primal and potent things for us humans to do? I think so. But, it will be up to you and what you decide for your own practices and beliefs.

This eclipse is also a time to close a karmic chapter and cycle in our lives and begin writing the next new chapter. Eclipses tie to endings, so this can be a big eclipse for finishing something. To finish something that is meant to truly allow us to move and heal in our lives and evolve. This full moon and lunar eclipse energy combined together can also be huge for releasing baggage, whether it’s spiritual, emotional, subconscious, or karmic.

The harvest moon

This full moon is also known as the harvest moon. The harvest moon is a full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox, which is usually around September 22 or 23 in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s named for its role in helping farmers harvest crops by providing bright moonlight after sunset for several nights in a row, which is when they could gather the most crops. The Harvest Moon’s glow is often seen as a reminder of the abundance provided by the Earth’s cycles. It serves as a visual representation of the fruits of one’s labor and a time to express gratitude for the bounties received. It symbolizes the continuous cycle of growth, harvest, and renewal. Just as farmers gather crops during the harvest, September’s Full Moon invites introspection and the “harvesting” of inner wisdom and insights. It’s a time for self-reflection, meditation, and inner exploration.

The history of the this moon also intertwines with cultural practices and folklore. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated during this Moon. Families come together to give thanks for the harvest, share mooncakes, and admire the moon’s beauty. Similarly, Native American tribes have their own traditions associated with the Harvest Moon. The Ojibwe people call it “Manoominike-Giizis,” the Rice-making Moon, as it signals the time to harvest wild rice.

As with most pagan names there will be different ones for each culture so below I listed any of the other names for the harvest moon I could find across the Earth. The common theme among them is focusing on gratitude and the bounty that has been grown from earth this year.

  • Barley Moon (Old English) (source: Time and Date)
  • Fall Moon (Ukiuqsraq) Inupiat Language, Alaska
  • Tvímánuður (Norse) means harvest month (source: Nordic Culture – Skjalden)
  • Leaves Turning Moon (Waatebagaa-giizis) (Ojibwe) (source: Ojibwe.net)
  • Nut Month (dulisdi) Cherokee, Carolinas
  • Singing Moon (sometimes called Song Moon) Celtic
  • Corn is Harvested (li’dekwakkwya ts’ana) Zuni Native American Origins
  • Spring Moon (South African origins) (source: Centre for Astronomical Heritage)

Who is Pisces?

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by the planet Neptune, and is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. People born between February 19 and March 20 are Pisces. It’s symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces’ attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson—the joys and the pains, the hopes and the fears—learned by all of the other signs. This makes these fish the most psychic, empathetic, and compassionate creatures of the astrological wheel.

Since, Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet that governs creativity and dreams; these ethereal fish adore exploring their boundless imaginations. But, Neptune also oversees illusion and escapism. Neptune’s energy is like the energy of the ocean: magical, mysterious, and often scary. When the fog is thick on the water, the horizon is obstructed and there is no differentiation between the sea and the sky.

Pisces the Constellation

The Pisces constellation is one of the largest northern sky constellations. Pisces lies between Aries constellation to the east and Aquarius to the west. . According to legend the constellation is composed of two fish who are connected together by a ribbon. The fish are the goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros (Roman: Venus and Cupid). They turned themselves into fish in order to escape from the monster Typhon. They then connected themselves together with a ribbon in order not to be separated. There is also a different origin tale that Hyginus preserved in another work. According to this, an egg rolled into the Euphrates, and some fishes nudged this to the shore, after which the doves sat on the egg until Aphrodite (thereafter called the Syrian Goddess) hatched out of it. The fishes were then rewarded by being placed in the skies as a constellation.

Pisces The Most Potent Time To Manifest

Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. We can reflect more on the past, but in a less emotional way, and get more understanding. This full Moon activates a deep desire to go within the ocean of soul and face the things truly holding us back, to make our wildest dreams a reality. There is a sense of things finally beginning to move forward after a prolonged period of stagnation with an intense power push for change.

