Current Moon Phase


NEW MOON MAGICK

TIMING:
The moon rises at dawn and sets at sunset.
For the best use of this energy, magick should be performed between dawn and sunset.

However, to get the most punch for your magick, choose the correct timing.
Also check the planetary hours to give added power to the working.

CONJURING:
New Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to 3 1/2 days after.
Naturally, the closer you are to the new moon, the better your chances of success.

If it does not, repeat the working. Things to work for include: Beauty, Health,
Self-Improvement, Farms and Gardens, Job Hunting, Love and Romance, Networking.

MEDITATIONS:
Work on bringing abundance into your life.

LUNAR ECLIPSES
There are two types of lunar eclipse:

1. Partial Eclipse

2. Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon

You will need a Planetary Guide to check dates and times
during the year when these two occur.
Choose long term goals you wish to work on well ahead of these events.
Eclipses represent the perfect union of sun and moon,
therefore practically any type of magick is acceptable.

===========================================

MOON VOID OF COURSE

The rule of thumb is to avoid doing anything important
while the moon is void of course.
If what you have done during this period works, consider yourself lucky.

Before the moon enters a new sign (Leo, Virgo, Cancer, etc.), there is a sort of dead space.
The best way to explain this is through Wiccan terms.
The moon is between the worlds, in a time that is not a time, in a space that is not a space --
it is in a celestial void where neither positive or negative energies behave as they normally do.
To make this circumstance more irritating, it never lasts the same length of time.
For example it could last only ten minutes, or as much as a day and a half.
It isn't a phenomenon you can set your watch by, so you need to check either a
planetary datebook or pocket astrologer.

The effects of the void moon vary.
Some people manifest scattered energy, or that "I don't feel like myself today" position.
Decisions have a habit of bordering on the illogical.
Individuals under psychological counseling or drug therapy swing toward the irrational.
Of course, those who need counseling and refuse to get it move toward more violent behaviors.
The general rule during this time revolves around stuff you shouldn't do:

Don't do magick
Don't make major decisions
Don't make major purchases
Don't begin or complete any magickal operations
Don't make any major repairs

The void of course moon is a good time for relaxation and more spiritual pursuits,
such as studying or taking a walk in the woods.
It is like a cosmic time-out and can be very advantageous if used properly.
