New Moon in Pisces

New Moon February 26th

As with all New Moon this symbolizes the planting of new seeds new intentions, this new moon will be in the zodiac sun sign of pisces (it is also a SOLAR ECLIPSE) - 

Through journeying to Mama quilla/ BiBi Karaya (grand mother moon) and mam cocha / Atabey (mother of the waters) they have shared with me that the significance of this new moon is to deepen our spiritual and inner practice. As you know the symbol for pisces is two fish, this represents duality the internal and external, the light and dark, the dual aspect humanity chooses to accept, finding peace and connecting these two sides of self creates peace in our day to day experiences. 
March 1st in christianity is the beginning of Lent a 40 day period used to sacrifice some aspect of our lives in search of a stronger connection to spirit, this new moon assists the energy of Lent but not to sacrifice or give up, but to deepen our practice as Jesus deepened his practice in the wilderness before being tested. The pisces is the last of the zodiac signs and with that in mind it urges us to review the energy of all the signs that came before it, as we prepare our self for the budding and blossoming desires / intentions of spring (vernal equinox March 20th).

This new Moon ceremony instructions below is to help you for the upcoming full moon (march 12/13th Full Crow Moon, those of us in Jamaica have already seen the black birds all over heralding the approach of spring) and the energy that will follow  .

The ceremony is as follows:

1. OPEN SACRED SPACE you can use a prayer or simply set your intentions asking for your higher self/ creator to enter your space and allow all that will be done to work towards the benefit of yourself firstly and all around you.

2. get a bowl with water and a candle or anything that represents Fire Energy

3.place one hand in the bowl and the other above the candle (just to feel the warmth you can also be near a fire or fire place)

Repeat the following words focusing on the water :Atabey / Mama Cocha mother of the waters teach me to ride the waves of life, accepting the lessons in every experience as they groom me towards your glory.

Repeat the following words focusing on the fire: Yocah /InTi- titi great sun (son), spark my passions within me, show me the trail I am to follow shinning my light for all to see.

4.Repeat the following focusing on your heart; Great spirit, may the fire of my passions, the eb and flow of my emotions, and the guidance from great spirit unite all aspects of my being, light and dark, mind and emotions, inward and outward.

5.Focus on your heart and visualise the water and the fire encircling each other within  you, always close but never touching finding your center your peace.

while visualising speak aloud all the things you desire whether they seem contradictory or not, trust that grand mother moon will hear your request and lead you towards a practice that will strengthen your health, love life, clarity and abundance.

6.When you are finished ask Atabey /mama quilla for a word that will help you to tap into the energy of your becoming the healed you...

7.after the ceremony out the fire but keep the water in a jar or cup have it by your bedside while you sleep (cover it if you feel led) each morning until the 12th (full moon) repeat the word you received from Atabey /mama quilla dip a finger in the water and place on your forehead then heart.
