New Moon in Aquarius January
24
Naming a dream or hope is the first step in igniting the spark of this Aquarius New Moon. It can be one word or even an image; something that speaks to the essence of that dream or the outcome of its fruition. Giving language to this idea helps it grow and solidify. Consider
using whatever medium is most comfortable for you, be that writing, drawing, singing, or dancing, to make an anthem for this dream. Give it its own name, character, movement, and shape. What does this dream need to grow? What does it need to flourish? Who around you can help shape it? What beauty will it bring to your community? What pleasure will it bring you to nourish it?
As you take time thinking about the cultivation and tending process, also acknowledge what overgrowth would crowd this dream from igniting? What thought patterns would snuff out this new spark or rob it of its brightness? Notice patterns in your day to day that could be reworked into fertile ground for this new beginning, and compost the bits that no longer serve you. Consider writing what you are letting go of inorder to devote your attention to this new spark on some pieces of paper and
burying them. Honoring the patterns you have outgrown and acknowledging how they served you, allows for a gentle respect as you cultivate a new dream, and with it a new future. The New Moon is a perfect time to let go of old patters and invite a new shining SPARK in!

Candle Magic
From this month's CSW kit, a tool to help support your Magic this New Moon: a ritual candle. Connecting with the fire element, be that in
candle, Sun, or your own inner flame (passion, sex, creativity, drive), is a ritual the earth and humanity has done since its first breath. It has the power to dissolve, renew, transform, and destroy. It guides us through the unknown and sparks our passions from below, illuminating our inner-landscape and warming our homes. Candle rituals can be as simple or involved as you wish; guided by your intuition and charged by your will and are a powerful way to call in light during a dark moon's
invitation ritual.
This month, we begin with a magical approach to GOALS & STRUCTURE.
You have the knowledge you need to both vision the big picture and root down into the earth. How do you use your own inner guiding light this year? How do you tend your light? As you ask yourself these questions, let these tools support the process.
The Magic Hour candle Vitality is our go-to this month. This charged ritual candle invites an expansion of your life force and encourages us to build our courage and strength. As a physical representation of this month’s vision, use this offering as a way to meditate on your vision. Working with this intention candle
throughout the month can be the unifying string to your repeated reflections. At the bottom of this magical tool is a gemstone. Consider using this as a talisman through the next couple months to remember what you are cultivating and what you want to give your attention. Set a word or phrase that you will repeat every time this catches your eye. Let it remind you of what you already know.
Tiger's Eye Gem Ally
Tiger’s Eye is a stone that can help feeling centered even through the chaos. Associated with the solar plexus chakra which calls to personal power, will, and direction, Tiger's eye grounds and cleanses as balance is found. This stone can also help us feel strong in our boundaries, which is so helpful when encouraging new energy or change. It can help to listen to our body's and heart’s no & yes as we navigate new inner territories and
terrains. Feeling slightly untethered while welcoming in new abundance is understandable, but through this we can also grow our ability in listening to our intuition and circling back to the questions of "Does this bring me pleasure? Does this support me?". Having a talisman such as a gem, plant, or other teacher to bring that intention back can be powerful. Consider putting this close to you in your office, upon your altar, or alongside you during a bathing ritual to commune with its brave and
steady energies.

A New Moon bath for Visioning
The Moon is in Aquarius, babe so get as weird as you'd like with this ritual!
Start your bath with a 3 card Tarot/ Divination pull while you wait for the tub to fill.
Card 1: Visions
Card 2: Goals
Card 3: Actions
Journal anything that may come up for you after this reading. What are you calling in right now? How are you using this Visionary energy (the sun is also in Aquarius) to set intentions? Once you have a clear Intention/ Vision in mind write it out on a piece of paper. Fold the intention up and set a blue candle (to facilitate flow and communication) on top of it. Stand over your bath water and speak your intention into it, adding any Lucious elements
you may have- salt, coconut milk, a scented oil to add an element of Pleasure into the mix.
Think about the Goals and Actions you need to take according to your reading and your intuition while you soak in the bath. Journal about them, or simply relax into your spelled bath water.
After you are done bathing, drain the tub letting all attachment to the Vision go. Work your Goals and Actions over the next two weeks, but know that outcomes may transpire differently then you expected so keep that vision flexible, babe.
