This is your card reading for Friday, September 30th/16--the day of a rare Black New Moon! Your card flipped right out of the 'Animal-Wise Tarot' deck, authored by Ted Andrews. Your card is 'Dolphin ~ Creativity, Fertility, New Promise', and Ted's message for the card is this:
"Three of the most ancient and powerful creative forces have always been water, sound, and breath. In the Dolphin, all three of these creative powers come together. When Dolphin shows up, there will always be a dynamic increase in fertility and creativity within your life.
Dolphins are one of the few mammals of the sea. This in itself is very significant, for many of the most ancient myths tell of how all life came from the primordial waters. Water is a powerful archetypal symbol of creation, fertility, and new life.
Dolphins are powerful communicators, both vocally and through body language. They have a great ability to use sonar, emitting a series of clicks and then responding to the feedback of the clicks as the sound reverberates. Dolphin shows us how to use sound and voice to create and manifest, teaching us to hear underlying currents in voices.
Sound does require breath, and if we know how to combine sounds (in words, prayers, chants, songs, etc.) with breath, we can reshape the waters of our life. . . The appearance of Dolphin also reveals that our words are taking on greater power and intensity. Things said more lovingly are felt more lovingly. Things said more hurtfully cut more deeply. The creative power of our voice is growing. . .
The sea of life is pregnant with possibilities. Dolphin reminds us to focus on those possibilities and our own ability to be creative and fertile. This most fertile time holds the promise of new growth and the fulfillment of our needs."
My message for you today is this:
Wow! Dolphin has presented as a messenger for you on this powerful day of the Black New Moon---which is profound with manifestation potential! A Black Moon occurs when there are 2 New Moons in the same month---this New Moon on September 30th follows the New Moon which occurred on September 1st.
How beautifully synchronistic that Dolphin surfaced in support of the energies that we are experiencing around this Black New Moon! And that the tides of the ocean, where the Dolphin resides, are interactive with Moon energy! Perfect!
Also, synchronistically, my dear friend Jan shared this on Facebook from foreverconscious.com, and I feel compelled to share it with you:
"Black Moon Ritual for Clearing and Manifesting September 2016 - Forever Conscious
. . .this Moon is going to be extremely positive and will help you to awaken to your fullest potential. Something new is likely to be birthed at this time and new parts of you are set to awaken.
Because the energy of this Moon is so powerful, to take advantage of it, you may want to do a ritual or set an intention out to the Universe.
By doing so, it can really help you to consciously and subconsciously receive the energies of the Black Moon on a deeper level.
Due to the energies of this Moon, cleansing, releasing, and manifesting are all going to be good places to start.
Here is a ritual idea to guide you-
STEP ONE: Cleanse Your Aura
Take a piece of sage or any other cleansing tool of your choice, and smudge your entire aura starting from the centre and working your way around your body. As you cleanse your energy, you may want to recite a mantra like the one below, or write something more personal that means something to you-
'I cleanse my body of any stagnant energy that no longer serves me. I cleanse my mind of any self limiting beliefs, I cleanse my heart of any attachments to the past. I am now light and love. I am light and love. I am light and love.'
STEP TWO: Cleanse Your Home
Cleanse your entire home using sage, or any other form of cleansing you prefer. Go around every corner of your house clearing out old, stagnant energy from your past. As you walk around cleansing your home, perhaps recite a mantra such as-
'I cleanse this space of the past, I cleanse this space of attachments that no longer serve me, I cleanse this space of energetic debris that is not aligned with light and love.'
STEP THREE: Let There Be Light
Once everything is cleansed, light a candle. It is best if the candle is new as this will symbolize new beginnings. You can also pick the colour of your candle based on what energy you want to attract and work with for the coming cycle. You can pick more than one candle too
*Black - shadow and subconscious work
*Blue - protection and working with guardian angels
*Green - harmony and working with nature spirits
*Yellow - happiness, lightness (stepping away from taking life so seriously)
*Purple - spiritual development and finding your purpose
*White - staying open to the vibrations and messages of the Universe
*Red - connecting to your purpose or passion
*Pink - opening the heart
*Orange - finding your voice and increasing motivation to act
STEP FOUR: Open to the Universe
Once you have lit your candle or candles, this is where you get to set your intention. Write a short message to the Universe or to your higher self about where you want to be, what energy you want to create, or whatever feels right to you. There are no rules with this, but here is a template/example that you can use-
'I open myself to the positive energies of the Universe. I ask the Universe to help me clear (insert here)...I ask the Universe to help open me to (insert here)...I know I am guided and protected by the Universe and I ask my guides and guardian angels to help me (insert here)...Through stating this intention, I realize my power, I know my prayers have been heard and I know I am supported by the Universe.'
As you state this intention you may also want to open your heart chakra area by taking a deep breath, looking up and circling your arms around to come to prayer position.
STEP FIVE: Gratitude
Once you have completed your 'opening' it is time to express your gratitude. Give thanks for the journey you have been on so far. Give thanks to all the lessons that you have learned. Give thanks to your body and your mind for carrying you through all these years. Give thanks for where you stand today."
I am personally not aware of this site, 'Forever Conscious', which this ritual is shared from, but I thank Jan so much for sharing it. I feel that this is a beautiful and powerful ritual; and the information shared here feels of integrity and in alignment with my own belief system.
I will absolutely be doing my own form of this ritual today! Some personal points I would like to share with you:
~I like Peruvian Palo Santo wood as a tool for 'cleansing'. Go with what feels right for you...perhaps it will be a smudge stick that is a 'blend' of various medicines. I was taught to smudge from the 'top to the bottom', ending with my feet, rather than beginning in the middle as is shared by 'Forever Conscious'. Really...it is always about your INTENTION, and if you have set an intention for clearing, and strive to do so with integrity, the 'how' is the least important aspect of the act, I feel.
~Call upon the energies also being offered to you on this day by Dolphin, as shared in Ted Andrews message above, as you conduct your ritual or ceremony.
~Some feel that they can only conduct their ritual in the 'light of the Moon' for it to be effective, but this is not my belief---any time of the day is fine. The New Moon energy is flowing in and flowing out even on the days either side of it, as energy is always 'in flow' rather than 'clap on/clap off'. If you are highly sensitive to energy, you were likely already feeling this New Moon energy yesterday and will continue feeling it into tomorrow... If you are unable to hold this ceremony for yourself, you will still be in the flow tomorrow...
~If you feel that you want to conduct a ritual for yourself, always honour what feels right for you. Do not ever feel that you MUST follow the guidelines of this ritual, or any other, to the letter. I am sharing this ritual, as shared by 'Forever Conscious', because I feel that it is an excellent guideline that is in alignment with the energies of this particular Black New Moon.
Feel free to 'make it your own', as they encourage you to do, also.
We have been bringing so much to the surface over this last while...particularly in regards to relationship... We are ready to release the old patterns that no longer serve who we are now and move into the new patterns that are a reflection of all the 'inner work' we have been doing. Dolphin energy and the energies being offered cosmically are supporting us in that!
Blessed be...
