NEW YEAR - NEW MOON 2014

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
