The Meaning of the New Moon
The full moon is usually the moon that gets all the attention. The one that everyone looks forward to. However, the new moon is just as magical as the full moon.
During a new moon, the earth, moon, and the sun are positioned in a line. The moon is between the earth and the sun, that’s why we don’t see the new moon in the night sky.
The new moon symbolizes new beginnings, fresh starts, renewal and reflection. The new moon provides an opportunity to connect deeper with our own intuition. A time to reflect and align ourselves with our soul’s purpose.
During a new moon, take time to reflect back on your previous goals and either re-commit to them or create new ones. Use the new moon energy to meditate, journal, organize and plan your next move.
New moons are a perfect time to set intentions for things you would like to create, develop, and manifest. So it is a good idea to write down your intentions for the upcoming month and ask the universe for assistance in realizing them.
To help you set your intentions and goals, you can create a new moon ritual. This is similar to the full moon ritual I discussed in a previous post.
NEW MOON RITUAL
Find a quiet place where you will not be interrupted
Cleanse your space. You can use sound, sage, incense, or cleansing sprays.
Ground Yourself (here is a post I did on grounding)
Light a candle
It’s time to start writing. Write down what you truly desire in your life. Be specific in what you want to achieve. It’s also a good idea to only have a few goals.
After you have finished writing your goals, say them out loud with intention. Be clear and be strong. Remember, you are telling the universe what you truly want.
When you are done, it’s important to express gratitude. Believe in your heart and soul that what you desire is being granted.
Now is the time to act, to take steps that move you forward towards your goals.
