Once, or sometimes twice, each month, the Moon disappears from view and begins her cycle again. The cosmos keeps turning around us, no matter what may be unfolding in our lives... offering a natural moment to pause, reflect and begin anew.
The New Moon is often associated with new beginnings. A fresh cycle. A clean slate. A moment to consider what is growing in our 'garden' and what may need 'weeding' as well as 'seeding'.
So each month, before we plant new seeds... we prepare the soil.
