The final New Moon of 2015 packs a wallop! As always, Hecate’s Dark Moon brings resolution of old issues, new project beginnings, and protected transformations; with Sagittarius* as her running mate, there will also be strong motivation to action and firey rhetoric but unfortunately, little or no patience and not enough attention to detail.  

What? Me worry? Never! Forewarned is forearmed, let’s take a look:

At our base, we have the certain knowledge that though we are comfortable in the life we have created, it is time to move on to a more fulfilling way living and working – passion projects and love work are calling you, and it is time for you to answer.

As is always the case, some forethought and planning are required – perhaps you have been thinking and planning for quite a while, in fact – to put your best foot forward and avoid becoming one of those tedious statistics (i.e. most small businesses…). The time is ripe for this movement (as previously posted to this page – check previous entries for this week, if you like) and accomplishment is very near to hand; honest effort yields honest results.

Finally, we arrive at the telling reminder: do not allow your relationships to become casualties of the new determination, effort and success – the people closest to us deserve to be a part of the journey as well as the destination – be sure to keep your loved ones within your sphere.

MY BIG TAROT TAKEAWAY: It really is all about taking it to the next level. If you do not know what that means, ask yourself “What more can I be doing?” or “What are other successful  (insert your heart here) doing differently?” There is no shame in seeking a winning formula – you need not re-invent the wheel – do the research, you will find what you need if you look for it.

DARK MOON WITCHY TIP: To capitalize on the gifts of this Moon, you must look  and listen deep within yourself. I suggest drinking chamomile tea to start (relaxation is so very important!), and burning sage incense or a smudge stick (purification on the outside, dispelling unwanted negative energy). Sit comfortably, quietly, and still, opening yourself for personal inventory to let go of anything you find no longer serves you – grudges, disappointments, pain, and the like – making room for new ideas, new plans, new beginnings.  

REMINDER: Energy is what matters! Positive energy yields a positive outcome – negative energy yields the other thing. Your vibe draws your tribe; be the person with whom you want to spend time, and the others will arrive in due course. Always remember to trust your instincts as energy does not (cannot!) lie.
