I sure as fuck have been. So many emotions flooding me. Waves crashing, tides rising and falling. A veritable roller coaster of life. Sometimes throwing me around so much I want to puke and other times I just want to experience it again and again. โ

Cosmic Consciousness

The Moon, feminine in nature (not gendered, but energetically) reflects one's psyche. Itโs symbolic of the deep, hidden work of the unconscious. In the Taoist tradition, itโs Yin energy- the receptive, soft, resting, still, downward/inner movements of the soul.
A New Moon is marked as a time of reset, when the veil between this world and Otherworlds is lifted. When we wander into the darkness to nurture intuitions. Because of this,โ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ด๐บ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ค ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ด๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด.โ - ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข ๐๐ข๐บ๐ฆ
The slate of the cycle is wiped clean, time of new beginnings, a gift from the Universe to reset and start over for the new cycle. The Goddess of the New Moon is Artemis, Protectress and Huntress. A symbolic reminder to take time to honor nature, protect what is sacred, and to remain calm and focused.
The Moon in Sagittarius seeks freedom, open spaces, and a perpetual truth. The symbol of Sagittarius is the Archer Pan or Diana. Paired with Artemis, there is an elevated appreciation for the truths revealed. Drawing back the gaze of your bow and expanding your curiosity to see where it lands. Sagittarius is a traveling wanderer in search for higher spiritual meanings. Always the visionary, sometimes a bit overzealous with the truth, it's a time to think before speaking and check motives. Lean into imagination. How can beliefs be reinvisioned? Are there blocks in the way?
And if this wasnโt enough, minutes before the peak of the New Moon is a Solar Eclipse.
The Darkness at the End of the Tunnel

Eclipses are a sort of portal, a tunnel revealing whatโs been hiding in the shadows. Historically, eclipses were feared and seen as omens. Presently, there are messages to be found. Nothing to be afraid of, just to be aware and open. In fact, for some, the messages may come in the days that follow. Some subtle and some not so.
Think of it like thisโฆ When the power goes out and itโs in the dark of the night. You search for your flashlights or your candles. In the meantime, you have to rely on your other senses to guide you. In time, your vision adapts to the dark. You might even be able to see things more clearly, even before you find your light source. This is the dark vision of Eclipses and New Moons. There can be value in vulnerability. There is a reservoir of resilience existing below the surface.
โReorientations are a catalyst for your soulโs growth.โ - Eileen Mello
Solar Eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and when it's a New Moon. Not every New Moon, just when the alignment of the lunar nodes is just so. The Solar Eclipse at 8:14a may usher in creative transformation and over-arching changes, a rebirth. Instincts and feelings are heightened and can sometimes overtake logic and reason. Things can get shaken up, shaken loose, and shift your focus.
This particular Eclipse is a South Node Eclipse, meaning it's an even deeper connection to the โoldโ making way for the โnew.โ In its darkness, itโs illuminating the ways one can get stuck in these old beliefs, old patterns. Paying attention to oneโs relationship to being able to let go to make way for the new. But at the same time, it could be a way to shine a light on the mastery in life and how to use this to move forward into the new season ahead.
Reflection Questions:

What higher truths have been presenting themselves?
What does freedom look like/mean for you?
What is truly important for you to see where youโre going?
What path is presenting itself to follow?
What is sacred to you?
What does it all mean?
Where am I stuck?
What have I mastered and how can I make this work for me?
How do you move with changes?
TL:DR

New Moon + Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius at 8:16a. A New Moon is a time of new beginnings, a gift from the Universe to reset and start over for the new cycle. Sagittarius is a traveling wanderer in search for higher spiritual meanings. Always the visionary, sometimes a bit overzealous with the truth, it's a time to think before speaking and check motives. Lean into imagination.

The Solar Eclipse at 8:14a may usher in creative transformation and over-arching changes, a rebirth. Instincts and feelings are heightened and can sometimes overtake logic and reason. Mythologically, weโve got the Archer (Sag) and Goddess Artemis (New Moon), Protectress and Huntress. Drawing back the gaze of your bow and expanding your curiosity to see where it lands.
All this darkness can be vulnerable.
Maybe even disorienting. It may not.
There can be value in vulnerability.
There is a reservoir of resilience existing below the surface.
Be open to the search and what you might find.
You just might be surprised.

* By shadow and light, I donโt mean positive or negative. They are expressions of the energies of life which we can tap into during the phases of the moon, flavored by what sign it is in.โ
As always, may the light shine on you. May the shadows teach you. May you be open to the signs and symbols all around you. They are always there, you just need the right kind of vision.
