Preparing for New Super Moon

The New Year On A New “Super” Moon

On the day when most everybody puts their intentions “out there” for the Universe to gather, many people may not have been aware that the First of January was on a New Moon.

We consider the time of the new moon as the time of birthing. Birthing new ideas, intention and seeding new ventures. This is also called the dark of the moon. This time also marks the beginning of a major new cycle in your life. It is not yet a definitive seperation with the past, but it is a time when old familiar patterns lose energy and you instinctively feel an impulse for creating new beginnings. Setting your intentions and releasing them out to the Universe to manifest and express. What better day to day this than on New Year’s Eve when the clock strikes midnight! This particular moon is also considered a Super Moon!

There will be several Super Moons in 2014. January 1st and another one January 30th, These are both new moons while the others will be full moons. The next Full moon will be on the 16th of January.

What is a super moon?

I think EarthSky.org says it best:

“The term supermoon didn’t come from astronomy. We used to call them perigee… “near Earth.” An astrologer, Richard Nolle, is credited with coining the term supermoon. He defines them as: . . . a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth.
