This time last year, I wrote a post called “Your Full Moon Recovery Kit.”
Why? Because whenever it got around to the peak of the moon’s cycle, I’d be lying on the living room rug not knowing how I’d ever get up again, and I knew a lot of other witches who felt the same.
But something I’ve realised over time is that these periods of exhaustion, foggy-headedness and near-feral hunger don’t just come alongside the full moon – they arrive at the new moon too.
And are often just as hard.
These significant lunar events (when the moon is at her strongest) can have a major effect on our mental and physical health – as you are probably well aware! The push and pull of her energy against ours often causes disruptive symptoms of moon sensitivity (which I’ll go into below).
Our next new moon will erase the light from our skies on Tuesday 14th July at 10:43 AM (BST). It falls in the moon’s most exalted sign – Cancer; the astrological sign that governs family, the home and our emotions. This might sound calm and grounded, but it also means that our already heightened emotions could be pushed to the limit.
Which is why I wanted to put this post out now, three days before the new moon, so that you can prepare for the event if you are particularly moon-sensitive (like me).
If this sounds like you too, then I hope you get everything you need from this post!
