In my shamanic work apprenticeship, I have a process where I work with, meet and develop relationships with new teachers all the time. I have been doing this informally for all of my life before I joined into structures already created by other humans. Overall, some of my teachers are in the flesh, but many of my teachers are plant spirits–in fact, for every single human teacher I have, I have probably 10x as many plant teachers. I’ve had a lot of human teachers over the years. One day I think about making a list of all of them. It’s overwhelming to be honest. Hah! However, the plant allies are not overwhelming at all. They can easily be missed without recognition. Which is why it takes careful attention and cultivation of the observation aspect of consciousness. We are awareness.

I’ve attached these New Moon dates for your convenience. It’s a snapshot of the year. For the solar calendar and the Western world, the New Moon with most relevance is the one at the start of the year, January. However, for the lunar calendar focus of the cultures of the East, the first moon of relevance for predictive and preparation purposes, is the moon in February. This is in the sign of Aquarius. I find this to be very significant because of the role that Aquarius is playing in the dawning of our new age. Pluto is moving into Aquarius this month, with certainty. There is no doubt about that prognostication. It is more than a “weather” event. It is a description of a galactic clock. While we observe from Earth, our observations are still further based from the energy of the Sun, and extending beyond that. It’s a very small world that we ever get to “see.” Scientists are now currently discovering newer and newer galaxies, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope.

  1. I love that you have so many plant teachers! 👏🍀🌱 My Celtic ancestors listened and spoke to the tree and plant spirits of the land. It takes patience and an open heart to work with them. They are amazing teachers. Happy New Moon 💕

    1. Dear Karen,
      Yes, my plant teachers are very patient with me. They are teaching me that, too. The subtlety is such that we have to cultivate that sensitivity–as you know–not so easy to do, and it’s a devotional process.

      Regarding the Celts, this Feb 1 is Imbolc, and I’m joining in ceremony here to call in Brigid and being brought the sacred waters and fire/flame from Ireland. This life is such a gift; it’s hardly believable. So, I join with your Celtic ancestors (and mine, too! spiritual ancestors for me.) ❤ Blessings and love

    1. Hi Janet,
      Thank you for visiting! Looks like your comment went through! It’s a WP miracle. This is so exciting. Love having you here. Love being at your blog. Just, well, I’m a bit overly excited (but that’s allowed). Cheers to this auspicious moment. Life is much better when we are joining with lovely company, creative and inspired friends ❤ xo

    1. You are welcome. Thank you for reading and visiting! I’m still trying to figure out the best way to post replies. I tend to go to the posts when I have a chance from my PC and then go through each comment. Sometimes this doesn’t work out well. Oh well, I’m gonna keep trying to do my best! You know the blogging battles and the blogging FUN. Thank you for your comment, Debby. Much love you! Today I have a couple of minutes to catch up on replies and it feels good!!

    1. Dear Eddie,
      I used to have the ephemeris in a book. Then just online. Now, I use what is given. I’ve linked the source here to give credit, but yes… passing on the good stuff for my friends to have it be accessible. You can refer back, you can also watch my on-going reminders. Thank you so much for being here. Traveling with you through space on spaceship Earth is my pleasure and a real treat.
      Ka

      1. All prepared to apply myself to outside chores that are continuously delayed and
        may not even be accomplished. Oh well.
        There are more important things in life.
        Thank you so very much for sharing your
        life’s story with me. hugs Ka
        It matters to me

    1. Plant teachers are sincere. The time we spend in nature, as you know, is symbiotic. Our loving presence matters more to them than we often realize. We do already realize we feel lighter and more peaceful when in nature ❤
      Thanks for visiting, Diana 🙂 The moon schedule is helpful for reflecting on the ways our lives are meaningful 🙂

        1. Thank you, friend. We have so many allies we can partner with intentionally, even as we are already unintentionally connected. It is indeed something we can feel. 🩷 The deepening of this process is a bit of a devotion. But it also travels with ease as do all great connections are holding steady beautiful, even invisible, “lines” of light. I think of your home-spider’s tracks on your chandelier and I smile 😃 about the joy you allow! 🕷️🕸️

Please drop me a petal from your beautiful self and let me know that you visited :)
