First New Moon of 2023
Updates and prepping for the first Sabbat on the Wheel of the Year: Imbolc
Hey Ya’ll. Welcome to a collection of witchy thoughts, recommendations, playlists and poems all by me for you. Always free to your inbox. Follow me on all socials @catwithdacards if you wish.
Happy New Year! I hibernated throughout Capricorn season, turned 30 and wore myself out with holiday gigs and celebrations. I’m excited for the shift Aquarius season brings as it is my Venus placement and my own attention and needs have been a bit neglected lately.
Tonight is the first new moon of the year! It’s a great one with Mars and Mercury both exiting retrograde last week. We are still in the shadow period of both exits however which has been messier for some than the actual retrograde. Keep that obsidian on you.
Focus on longevity, goal setting, manifestation work is greatly encouraged if you have the energy.
When drawing for myself last night, my Practice You deck asked: “Where can you make steadiness your primary priority?”
ouch.
This is the dreariest time of year, life has become somewhat settled, but to me settled while being a blessing is also monotonous. Entering my 30s the world feels like a clean slate. But for what??? Where do I want to go??? What do I want to do that brings me inspiration and pleasure?
I honestly don’t fucking know. I guess we will all figure it out together.
In other news, my partner gifted me a BEAUTIFUL blue ocean D natural singing bowl! Be expecting more lives on my Insta.
On my Winno, we have been using a focus word from my Serenity Oracle to meditate on and practice throughout the week. I’m enjoying it!
Week 1 of Jan was “Play”
Do you make time for play? How was your inner child denied play and innocent pleasures? How do you wish to make play a priority in your life?
Week 2 Listen: Learn by listening
Learn by doing Learn by trying something new
Learn by studying something you have put off
Week 3 is currently “Gratitude.” With the low mood I’ve had all week, this has been a helpful grounding practice.
Imbolc is on Feb 2nd!
The Feast of St. Brighid who is the goddess of Fertility, Inspiration, Animal Husbandry, and eternal fire. I will be sharing more about Brighid and practices you can do on my Winno and Insta this week!
