aries starts us from the beginning, being the first sign of the astrological new year!  a perfect time for a new moon list.  write a list of 10 things you’d like to seed and begin growing, place the list somewhere special, and check in with it on the next new moon to see how your month went.  a vernal equinox/new moon list…yes!  the time for new growth is ripe!

“Usually the Aries new moon is the perfect time to implement plans and launch new projects, and we can do that … as long as we have several backup options already in place. As long as we don’t get ahead of ourselves, we can benefit from the influx of new ideas and enthusiasm generated by this New Moon. Use the time wisely and abandon notions of instant gratification, because this is a great time for planting seeds for long term goals. It’s all about practicing patience until you can’t STAND it anymore!”

“during this full moon, the call is to be responsive to your feelings…don’t ignore how you feel, but don’t let yourself get carried away by those feelings either.  giving yourself the time to look within will help you balance all the responsibilities of your life.” (rhea wolf)

one of our favorite ways to look within is, of course, tarot. these are our cards, representing where we’ve been (2011) and what we’re moving towards (2012). abundance, groundedness, acceptance…let it be so!

full mooooooooooon!  did you see it?!  

plus a little wisdom from our friend, rhea wolf:

at this time of year, we are pulled in two directions: one says ‘slow down and contemplate’ while the other says ‘so many parties/gifts/obligations, so little time.’  the gemini full moon can help us keep a sense of playfulness alive during a time that is often stressful and frenzied.

so here’s to being playful, not stressed!  and to the gorgeous and golden moon herself…

happy new moon in libra!

sometimes you have to leave a place to remember what you love about it…we find this to be extra true about nyc, and even more so during autumn, when we crave crisp air & color-dappled trees!  so this new moon we encourage y’all to get out of new york so you can get back into your life, refreshed, when you return…whether you head to a nearby city (like philly where you can stumble on gems like the magic garden pictured above!) or out into some nearby wilds (a spring-fed lake in the catskills, perhaps!) or wherever your heart leads you!

select a card from your favorite tarot deck (we <3 the collective tarot) on the new moon to gain insight for the coming month.  today’s new moon is in virgo…to learn more about what this means, see what our favorite astrologer, rhea wolf, has to say at turning wheel astrology.

here’s what we drew today…

smalls got 2 of bones: tromping through tall grass, the magical nature of change…break the wishbone and release a wish into the world; the ancient ancestor snake protects you.

talls picked artist of bottles…infinitely tenderhearted, compassionate vision of love & intuitive grace lays a downy nest for you.  take inspiration.  this special energy can be contagious.

clear intentions pave the way!
