New Moon Ritual: meditation and intention setting (I)

moon ritual

A symbol of renewal, the  New Moon is an ideal time to experience a moment of mindfulness before taking stock of your goals and formulating wishes. This article offers you a moon ritual idea to practice during this phase of the lunar cycle.

The Moon has always been a source of beliefs. The satellite, in constant movement, changes its appearance every day and takes approximately 28 days to complete its cycle. During this period, it evolves in the sky. 

The Moon grows until it shines during the Full Moon, then gradually disappears until the New Moon. Instant when it becomes impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye. This meeting marks the end of a lunar cycle and the beginning of a new lunation. A period of darkness and pause, the New Moon is known as a magical moment, during which it is advisable to set your intentions, write an abundance check or formulate positive affirmations. In other words, to express your wishes for the weeks to come. 

More concretely, it is a time of rest that the energies the Moon ritual offer us. They allow everyone to take stock of the month that has just passed, while starting to plan for the coming days.

New Moon Symbol

In her book Rituals to gently explore the power of your feminine, the author and life coach, Chloé Mason, returns to this phenomenon. “The New Moon is invisible because during this phase it is positioned between the Sun and the Earth. It’s a strong moment, because not being visible, its usual brightness is absent and you are plunged into a much darker night than usual.” She now shares her ritual dedicated to the New Moon to allow everyone to express their wishes as they should.

What are the benefits of the New Moon?

The New Moon is given many virtues. In the calm of this lightless night, we are given the opportunity to take care of ourselves. It is a time to rest and relax. An ideal time to do a major cleaning. If you can take the opportunity to sort through your cupboards, it is also advisable to embark on a little detox (if you feel like it, of course). If you are more into beauty, know that this is the right time to deep cleanse and unclog. To lightly moisturize. In short, let go of everything that can block us to prepare for a new cycle.

The New Moon ritual gives impetus. It's a bit like a second wind. It inspires us and invites us to take action. As a result, you can start sowing the seeds that you want to see germinate during the month, during the lunation. Some then make what we call abundance checks. Small requests or wishes sent to the Moon and which they transcribe on paper. A ritual based on the law of attraction.

Through rituals, the New Moon can contribute to the materialization of dreams. Formulate a wish, think about your goals, put your wishes down on paper... There are a whole bunch of names for the ritual of intention. Please note: writing an abundance check is a little different. See the details of the moon rituals in our next posts.

Finally, we reiterate that this element, although fun to study, should be taken with a grain of salt.  So, if we really want to have answers, we must keep an open mind to the possibility of false interpretation and consult professionals, to synthesize all this data.

Womens challenge: “moon phase” really help find your soulmate (I)

moon phase reveals soulmate

If some people, like a womens challenge, may be tempted by the idea of making the astral chart of their new lover, in order to check their astrological compatibility with the latter, another cosmic data could also be interesting, in order to know if our soul mate has (finally) found a place in our life.

This parameter, less consulted, is the "phase of the moon" and more precisely the one which colors the moment of your birth - and that of your loved one -.

According to some experts, as Mind Body Green points out a womens challenge, comparing them could give us valuable information for the future of the relationship. But what is it really?

WHAT IS THE “MOON PHASE”?

This sudden interest draws its source from yet another TikTok trend which argues that your natal moon phase - or moon phase - has an impact on your personality and - therefore, on your compatibility with others.

But what does our moon phase mean about us? According to the astrologers, the lunar phase is, in fact, very important because it gives a lot of information on the portrait psychological of the person, on their future desires and thus helps us to better understand why we change.

If we understand ourselves better, we can also get along better with other people. But it is all aspects of the moon, the Sun and many other things that matter. This factor alone is not determining, neither for our personality, nor for compatibility.

If interest in astrology has exploded in recent years, more and more precise data are being scrutinized. “While not so long ago the majority of people knew their solar and ascendant signs, we are now talking about lunar signs, Mercury retrogrades or even the influence of certain planets on our lives,” says the specialist. .

However, this is a double-edged observation. “We will learn to know ourselves better, which is positive, but we will also more easily fall into false interpretations and that can influence us, create beliefs, disorient us and why not, make us miss out on our soul mate , because our trajectory will have changed", nuance the experts/

MOON PHASE AND SOULMATE: WHAT LINKS?

In thousands of videos, Internet users superimpose their "moon phase" with that of their other - using a specific calculator. And depending on the alignments, the interpretations are multiple.

