With the combination of the solar eclipse (March 8th/9th 2016) and the new moon in Pisces (March 8th) now is the time to turn the page and start a new chapter. This is a time for new beginnings, the eclipse is your reset button and the new moon is your fresh canvas.
Try cleansing your aura in a bath once a week. Through out our busy lives we can’t help but pick up bits of negative energy, and unless you take the time to sever those ties you can become weighed down by it. Baths are a great way to cleanse you aura since you don’t need a lot of extra supplies, water is a natural spiritual cleanser.
Start by running your favorite relaxing bathwater. This could mean adding bubble bath, bath bombs, flowers, herbs, or essential oils, whatever makes you feel the most grounded and relaxed. Helpful Essential Oils: Lavender- promotes peace and relaxation Myrrh- protection from evil Rosemary- promotes healing Vanilla- promote happiness Cedar- protection from misery and misfortune
Next light some candles. (Not necessary, but I always find them comforting myself) Helpful Candle Colors: Black- neutralize negative energy Light Blue- promote peace and tranquility White- protection Dark Green- counteract feelings of jealousy in yourself and from others
Now this last step is really the most important. You are relaxing in your bath. Starting at your toes and working your way up muscle by muscle consciously relax each and every part of your body. Let your mind drift. Close your eyes. Let a white light fill your mind. Let the white light fill your body. Hold it there. This is your inner fire, purging any traces of negative energy that is piggy backing on your aura. Then slowly let it fade. Settle into yourself. Take a few controlled deep breathes. When you are ready sit up, and drain your water. It is very important to begin draining the water before you step out of the tub in order to release all the gunk you just washed away. Then pat yourself dry, slap on your favorite lotion and head back out into the world feeling light and refreshed.
Here is a great online tool for keeping track of your chakra alignment. My biggest piece of advice is to try and look at yourself objectively when you answer the questions and don’t overthink your answers. Listen to your inner voice.
Dark Moon: This moon phase is a good time for curses, hexes, jinxes, etc. It’s also a good time for focusing on what you want to manifest in the next couple of weeks and a powerful time to do prophetic workings.
Waxing Moon: Bring things you want toward you. You could do spells involving growth, enchantment, money, success, etc. A good time to start on projects.
Full Moon: A good time for charging crystals, tools, yourself, water, etc. Some people think the energy during the full moon is more powerful than in any other moon phase. The intentions you set in the dark moon should be manifesting themselves now. You could do workings that involve divination, legal matters, protection, heightening your psychic abilities, connecting with gods/spirits, creativity, and knowledge.
Waning Moon: A good time for letting go of people/things and doing banishment workings, You could do spells to let go of addictions, negative energy, and bad habits. It’s also a good time for cleansing and house cleaning.
Every month has a full Moon. Ancient people assigned different names for the Moons of each month. Different cultures gave the Moon different titles to express what the Moon meant to them in the given month. Some of the Moon names make common sense, while other may make no sense at all unless you know the logic behind it.

New Moon: Sometimes called the crescent Moon, when you can see the very first sliver of light in the sky. This phase promotes new beginnings, new endeavors, and new relationships. It is a time for making positive changes, looking for fresh career opportunities and planting seeds of ideas that will be harvested later.
Waxing:This is when the moon appears to be getting larger, therefore it makes sense to use this time to focus on increasing things of your own- your knowledge, bank accounts, relationships. It’s a time to think about pregnancy, to increase communications of all types, whether for business or pleasure. Deal with legal matters if you want financial gain. This phase promotes healing.
Full Moon: This is a time of fulfillment, activity, increased psychic ability, for perfecting ideas, “getting your act together”, celebrations or renewing commitments to people or projects. The best time for spells of any kind.
Waning:The waning Moon is a time of decrease, release, letting go and completion. An excellent time to begin dieting, breaking bad habits, breaking off relationships, or dealing with legal matters.
Dark Moon: The two or three days when the Moon is not visible in the sky at all. The dark Moon and new Moon are often considered the same phase. On an average calendar the dark Moon is usually indicated by a black spot. However, the dark Moon occurs on the day it is marked as well as one day before and one day after. This is a good time for discarding things in your life that you do not want, contemplating what you have already accomplished, and what you want to accomplish in the future. An excellent time to find time for yourself, or if you’re so inclined, an ideal time for seclusion.
