New Moon in Sagittarius

To prepare for the Full Cold Moon below is the guidance received :

The Sagittarius New Moon is today Dec 7th.  The days grow short and dark for many of us, so it's a cosmic sync that the inner light is stoked. 

The enspiriting themes of Sagittarius are freedom, highest aspiration, wisdom, questing, travel, enlightened minds, kindred spirits, friend to all, gregarious friendships and togetherness (without being stifling.)

It's time to seek out an inspired vision, one that is ignited by others also catching fire with ideas and enthusiasm. You become part of something bigger than yourself, while also sensing your unique mission, gifts to share.

Sagittarius is about fusion without necessarily knowing how it happens. Dots get connected, and what you're aware of fuses into a focused intention. And it's about being loyal to your own sense of what's true.  You won't want to miss anything the muse and spirit send your way!
from Molly Hall Astrology Expert

Each moon, has a vibration has an energy as we would not seek to plant crops requiring heat in the cold season, so too do not desire to act out of alignment with nature.

The cold moon speaks towards our desire and intentions, it speaks towards going within to grow your imagination and visualisation, from now we create the vibrations for the new year. 
The bear goes within to Hibernate, so too until the full moon reflect on your year, what serves you no more as a desire ... a thought... a relationship that requires release ?
What feeds your soul and your passion ... ?
What has brought you great joy from source that is unconditional and dependent on no other variable than self ?

In the darkness of the moon practice the exercise below :

Open Sacred Space, this is a practice of praying and setting the mood and tone of one that is accepting to the Creator to enter your space throughout the process of your practice.

I recommend using a candle  and for 10 mins staring at the flame, with each inhale feel the light within you grow, and with each exhale the fog in your mind is removed, continue this practice repeating each line until you find your answer your way , your path (when your eyes get watery or tired close them and hold the after image of the flame in your minds eye ).

fill the gap in the following sentences on a sheet of paper .

I _______ will Empower myself with ____________..
I _______ will attract meaningful relationships with ___________.
I _______ will increase my health with ________________.
I _______ will increase my abundance by _____________.

example ; I Robert will empower myself with my mantras.
               I Robert will attract meaningful relationships with my joy and pleasant demeanor.

               I Robert will increase my health with daily practice of  meditation.
               I Robert will increase my abundance by living in Grace.

Visualise each of these events, visualise your practice for the upcoming year from now each day until the full moon.
(Keep this paper in a safe place on the full moon the ceremony will involve burning this sheet).

If you receive any insights, sounds, smells, visions during this day make a note no matter how strange it may seem (you can always contact me for symbolic interpretation).

Energy is present 2 days before and 2 days after new moon so you have time to practice.

New Moon in Scorpio Ceremony

We will be experiencing the New Moon in Scorpio on November 7th.

SCORPIO

The most striking and easily recognized of the summer constellations, Scorpio begins to be noticed in the evening sky by mid-spring.

Scorpio is the time of year when autumn has reached its darkest, deepest dormancy. We journey to the underworld at this time. In this journey we face the demons of our dark inner world hidden within our psyches. From making the journey, staying with the quest of self-discovery and eventually, mastery, comes the transformational aspect of Scorpio. But first the depths of the murky, muddy waters must be fully explored and understood.

The issues of sex, death and rebirth are a recurring theme for the Scorpion frequency. The many mundane experiences of these three play themselves out over and over again in human experience until, ultimately, the final death is achieved ... the death of the personality, with all of its attendant selfish concerns and desires, now raised and transmuted into selfless attainment of higher consciousness.

The glyph of Scorpio has been seen by some to be representative of the kundalini force. This vital life force spirals up the spine, serpent like, to the third eye, balancing the dualities of personality with the unity of consciousness.

Scorpio is the great constellation which influences the turning point both in the life of humanity and the life of the individual human being. The tests of Scorpio are necessarily three in nature as they concern intimately the readiness of the threefold personality:

1. To reorient itself to the life of the soul, and later
2. To evidence readiness for initiation.
3. To demonstrate sensitivity to the Plan thus becoming the one-pointed disciple in Sagittarius.