"Some people who follow this trend assume that the moon should appear full when you align the two people's moon phases, while others think you should have the same moon phase. In some cases, others think "Moon phase compatibility is more about balancing differences, like yin and yang, than how they look when you align them," explains Well and Good.

But then, how do you know if you are compatible by observing this data? “Honestly, when I do a love consultation, I never look at whether it’s the same phase or not, whether the two complement each other… It’s not at all something that interests us, alone,”

Because, according to the astrologer, there is no need to compare these phases, because when there is compatibility, we feel “a potential astrological connection”. "In the way of being, of speaking together, we understand that there is already an interaction between the planets of one person and another. We are simply in phase, it is not our lunar phases which are".

"Keep in mind that depending on who you ask, you might have different interpretations as to which moon phases are soulmates. If your two moon phases make up a full moon, that doesn't guarantee that you are soulmates After all, given that there are only eight moon phases, that would mean that you are soul mates with every person born under your most compatible moon phase, which would be... one in eight people. also highlights Mind Body Green.

Above all, our expert reminds that while an alignment could contribute to “overall compatibility”, it is not the guarantor of a healthy and lasting relationship.

PHASES OF THE MOON: WHAT MEANING?

That said, knowing our moon phase can always be interesting, to know and understand ourselves better. Especially since the moon is very important in astrology. It’s an element that we take into account, to identify a person. But what defines a phase is not going to be true for all the people who correspond to it, however.

Flower Language Advice - If you can't find your soul mate(II)

Soulmate Butterfly Flower

And then you do the opposite, which is to say, you say: 'What if I stay alone? It's not the right one, it's not the right one,' what's going on? And you will have two very different feelings. You will see that there, your intuition will inform you and give you a path towards what is actually your current aspiration.

When you want to take action, where do you find your soul mate?

Some will tell you no, this is not where I can meet someone in this place or that. That's a poor excuse. There is no good place. If you go into the story of each couple, you will see that it can be completely surprising, unexpected, the place where we meet. Basically, the first secret of the place of long-term romantic meeting is nonsense, that's clear.

The second secret, which is still very important, and it's what we do in adolescence, is to increase the number of people we meet. You shouldn't hesitate to meet a lot of people, go out, meet these statistics. There is not a single shoe on your feet. There are many pairs that may be suitable. So you have to get out. You shouldn't hesitate, even if there are two places that are well suited to it. It's true, the work, because we meet people and we see them act. And then also when you are introduced by friends because often, they have the sense of: 'well, they could suit him or suit him.' So, don’t hesitate to do that too.

Are lonely people lonely because they are too demanding?

It's true that when we're a couple, we often look for similarities first. So, the more you have invested in an area, whether it is an intellectual, emotional, spiritual area, the more you will look for someone who has also invested a lot in this area. So, in a way, the more choices risk becoming restricted.

However, stay open there too. Last tip, you can make a small list. You need to make your list a little bit of the qualities you are looking for in someone. And when you have made this list of required qualities, you will circle those which seem truly essential, indispensable to you. And when you have surrounded these essential, indispensable qualities, you keep in five. 

This will give you a good idea of what you're really looking for, while remaining very fluid. Again, if there are not the 5. It doesn't matter. Try your luck, you risk nothing."

Advice if you can't find your soul mate(I) - Like fast fashion

If you are single, and even more so after 30 years, you have probably asked yourself the question: will I, one day, find a soul mate? Will I finally discover the 'rare pearl'? 

These intimate questions are asked by millions of men and women around the world. But then, how can you find the right shoe for you? We try to answer it

The ambivalence of being single in the long term

You may have noticed people around you who are wonderful and yet are always alone. You sometimes have difficulty understanding why he or she cannot find the right match for them. There is sometimes an ambivalence You will have to know if, in fact, your single friend, in any case who remains alone, is not ambivalent about what he wants Because after a certain time, we realize that. some may ultimately relish the benefits of being alone Even though there are obviously also downsides to not being with someone and upsides to being with someone So this ambivalence must be what you're looking for. soul mate, and thinking that if you can't find it, it's not for you.

Make a list of your current priorities, already to know what they are. It's perhaps not at all, moreover, about finding someone, finding a soul mate, forming a couple. So when you're going to make this list, you're also going to put something important next to it.