The full Moon in Pisces is a time of healing, a time of magic, and most importantly, one of the most potent times to practice manifestation work. That’s because Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination and mysticism, which means you’ll not only be more connected to your creativity but also your spiritual center. You have the opportunity to slip into the flow and waters of life now. When that happens, you want what is happening and what is happening is what you want. Your manifesting is working perfectly

Pisces The Sign of Creativity

The Pisces full Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily. The energy of Pisces guides us to go with the flow, to be less concerned with planning and plotting, and instead, to bring ourselves into the present moment. Which may feel really nice after coming off the meticulous, busy, always planning, Virgo new moon we just experienced. While we may not have all the answers and be in a state of unknowing, this full Moon reminds us that this is where our true creative powers lie.

Pisces The Sign of Compassion and Empathy

Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with this full Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can’t help themselves. At the center of the Pisces full Moon lie themes of healing, kindness, and sensitivity. This lunar phase invites us to nurture our emotional well-being, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and embrace the healing power of love and forgiveness. You can utilize the energy of this full moon to heal relationships by releasing toxic ones that no longer serve us and truly cutting those chords. You can look into the depths of your soul to face past hurts in a relationship and heal deep wounds that may still be lingering causing resentment and friction.

Pisces The Sign of Spirituality

Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. It is an energetic frequency that dissolves boundaries, allowing us to tap into the collective consciousness and access deeper layers of intuition. This full moon ask you to dive deep into your unconsciousness and bring up the surface the feelings you have held about yourself that are holding you back. From your connection to the divine, magic, and your power. Once you have brought them to the surface you will have the ability to finally release them and move forward onto the next chapter unfolding now in front of you.

Pisces The Ruler of What’s Hidden

Pisces rules what’s hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, whether its being kept from us by others or ourselves. We can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. It reminds us that while being authentic and open with others is great to do, we don’t always need to tell everyone our WHOLE truth. It encourages us to tap into the realm of dreams and imagination, including things we never think we could see. To envision a future aligned with our soul’s purpose and our wildest dreams. Pisces inspires us to imagine things we have yet to even know our soul has dreamed.

Themes Of The Pisces Full Moon

Every full Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the full Moon in the dreamy, creative, and spiritual Water sign Pisces. Pisces is also a Mutable sign, the most adaptable and flexible of the signs. That means that you’ll be better equipped to handle any of the emotional sensitivity or mood swings that typically accompany a full Moon with all the release work and letting go. You’ll also be better prepared to find creative solutions to any challenges or issues you’ve been facing because you’ll feel both more creative and better able to go with the flow. If the Pisces fish can teach us anything, it’s that there are no wrong paths. The two fish of Pisces swim in opposite directions, and yet, their journey is a circle meaning they will eventually both land in the same place.

Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams.And this is especially strong this full moon being in the sign that rules our dreamscapes, Pisces. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics be grounded in those seeds of intention you had planted on the new moon. Don’t forget this full moon is layered with many energies for you to connect to as well like the gratitude of September and the intense rebirth of the lunar eclipse.

Things to look out for with Pisces

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of emotional overwhelm. Pisces energy can easily blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality, leading to confusion and escapism, including a lot getting lost in daydreaming. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, to honor our emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to cultivate practices that promote inner peace and clarity.

Pisces and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, the full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality. Next, let’s look at the duality of Pisces itself. First, we see it in the representation of the two fishes in it’s symbol. It shows us that the two fish even though they may be swimming different directions. They will always eventually meet with each other at the same spot to complete their cosmic circle. We also see the essence of duality in the way Pisces calls us into the deep to look at our deepest emotions, and wounds guiding us to release them. This is a needed thing for healing and change but, the depths of the emotions can also feel like they are drowning us amongst their rough waves.

Release Your Emotions With Worry Water

The ritual I am bringing to you for this emotional, expressive, and intuitive full moon in watery Pisces is a simple one it may seem, but it is a favorite of mine to do whenever we are in a water sign. Water signs open up such a deep, potent portal to our emotions in the most intuitive and compassionate way. This portal allows us to view some emotions we may not have been able to see in the depths before Pisces floats them up to the surface for us to see. This ritual even has more power behind it with Pisces being the sign of hidden things in the depths of our subconscious.

So, let’s learn how to release our emotions by making worry water. All you will need for this is a bowl of water its best if it is in a clear bowl and bonus energy if it is moon water. And then a quiet space you can be alone and uninterrupted for a little while. If you like to have candles, crystals, incense, or tools when you enter your sacred container those are optional for you to use here as well.

