New Moon in Aquarius
As an Aquarian who loves New Moon energy, I am doubly excited about this coming Sunday’s new moon in Aquarius. I expect it will herald a time of change, great insight and visionary thinking. We are being encouraged to take a good look at our lives and ditch out-moded ideas and beliefs.
For the last week or so I feel like a door has opened and I am being invited to take a look at my life from a new perspective – v. interesting! So we can use this time for a psychological clear out, harnessing the power of the new moon. We could choose to release unhealthy relationships, addictive behaviour, workaholic tendencies and poor dietary habits and are more likely to be supported and find great ease in making these transitions.
Aquarian energy is rebellious and risky so keep a check on your actions and ask the opinion of friends if you feel unsure about the changes you wish to make in your life. The rebel archetype is combined with a desire for unity and peace though, so decisions will probably be for the greater good.
The New Moon is the darkest phase of the moon, a time to plan ahead and plant ideas to come to fruition later. As the moon waxes and the light energy increases, the moon growing full again, so the seeds that we have planted in the time of darkness begin to grow too. Very exciting! Drop me a line to let me know what dreams you are hoping to manifest.

Spot on Melissa! My Birthday was on Saturday 24th. I have been working on getting myself back on my feet and have now the motivation to lead the life I have been occasionally delving into. Vegan, at least 50% Raw Food, more exercise and to make use of the books I have bought on natural forms of healing and extend my interests in other areas! I am hoping to open a community center in our town but it’s baby steps at the moment. There’s so many wonderfully exciting paths opening up, I’ll keep you posted!
