A new beginning…a blank canvas. Ok…three blank canvases.
But we’ll get to that in a second.
It’s time for a second New Moon to close out this month…known as the Black Moon. Did you know that a black moon occurs when there are two new moons within the same month…a rare celestial event that only happens approximately once every 32 months? I didn’t. So I was intrigued and wanted to know more…from an astrology perspective.
So here are some key points that I learned when I researched about our September/October new moon…
- New Moon’s are all about releasing and letting go so the new can emerge…a chance to start again, to move forward into the next phase.
- Traditionally, Black Moon’s are ultra feminine and represent a time of great awakening and clarity.
- During this New Moon, one should pay attention to what comes into one’s life as it will be a major influence in the weeks to come.
- This Black Moon is really going to give you an amazing push in the right direction if you’ve been building new ideas or projects.
- One should celebrate this New Moon by doing something really wonderful for oneself, as well as being ready for new adventures and new beginnings!
So what makes the timing all of this interesting and exciting? For the past week, I’ve been in Arizona preparing my studio for the winter months. Not only will I continue my storied objects project of photographing family and travel treasures…but my little space is so ready for an explosion of creativity and I can’t wait to share more! And it definitely starts with these three blank canvases.
A blank canvas, or three, so exciting! I’ve been checking on this New/Black moon and what’s in store as far as our signs go and it all sounds so swell, that’s the best word for it all and I’m ready to go and looking forward to new adventures and beginnings.
Happy to hear that you’ve had some time to fluff up the studio.
xo
So exciting! And even more so since thinking about creativity keeps me from thinking about this election!! I think this is a wonderful time for many of us…new beginnings! Thanks my sweet…my anam cara. xoxo
Love this post – I want to believe you wrote about the black moon JUST FOR ME!!! And my fingers are crossed that you will be teaching classes as part of your “explosion of creativity” : ) Off to my first art/craft show since I’ve been home…. my new beginning!
I figured this would hit home for many of us!! So I’m happy to hear that it resonated with you as well! I’ll certainly be sharing from a student’s perspective…and I can’t wait to introduce to everyone my inspiration for the explosion! I’m so eager for more blog postings from you!!! Thanks for dropping by…xo.
How exciting. Thank you for sharing this. I feel inspired!
Good!! And you keep inspiring me with your beautiful quilting! Thank YOU!
This came at a perfect time for me. Thanks for sharing. As you know, I’ve lost my mother, sister-in-law, and our precious cat Carmen all in the past 6 months so I am more than ready to “release and let go so the new can emerge”. I am ready to begin again and move forward into the next phase! So excited for your new beginning and can’t wait to see how your creativity will be displayed on your three blank canvases… Love and hugs. XoXo
I thought of you as I was researching and thought of all people you could use a new beginning with all of your heartaches from this past year including your recent one with the loss of Carmen. Love you and can’t wait to hug you in December!!
What’s interesting about this for me, Robin, is not so much about me but about my daughter who is on the cusp of probably the best time of her life…ever. So much to share about that but suffice it to say that it feels like it’s happening to me, that’s how big it is. I haven’t had time to think about ME for this Black Moon…but I will now pay attention.
For you…I can just imagine what is going to show up here in this space sooner or later. I wait with bated breath…..
Oh…so excited to hear that about your daughter! Will be eager to hear all about it! Always my cheerleader…thank you! xo
Sounds so wonderful Robbie. I wish I was visiting with you in AZ for Christmas :))) Love you and miss you. xx
Great to hear from you T! I’m sure you’ll enjoy spending it with family though!! Love you too! xoxo
Thank you for sharing and teaching me something. A new beginning! Yeah I’m ready.
Wonderful!! We just need to be open to it so good to know you’re ready! Thanks always for your visits Bill!
I’ve did a little research on the black moon after I read about it but didn’t come across all of the interesting information you did.
Thanks for the inspirational read.
I am excited for your studio and look forward to your creativity you have in store.
May it flow freely and happily.
New blank canvases are exciting!
Love you and may you drink in all these wonderful black moon positive and creative beginnings.
XOXO
Well I always have to dig into the pagan stuff etc.etc. ha! I find it all so fascinating! Thanks for the warm wishes…I’ll definitely look forward to sharing it with you. Hope you continue to feel better. Always thinking of you! XOXOXO
I love this post, so full of enthusiasm and excitement with a hint of mystique, great ingredients for us readers/viewers! I will have to remember that for my own posts! LOL Before I came here one of my own blog friends said about the auspicious new moon and I was intrigued for it seems some of my own endings and new beginnings are taking shape…
Can’t wait to see what lands on those canvases…hugs x
Thanks Susan! Wonderful to hear that your endings and beginnings are taking shape…always thinking of you… Hugs!!
O I’m so excited for you Robin! Delicious…….I will be right by your side as I take a year off my day job next year to explore my own blank canvas or three!! xx
Oh how wonderful to hear your news!!! I’ll be following along! Thank you!
Oh to Winter in sunny warm Arizona…..happy sigh.
Cheering for you! I hope the afternoon sun hits your studio windows in a way
that brings the sunset inside ( winter sunsets – swoon) and that your heart leaps
over every hurdle as it comes. Much, much joy to you in your bright beginning,
Jennifer
Yes…very fortunate to have so many interesting “worlds!” Thank you so much…always…for your beautiful words!
