The
Eyes of Heaven ~ Cycles of the New Moon
by Eliza Bassett
The astrological year begins with the Spring Equinox, when the Sun
moves into Aries. The Aries New Moon is the first new moon of this
year .
New Moons have been something our ancestors have always known about
and which helped them keep track of the cycles of the year. Some
moons are named by tribes to help them in their work with plants
and animals. We are familiar with the name Harvest Moon. This is
for the late fall full moon, which brings extra light at that time
of the year, when farmers are working diligently to bring in the
last output from their fields to prepare for the winter. Sun Bear,
in his book The Medicine Wheel Earth Astrology, calls this time
the Budding Trees Moon, with the animal symbol of the Red Hawk as
the totem.
Every new moon, you have the opportunity to begin a new cycle in
your life. As the sun moves through the different elements of the
signs, each new moon will have a greater impact in one of these
areas in your life: spiritual, physical, mental, or emotional. A
few days before, it is the time for you to think of what youd like
to manifest in your life over the next 28 days. Some of you
probably do this process instinctually.
This New Moon is in Fire, which is a Spiritual moon. This is a time
for all of us to inspire ourselves to our highest ideals, allowing
our creativity to be released with energy. A time for holding faith
and being enterprising are other strengths of a Fire Moon. Cautions
are not to be too impulsive, rash, or assertive. You may say
prayers, meditate or just be quiet and think of the things youd
like to create for this month ahead.
