Themes For The Aries New Moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the strong, independent, brave, passionate, aggressive ambitious, and steadfast sign of Aries the ram. Aries it the first sign of the zodiac which makes it the go-getter of the Zodiac. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries symbolizes new beginnings, assertiveness, and the pursuit of our passions. It’s ruled by Mars, the God of war, making the ram a fearless fighter. Aries is a fire sign, and its energy is passionate, dynamic, and driven.

Through the sign of the Ram, we tap into our inner fire, embody our inner warrior, and work on developing a conscious relationship with our anger. The New Moon in Aries presents an excellent time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Ram. We connect with our capacity to be the leaders of our lives, to take paths that no one ever walked before, to go toward the direction that instinctively calls us.

While the Moon is in Aries, we all are a little bit faster to react. We’re all a little bit more intrigued by doing something we’ve never done before. We’re all a little bit more willing to take a risk or take a gamble by pushing into the unknown. We all feel like we’re at the beginning of a major cycle during the Aries New Moon. Let’s explore some of the themes and energies of Aries a little deeper below.

Aries The Primal Sign Of Passion

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac which means It is the big bang, our life force, the element of fire, primal passion, anger, rage, and ruled by Mars the God of War- this sign is the sign of life itself. It is the spark needed to light the tinder for existence to evolve. It is our will to persist no matter what obstacles are in our way. This sign is a Cardinal sign which means it is a leader, an initiator, and a visionary of the cosmos.

This New Moon is also a time to embrace our inner warrior. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, passion, and aggression. During this New Moon, we may feel a surge of energy, passion, and assertiveness. We can use this energy to break free from old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. We can assert our boundaries, speak our truth, and take action toward our deepest desires with the flames of burning passion.

Aries The Sign Of Assertive Ambition

Traditionally New Moons, especially Solar Eclipses in Aries are associated with powerful new beginnings. This fiery energy makes us feel very assertive, enthusiastic, ambitious, and ready to be back in the game. Spontaneous Aries is about jumping in and taking risks without being overly concerned about the outcome. Don’t worry about commitment, and let discipline come naturally whenever it’s needed. In fact, allowing yourself to make mistakes provides the freedom required for new things to be discovered.

The Sun is exalted in this feisty fire sign, making Aries season one of the best times of the year to initiate new things and launch new projects. This New Moon encourages us to take bold action toward our goals and ambitions. It is a time to set intentions and make plans for the future. With the fiery energy of Aries backing us, we can approach our goals with courage and confidence.

Aries The Sign Of Independence

This sign is also a sign of independence which means it’s a time to focus on what YOU really truly want for YOU and not for others. You will feel many things coming up for you that may surprise you especially if you are a people pleaser. The energy of Aries really pushes you to think about what makes YOU and YOU alone happy and whole. Aries Moon draws fire into the atmosphere, stimulating life force and vitality. You’re alive, filled with your own thoughts and it’s all about you right now.

One of Aries’ “lessons” is to show a pure part of ourselves to the world. By acting upon our own inner impulses (constructive ones!) without fear, and by abandoning the need to refine these impulses based on what others might want us to do or what others think we “should” do, we learn more about ourselves. If we learn to depend on ourselves, we exude an all-new aura of strength that comes from personal integrity and confidence, and strength.

Aries The Sign Of Renewal And Rebirth

New moons are generally a time of new beginnings, planting seeds, and rebirth. The energy of renewal is even more emphasized now in this new moon, as this is the first New Moon of the Astrological year, and Aries as an archetype is associated with initiation, risk-taking, rebirth, and new beginnings. With the positive power of a solar eclipse, this also heralds unexpected opportunities and groundbreaking fresh starts which heal old wounds.

Aries New Moon And A Solar Eclipse

A Solar Eclipse appears when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking out the light of the Sun. It’s considered to be three times more potent than a regular New Moon because it’s happening in close proximity to the Lunar Nodes of Destiny. During a solar eclipse symbolically, the energies associated with the Moon eclipse those of the Sun, so that feelings and emotions dominate over the ego and the will.

Eclipses bring about energy of great change meant to shake things up. To create an intense time of great transformation, rebirth, and growth. A solar eclipse specifically is a time of new beginnings, taking initiative, and starting brand new things like jobs, businesses, projects, and relationships. This energy is all about change, transformation, good luck, growth, and abundance. This energy is known to change the wheel of fate and awaken things for us.

Despite the fated nature, Eclipses should not be feared but welcomed as a source of evolutionary change that leads to a powerful yet often uncomfortable, and even painful transformation. This Total Solar Eclipse in Aries marks the start of a brand new cycle of personal and collective evolution, bringing an energy of initiation that invites transformation, awakening, and redemption.

What To Be Cautious Of With The Aries New Moon

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of explosive anger and outbursts. The energy of Aries is grounded in Mars, which is all about aggression, war, and conflict. So, take the time to stop and think before you let the little things allow you to blow up right now and create conflicts in your life by making small things bigger than they need to be. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, and connected to who you are so your emotions don’t allow you to wander from your goals, let your ego get in the way, or allow your anger to create conflict with others.