How to perform this ritual and make worry water

  • Go to the spot you can get enter your sacred container. Get into a comfortable position with your bowl of water in front of you.
  • If you are using extra tools like candles you set up your tools now and light candles or incense if need to.
  • Take some deep breaths in and out as you began to visualize protective, compassionate, expressive, energy entering your container and enveloping you.
  • As you feel that energy around you look into the bowl, you can even touch the water or pick the bowl up if you feel the desire to, than speak, whisper, or even yell all of your stresses, worries, fears, secrets, hidden emotions and hardships into your bowl of water.
  • Allow the element of water to absorb all those feelings, those unwanted energies and things, and hidden emotions you may have rushing thru yo. Allow it to transmute those emotions into healing, growth, and awareness.
  • Once you feel you have released all the emotions you need to into your bowl of water you can thank it for being a place to absorb and transmute all of this for you, than take your bowl of water and either dump it down the drain, flush it down the toilet or pour it out to the earth if you can.

Full Moon Ritual Bath Purification Prayer

This bath will cleanse the body, mind, emotions, of anything unwanted and blocking your intentions, success, and desires. It will also remove stagnant energy and/or energy that is not yours, that may be causing you difficulties on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. For three consecutive nights (the day before, the day of, and the day after the full moon) create this bath to wash, cleanse and purify your body in.

While you are drawing your bath, and after you have created your sacred container by adding candles (preferably white) music or anything else you would like to add, bring this herbal mixture to a boil on the stovetop. Rue (or rosemary), white sage, Lavender, rose buds, pink salt, and basil. Once your mixture has turned into a tea on the stove top take it and head to your tub. As you pour the mixture in recite this purification prayer below.

“I release the unforgivable, and all the things that cause me deep seeded fear and hold me back. The things that hold me back from being my true self, accomplishing my goals, and having endless success. I release the emotional pain that I carry with me each and every day. Affecting my heart, my actions, and my reactions. I release and heal the wounds that prevent me from feeling love, worth, and anything but trauma and the sting of karma. I release these things not only from this life but all past lives, and dimensions. I release all blocks keeping me tied to karma and trauma. I release all resentments, and unwanted thoughts I keep on a loop in my mind towards myself and others. I release all beliefs sabotaging myself and not allowing me to connect authentically to my higher self. With the passing of this powerful, fertile, and grounded full moon my life is renewed. I am purified, cleansed, and whole. I am free from stagnation and pain. I am able love purely and unconditionally on this eve I am I am renewed.”

Get into your tub; cleanse and wash your body from head to toe as you visualize that cleansing energy go over every inch of your body. Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes. If you do not have a tub: Pour the herbal water over your head and body in the shower and do your best to ensure that the water touches all parts of your body, including private parts. Do not rinse. It is best not to towel dry and instead let the body air dry as much as possible.

Emotional Healing Spell

Use this emotional healing spell tonight to allow you to heal and release a wound from the past that has been showing up lately and causing some unwanted effects on your life. This spell will be incredibly potent during this Pisces full moon as you will have the two fishes with you to dive deep and release what truly needs to be released.


How to perform:
1.Get yourself into sacred container by calling pink healing energy to you and into your sacred container
2. Grab your herbs and grind them together into a powder
3. Take your pink candle and anoint it with your oil
4. Take your candle and roll it in the herbal mixture towards you while envisioning yourself healing from the emotional wounds that are affecting you right now
5.Next, hold your piece of rhodochrosite in your hand as you light your candle
6. Once it is lit focus on the pink energy again and recite the following spell
“Emotional healing to me please send. Soothe my heart and help me mend. Heal my heart, release the past allow my inner scars to close up fast.”
7. Let the candle burn until it goes out on it’s own. Take the crystal and place on your altar for you to back to whenever you need support or healing throughout the week

Conclusion

Working with the Introspective, detail orientated, and helpful Virgo New Moon

We are entering a new lunar phase this week, on September 2nd; the New moon. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel the influence over our moods and intuition shift. This month we find the moon in the practical, organized, productive, grounded, nurturing, compassionate, helpful, reflective, and detail orientated sign of the maiden; Virgo. As the moon begins her cycle in the sign Virgo; we feel a deep, introspective, and comforting pull to go deep within the soils of who we are to reflect. Virgo reminds us of the power each of our daily actions and decisions has. While pushing us to make the changes we must. This new moon calls for us to look at our own lives to see where we want to put some attention to detail towards ourselves.

