Full Moon, New Moon and Retrograde Dates for 2023
Full Moon and New Moon Calendar for 2023 As we move into 2023, we prepare for another year filled with celestial events. Among the many astrological occurrences that will take place, full moons and new moons remain some of the most anticipated. These events are known to hold a great deal of energy and power, and the upcoming year promises 13 full moons and 12 new moons. In this article, we'll look at the dates for each of these events in 2023. What are Full Moons and New Moons? Before diving into the calendar, let's review what full moons and new moons are. A full moon occurs when the sun is on one side of the earth and the moon is on the other, with the earth in the middle. The full moon reflects the maximum amount of light from the sun, making it appear bright and fully illuminated. This event is often associated with abundance, completion, and release. On the other hand, a new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the sun and earth, with the sun's light blocked by the moon. This makes the moon appear dark or invisible. New moons are often considered the perfect time for planting seeds of intention and setting new goals. 2023 Full Moon & New Moon Calendar: Full Moon 16°21 Cancer – January 6th, 2023, at 3:07 pm PT New Moon 1°32 Aquarius – January 21st, 2023, at 12:53 pm PT Full Moon 16°40 Leo – February 5th, 2023, at 10:28 am PT New Moon 1°21 Pisces – February 19th, 2023, at 11:05 pm PT Full Moon 16°40 Virgo – March 7th, 2023, at 4:40 am PT New Moon 0°48 Aries – March 21st, 2023, at 10:22 am PT Full Moon 16°07 Libra – April 5th, 2023, at 9:34 pm PT Total Solar Eclipse 29°49 Aries – April 19th, 2023, at 9:12 pm PT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse 14°57 Scorpio – May 5th, 2023, at 10:33 am PT New Moon 28°25 Taurus – May 19th, 2023, at 8:53 am PT Full Moon 13°17 Sagittarius – June 3rd, 2023, at 8:41 pm PT New Moon 26°42 Gemini – June 17th, 2023, at 9:36 pm PT Full Moon 11°18 Capricorn – July 3rd, 2023, at 4:38 am PT New Moon 24°55 Cancer – July 17th, 2023, at 11:31 am PT Full Moon 9°15 Aquarius – August 1st, 2023, at 11:31 am PT New Moon 23°16 Leo – August 16th, 2023, at 2:37 am PT Full Moon 7°24 Pisces – August 30th, 2023, at 6:35 pm PT New Moon 21°58 Virgo – September 14th, 2023, at 6:39 pm PT Full Moon 6°00 Aries – September 29th, 2023, at 2:57 am PT Annular Solar Eclipse 21°07 Libra – October 14th, 2023, at 10:54 am PT Partial Lunar Eclipse 5°08 Taurus – October 28th, 2023, at 1:23 pm PT New Moon 20°43 Scorpio – November 13th, 2023, at 1:27 am PT Full Moon 4°51 Gemini – November 27th, 2023, at 1:16 am PT New Moon 20°39 Sagittarius – December 12th, 2023, at 3:31 pm PT Full Moon 4°57 Cancer – December 26th, 2023, at 4:32 pm PT In 2023, Mercury will be in apparent retrograde motion during the following ranges of dates: December 28, 2022, to January 18, 2023 April 21 to May 14 August 23 to September 14 December 13 to January 1, 2024
Welcome 2023
The old world is crumbling, and a new way is emerging. The Goddess is Rising Keyword: Awareness. Practice: Meditation- Mindfulness-Kindness. Period of: – Rebuilding- New Foundations. In need of: Human Touch. It’s time to take off our 3D cloths and step into what the 4th dimension is bringing us. How do we recognize that the 4th dimension has begun? We are seeing and experiencing how fast time is going. Things are speeding up the frequency is quicker. Example: Look at how fast the months are going. Four weeks now feels like three. With the acceleration in speed, it causes a change in the picture. So, what the world was, it now isn’t. The frequency is one of not accepting our old structure. That’s why things aren’t working anymore. So, we must step into the new frequency, or we will be in between and will be miserable. To step into the flow of the frequency of the new way: We are to discover our true soul self and establish a connection with the universal energy source. We are to clear all karma as best as we can. We are to look at our own biases and judgement of self and others and correct them. We MUST have a clean - clear pure heart. We MUST respect and honor Mother Earth and all its inhabitances. We are to examine how we personally take care of our environment. Where do we waste food, water, paper, plastic. How can we conserve? We are to do things not only for self but for the collective good - ALWAYS We must focus on liberty and justice for ALL! In the 4th Dimension which we have begun: Corporations will be dwindling, and small new businesses will rise. The new large corporations will be clean energy based. Environmental. Politics will go and governing will begin. The divine feminine is and will rise. In Health Care – The whole self is promenade - the mind-body-spirit – will be looked at as one. Sound will be used for many medical aliments. Mental Health for everyone- part of the whole-self structure. Mind: Practice Meditation- Mindfulness - Get off electronics for social living!! This is the mind/ego run riot! Responsible use of social media. Need Human Interaction. Body: Think rainbow – East the colors of – phytonutrients. Body: Spirit - Balance and Clear – Chakras- and Auras (Energy centers) Sound and Color Healing. Acupuncture- meridians life energy highway. Massage- Touch- Soothing-Opening -the bodies muscular - skeletal – nervous system. - Yoga, Thi-Chi, Chi Gong, Dancing, Drumming, Singing etc.… Practices that connect us to Spirit. This is all exciting! We can’t get caught up in the crumbling and disfunction that is happening right now. We have to stay on this clear course of A New Day – A New Way. Therefore, we need to step out of our old 3D clothes, and create the new wardrobe. Otherwise, we will lose it! Stay focused on the developing of the new self and these goals and you won’t go wrong. In Love and Light, Jodi
Happy Holidays
As we scurry around getting gifts and putting up holiday Ornaments, let’s take a moment to stop and remember what this holiday really signifies. This holiday reminds us to be compassionate and understanding towards others. Really look and listen to what people are saying. To see them and all others through the eyes of love. The way God’s love is shared with all of us. To hold out a hand of charity where needed, as we would want someone to do for us. To walk in peace and humility. Be the Light. To have gratitude for every waking moment we have and to cherish the people in our lives. To be grateful for the little things too. It all goes so fast, so do stop and send your love this season. Light a candle of hope that we will all walk in peace together. In Love and Light, Jodi
Crystal Grids: The How and Why?
Crystal Grids are an arrangement of crystals laid out on to different geometrical patterns to enhance and direct your desired intention out into the universe. Goal: Is to manifest your intentions. Start with getting quiet so that you can listen to your intuitive heart. Write out on a piece of paper your clear and precise intention, or healing you are asking for. Next pick the grid you want to use Pick out your crystals and cleanse them either in salt water, or smudging them in sage. Lay out your Grid then state your intention out loud. Then start to place your crystals. How to place your crystals In the center is your Focus Stone- it is the stone that amplifies all of your other stones and activates the universal life force. I like to use Quartz crystal as it is the strongest amplifier. The next step is the Way Stones- they surround the center stone and amplifies the energies. The Desire Stones- are the outer most stones and they gather the energy of the other 2 sets of stones. The Path- These are the connective lines of energy flow through the grid. When you are done: State your intention out loud again and then say And So It Is!Then take your written piece of paper and put it under or next to the grid. Enjoy the process ! In Love and Light, Jodi
