Greetings my Sparkly GemPeople! Happy New Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse! Are you ready for new everything?
This New Moon will occur April 28/29 at 11:14 PM PDT/2:14 AM EDT so that means tonight for those of us in the Pacific Time Zone. It’s called the “Ring of Fire” because the moon is far enough from the Earth that it will be too small to eclipse the Sun completely and what we will see is a ring of light around the Moon. Think of the One Ring of Power from Lord of the Rings! Not too many folks will see it though except those in the far Southern Hemisphere, like in Antarctica and Tasmania, etc.
This New Moon is the PERFECT beginning for planting the seeds of what we want to grow for the future. We might decide to focus on what we do in the world to make money to create this in a way that pays us financially, and also with Soul contentment and Joy. We might create a new relationship with our bodies by flushing out all the old paradigms of what “healthy” means, and start treating our bodies with a Joy-filled, nutritious diet and a balanced amount of exercise including being outside taking in the colors and healing benefits of nature more than before. Or, we might feel that our love relationships (this moon is in Taurus so is ruled by Venus) can be more loving and fulfilling, and what would that look like? This next two weeks is a great time to put together a business plan, plant a garden, make a new friend, or take up a new hobby that makes your Soul dance, or to re-start/review one that has been sitting around waiting for the “right time.” With the Sun, Moon, and Earth literally “in alignment” we have exponential energetic potential! In addition, this is supported by the double master number of April being a Universal 11 month and the 29th being an 11 day. Master number 11 is an entry-way…a portal to another opportunity…and an invitation to raise our vibration and be enlightened (this time physically as well as energetically) in the process of stepping-through!
Guidance has shown Sulpher is a native element stone of bright yellow which is volcanic in origin. As an element, Sulphur has a negative electrical charge and is an excellent remedy to absorb negative emotions and energies. All living things need Sulphur. It is especially important for humans because it is part of the amino acid methionine, which is an absolute dietary requirement for us. Sulphur is also an important part of keratin, or the protein in our bodies which form hair and nails, and help repair skin. These are our barriers/protection between us and the outside world. Thus, Sulphur is said to help remove negative thoughts, emotions, or energetic influences that are penetrating our physical or subtle bodies causing disruption in our flow of energy and help us protect with proper energetic boundaries. Think of this element as scrubbing out the dirty energetic residues from the subtle bodies. Sulphur has been known since ancient times to detoxify the body to draw out infections, and to relieve swelling and inflammation. In Chinese Medicine, this stone is said to tonify the “fire at the gate of vitality.” It can bring an abundance of energy, flashes of inspiration, and can help melt away barriers that are blocking our progress. During this time, Sulfur can be used for maximum purification on an energetic level.
I am being guided to advise that the best method of interaction is as a gem water made during the eclipse. NOTE: if you choose to make a gem water, it is critical you use the indirect method ONLY for safety! Since Sulphur not only dissolves in water but can be toxic if ingested depending on the purity of the stone used, it can be unsafe to drink water in which the stone has been soaking. The gem water can then provide a very powerful assistance in expelling any and all negative or dense energies from one’s subtle bodies, which can be taken internally or used in a bath until the Full Moon in May. Another way of interacting with Sulphur for this purpose if you don’t want to do the gem water or don’t get to it in time, is to take a raw stone and place it on the Chakra you feel is most congested energetically. You could use this alone or as part of a larger crystal layout. You can work on multiple Chakras during the next two weeks using this method, but my recommendation is to work on one until you feel it has cleared or lightened before moving onto the next one. However you choose to interact with our Crystal Ally, you will have optimal potential between this New Moon Eclipse and the Full Moon in May (2 weeks).
Wishing you much joy and success in planting the seeds of your Heart’s Desires this New Moon and Eclipse!
With All My Love,
Lisa the GeMaven
