If you would like to do something for the New Moon in October, which
is after the Dark Moon on 24th October (Dark
Moon and New Moon are completely different energies - do not conflate
the two, especially not out of laziness: strictly speaking, the New Moon
work should be when a crescent is visible, but at that stage the Moon
will possibly be in another astrological sign so I just delay until at
least a few hours after Dark Moon, and preferably the new day), according to my ephemeris, I have a suggestion for a
ritual here.
This New Moon is a partial eclipse, according to my ephemeris (which is, of course, for Australia.)
