This New Moon in Aquarius marks a time of new beginnings. Not only is it a lunar eclipse but it is 3 days before Saturn and Neptune make their conjunction at 0 degrees of Aries. Eclipses occur approximately every 6 months and are said to be times of soul realignment, often when things are released from your life (friends, jobs, relationships, habits) and new experiences come in. This year, the new moon eclipse happens 3 days before the exact meeting of Saturn and Neptune at the very beginning of the zodiac, marking a time of new beginnings in the way we structure (Saturn) our very reality (Neptune).

To mark this we will be holding a gathering with the lovely Lou Richards performing a gong and sound bath before I lead you through an opportunity to set an intention for the coming cycles. In setting an intention, I recommend making it an energetic one… not ‘I intend to lose weight’, but feeling into and visualising how you wish to feel for the coming cycles. E.g. ‘I’m attuning deeply to my core authentic self,’ ‘I’m holding my boundaries lovingly but firmly’ or ‘I am aligned to a sense of purpose’.

We will spend time visualising and discussing our intentions for the coming cycles. This moment begins a number of cycles - 1. the lunar cycle (lasting 29 days). 2. the eclipse cycle (lasting approximately 6 months) 3. The Saturn/Neptune cycle (lasting 38 years).

I encourage you to start to feel into what your intention will be as we move towards the new moon and allow it to unfold and arrive within you - listening to your heart and soul rather than intellectually deciding. If you work with your birth chart, you might like to see where the final degrees of Aquarius falls within it and set your intentions around this life area.

The event will be held at Avia Willment’s retreat room, near Morrison’s in St Peters. Meet at Morrisons at 6.50 pm to be guided to the space.
