A NEW YEAR ~ A NEW MOON
2014
New beginnings, fresh starts, optimism,
hope and faith
January 1st features a
New Moon in Capricorn. New Moons are often a good time to plan out what you’re
doing and what you want to achieve for the next month, and Capricorn has a
reputation for being solid and dependable.
One of the main features
of this New Moon is a square between The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto in conjunction
with Capricorn to the Mars in Libra-Uranus in Aries opposition.
In astronomy, new moon
is the first phase of the Moon, when it lies closest to the Sun in the sky as
seen from the Earth. More precisely, it is the instant when the Moon and the
Sun have the same ecliptical longitude. The
Moon is not normally visible at this time except when it is seen in silhouette
during a solar eclipse.
The original meaning of
the phrase new moon, was the first visible crescent of the Moon, after
conjunction with the Sun. The
astronomical new moon, sometimes known as the dark moon to avoid confusion,
occurs by definition at the moment of conjunction in ecliptical longitude with
the Sun, when the Moon is invisible from the Earth. This moment is unique and
does not depend on location, and in certain circumstances it coincides with a
solar eclipse.
The New Moon phase is best
used for personal growth, healing and blessing of new projects or ventures.
It's also a good time to cleanse and consecrate new tools and objects you wish
to use during rituals, ceremonies or an up coming festival.
The new Moon is waxing
and growing. This marks the phase of the moon when the light is not visible
from Earth, because the side of the moon that is being lit by the sun is not
facing us. This should be a time to plan spells that introduce new beginnings
and projects. A new career, house move,
job, relationship, any new venture in life.
Magic is a comprehensive knowledge of all
nature
