once in a Black Moon
The thoughts associated with this expression began December 29, 2024 as the Black Moon was the next day. I had never heard of the term until around that time, as one of my favorite colors is Black and I love the Moon; I was intrigued. The events around that time were displeasing, forcing me to introspect and reflect; as well as turn my thoughts, feelings, and emotions toward my desires, goals, dreams, and aspirations . At the turn of the year, I was laser focused on my boundaries, self- love, and as stated my desires and such. The clarity has increased, as has my discipline in attaining balance while achieving the accomplishments I've outlined for myself. With each obstacle finding the ability to pivot and remain on my path simultaneously was a call for trust, bravery, courage, and perseverance. I will admit, I am proud of myself. It is not until this moment, I can see why my therapist recently shared with me during a conversation regarding the approach of my final sessions that she could not justify requesting more sessions for me. Initially, I felt feelings of abandonment; and attempted to ponder ways in which I can find an authentic issue to disclose which will ensure an extension of services. I now understand why she feels as if I have completed therapy, by demonstrating the level of determination and persistence toward my purpose the work I am doing within has begun to exude.
That same week, I met with my counselor during a meeting concerning my course load and schedule for future semesters. Within that meeting she also complimented me on the growth she's witnessed from our first meeting in January 2025 throughout the semester. I accepted those compliments as a confirmation of the purpose of my journey; acknowledging the desire in my heart of my future endeavors and why I am qualified to accept the calling. I've been praying for the day I not only knew my purpose, but understood it; I am in awe and fascinated with emotions. For a Psychologist (my aspiration) and a College Counselor (another aspiration) to see the cultivation of knowledge, self- awareness, values, beliefs, and gifts [skills, talents, and natural abilities] expressed through my words and behaviors is such an honor. I informed my Psychologist in a humorous way, of being my first patient; which I consider myself to be; gave me such internal validation relating to my desire to earn degrees in Psychology and Philosophy. As it is believed, the Black Moon is intensified New Moon energy— as the potential for self- reflection, transformation, and intention setting is amplified, the prayers during that time were obviously powerful. Resulting in the manifestation of a fresh and advanced level of self- confidence and dedication to obtain and apply the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom necessary to realize the life of my dreams.
The next Black Moon [like a Full Moon occurring twice within a calendar month is referred to as a "Blue Moon", a "Black Moon" is the second New Moon within a calendar month} is believed to be August 23, 2025. I've set my calendar to ensure I take the time to embrace the Black Moon and set intentions in alignment with the wishes of my heart and mind. During this time I intend to be within week's of Fall courses, with one in session and two others beginning soon after. I have yet to deep dive into the significance of there being two Black Moons this year, since the next one [after August 2025] isn't believed to occur until August 2027. Not to mention all of the other astrological happenings thus far and beyond; I feel an intense energy toward goal setting, accomplishment, and vigor...
Much time has passed since the words expressed above, however, I recently compiled my goals throughout 2025 [for each month, August through December] with an additional list of milestones to refine within 2026, 2027, and 2028. To say I am excited would be an understatement!
My hope is that we all as a collective dig deep within and reconnect with humanity in addition to the goals, dreams, hopes, prayers, aspirations, and well wishes for ourselves and our loved ones [family, friends, colleagues, and fellow human Beings] in the belief that we are all united in the Cosmic magic of creation. There are various rituals, customs, and traditions in honor of the Moon and her phases; I choose to embrace a few and set the intentions with love, passion, desire, and good cheer as I am witnessing the acts and moves of God in my life; and the newfound joy of living— each new day with a renewed sense of Being, knowing, understanding, learning, and loving.
Until Next Time,
King Kamille 🖤✨