When the New Moon in Virgo arrives, it’s a good time to embrace fresh starts and new beginnings. As an earth sign, Virgo’s energy encourages you to get organized and focus on precision. To focus on the execution of your plans to meet your goals and serve those in need throughout your community. Virgo is all about creating order out of chaos, making it the perfect moment to set detailed intentions and plan your next steps. Virgo rules work, small projects, tasks, chores, and the details. This makes it a time we can focus on what we need to get done with extra productivity and efficiency. The Virgo New Moon provides an opportunity to make a list and go through everything that you didn’t have the time or energy for the month before. Then get them done and out of the way now as you prep for the long winter ahead.

This Virgo new moon, brings balance to your life with order, logic, and grounding. The Virgo new Moon forces you to become aware of the state of your health as Virgo is the ruler of all matters of health and wellness in the zodiac. This includes your mental, emotional and physical health, which may push you to make changes in your lifestyle and allow you to get the support you need to release old hurts. This new moon also brings with it a sense of balance with all of the hard work you have to put in for the fall harvest that is right around the corner, while also celebrating the joy and gratitude for the bounty the Earth has given you this season.

New Moon What Is It And Why We Honor It?

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we reorder the soils of our lives with new moon in Virgo. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy below!

So, who is Virgo?

This sign gets a lot of crap in the zodiac and many do not like to work with it and we often see people talking about how this is their most hated sign and energy to work with. For me this moon is one of my favorites every time it comes around. Maybe, it’s because I not only am a Virgo moon and rising, but I have Virgo in 9 of my houses so, when this moon comes around I personally am amplified. Or, maybe it’s because this energy is so dense and steeped in duality and movement. Which, I just simply can not wait to see what I can accomplish and get done while in it. But, let’s talk about who Virgo is to the Zodiac and the energy she represents.

Virgo is represented by the virgin or maiden archetype and is deeply connected to the element of earth and is a mutable sign. Virgo is an Earth sign so it’s practical, stable, and grounded but, it’s also related to Mercury. Which means it has an active mind and is related to communication as well. Virgo reminds us of the importance of maintaining a solid connection with the Earth and encourages us to connect with the divine order amidst the vast universal chaos. It reminds us the comfort the bounty of the earth has to offer all around us and the beauty order can create in nature.

The sign of Virgo, is rooted in the physical world which makes Virgo the sign of health and wellness, so right now we may focus on trying to work on health issues. This includes scheduling needed medical appointments, changing your eating habits, hydrating yourself, adding exercise, and adjusting your sleep schedule. Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury has dominion over the brain and the nervous system, which reminds us of the links between the mind and the functions of the body. This can be the perfect energy to use to help you eliminate a bad habit, or to quit something that is causing you harm.

Virgo can also be seen across many pantheons as a key representation to the seasons, duality, and a key part to the divine feminine energy we all are connected to. Virgo is represented by the maiden and virgin energy making her vital to the triple goddess representation of the divine feminine energy. She represents and connects us to the first pivotal transformation and shift we go thru in our lives moving from child to a maiden before the next phase into the mother energy of our lives. You see this energy and representation with goddesses like Persephone and her story of transformation to power thru duality.

Virgo the Maiden/Virgin

Unlike the majority of other zodiac signs, the symbol for Virgo is very unique since it is not an animal. Instead, the symbol is the beautiful maiden or the virgin and is depicted as a young woman carrying a sheaf of wheat, an image that can be interpreted as a fertility goddess or a harvest maiden. The maiden stands for beauty, purity, and tranquility. Virgo translates to “virgin” in Latin and the maiden is symbolic of this translation but, not in a literal sense. Her presence is considered a reflection of patience, integrity, and honor, all traits that the Virgo displays within the zodiac. The Virgo symbol of the Maiden also expresses the service-oriented qualities of this zodiac sign. As a grounded earth sign and an analytical mutable sign, Virgo is the purist of the zodiac, and also highly organized and clean.

