“No, no, and absolutely no!” — today we learn to use this magical word for everything we genuinely don’t need and everything others may be trying to impose on us. As we approach the Black Moon, we practice awareness and minimalism — both with material things and any kind of contact or interaction. There are plenty of temptations around, and just as many habits and attachments within.

Today, the Magical Door opens through cleansing: letting go of what is pleasant but destructive, what is unpleasant and toxic, what is burdensome and suppressive. This can be anything you wish to exclude from your life — even something that may look “useful” on the surface but, once removed, will allow you to feel light and airy, like a fairy fluttering among blossoms. Away with anything that weighs you down and keeps you from feeling satisfied with yourself and your life.

Before the New Moon, we cleanse ourselves and our space — both physically and energetically. You don’t need to dedicate the whole day to cleaning or drown in household chores. Even sweeping away dust symbolically or refreshing your personal environment is enough to give yourself the chance to breathe more freely and openly.

May all doors open for you!
