NEW MOON
In astrology terms, the New Moon is when the moon is situated between the Earth and the Sun, appearing invisible to the naked eye with its ‘Dark Side’ only shown. Spiritually, this lunar absence signifies a new beginning, as a few days later the moon is ‘reborn’ through a waxing moon phase.
During a New Moon, the Moon and the Sun are in the same Zodiac sign which gives us a boost of lunar energy and inspiration.
This is a time to absorb and embrace this lunar energy boost and allowing Mother Moon to heal, inspire, and revitalise us. It is time to reflect on what has gone and manifest our dreams.
When working with the phases of the moon, the New Moon is a time to plant the seeds of our heartfelt desires and consciously tune in to how we are feeling both physically and emotionally.
NEW MOON RITUALS & SPELL WORK
Journaling:
The New Moon is a time of reflection, so not dedicate a little time to writing down your thoughts and feelings.
Grab yourself a cup of tea, put some gorgeous music and spend some time checking in with you.
Cleaning & Cleansing:
This lunar rebirth is a time of new beginnings and a fresh start, this includes our sacred spaces. Before the New Moon is at its highest point, why not take some time to clean and cleanse your home, work space or even yoga space.
Once you’ve spent some time cleaning, use your favourite incense or sage sticks to cleanse your space. A fantastic and magical tool to use is ‘Black Salt’, renowned for it ability to protect, purify and block negative energies from your space.
Heart Chakra Spell:
Sometimes the New Moon can bring up emotions within us as we release anything that no longer serves us. Once the Heart Chakra has been unblocked we need to rebuild the protection around it. This super simple spell is a beautiful way to embrace the lunar energy to help heal and revive us; opening the heart for more blessings that we deserve.
Manifest Your Dreams:
A perfect pairing with the New Moon energy is creating a vision board! Taking the first step towards your dreams and manifesting your hearts desires; a simple spell but a vital one when working with intentions and manifesting.
