A new week and time for another round of what is new and good! Well today is a new moon and we have a solar eclipse (although it isn’t visible in these parts). I personally enjoy a new moon more than a full moon. The night is extra dark, you can see more stars and I feel like I always sleep really well. New moons are a good time to set intentions, start new projects, pick up new habits. Every month on the new moon I spend some time cleaning the house and my car. Once everything just the way I like it I smudge the house with some Sage, verifier, sweet grass or Palo santo to clear the energy. Then I spend some time thinking about what is ahead. The ways I want to grow in the coming weeks, the things and opportunity I want to see show up in my life and I imagine what it will feel like when they do. I usually journal all of this and I leave my door open while I do - to symbolically invite them in. May seem superstitious or woo-y but I’m like that. I feel it makes life more fun. This new moon is in Sagittarius which is my sign. I am feeling pretty open to the possibilities right now. Do you pay attention to the cycles of the moon?
