This new moon energy is something! It’s preparing us for the full moon in Scorpio. Which always brings up our deepest wounds. You might be experiencing that energy in some way already. Maybe metaphysical, mental, emotional or physical playing out somehow.
The more we heal those deeps wounds, the clearer we see. We stop self sabotaging and set boundaries with those still trapped in those cycles. We don’t need to push them fully away in the physical but we need to stay secure in our truth. Not to let those wounds, projections or unhealthy wounds drain us or derail you. Even when they see unclearly, you have a clear vision for self.
Aries is about new beginnings. So allow this energy to surface and break free from those chains. Break those chains clears the pathway to those new beginnings.
I had this energy reflected to me in a session. The session was with a long standing client and those chains were broken. The chains were along the gallbladder line which is all about breaking free from obstacles.
Depending where you are on the path, you are breaking free in some way. Maybe it’s finally seeing a pattern. In order to start the journey of healing. Maybe it’s breaking free of a certain energy that binds you to that pattern. Or maybe it’s setting you free completely of an unhealthy energy.
This energy is also shining a light on self sabotage or unhealthy patterns. Let’s look at a fearful avoidant attachment style.
They might self sabotage through inconsistency, pulling away when things feel good, overanalyzing connection, or avoiding deeper conversations when vulnerability is required. If the pattern isn’t recognized, it can drain others through mixed signals, emotional withdrawal, or creating closeness and then removing it, leaving the other person in confusion. Their subconscious can also sabotage connection by moving on too quickly, shutting down, or creating distance before anything real has a chance to stabilize. These patterns are ingrained, often formed from early experiences, and will continue to repeat until they are brought into awareness.
Once you recognize the behavior and the pattern, everything shifts. If you see it in yourself, you can research the behavior and start peeling the layers emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
If you notice the unhealthy pattern in another person, hopefully they are open to a conversation. You can see if they take accountability and how they plan to work on it. Then you observe. You watch if their actions begin to align with their words. Healing is not instant. Patterns do not disappear overnight. They shift over time. You can often see the awareness and effort before you see the full change in behavior. And that is where your clarity comes in. You are no longer unconsciously participating in the cycle. You see it. You address it. You set boundaries accordingly.
Whether they grow or not, you are no longer losing yourself inside of their pattern. If you are, there is a lesson there. If the connection is causing a push/pull feeling, confusion, or making you unstable it’s best to go inward and ask yourself why?
Seeing the unhealthy pattern clearly, helps to calm the nervous system. Instead of falling into the unhealthy pattern, you observe and notate behaviors. This cognitive reframe is not passive. It is the most active thing you can do. It instantly moves your neural processing from the amygdala back to the preffrontal cortex. It drops your heart rate. It clears the cortisol fog. It allows you to own your truth and keeps your nervous system in check.
Remember, Not all chaos is loud. Those who lack accountability tend to create quiet chaos. Some unhealthy behaviors can be subtle and repeated so often that it becomes normalized.
Deflection
Minimization
Gaslighting
Broken agreements
Rewriting reality
These are not just “personality traits.”
They are patterns that disrupt trust and distort truth.
Deflection shifts focus away from accountability. Minimization makes real experiences feel small or invalid. Gaslighting causes you to question your own memory and perception.
Over time, this creates confusion, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion.
People who are emotionally unregulated, self-focused, or lacking accountability often function this way. Not always intentionally, but consistently enough that the impact is real.
And the result is the same. They create disruption again and again without fully seeing it.
You cannot build clarity in a space where reality is constantly being shifted.
At some point, the work is not to explain yourself better. It is to recognize the pattern and stop participating in it.
Awareness restores clarity. Boundaries restore stability.
This New Moon is highlighting the energy of the in between within the meridians too.
The Large Intestine meridian is not just about release, it is about what happens after we let go. It creates the space between what was and what is becoming.
LI 2 speaks to the pause. The space between two realities. Where something has ended, but the next phase has not fully arrived yet. This is the parenthesis in our lives. A moment that can feel uncertain, but is actually where integration and reflection happen.
LI 3 brings the energy of new creation. After release, there is growth. A new perspective begins to form. It is the bridge between heaven, earth, and the human experience, where we start to see life differently and move forward with more clarity and trust.
When this energy is flowing, it allows us to release the past, integrate what we have learned, and step into something new with openness. When it is blocked, it can show up as hesitation, self doubt, judgment, or difficulty letting go.
I can feel this energy personally right now.
I am in my new home, but still unpacking. Still in between what was and what is becoming. Driving my daughter to her old school while preparing for her transition into the new one. It is a physical reflection of this energetic parenthesis.
Not fully in the old, not fully in the new.
And instead of rushing through it, I am allowing this space to exist.
Because this is where integration happens.
This is where clarity forms.
This is where the next version of life begins to take shape.
This in-between energy is happening on all levels. Be aware. Stay true to self and step forward.
