January Black Moon

Known as the Black Moon, the January New Moon sets the tone for the entire year. A theme this moon, and throughout the year, is Self Discovery: To know yourself so deeply, that your actions are in complete alignment with your soul. A practical way to start this journey is to set your intentions for your future path.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes and screenshot your personal Black Moon message.

New Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are together in the same degree and sign. This brings your inner and outer world into harmony. The Black Moon is here to assist you in gaining clarity in your life, as we begin the new year. If you have been feeling trapped or settled in your life, work or relationship, this is the time to turn it upside down. No one but you has the power to turn your life around, and the Black Moon is offering you support to reflect upon the changes you want to see in your life and set your intentions for the new year.

What is your vision for 2022? What action steps can you anchor that are practical, attainable and responsible?

Remember there is a difference between intentions, goals and resolutions. The intention is the end result you wish for. The goals are the steps to get there. The resolutions are the disciplines that help you to reach your goals. For example: If your intention is to attract more love in your life, the goal may be a partnership and the resolution would be to cultivate love every day in your own life first. If the intention is to be a writer, the goal may be to write a book, and the resolution is to set aside time every week to write, and so forth.

If you feel stuck in writing your intentions, run into despair, or feel that you are repeating the same-old, same-old themes, try to turn the question around. Instead of asking, what you want from the new year, ask what the new year wants from you. Take out a blank paper, ask the question and wait for the answer. This is an extremely powerful practice, which can be intimidating, because we might get a different answer than we wished for or expected. Nonetheless, the guidance received can lead you to your best life in the quickest way possible. Most often when we feel stuck, it is when we are becoming our own obstacles in life, because we force through our own will or push too hard. In these times, it is important to let go and be open to new ways, even if it means taking a different path. This teaches us to trust life and finding a higher way, where we let spirit lead.

New Moon blessings to all,
