I have been infatuated with the moon cycles since 2019, when I began to incorporate everything energetically into my healing journey. Who would have thought or believed that these cycles really influence us emotionally?

I was very optimistic when I came upon this. Now, here I am, embracing this free tool we are constantly provided with to ensure my journey goes as smoothly as possible. I can take this powerful shift to enhance my healing and growth.

As I seek information, it has been a bit overwhelming with the amount of content that gets put into a story. At times, I would prefer a “Quick Guide for Dummies” approach since I am not looking to become certified in any specific topic. I just want some basics to comprehend and some guidance to help me utilize this energy to my advantage.

Yes, I am that person I run with red🔴, I want to get to the point and skip the in-between until further notice. I like directness and a no-nonsense approach.

Therefore, don’t judge — just do your research on this running on red personality trait and blog about it. I do though want to see my Name mentioned as your inspiration. 😉

Wow!! talk about the proof is in the pudding; I just demonstrated to you how a direct and no-nonsense approach is at play. You best hurry, or I might just blog about the color you're racing with.

Now, back to my original post. Below, I will incorporate some cliff notes I’ve jotted down throughout my moon cycle research. I hope to simplify it for you so you can understand and maybe become motivated to indulge in reading more Indepth's about this miraculous gift from the universe.

Let’s begin with some facts: On October 2nd at 2:49 pm ET, there will be a New Moon and Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees, 3 minutes in the sign of libra. This event holds significant astrological importance as they mark powerful moments of new beginnings, shifts in consciousness, and major life changes. And since it aligns with the sign of Libra, it's all about romance, connecting, and finding that soulmate kind of love.

Muy importante !!! Please try to stay mentally and emotionally balanced as you navigate these significant changes. Since this is about what is and isn’t working in one’s relational life, it’s about letting go and calling in what you actually want. I will list a few practices I follow for you towards the end.

This upcoming Tuesday’s New Moon aligns with a Solar Eclipse, offering a chance for a fresh start. This cosmic event brings themes of balance, justice, and relationships to the forefront. Not only are the Sun and Moon joining in perfect synchronicity, but Mercury is also there too. A passionate desire for freedom can lead to fierce rebellion on every level. So, watch yourself and those around you to avoid conflict.

Note, anything you might have swept under the rug may resurface. It is not to hurt you but to help clean it up accordingly. My personal advice is whatever surfaces for you, please take time to observe and retreat. Do not be impulsive nor reactive towards yourself or anyone.

This magnificent combo of the Solar Eclipse with the New Moon also symbolizes opportunities for growth, the initiation of fresh goals, and the clearing of obstacles that may have hindered your progress. Astrologically, solar eclipses highlight areas of life where transformation and renewal are needed, encouraging us to embrace change and take bold steps towards our aspirations.

I have used this powerful time before to set new intentions and align myself with my true purpose, and the results have been incredibly rewarding.

Let's Summarize what this Solar Eclipse New Moon is guiding us towards.

This period is ideal for resolving conflicts and strengthening bonds with loved ones, as it invites you to confront hidden aspects of your psyche and address any imbalances within yourself. It’s the perfect time to establish intentions for what you wish to bring into your life, particularly in aspects concerning relationships, fairness, and justice. Additionally, it’s a great opportunity to release old patterns and habits that no longer serve you, and to rely on your inner guidance when facing challenges or making decisions.

As promised, here are some helpful practices I've noted down for my convenience as a reminder which you may find useful during this shift in energy.

1. Stay Connected: Reach out to friends, family, or a support group. Sharing your feelings and experiences can provide comfort and perspective.
2. Set Realistic Goals: Break down your tasks into manageable steps. Celebrate small achievements to maintain motivation and a sense of progress.
3. Maintain a Routine: Having a daily routine can provide structure and stability, helping you feel more in control.
4. Self-Care: Prioritize activities that nourish your body and mind, such as exercise, healthy eating, and hobbies you enjoy.
5. Seek Professional Help: If you find it difficult to cope, consider speaking with a therapist, counselor or life coach who can provide guidance and support.
6. Reflect and Journal: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you process emotions and gain clarity.

Here is my simple New Moon Ritual:

I go to my Quiet Space area that I have designated for my moon rituals where I won’t be disturbed.

I personally like to use a white or silver candle to symbolize new beginnings and purity. But you choose what you like best and please be cautious where you place your candles.

I use sage or palo santo to cleanse my space. I just purchased a spray version that I am excited to incorporate it as well.

Since I am not new to this, I already write down my goals or what I wish to manifest in the coming lunar cycle 2 to 3 days earlier. But you can do it on the same day.

I then go into my meditation, focusing on my breath and visualizing my intentions coming to fruition.

I write down on a separate paper anything I feel the need to let go of, and safely burn it, symbolizing release. (Please be careful)

Once done I thank the universe for providing me with guidance and support. Blow out the candle and I keep my intention list in a thankful wooden box I have and revisit during the next moon cycle to reflect on the progress of my intentions.

Please note there are truly no rules to any of this. What you need is your intention. Just like praying, you don’t need a church for God to hear your prayers.

The End …

Dear readers, look at the incredible therapy session our Moon Goddess provides us, complete with a fiery splash of solar eclipse to add some excitement! And the best part? It's all available at the cost of zero, nada, meaning it is absolutely free!

I hope I have encouraged you to look deeper into the astrological study of moon cycles, as they are a magnificent gift from the universe that often goes unappreciated or unnoticed.

Happy Solar Eclipse New Moon!!
