Beloved Ones, hello. Each week I sit down it feels like lifetimes have passed since last writing to you. I hope you are faring well out there, genuinely. Wrapped inside this little care package is a ritual + tarot spread to support your New Moon renewal.
This New Moon is curious; the luminaries will converge at 21* of Cancer, not exactly aspecting anyone else. Mercury Rx will have just passed over the Sun, so we revel in the afterglow of the Cazimi with this Lunation. It feels like a breath, the space between inhale + exhale. An opportunity to clear something.
This week also brings the opening aspects of Barbault’s Basket, the configuration of outer planets that hasn’t happened for hundreds of years. The planets involved are all in Air + Fire signs, so the theme of ignition continues to amplify. What does wind do to fire? It fuels the flame.
The French Astrologer (André Barbault) who identified this configuration predicted that it will be the impetus for massive international change. So we can only hope; our work is in becoming the active participant in this process.
I have felt more so recently, that in order to become such an agent of change myself, I must do the work of releasing old models about myself and the world that actually serve as barriers to true participation. The old stories, the wrought patterns, all that inhibits my ability to actually respond to The Call. I feel this Cancer New Moon is a moment to do exactly this; clear the path from within.
Below is a New Moon Ritual + Tarot Spread for this reason. Sending you love, my friends ~ may you be gentle with yourselves as the world turns over. <3
