It’s easy to lose sight of the Stillness and Peace within us in this man made society that is designed to constantly grab our attention away from the Present moment. The New, Dark Moon phase is a great time for Meditation and Clarity, for more easily recognising the Stillness within and exploring what is us and what is not.
It is in the Darkness, the void, that we find our guiding Light. Here we mine for the the illuminating pearls of Wisdom that guide us to live in Integrity. With radical Honesty, the clam like grip with which we try to control our perceived “reality”, pries our eyes open, revealing the Wisdom needed to clearly see what is not working in our lives, what needs to be physically and emotionally released, what needs to be nurtured and carried forward. As we get comfy in the Dark, our Soul Star shines more brightly.
The Dark is not evil and the Light is not good. The Dark can be ‘Shunyata”, emptiness as the purity of Prajna Paramita, the perfection of Wisdom. The Light can casts shadows. To be in integrity we must be willing to see, own, face and dis-create the unconscious shadows/patterns that hide in our dark, shroud our Light, obscure our Wisdom, steal away our energy and innate Power. This is the invitation of this Dark/New Moon in Aquarius, for when the Full Moon comes around, her Light will surely reveal that which is hidden, as unresolved emotions rise to the surface to be released.
We will journey to meet our Dark Goddess ally. Kali, Lilith, Hekate, The Morrigan, are all powerful archetypes that can help us face any fears of the Dark, fears of our own Power. They can help us to navigate the more difficult to feel emotions, you know those ones you’d rather not have! As we embrace our shadow instead of denying it, we unlock vast amounts of energy and Clarity. In time it becomes easier to set healthy boundaries, to know what is truly right for us and feel confident to speak our Truth.
The day will include:

Let us begin 2023 with a clean slate, taking more time to set our intentions and resolutions (especially as Mercury is retrograde at New Year!) knowing that we need not fear the Dark, that we are not alone, as we trust that Wisdom is within us, guiding us if only we will learn how to listen.
2023 is a 7 year (numerology). 7 brings opportunities to experience Trust. Before we can Trust others we must first learn to know and Trust ourSelves. It’s a good year for exploring our talents, for learning new things, for using our creative skills, hobbies, and special gifts to help others. This New Moon in Aquarius will support us in seeing ourSelves clearly and how our unique Presence and creativity can add value to our cOMmUNITY.
Moving with Stillness is to live from a place of deep listening, Joyfully dancing the song of your Heart into Being.
