A New Moon Ritual

The New Moon is a time of new beginnings. It's when the mo(o)n-thly cycle begins after the Dark Moon; it is the first sliver of light of the next Moon and so a new cycle begins. This month the New Moon in Sagittarius is the last New Moon of the year and it is also occurring during a Total Solar Eclipse, when the new moon directly passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light completely. This New Moon represents the end of something(s) in order to make room for the beginning of new things.

Now is the time for self-reflection. Begin to think about what it is you want to bring into the New Year and begin manifesting those things. This is an extremely powerful time so make sure you are clear on what you really want to bring into 2021. Emotions will run high and fear will be present. Listen to the signs that are sent to you, but hold off on acting upon them right now, just make note of what they are and feel all the feelings that come up with them.

Themes to consider at this time:

• Your sense of Adventure

• Friendships- Your Vibe Attracts your Tribe

• Plant the seeds of new ideas- Take action on that idea you have been sitting on

• Full expression of yourself- Go Big or Go Home

• Teachers & Gurus- Recognize the teachers who show up in your life
