There are many ways that we can deeply connect with ourselves. One of them is to connect with our Moon. The Moon change sign approximately every 2.5 days. and it will conjoin the Sun every two weeks at the New Moon signifies an opportunity for new beginning, planting new seeds and taking action, at the Full Moon when the Sun and the Moon is at180 degrees apart from each other, we can review the relationship between ourselves and others, finding balance, to release what is holding back and what no longer work so we can be liberated, and light. It also a time of harvesting on seeds that we have planted at the new moon.

By following the New Moon and Full Moon every month, I have noticed the little change that lead to another in my life. I felt more grounded by coming back and reconnect deeply with the moon every two weeks during new moon and full moon by journaling the thoughts, set intention on the new moon day and at the full moon while the moon is at it peaks, its time to review the areas of life that the Full Moon illuminating, what are the seeds that being planted during the new moon is harvesting, what works, what doesn’t? It is time to let go, celebrate, make a gratitude list, create a forgiveness ceremony, writing down list of people and things that you want to forgive. By doing this, it liberating us in some way, and we feel free.

At the New Moon:

We can observe where the New Moon occurs in our chart. We can plant new seed in the area of life where the New Moon occurs and takes action, insights and decisions occurring at the New Moon are likely to have a significant influence upon behaviours and actions occurring at the subsequent New Moon. For example; reflecting on the last New Moon in Scorpio, have you create an action list or have you taking action on the intention that you have set? It helps us to reflect our key issues in regard to the planets and houses aspected at this time, at the new moon or full moon by referring to the sign they are in.

For example: If new moon is in Sagittarius, Sagittarius is a moving fire sign! We can embrace its quality - an outward moving, like to engage with the outer world, animated by the spark of life. Doing, a ‘yang’ in its polarities, with mutable mode (adaptable and flexible) enthusiastic in exploring new horizons, learning about foreign cultures, sharing wisdom, and a big vision. We can then also refer the degree where the New Moon occurs. For example: the coming New Moon in Sagittarius occurs at 1 degree and 31’, observe if there is any planet that are around two degrees away from the new moon. or is the New Moon in conjunction with an angle or node? We might prepare to gain maximum benefit from the lunation by New Moon by contemplating the planet and the sign and the house which the conjunction occurs in our charts:

For example when the New Moon conjunct with
