Dark Moon

In the dark of your heart lives new breath waiting for you to release its ghost.

new beginnings, letting go

In the mystical world, the dark moon is a time of setting intentions and welcoming new beginnings. It is the beginning of the moon cycle and represents a chance to start afresh, with new and renewed energy. The dark moon is like the last stretch of darkness before the rise of the dawn or, in this case, the moon. It represents hope, better days to come and an easier road to travel.

This period supports visualizing and is a great time to expand your mind. Use this time to dream without thinking about the limitations of life. What do you want to create in your life? What goals do you want to manifest? Think big - the bigger, the better. Think as if you had a magic wand that would grant you your every wish no matter the cost or energy required.

If you are holding the Dark Moon card know that there is always a chance to start again. Your situation may seem like the end of the road but it is not, especially for those who know the power of spirit. You must have hope even when things seem too hard to bear. There is always a new moon just a few weeks away and there will always be a new opportunity waiting for you as well. It may not come as quickly as you like but hope is a powerful force and will set things in motion for you.

the flip side to the dark moon is giving yourself time to rest so that you can be prepared for your next cycle in life. Often that means letting go and releasing things that have no place in your life's new era. Take this time to focus on creating something new but do not act on it just yet. Allow yourself to focus on new ideas and be sure to let your imagination run wild. The best way to get over something old is to get excited about something new.