The Virgo Constellation

Virgo is the largest constellation of the Zodiac and the second largest constellation in the sky located between the constellations Leo and Libra. It contains the bright star Spica, along with many exoplanets and deep-space objects. The constellation is also widely associated with the harvest. It marks the part of the sky where the Sun rises in autumn, when crops are harvested. In some Greek stories and myths, Virgo is Persephone, the daughter of the Greek goddess Demeter who ruled over the harvests. While in others, Virgo relates to Dike, the Greek goddess of justice. Virgo is therefore usually pictured as a young maiden standing or lying on her side and holding a sheaf of wheat. The star Spica represents the grain in her hand within the constellation.

Themes for the Virgo new moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the practical, organized, productive, grounded, nurturing, compassionate, helpful, reflective, and detail orientated sign of the maiden/virgin; Virgo. The maiden is also the sign that represents our health, wellness, the mind, and the connection between our body and the mind. When you rearrange the soils of your soul, with not only the moon as your guide but the maiden as well. You are most likely to see themes focused on these topics as you sift through and analyze your emotions and thoughts. The Virgo New Moon is going to bring the spotlight on your health/ wellness, your inner thoughts and dialogue, your daily habits, as well as on the organization of your home and the tiny details that make up your life. Let’s explore some of the themes and energies of Virgo deeper below.

Virgo the Practical and analytical mind

Virgo is deeply connected to our practical and analytical side of our mind and it is heightened with it’s connection to mercury as well. With it being so analytical this energy can cause us to go deep into our minds and reflect. The Virgo new Moon highlights the invitation to notice in what areas of our lives we need more discernment, better boundaries, and a stronger connection with the Earth. Virgo likes to cut through the noise and get to the good stuff; constantly sorting out thoughts, feelings, and everything around. Virgo energy allows you to figure out what’s useful or useless, what’s true or not true, what’s right or wrong.

The Virgo new Moon offers us chances to see where better standards may be needed, where we may be ungrounded or excessively idealistic, and what needs to be differently structured or organized for the sake of better functionality or health. This lunation also invites us to refine our capacity to discern between the whispers of our intuition and the voice of our fears and insecurities. Take the time to really focus on differentiating between those voices especially in this energy and don’t allow the analytical energy of Virgo to turn into ruminating thoughts which it can very easily do. This new Moon in Virgo is a time to let go of self-doubt, perfectionism, and self-criticism as you step into your potential.

Virgo the sign of heightened productivity

The Virgo new Moon is often a time of heightened productivity. Virgo is the sign of work in the zodiac, and new moons rule beginnings; which makes this a time to really focus on the things you need to get done. Including the urge to create and start your to do lists. This is going to be overwhelming and you may become very hyper focused on them and take great joy in checking each task off the list as you finish it. We can take on and tackle all the tiny little projects, tasks, and chores at home or at a job, we have been putting off but, now must take care of and get done. This new moon is your chance to get organized, analyze your goals, and take action towards your dreams, without being overly critical of yourself.

Virgo is very detailed orientated, and thrives in order and cleanliness. So, when we are in this energy we can be focused and pay close attention to detail. By detail, I mean every tiny little detail. You may become aware of things in your life, your home, and relationships you never may have noticed before. Because, of this we can get hyper focused on tidying things up in our physical space by doing a fall cleaning, reorganizing our home, or purging and donating things.

With the extra attention to detail we can take a look at all areas of our life to see where it can use some more structure and order to lead to more efficient productivity. I know for me I end up redoing my bullet journal, my family binder, my schedule, my sons schedule, the list could go on. I end up endlessly planning and rearranging things but, in a very reflective way with purpose and drive for long term goals. Virgo reminds us that our time is finite and that we must treat it as a precious resource.

Virgo always being of service to others

Virgo is the sign of service to others and is overflowing with nurturing energy that simply wants to help anyone and everyone they see that needs it. Virgo is literally the healing energy of the cosmos and the energy that will help you with anything you need help with. Virgo takes deep happiness from helping others as well. You see this with many of your nurses, doctors, lawyers and social workers being from this sign. Virgo’s essence of being of service encourages you to align your actions with your heart’s desire, making this a powerful moment for intentional living for the greater good of the collective.

