Birthing the New

As we start the astrological year just around the time of our new moon in Aries AND this occurs during the Spring Equinox / Ostara Sabbath 2023, this topic is huge. In so many areas of life, we are birthing new babies now. It could be an actual baby (in fact, in Sweden most babies are being born around April 10th, did you know?), it could be a new business or project, or a new version of yourself. 

As with every new moon, we have the chance to start anew. This first new moon of the zodiac in 2023, more so than ever. The spring is about to wake up and we pour seeds into the ground, some sprout and some don’t. Regardless, seed with intention and prayer. Mother Earth is always rewarding us for connecting to all of her elements. 

The Goddess Ostara is guiding us during the spring equinox. She comes with fertility and abundance, rabbits and eggs. Her name stems from Eostre and she’s a Germanic fertility goddess. Listen to nature now and call upon Ostara to lead you in your projects and plans forward. We’re now taking the first steps on the road of the new life we’re creating for ourselves. What does that look like for you? 

Honor your new path and our spring Goddess Ostara by dressing colorfully and create beauty around you. That is why we do easter decorations, to draw in more beauty inside and around us. A powerful prayer to use now during the spring equinox of 2023 and new moon in Aries. 

Look at the patterns and schemes you set up at the full moon in Virgo. Did you lay out the plan and map to reach your vision? Now is the time to take baby steps. Avoid pushing. Just as with a newborn baby, we need to stay with the new path, our new self, and nurture it. Nurture the new by staying close, observe and care for it. We all need nourishment to grow.  

Cool the fiery energy with music and water

We need a good balance of fire and water to be able to move steadily forward; to move with ease and clarity. Although this energy of Birthing the new is exciting, remember the moon’s wisdom of staying balanced. There are two sides to everything. Every time we enter sunny, fiery Aries and spring is upon us, there is a chance to get burned out. To burn from the new sun. Be mindful of your health still. 

Connect with the plants and their wisdom to aid you in this balance. Herbal infusions such as teas, steams and baths are very nourishing all throughout this moon cycle, to stay healthy both physically, mentally and spiritually. Get the flow going by working spiritually and practically with the waters in this way!

Reach out to me if you look for Magic Oils and Herbs, as I’m about to open my Witchy Farm Shop for the season!

This theme is a true moon message as we have a lot of fire energy around many planets, so make sure to balance it out with flow of waters. I’m sure we’ll see sudden shifts in weather around this topic too. Make sure you drink plenty of water and find pools of stillness. 

Listening to soothing music will also work really well now to be able to move forward with a cool head, clear focus and a soft flow. Maybe it’s time for something completely new? Listen or play music and instruments that are calling your attention now to aid your journey in birthing the new.

Take the golden opportunities, don't let the mind stop you

A downside to Aries' eager and childish sprint could be the mind’s game. As always when we’re on a path of the unknown, fear arises. You feel it deeply, this is the right way. You feel that something has to be done, you need to try, to move forward. Yes! Do it. And pay close attention to what your mind is trying to tell you along the way. Use affirmations to strengthen your mind and focus. Check out my affirmation card to support the journey through the unknown here. 

There will be golden opportunities coming our way so pay close attention and have the courage to walk through the open doors. Remember your mantra from the last full moon? Say YES more often than not. You’ve already practiced this so moving forward with less fear should come easily for you at this time. However, everytime you notice fear- stop and listen, take notes and breathe. To birth the new, we need to have a strong connection to our willpower.  

New Moon Ritual

Take out your sacred objects and create a beautiful space for you to do your New Moon Ritual Meditation. Make sure you have a pen and paper handy. 

Sit on the floor or on a cushion. Let your feet meet in a butterfly pose, or Baddha konasana. Rest your hands on your thighs and breathe. 

Close your eyes if you wish. 

Continue to breathe in through the nose and out through the nose. After at least 10 full breaths, and you feel a relaxation in your spine, start making circles. 

Make as many circles as you want, in both directions. Let the circles be slow and big. Use one full breath of in- and out as you move. 

Close the moon practice with a few rounds of breaths in stillness. 

Continue with the moon reflections below. 

In the video, we do a meditation together and I mention things I don’t write here. Be sure to check it out too!

Moon Reflections 

Write down these questions and let the pen give you the answers to one at a time:

• What can I do to support my health as I birth the new?

• Do I know what step to take next? If not, how shall I find out?

Sit with your moon reflections for as long as you need. Write down more that comes up. Let us know in the comments how this practice worked for you! 

Be sure to read my coming emails, as I’ve an invitation for you! 

Ometeotl, In Love,

Magdalena