Maybe today I actually want to devote myself to my work. Let's say that in the next three years, I will focus on this. Why not ? 

There may be a list like this which will allow us to clarify. It lets you know that ultimately, there is no desire on your part at all to be in a relationship. Maybe you'll meet your soul mate, as they say, but at the same time, you have other priorities.

Finding a partner is like "doing job interviews"

Finding a partner is a bit difficult. Sometime is like we are still in a process where we will try to find if we can do business with someone for life and for things perhaps even more serious than work. But in any case, we are still in this process, so really consider your feelings. And you can even do what's called the time travel test.

This means that you sit down and imagine yourself, for example, with a person you have met. Well, I guess you're letting yourself think about old stories a bit, aren't you? You met someone, you close your eyes and you say to yourself: 'I imagine spending my life with you.' You let yourself soak in that a little bit, and you pay attention to the feelings, to the impression it makes on you.

The April 23 full moon arrives in Scorpio. Surprise episode - Painful secrets are revealed!

The full moon on April 23 will deeply influence relationships of any kind, but especially love bonds, trust and stability of couples. The maximum phase of the full moon will be in the sign of Scorpio, and this water sign will have a strong influence on our emotional balance.

The full moon on April 23 will focus on feelings, the soul, relationships, emotions, intimate needs and especially repressed desires. Many natives will feel that they have gone wrong in many ways and feel the need to start over, which can be good, but they must be careful not to give up something stable for an uncertain future.

April 23 Full Moon and Horoscope All signs will be subtly influenced by the Full Moon in Scorpio which will bring hidden things, fears, anxieties and even painful secrets to the fore. Around April 23, five days before and after the maximum phase of the Full Moon, many natives will be more emotional, receptive, but also more changeable. It is possible that these days they feel overwhelmed, have situations and events in which they will lose control and let themselves be carried away. 

Some will focus on their own failures, analyze what they did wrong, try to find resources to overcome the problems they got themselves into. Others will have unpleasant couple discussions, try to blame the other, and will only exacerbate the emotional problems. Maybe love problems will come back to the fore and they won't be able to find a solution if they let themselves be fooled by appearances. They must take into account deep feelings and not fleeting emotions or passions.

  We must also keep in mind that Mercury is retrograde these days. Due to the retrograde of Mercury, which is in an unfavorable position in the Fire sign of Aries, the Full Moon on April 23 amplifies certain consequences of wrong decisions, failures, memories or regrets. There will be times or situations where many of the natives will feel the need to return to the past or someone close to them will force them to go back on some decisions that turned their lives upside down. And maybe the energy of the Full Moon will help them put an end to unpleasant situations and start something new after a period in which they will put their lives in order.

What does the influence of Scorpio mean?

It is important to remember that Scorpio energy means endings and beginnings, rebirth and regeneration. That's why the Full Moon in Scorpio can be a good time to solve delicate couple problems, put an end to unnecessary jealousies, suspicions and worries and resume the beautiful side of love relationships. 

Scorpio also signifies metamorphosis and transformation. The Full Moon in Scorpio can mean strong energetic support for many natives who need to change from the inside to benefit from big changes on the outside in their lives with those around them. Especially the Water and Earth signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) will be deeply influenced in this regard. Natives who are faced with old problems must first analyze the causes that start from within and then look for solutions. Whoever manages to change for the better, put aside negative thoughts, be more optimistic and have faith in the future, will win.

Due to the influence that Scorpio has, the days preceding or following the April 23 Full Moon will be favorable days for emotional therapies that can heal our soul and mind first and then our body. 

Full Moon in Scorpio and Health 

As I have pointed out, the sign of Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth. In a symbolic sense, in these days dominated by the Full Moon in Scorpio, something will "die" and something will be "reborn", will gain new forces and energies. 

For many natives who have long-standing health problems, the astral conjuncture around the Full Moon can be beneficial. In some cases, old pains will reactivate and a new treatment will be necessary, but it is precisely this treatment that will definitively solve the causes and forever cure nagging diseases, especially skin conditions, but also kidney diseases or gynecological diseases. In other situations, hospitalization or surgery may be necessary. 

Some patients have to make quick and difficult decisions, but they will have by their side medical specialists well-trained enough to get through any ordeal. In particular, some natives of Water signs, namely Cancers, Scorpios and Pisces, may have more painful problems. Challenging days will come for them, but they will find resources and support to make the best treatments and get rid of their health problems for good.