Since, Virgo loves to lend a helping hand, don’t be surprised if you are the first person to volunteer when a friend asks for a favor right now. But, don’t be mistaken; you won’t feel obligated in the least bit. Because Virgo loves to pitch in, you’ll not only want to come to someone’s aid, but you’ll also get extreme satisfaction from it.

This new moon makes it a great time to take a look around your community and see where you can serve those around you. What needs in community are not being met? How can you help those needs be met? How can you serve and nurture those around you? Where in your community can you volunteer your time to serve others? It’s a perfect lunation to start volunteering somewhere, plan a fundraiser, or host a community awareness event; especially focused on mental health with Virgo being the sign of the mind.

Virgo New Moon and Duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it.

First, let’s talk about the sign Virgo.  I may be a bit biased on this sign to be honest since it is my birth sign, my ruling sign, and it dominates my entire chart ruling 9 of my houses. But, Virgo in my opinion is an energy that we miss the duality of often. Virgo is known for being very analytical, methodical, and detail oriented which creates an energy focused on change, goals, growth, problem solving, tiny details, and at times perfection. But, this sign is also one of the most compassionate, caring, and nurturing signs of the zodiac as well. Which also creates an energy that is very deep, loving, emotional, sensitive, and at times self sacrificing. The mix between these two energies weaves an energy and magic that pushes you to look at every tiny detail for perfection and ways to change things and those around you and for yourself. With the deep nurturing desire to push them and/or yourself to grow, heal, and be the best versions we are all capable of being for the greater good of the collective.

Second; the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space and energy. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from and ending and death. If you want to know more about duality and being a grey witch you can watch my class with Divination Academy about it here.

What To Be Cautious Of This Virgo New Moon

So, let’s talk about the reasons why this sign tends to be so hated and what to look our for yourself with the Virgo energy. Since Virgo is so attached to your analytical side and so detail orientated it can come off as and be very critical at times of others. So, try and slow down and be clear with your communication with others during this time. Let them know you are coming from a place of caring, and simply wanting to help.

With it being detail orientated one thing this energy may do is cause your reflection and analysis to get very critical and harsh with yourself and cause some perfectionism to take over. So, remember to focus on the part of the Virgo energy that is nurturing and helping to others and extend it to yourself. And remember Virgo is the sign of health so physical self care can really build self compassion and help keep your critical thoughts at a productive level and not allow them to reach a harmful one.

Remember how Virgo brings heightened productivity and a push to get stuff done? That can sometimes go into overdrive with the Virgo energy. It can become so strong you simply want to go, go, and go. You may feel the need to get so much done you push yourself to burn out. DON”T LET THAT HAPPEN! During this time remember that the only way you can continue to be productive is by taking those breaks now and than when you need them. So take them! Set yourself some reminders in your phone even if you have to. Nothing, feels worse than doing a massive amount of work to watch it all backslide because you burn yourself out and can’t follow through.

Leaf Intention Setting Ritual

One of my favorite things to do when the air gets a little crisper, and the leaves begin to change color and fall; is to use the fall leaves for intention setting rituals! It’s a simple and fun thing to do and the prep gets you out into the beauty of nature which allows you the ability to connect to the element of earth; the ruler of Virgo.

For your prep work grab something to write with. I find that sharpies tend to work best for actually sticking to the leaves. If you don’t have any, you can also use small strips of paper you can mix into a handful of leaves. Next, take the time to head outside and go on a mindful nature walk while you look for and find as many leaves as you have intentions to set.

Once, you have them simply find a peaceful spot where ever you are in nature that is calling to you. Than take the time to take deep, mindful breaths in and out taking in all the sounds, smells, and sensations of the Earth all around you. Consider what provides a sense of stability to your life and what brings stress or chaos. This can help you make better decisions about where to put your energy and what intentions you are about to set. Envision the intentions now that you are going to set this lunar cycle. Focus on each tiny detail of your intentions. Focus on the plans and how you will achieve them and how productive they make you feel. When you feel set on your intentions write them on your leaves or little strips of paper while holding the vision of each detail in your minds eye. Finally, on your next exhale release your intentions to the winds of fall and the detail orientated and productive Virgo new moon.
