New Moon

This week, we enter the month of Aquarius, a month abundant with spiritual opportunities to grow and transform our lives.

Each Zodiac sign contains both positive and negative influences. Karen's meditation is a tool to use specifically during the New Moon, and throughout the month, to give us the ability to tap into the positive influences of the month of Scorpio.

In the month of Scorpio, it is good to have determination, but we also need to use the power of restriction. Even if we believe we are right, we must be willing to bend and give up the need to be in control. Compromise and collaboration can make all the difference during this time.

The month of Scorpio gives us the gift of becoming aware of our sparks of purity, and the ability to fan them into huge flames, to recover our true selves.

The Zohar teaches us that within every single one of us exists a spark of purity that can never be corrupted - no matter how negatively we may act.

The kabbalists teach that Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the New Year, when our true self is born anew. But what does that really mean?

Every one of us has a spark of the Light of the Creator within us. The kabbalists explain no matter how many negative actions we have committed, this true essence – our real selves – never becomes disconnected from its source. The Creator is always within us.

We are now in the beginning of the month of Elul, better known as the month of repentance.

On a simple level, it can be understood that in the upcoming month of Tishrei (sign of Libra), we will all be judged. Therefore, we should cleanse ourselves beforehand. But there is a deeper secret to this month.

We need to remember that no matter how much negativity we have created, no matter how deep we go into darkness, our soul – our essence, our seed – never becomes impure.

By proactively cleansing our personal negativity during the month of Virgo, the fog can be lifted and we will see our pure soul more clearly.

The kabbalists reveal that the purpose of Kabbalistic Astrology is to understand the influences we will encounter each month and to create control in our lives. The first day of each month, known as Rosh Chodesh, is considered to be the seed level for the entire month. It is on this day that we gather to learn about the influence of the month with a lecture specific to the energy of the coming month.
