Om Mitrayai Namaha
Sun: 2 Taurus
Moon: 16 Aries. 345 degrees from Sun, new Moon
Inner Moon: days 1-7, low progesterone, low estrogen, bleeding
Moon Vibes:
The ambiguous presence that brings gifts of creative potential. Now that we are in the darkest phase of the Moon cycle, the obscure vision makes for reimagining new possibilities. This phase is where we plant new seeds of intention. New Moon relates to Winter Solstice and Yule. In tantra yoga, this is the merging of Moon and Sun from third-eye to crown of the head. In and out breath unite at the crown of the head in breath pause (kumbhaka) where the magic of integration of opposites happens. In the hero’s journey, this is the call to adventure. The phase of the inner Moon cycle related with new Moon is menstruation. Low progesterone, low estrogen and bleeding is present. Take time to rest and reflect. Great phase for receiving dreams and insight. Use foods with higher protein, nurturing, and easy to digest.
Moon in Aries:
Moon in Aries bringing closer to 3rd lunar cycle through Aries. Moon approaching Sun for Taurus new Moon at 3:45 am, pst. Dark sky tonight and meteor shower, best viewing pre-dawn. Locate star Vega. The meteors will be in that area of the sky. Moon making a visit with Mercury, the messenger. In Aries, the messages may be on the topic of protecting, fighting, using creative fire for your cause.
Astrology info to consider:
Uranus and Saturn in 90° angle for the next 2 years is a process of radical freedom, reforming cold-rings-Saturn to include rebels and new technology. Also teaching us how to “freedom” with Saturnian structure. Since being home, how have you been about setting up your work/play schedule? Think of it as giving yourself a structure from which to play in.Sun approaching Uranus, exact on 25April. Sun square with Saturn, irritation between ego and the boss. Government took our inner Saturn principle by removing our elder wisdom, native tongue, rituals, ceremony, food, plant medicine and becoming an entity we depend upon for everything. Bring back your Saturn by the illumination of Earth-Taurus Sun. Talk to your grandparents and other people who remember.
Nutrition suggestion:
Ritual:
We are going to close out the Aries moon cycle tonight and clear space to welcome the beginning of a new cycle tomorrow when the Moon meet the Sun. Remember the practice of breathing in the seed of thought? The ‘I am…’ statement your formulated on the first night this this moon cycle, the last time the moon was moving through Aries? Look back in your journal around March 24th. Start your ritual by reflecting in your journal on how you feel in relation to your “I am -” statement, compared to how you felt about it 27 days ago.
Light your altar candle and call in sacred space, allowing all your awareness to land here in your present time and space and asking your spirit guides to support you in this space.
Tonight we will practice fire gazing again. Imagine that the fire on your altar is representing the light and energy force of your I am statement. As you softly fix your focus on this force of energy, trust that the fire is burning away any final tread of distance between you and this I am statement. Continue to express your I am statement aloud with emphasis and feeling, knowing that is it truth, it is done.
Tonight would be a good time to clean your altar, clearing away any dust that has collected this past cycle and creating a clean space for tomorrow’s important new moon ritual.
Conclude in gratitude.
Dreams:
If you can’t stay present with uncomfortable events in waking life, dreams will continue to elude you and waking life will be half-lived. The uncomfortable things present themselves as a gift. The energy generated can be used for opening the heart, even if it feels like it’s breaking you open.
How real can you be with yourself and loved ones? Do you assign roles to characters in your life to play out your inner drama then push aside or avoid the emotions stirred up? Do you blame the characters rather than working with your own inner reality?
Tonight, ask to be shaken out like a rug. Debris released to be seen, felt, integrated and fully digested. Have your journal ready to write in the morning.
Menstruation cycle and Moon:
What phase of your inner Moon cycle are you in? What hormones are most prominent? How does this relate with outer Moon’s climax, peak fertility, ovulation point? Remember, your cycle and Moon cycle do not need to match. Read more about the correspondences here.
