What Is A New Moon?

If you need a recap of what a New Moon is, click here! 🌑

Astronomically speaking, a New Moon is the period of time when the moon is at 0% illumination. The Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth. This causes Earth’s shadow to fully cover the Moon leaving the night sky in darkness.

There are several different beliefs regarding the New Moon and witchcraft. Some witches believe this is the time to start new projects. Others believe it is a time of rest and recovery where no magic should be done.

What does a new moon symbolize? This is a time of introspection, self-analysis and reflection. An opportunity for a fresh start and a New You. - New Moon Rituals (Spells8)

The Sign Of Sagittarius :sagittarius:

Represented by the archer, Sagittarius is all about adventure and exploration. You would be hard-pressed to find a Sagittarius who likes to stay in one place for too long. The exploration that drives a Sagittarius is rooted in a passion and thirst for knowledge. They value their freedom and prefer to surround themselves with positive energy and people, leaving negativity behind because it doesn’t suit them. Sagittarius also loves to share what they know with others, bringing knowledge to the world in many different ways. Sometimes, though, the quick nature of a Sagittarius can make them appear aloof and hard to pin down, both as a friend and a romantic partner.

Activities For The Sagittarius New Moon :tada:

Make a Vision Board

One of the easiest forms of magic, especially for a New Moon, is a vision board! Create it digitally or physically – gather images of your intentions for the coming months and place the board somewhere for you to see on a regular basis. Make it extra magical by incorporating color magic, sigils, and petitions! We usually have a yearly activity here in the coven where we create and share vision boards – keep an eye on the main page for that!

Connect with Adventure

If the weather permits, connect with the natural world around you and get outside!

Ever since this past spring, I have been on a simplification trail. This leaves lots of space for inspiration and curiosity to kick in. I’ve removed so much from my life that I needed to go through everything to see what I have left.

If I were to leave, my movers would have an easier time than they did when I was coming into this apartment- not that I’m going to do so. I’m in the middle of a lease, so not an option. However I find it interesting to note.

Next project: organizing digital items saved over the years.

I have been noticing a lot of negativity in my ancestry, lately. These things used to be exciting, before I understood the effects they are having on me. I choose to remove as much historical media as possible and focus on the fantasy of my youth so I can rebuild.

Some may accuse me of toxic positivity. I acknowledge that negativity exists in this world, but I don’t have to wallow in it. I’m basically telling such people that I can’t handle it anymore. This is part of my disability. If I don’t get something positive into me, I will have to shut down certain sources (not Spells8).

Oohhh I feel this :joy: I used to use Pinterest to collect all kinds of random things that I had planned on saving for use later. It just an unmanageable collection and I ended up getting rid of everything :laughing: Good luck with your digital organization!

This isn’t toxic positivity at all :hugs: you’re acknowledging the negativity in your life and doing what you can to move away from it rather than trying to cover it up with positive things. I’m proud of you - that can be really difficult! :heart:

haha he probably was! :joy:
