May New Moon Window! 🥳
Tomorrow is the new cycle of moon phases and today is energetically important so I'm sending the moon movements early.
Welcome to Sanctum with Eve — a space for realignment through the I Ching, Reiki, and reflection. Here, we walk together — through the deeper layers of self, shadow, and wisdom — exploring how the unseen collective energies shaping our lives can help us be free from suffering. My offerings are: I Ching monthly predictions, reflections, Reiki practices, and guided meditations.
Happy new moon window!
For those of you new to Sanctum with Eve—Welcome! I’m so happy to meet you. Below you will find the ways working with the moon cycle can assist you during the month.
Tracking your experience of the phases will teach you:
When to focus your energy on creative projects
When you’ll likely need more down time to stay in balance
When you might feel a bit out of sorts - hello full moon!
How to plan your schedule so that you’ll be more in flow
When to let go of the “shoulds” around getting things done
I invite you to try out tracking your flow for a cycle or two to see whether or not you consistently experience similar energy. For example, are you awash in creative ideas during the waxing gibbous moon?
As each one of us is different, these posts are guides to help you track your energy, emotions, and behavior over time so that you are using lunar energy to your advantage.
To understand more about the science of the phases, here’s a link to NASA.

We are entering a New Moon in Taurus (earth element) on Saturday (US time). And, there’s so much more happening in the skies starting today, Thursday. 🥳
Today, we are one day outside the new moon window and you might already have noticed inspiration arising in creative ventures, communication, and financial matters. You’ll be having some luck around these areas.
This is important because the collective energy is either in or moving towards what the I Ching calls Great Injury. Great Injury slows you down because things aren’t working out as expected. You feel resistance.
Today there’s some planetary movement that is going to help you move in a different way so that you see how to make what you are working possible outside the resistance.
This weekend, ground. Plant your feet in the soil or sand and hug many trees.
The energy this weekend may appear like lightening bolts of disruption. With each strike, something ends its current form and, at the same moment, something else begins.
This can be anxiety evoking and trying for many who preferred that thing not to change. If you find yourself blowing up over something — know that the practices of mindfulness that we’ve been working on over the past couple years will help.
Also, grounding. Hug a tree then go make things right again.
If someone else blows up at you, understand that they may be as surprises as you! You might hear at lot of people saying (or find yourself saying): I can’t believe I just said/did that!
After the weekend, this energy will pass. Till then, compassion.
As mentioned in my book, The I Ching Predictions for 2026 (Print), the energy of Great Energy, this new moon and the other planets is asking you to move mindfully. Don’t be a bug smashing again and again against the window. Find a new path when you encounter resistance this weekend and over the next couple of weeks. 💜
Reflection questions:
How do I feel?
What am I craving?
What behaviors and mindsets arise?
Where is resistance arising and how can I listen then pivot?
