Today is the new moon of February, which apparently is in Aquarius, which apparently means it is one of the more powerful new moon cycles of the year. I love astrology, but I actually know very little about the many details of it, which is why I include “apparently” so often.
The new moon starts a new cycle culminating in the full moon, which, by the way, is a great time to release what you do not need in your life – just before you start the new moon cycle and ceremony to help attract the future you want for yourself and your loved ones.
New Moon = New Cycle of Life = Time for New Dreams
So, any time today would be a wonderful time to embark on a new plan, a new dream, a new goal, a new love, or a new attitude.
New Moon ceremonies should not upset anyone of any religion or faith. Just as we prepare and celebrate the ending/beginning of a new year, we can and should do the same each month. It is a healthy way to stay on top of our priorities and a way to give more power to our wishes and hearts’ desires.
Some say you should create a sacred space by starting with a prayer, burning incense or sage, etc., and then write a list of things or events that you wish to manifest in the coming month. The list can be just one thing, some say it should be 10 things, and others say there is no limit to the number of intentions you can have on your list.
You can have this ceremony alone, or with another or with a group. You can read your wish list aloud or silently. You can pretty much construct this habit however you wish, just so it feels right to you.
If you are or were seeing a therapist, you know that one of the things many of them “hound” you about is “what do you want”… out of life, in a career, in a relationship, etc and etc. So, save yourself some money and heal thyself. You have the power within you to discover who you really are and what you really want.
Do this each month and see what happens. Pay attention. Keep a journal and rewrite your list every new moon.
Another “Abundance Ceremony” which many participate in is writing the abundance check. The check is payable to you, and the amount is written as “Paid in Full.” Some say the payer of the check is you also, but I prefer to consider the source as the Creator. That way I can nurture a more grateful attitude which is also important. You can use a real check or write it as a note, or you can print out some pre-made abundance checks in the link below.
