Don't know about you but the last couple of weeks, as the moon has been deluminating down through its waning phases (to the darkest (new) moon), have been more powerfully de-energizing than usual. Maybe it's the overwhelm of negativity across current affairs, coupled with prolonged periods of isolation, that's naturally pushing me inward. So much so that I struggled to pull together a focused and coherent digest last week, for the first time in 12 weeks. This latest complete lunar orbit, however, my second of tracking and recording energy throughout, has started to feel closer aligned.Today's new moon is a rare and poignant one, in that it occurs on summer solstice but also coincides with a solar eclipse for the first time in 19 years. It's only visible across Africa and Asia though!During a new moon, the lunar gravity pulls water up causing seeds to swell and burst. This, along with the increasing moonlight, creates balanced rooting and kickstarts leaf growth.The first quarter phase from now onwards, is the optimum time for planting above-ground crops that produce seeds outside the fruit like lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage and grains like wheat, barley, oats and rice.Over the coming week, I'll be focusing on new commitments of action (1 road cycle, 1 trail cycle, 1 sea swim, 1 breath session every week) and exploring new ground (booking on a RAID Freediving course). Considering this a time of germination, so to speak.A warm welcome to summertime.
