New moons are about new beginnings. Each month we have an opportunity to bring ourselves and our spaces into alignment with overarching energies that influence us each day. The Wednesday, May 28th new moon is in the sign of Gemini. This corresponding area to energize in your home is the Knowledge gua. This is the front left area of your home and workplace.

The two-week period prior to the new moon is an excellent time to focus on self-introspection by tuning into your Self on a deep level. Reflect on where you are and where you are headed. Notice what calls to you and what you really desire. Perhaps you are looking for a creative solution to a long-standing problem or clarification about where you are headed. Maybe you have blocked deep inner wishes or tucked them away because you don't think they are possible. You might also know exactly what you want but you gave up trying for a variety of reasons. If so, take a fresh approach. Play with the possibility that a shift is possible. The energies during the latter part of May support cultivating wisdom and generating creative solutions. If you would like to gain more clarity, clean and energize the front left area of your property and the spaces where you spend time. Do this for your land, the front left area of your home, the front left corner of your bedroom, and the front left area of every room in your house. Do it for your business as well.

Begin by giving these areas a thorough spring cleaning. Repair, remove or toss out anything that is broken, remove all cobwebs, wash your windows and curtains, thin out excess paper and magazines, etc. Assess the flow of energy. Perhaps re-arrange some furniture for a new perspective or to uplift the chi of the area. Outside, thin plants and trees that may be overcrowding the area and clear debris.

Enhancements for the Knowledge area include: the colors blue, green or black; square shapes, mountain images, pottery and earthenware, natural crystals, shells, and books. You can also "fire up" this area by adding a little red or pink, some lights or candles, pictures or people or animals, and triangular shapes. Inside this is a great area for a library or study. Outside, the knowledge gua is a great location for a meditation space or herb garden.

Have fun energizing your Knowledge area prior to May 28. You can tune into the results beginning with the June 13 full moon. Remember: new moons are about new beginnings and full moons are about beginning to see the fruits of our labors. Working with one specific area of your home each month is a very good way to attract beneficial energy that is in alignment with the cosmos.

Mercury will be retrograde June 7th through June 30th.  You can't outrun it, but you can prepare for it. During May, fix whatever needs to get fixed and back up your computers. Also make sure your car is in good working order. Pay attention to all details beginning May 23rd. Read the fine print carefully. There's a lot you can do during Mercury retrograde. Just think of all words beginning with "re" such as rework, redo, repair, revamp, renovate, etc. Do avoid buying electronics and signing contracts, if you can. Plan around it. I'll write more about this next month.
