Moon Cycles, Weekly Astro Update

Hello!

It is an exciting time to be alive, and an exciting time for new beginnings.

Why am I so excited? Well, it’s summer, and despite the restriction we’re feeling with the Delta variant in play, the sun is radiating its light and warmth, vaccinated people are smiling and vacationing, and summer feels a lot more like “summer” than it did in 2020. Also, my wedding is 37 days away!

This is also an exciting time in astrology because the 8:8 Lion’s Gate Leo New Moon is upon us.

This is a New Moon to celebrate! Its “new beginning” energy is amplified and dramatized beyond that of a normal New Moon because of a few subtle and powerful forces:

Letting Go, Moon Cycles

I’ve been in the midst of a major life transition for a few years now, and I have become an avid Dark Moon releaser.

I’m an avid tracker of the entire Moon cycle (learn more about that here), but each month I truly look forward to the end of the cycle because I just love letting go of anything that no longer supports me. It’s not always an easy decision to let go, but it is always a valuable one. Letting go during the Dark Moon helps me to feel lighter, more connected to my natural self, and more confident. Whether I’m letting go of thought patterns, unsupportive habits, material goods, or relationships, I find that the Dark Moon phase of the monthly Moon cycle is truly the best time to let go.
