I currently dislike the New Moon, in fact every New Moon every month. It has only occurred to me that the New Moon 2 days either side, brings a cranky arse negative woman to my house and swaps her for me. I usually try to be easy going, positive to most things and as energetic as I can be. BUT then steps forward New Moon, psycho enters and uneasy emotions roll on. It doesn’t help if other things occur too that are out of my control too, sometimes they feed the negativity that surrounds me during these days.

I thought of writing a nasty post and a current episode of what my feelings were and then I had an epiphany. No idiot, it’s New Moon soon….tomorrow in fact. Yay! No wonder things are affecting me more than usual and my temper is outta control……needless to say I am definitely not nice during this period and maybe bitchface comes to mind too.

I will apologise now to Family and Friends that can’t avoid the wrath that occurs during this period. I am sorry now and always around the New Moon cycle.

So, I thought, right I need to see what the heck is happening to me as come on, I don’t really want to be a psycho every month for 4/5 days. I want to be happy,on track, energised and awesome. (one day sexy too) Anyways, so I got my google out. My bestie, Google, gosh I love thee :). So, googled, New Moon and their effects on people. It came up with various deliveries on what happens and things that did make me think that crikey this is more in depth than what i thought. It seems to me it also stems from when I was born too, as if you are born 5 days either side of New Moon you are affected more. Then happens to be me also. Right. That’s add that to the things to work out also?

I found this interesting (see below) about heightened events occurring and this making this cycle of moon more intense.

“On new moon days, the Raja-Tama spreading ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.), people engaged in occult rituals and predominantly rājasik and tāmasik people are strongly influenced and receive black energy for their Raja-Tama activities. As it is a day conducive for negative activities, it is considered an inauspicious day for any positive activities. As the Raja-Tama from the moon affects the mind, the incidence ofRaja-Tama tendencies like running away, suicide or possession by ghosts is highest on new moon. Especially during the night, as the otherwise naturally available purification by the Absolute Cosmic Fire Principle (Tējtattva) through the Sun being absent, new moon night is a golden opportunity for the ghosts to cause distress to man.”

“Spiritual research has further revealed that there are some finer differences between the effect of new moon and full moon on man. Overall the distressing effect of moon on man is more on new moon than on full moon. The adverse effect of full moon is more on the physical or gross body (sthūladēha) whereas that of new moon is more on the mind. The effect of full moon is more apparent whereas the effect on new moon is more intangible (subtle). As the effect of new moon is not apparent to the person, it is even more dangerous. This is because as he is not aware of the distress, no step is taken to overcome it. Between new moon and full moon the effects of new moon are less noticeable to us. However the negative effect is more on new moon. The reason for this is that on new moon the effect on man is more at a subtle-level as opposed to the full moon where one is aware of the increase in thoughts”

There is no real ritual or certain thing to avoid the New Moon either. I am still searching and hoping that with help from a Shaman they might know of something to help me. I did just get shown a Salt Water Bath, Rose Quartz for Love and Warmth, and Lavender for improved sleep. Going to try these tonight, so wish me luck! As for learning more on the Moon, I will post more as I do really like Astrology and how the world works with the ebbs and flows of energy.

Keeping you posted on this ride of mine, have a nice afternoon champs,
