Time once and again for the deep dark moon dreaming that is de rigeur for the balsamic lunar phase, aka right now. You know the dark moon drill my darlings: declutter, release and repeat. This is *the* time every single month in a row to let go of anything / everything that irks, niggles, pains, blocks or bothers Beautiful You.

Irritation is an Aries dark moon

Today's dark moon dreaming is being magnified by this ephemeral Pisces moon. At once vague and visionary, she's pulling us deep below the surface twitter of birds and nodding sunflowers.

If you're feeling an overwhelming urge right now to chuck your life and all its irritating little facets over the back of your head as you make a glorious getaway somewhere else, you are channelling the mood du jour.

Just let it go. How many times has that old chesnut been flung in our direction with a well meaning lob? By the time our stomach sinks we know it is truth and our mind madly scrambles to find a way around it. There is none. If something in your life is toxic and you know it deep down in your marrow, it is time to let it go. And the dark moon is the perfect time to do it, adding Lady Luna’s gentle breath out to your own deep sigh of recognition.

Oh deep delicious dark moon, here you are again already. Once la luna begins waning, cosmic forces take a deep breath in. This phase of the monthly moon cycle takes us back through from full incandescence to waning crescent to the balsamic phase.

The dark moon is the very best time there is to Let It Go, every single month in a row. This is my favourite spell to do so, and its as easy as collecting a hatful of leaves.

Dark mooning, the way nature does it.

We are again in the dark phase of the moon, a time of introspection, the kind you only get from being alone with your thoughts and the bright stars above.