New Moon in Leo

Aug 11th 2018 New moon in Leo  Partial SOLAR ECLIPSE

Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac and represents those born July 22 to August 22. It is considered a masculine, extroverted sign.

The majestic lion, the King of the Beasts, is Leo's symbol. Throughout history, the lion has symbolized sovereignty, rulership, and courage. "The lion's size and strength have captured human imagination since ancient times.

The fact that it is a nocturnal creature means that the lion is a symbol of authority and command over subconscious thought (as night is an ancient symbol of the subconscious - or dream states).

It's interesting that the lion is considered by many ancient cultures to be a solar animal symbol, however it is primarily a nocturnal creature, conducting its hunting activity mostly at night. Further, the lioness is considered a lunar animal.

This serves as a symbolic message of balance and sound judgment. In that the lion shares the world of both night and day, the lion bears a message of prudence to us. In other words, the lion asks us to not overdo in certain areas of our lives. Rather, keep an even mind and an overall balance in our life activities.

This new moon energy is ideal for making big decisions, big shifts with regards to work, relationships, our personal power / self worth and finishing old projects.

Time to not merely tackle but conquer areas of our life.

The ceremony below will assist with tapping into the Leo energy that will be present for creating new ways of addressing old recurring issues, and the beginning of new adventures.

New Moon Ceremony :

1.OPEN SACRED SPACE : Practice a prayer, chant, mantra, or listen to a song that invites the energies desired into your space, that of gratitude to great spirit and a connection to your spiritual teachers to assist and ensure that the greatest good for yourself and all involved will be the sole intention of this ceremony.

2. ITEMS REQUIRED: Pen , paper, and a Candle

3.DECLARING INTENTIONS: Write on a sheet of paper the intentions you would like strengthened through the energy of this new moon in Leo, focus mainly on older projects and desires you have had through out the year which for whatever reason have not fully manifested as yet, this is the time to boost those intentions with the bright conquering energy of Leo.
It is recommended to split these intentions into categories either in the order of - Personal Power, Work, Relationships , Health ... or Old projects , short term goals, longterm goals etc..
Write them in  simple forms instead of long statements or paragraphs that is easier to remember through out the day or during your meditation.

4.MEDITATION: Light the candle and place it on a table or in an area that you can be on eye level with the wick / flame. Recite within your mind each of your intentions at a time while focusing on the cleansing fire of the candle, stare at the flame until your eyes start to water (do not strain yourself if you feel like resting your eyes please do so, always important to listen to your body ) , then with your eyes closed focus on the after image in your mind of the flame for as long as you can while still reciting in your mind your intention.
This type of meditation helps with focusing and the transition of your desire from the space of the conscious mind to the sub conscious mind programmed into your being.

Do this 3 times for each item on your list or until you feel lighter and a sense of gratitude.

5.GRATITUDE - Place your hands before your heart in prayer pose and thank Great spirit for allowing this opportunity in time, for this moment to tap into the natural energy of the heavens and for allowing you to channel this energy into assisting your day to day life, claiming the promises of abundance joy and well being.

Ensure to ask that your desires will work towards your benefit and that of all involved, always seeking the greatest good for everyone.

6. INTEGRATION - Until the August Full Moon, for atleast 1 week straight try to practice this meditation exercise with focusing on your list (if you miss a day please try to start over or practice 2 times the following day). Alternative is to recite your list or meditate upon your desires 2 times everyday until the full moon of August, once as you wake and once before heading into dream time.

7. CLOSING SACRED SPACE - Thank the energies you called into the space to assist with the ceremony and setting of your intentions. Keep the paper with you until the full moon, I recommend posting it in plain sight or under your pillow to assist with the integration practice of repeating them twice everyday.

Energy of new moon present 2 days before and after the New Moon.

You may seek my counsel with interpreting dreams or symbolism you become aware of during the ceremonies.

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  .

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.
