For the New Moon, that is. I feel like my intention more months than not is, "Be the partner I want to attract. Have boundaries in my relationships. Do right by myself and the other person." Blah, blah, blah.

It's a tired intention! Do you ever just not have a very fresh intention for the New Moon? I feel at a loss because this is a good New Moon! I guess I'm just a bit jaded at the moment or something.

i'm kind of at a loss over here, myself. maybe i'll just steal yours. mine's been about new employment for far too long. i'm setting that one free. go roam the universe old intention, you are set freeeeeee....

Maybe add some Equinox burning ritual stuff into the mix? Maybe you can burn your jadedness?

Sounds more like you're 'in the dark' than jaded ;)  To let go and let your partner come to you of their own accord is an intention as well,

what house is it in?

how about something to visualize. with saturn in libra i like the image of going to a party a mansion. the rules still apply (the entrance gate, the security personnel etc) but once you're "in" you can have the time of your life. once you feel safe in the zone, you can relax.

See, that brings me back to the whole issue of like, let go of my desire, not let go of my desire, whatever I do I honestly believe it doesn't make a difference... I just don't have an intention for this New Moon, I guess.

dorchid, what degree is the New Moon? If before 6 degrees, it is in the 12th on my AC, or if past 6 degrees, in my 1st house.

whatever I do I honestly believe it doesn't make a difference in increasing my odds

how about the intention to be fair to yourself.

Your visualization could work, dorchid, seeing as I'm going to a party in a mansion in about one month!

I think I am fair to myself.

woohoo!!

In case that was too jesterly,,,this is what I did with the Spring Equinox New Moon:

http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/happy-spring-equinox-happy-as-the-moon-wanes

It was an action oriented ritual, rather. I often don't have new intentions. I don't have one right now. The New Moon is conj. my Pluto, square my Moon, opposing Venus/Mars and trine Jupiter and I am just trying to drum up humour for myself:)

Cool, Kash. Thanks :)

wouldn't being the partner you want to attract just attract you to yourself?

just raggin' on ya. 

if its crossing the ASC how about be yourself.

LOL, bitch! 

Yes, I like that suggestion. Simple.

Be myself... that means not hiding my fiery nature.

lol @ nota.

i have found, generally, that if i stop wanting something so much. go about my life... that that damn thing i wanted pops up out of the blue. i have found that wanting something too much actually repels it. that's just my personal experience. i know it totally goes against all the happy-happy self-help books on intentions etc. but it's been proven to me time and time again. put it out there. let it go. then wham. it's kind of like an engaged detachment. or a detached engagemnet or something. kinda fits with the libra balance theme, come to think of it.

eta: and oh boy, do i have stories of such.

new moon is 4 deg libra

This pile up happens in my 7th house.  Saturn is conj my vesta, ain't nutin' happenin' here.  

DSC is at 28 Virgo, I intend to make no further intentions until the last ones are fully accounted for!!!!! 

Alright guys, I don't want the lecture about how I need to not want something in order to get it...

Thank you, Jilly :)

Caroline what would happen if you just were.  I mean "just be?"

It's just a lie to say that I don't want a relationship. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm going to "just be" when it's just not true at all. And I don't see why I should force myself to not want something. It just doesn't work! I'm tired of having this discussion on the matter! I feel like every time I talk about how I want a relationship, this is where the conversation goes... It's frustrating to be talking about it like this each time. Surely you guys see my perspective?

i was just telling you about my personal experience, sweetheart. it's all i've got to go on, really.

peace out.

Yeah I totally see your perspective. From my Aries to yours....burn some shit baby!

Thanks, Kash. I wasn't even trying to talk about my whole lack of relationship problem in this thread. I wanted to tease out a matter regarding New Moon intentions that I find useful to discuss.

Do you ever do the blank cheque thing?

I think I see your perspective,  all this stuff is in my 7th house.   For me sometimes the harder I try, the less I get.  Not in a give it up way, just in a relax and let it go way.  I guess what I am trying to say by analogy is that don't hang on to something so tight you strangle it.  Don't let it go,  just relax it a little,  cut it some slack,  ease it, tickle it, does that make sense?    

then don't let go..  squeeze the fuck out of it.  with your knees. 

Yes, daisy, I definitely know what you mean. It's just when people try to tell me to let go, it makes me defensive. I am "letting go" and "just being"! Like, obviously! I don't say that to be antagonizing toward you, it's just a general expression of my frustrations.

Never tried the blank check thing, but it doesn't really feel right for me to do that...

I so know what you're talking about, Caroline!  I am in the same boat.  Made the intention to be a good partner, only seek those who are worthy, etc., and it's like I'm at a loss for anything new to try.  The universe keeps sending me the wrong package and I have to keep plodding back to UPS to send it back for a refund.  I would really like to move forward with my intentions but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Maybe I just expect the same crap and so that's what I get?  I don't know.

Do you have anything in your 6th? Thinking practical rituals might be a 6th House thing. What's the house ruler?

I'm getting lots of attention from married men lately, and I have NEVER, ever even entertained being involved with one, and I'm not about to start now.  Seriously, any attached woman, married or not, could trust me with her man because it's simply verboten to me.   I'm getting pretty sick of it.

Damn Caroline that barstool is calling our names again. I don't have an intention either and I should cuz this one whacks the hell out of most of my chart!

I'd buy ya a drink if I could then we could talk through it while diddling ideas on cocktail napkins and coasters :)

Pisces rules my 6th house, Kash and I have Neptune in Cap. So instead of doing the check thing... brushing my teeth is like a prayer. 

Hmmm, what makes you frustrated about that, Del? Being hit on by married men left and right?

Michele, it might work for you in the job thing...  This July, I came to the realization that no matter how much I loved and was committed to the job I had, I could no longer afford to work there.  They were shaving 11% off the top of gross for retirement to make up for bad past investments; insurance, parking and other deductions went up as well.  I was taking home less than I did five years ago, while everything is going up, up, up!  I set the DEEP intention that I had to find something better, somewhere, though I didn't know where to start due to the job market here.  Within three days, an employer from my past found me on Facebook.  She had gotten her MBA and was managing a practice in my field and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse (the timeline from contact to job offer took awhile - about a month and a half).  Now I'm in a job I was born for and taking home about twice what I did at the other job.

Maybe it's that deep soul intention that comes when you know that it simply has to happen or you'll perish/be in deep shit/be desperately unhappy?

I have a deep soul urge to find a good partner, but I'm fine enough without one that it isn't a survival issue.

Del, I missed your first post. Yeah, I don't know, I'm inclined to think this is just par for the course with Saturn in Libra. Major delays, obstacles, and such. I'm just tryin' to roll with it as best I can and not sit around looking at the map instead of driving.

Thanks, ltg :) I'll have a Frangelico.

I've never taken it as antagonist, frustration I understand.  For me, in my case, ultimate frustration calls for putting it down and going back to it later.    It's like when you are lonely you come up cold, but the minute you get a partner, then everyone else wants you.  

In fact, I think that's it, because the ones I've been meeting for the past few years were far more trouble than they were worth.

Interesting...what do you think, intentions a 6th House thing, or no? Do you feel this is even important? I am asking because I like the energy of the New Moons but rarely make a concentrated effort to tap it specifically with intentions.

I'm not sure, Kash. I might say it's a cardinal thing because I see it as some kind of pushing off, you know?

I guess it's not *that* important to make an intention if you simply just don't have one. I don't do it every month if I don't feel the flavor of the New Moon resonates with me, but I thought I should make one for this New Moon since it seems like such a big deal with all the Libra in my 1st house and everything.
