The wisdom of ending cycles + the soul’s personal growth 💕  under scrutiny.

November 1st

There will be A new moon on November 1st, but because it’s on the opposite side  it will be dark and not visible at that time. The time between this new moon and when the full moons face will be fully illuminated is the dark Moon.

This is a good time for you to end some things and begin some other things for your personal growth. We recommend that you respect this opportunity and take full advantage of it. KDG

What to think

A dark moon, or a new moon, is a phase where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making its illuminated side facing away from us. As a result, it appears completely dark in the night sky.
Here’s how you can view a dark moon:
* Timing is Key:
   * A new moon occurs roughly every 29.5 days.
   * You won’t be able to see the moon with the naked eye during this phase.
* Look for Earthshine:
   * Sometimes, a faint glow can be seen on the dark side of the moon. This is called “earthshine” and is caused by sunlight reflecting off the Earth and illuminating the moon’s surface.
   * To observe earthshine, you’ll need a clear, dark sky and possibly binoculars or a telescope to enhance the view.
* Stargazing Opportunities:
   * A new moon offers excellent conditions for stargazing.
   * With no moonlight to interfere, you can see fainter stars, constellations, and celestial objects more clearly.
Remember, a dark moon isn’t about seeing the moon itself, but rather about the celestial wonders that become visible in its absence.

Good luck
