New Moon: Tips and Tricks
Tonight there is a new moon happening in Aquarius today and, if you are like me and work with the magic of the moon, then you may already know that it's a wonderful time to work on meditation, work with crystals, and manifestation. However, did you know about the 'void of course' moon?
The void of course moon takes place when the moon is transitioning houses in the zodiac chart and doesn't have an exact aspect made with the next house in the zodiac. For example, the moon is moving from Aquarius to Pisces, so in that time that the moon is working through the houses, it is considered void of course. The VOC moon "bears no fruit" and therefore should be avoided when working on new moon wishes. Before you get your crystals and new moon wishes going - check where the moon is first!
My favorite practices to work on during this time is to first cleanse and sage myself and the house. Burn a strand or a bundle of sage and waft the cleansing smoke over the body and slowly work your way with the sage smoke around the house. You can use your hand or a feather to waft the smoke while envisioning cleaning and clearing. This will set the stage for a final release of the energy under the waning moon before working with the new moon and your new moon intentions.
