New moon astrology
is an inward journey
connecting you
to the cycles and rhythms
nature offers up each month.
The rhythm around you is
mirrored back within you.
I invite you to join in the dance.

How to create a New Moon SoulCollage® card for this month's energy... First don't make this too complicated - all you need are a few magazines, a glue stick and a sheet of 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper or poster board. Read the statement for the month's energies and then find images that 'call' to you. If you step out of the way and let your inner healer share- a story will unfold that simply amazes you.Set your intention to be present: Before you start to make a card (or two), create a sacred space for yourself, gather the materials around you. Light a candle, play music. Turn off the phones and limit your distractions. Connect with that intuitive part of you who knows about these sacred energies.Even add a shamanic journey to clear space- for those who know how to journey, go you to Helping Ally and ask about this month's energy related to your own birth chart. Upon return...Make the SoulCollage card by cutting out images that call to you, they may or may not represent the energy of the month, your journey, glue those images on the paper. Trust your intuition.You may or may not know what the image you select means at first. You may not know how you will use it and even if you will. What you feel is a power in this particular [image].
As you leaf through magazines, something stops and holds you, calls to you in a mysterious way. Something goes straight into your soul bypassing your mind. Something vital in your image stirs you, and your imagination becomes engaged. You tear it our and save it.- author Seena Frost from her book SoulCollage.
About using words on your SoulCollage cards: Don't! Words may be great when creating a vision board to set a strong intention; I don't find cut out words useful on my SoulCollage cards. Here's an article that explains my reasoning: Using words on SoulCollage cards, yes or no?You may also create your collage digitally. Whatever medium seems right for you. I do a combination of both, I make cards, scan and then tweak the images.Send your New Moon SoulCollage® to Michele: I would love to see your New Moon SoulCollage® cards and hear feedback on the experience. After completing your SoulCollage® scan it and upload your collage image. If you want to share a bit about the process and what you discovered…great!
 Remember you don't have to be an astrologer, know about astrology or be an artist to work with these concepts. Just play with it.
Your SoulCollage® may be related to a personal issue, a new project you are creating, it may be work or business related. What surprised you? Would you like to share?
There is more posted on my blog at the New Moon Journal.
