New Moon June to New Moon July 2022

     Are you wondering what the planets are up to these days? Starting with today’s New Moon, here’s a few details (and a little ceremony or two) to help you navigate the lunar cycle. Personally, it’s been an exceptionally rough go of things for me since the beginning of May, and I don’t know how I would handle everything without help from the planets, meditation, yoga,  and energy practices. I’m always happy to answer your questions or set up and energy guidance or reiki appointment!  Email me at [email protected].
Happy New Moon in Cancer!  ~ Eva

6-28-2022 – New Moon in Cancer (at 10:52 pm EDT) – expect emotions to bubble up.
     The moon is at home in Cancer, supporting meditation. Intuitive and energy work, visioning and vision boarding, or even journaling. Create a personal ritual by getting a cup of tea, lighting a candle, and settling in for some private time to set your intentions and goals for the coming lunar cycle!
     Notice if you feel a pull toward your ancestors, or, get any messages from them. New Moon is a powerful time for this connection and to communicate. If you have an ancestor altar, set aside some time to sit with them, light a candle or incense. If not, perhaps while you create your ritual for intentions setting, you might think about some memories of ancestors or ask them for creative ideas and support or help.  
                Neptune stations retrograde in Pisces today (until 12-3-2022). The next 5 (ish) months offers the opportunity to review your dreams – Neptune rules dreams, imagination, and ideas. In your quiet/ritual time, align with your intuition. Do your dreams still resonate, or have they changed? Are you on autopilot, moving along with ideas that no longer feed your soul? Buoy up your creative tool basket. What are you called to create over the next few months? What are you called to complete? Experiment.

7-6-2022 – First Quarter Moon (Half Moon Waxing) in Libra – Time to see how your intentions are growing. Have they stalled and need more attention? You may find yourself in the position to make some decisions today – balance between mind and heart is vital to have the most impact (the moon is in Libra after all).

7-13-2022 – Full Moon in Capricorn (at 3:37 pm EDT) Supermoon – Time to look at your intentions and plans for this lunar cycle. Are they on track? What’s shifted? What’s left to do? Create a Full Moon Release ceremony to help you let goof what’s not serving or aiding your intention and to remove blocks.
                Find a quiet space and time. Get a candle, matches, and a fireproof bowl (or do this at a fire pit if you have one).  Make yourself comfortable and take a few deep breaths. Feel into your heart and on a small piece of paper, write down anything you feel is blocking you.  You can create as many of these slips of paper as you would like.  When you are done, light each paper on fire and drop it into the bowl saying something like “as this paper burns, I release all blocks to my dreams and intentions”. Make it your words. Do this for each item. When everything has burned out, take a few deep breaths and thank the fire element for helping you.

7-19-2022 – Chiron stations retrograde in Aries (until 12-23-2022) – Chiron is the “wounded healer”, and so, has an impact on everyone who has ever been wounded. In other words, all of us. This retrograde will have us healing our relationship with the fire (Aries energy) aspects of ourselves. Do you have fear of taking actions? Have you acted when you shouldn’t have, or not acted when you should have? During this retrograde period, you may be given opportunities to show your courage. Be compassionate with yourself, you may not always feel like you met the task. Create a bedtime ritual (a few minutes) of reviewing your day and give yourself credit for the things you accomplished, especially if they pushed some buttons or you had to move through fear to complete them.

7-20-2022 – Last Quarter Moon (Half Moon Waning) in Aries – we’re still in that fiery energy. Aries will help you through the home stretch of getting your intention for the lunar cycle completed, or at least to the point where you feel good taking a pause at the next new moon. Let Aries fire give you a little burst of energy today!

7-22-2022 – Sun enters Leo – The solar cycles are our outer landscape (while the lunar cycles are our inner landscape). Leo season brings confidence, creativity. You may feel fun, adventurous, and somewhat lighthearted during this period, even if Leo is not your sun sign.

7-28-2022 – New Moon in Leo (at 1:55 pm EDT). We’ll dive deeper into Leo New Moon next time, but be prepared, this New Moon is going to have you looking at leadership in some way!