Ritual To Connect To Your Anger

Working with our anger can be a powerful, potent, and liberating experience. Anger in and of itself is not a negative. No emotion is negative since every emotion serves a function and is sending us a message. How we use our anger is what determines whether it’s constructive or destructive. As the Aries new moon summons your inner warrior, think of your anger as a battle cry to pay attention to your boundaries, your passions, and your unmet needs and/or desires. If you’ve been letting someone push you around, it’s time to address the unworkable behavior and create a new way of interacting. Don’t be afraid to simply just let some pent up anger out as well by just letting a scream, yell, shout, or cry out to mother nature and the cosmos.

Use the journal prompts below to connect to your anger in a quiet sacred space. You can amplify the affect right now by having a red, orange, or white candle burning next to you as you do this work. The candle will help you connect to the element of fire, the planet mars, and the energy of Aries. Once you have completed the prompts below, you can than take the answers and burn the list in your candle flame to release any of the unwanted and negative affects of the anger you have been harnessing during this session. Don’t forget to visualize you harnessing your anger in a productive and constructive way in the future to manifest it into you life as you are also releasing the unwanted affects.

  • How does my anger hold me back?
  • When was the last time you felt very angry and what was the trigger?
  • What happens to your body when you are angry?
  • Are there any behaviors you do when you are angry you are not angry or happy about?
  • How do you currently handle anger? How would you like to handle your anger?
  • Do you have areas in your life you need to harness your anger to be more assertive?
  • Are there areas or causes in your life you need to harness your anger for the sake of justice and protecting others?
  • Is your anger being mistaken for something else? Like loneliness, hurt, passion, assertiveness etc.

Working With The Creative, Compassionate, Spiritual Pisces Super New Moon

We are entering a new lunar phase this week; the New moon. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel her influence over our moods and intuition shift. This new moon we will find ourselves in the creative, spiritual, compassionate, empathetic, and dreamy sign of Pisces. Pisces is the clairvoyant of the zodiac. It is a sign with a deep sensitivity to those around them and heightened sense of intuition. The new moon in Pisces is an opportune time to initiate change, take action towards goals, and renew oneself. The Moon beginning her cycle in the whimsical sign of the Fish stirs our passions and imbues us with courage to pursue our desires.

New moons are an opportunity to start fresh, plant seeds, and envision your future—and this month’s new moon in Pisces happens to be the last new moon of the astrological year. In other words? Consider it time to set your “New Year’s” resolutions for the astrological year. For me this is the third time during the year I set year long resolutions.

You may find that you feel this particular transit more intensely than others ( I know I am) as this New Moon is a Super New Moon – the point where the Moon is at its closest point to Earth. Super Moons tend to amplify the impacts we might ordinarily feel. Now have this moon be in Pisces and you can expect this Moon to be an intensely emotional one. This is also the second Super New Moon in a line up we are about to experience over the coming months.

Keep reading to learn all about this Pisces new moon, how it will affect you, and how you can harness it in your life and magical practice. 

New moon What is it and why we honor it? 

First, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we dive into the depths of what a Pisces moon can do for you and your life. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to  set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. Every  intention set requires action and energy from your part as well.

Themes Of The Pisces New Moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the dreamy, creative, and spiritual Water sign Pisces. Pisces is also a Mutable sign, the most adaptable and flexible of the signs. That means that you’ll be better equipped to handle any of the emotional sensitivity or mood swings that typically accompany a New Moon. You’ll also be better prepared to find creative solutions to any challenges or issues you’ve been facing because you’ll feel both more creative and better able to go with the flow.

If the Pisces fish can teach us anything, it’s that there are no wrong paths. The two fish of Pisces swim in opposite directions, and yet, their journey is a circle meaning they will eventually both land in the same place.

Pisces The Most Potent Time To Manifest

Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. We can also reflect more on the past, but in a less emotional way, and get more understanding. This New Moon activates a deep desire to take a leap of faith and accept life’s imperfections to make our wildest dreams a reality. We are living through a powerful time period when all planets are direct until the end of April. There is a sense of things finally beginning to move forward after a prolonged period of stagnation.

The New Moon in Pisces is a time of healing, a time of magic, and most importantly, one of the most potent times to practice manifestation work. That’s because Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination and mysticism, which means you’ll not only be more connected to your creativity but also your spiritual center. You have the opportunity to slip into the flow of life now. When that happens, you want what is happening and what is happening is what you want. Your manifesting is working perfectly

Pisces The Sign of Creativity

The Pisces New Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily. The energy of Pisces guides us to go with the flow, to be less concerned with planning and plotting, and instead, to bring ourselves into the present moment. While we may not have all the answers and be in a state of unknowing, this New Moon reminds us that this is where our creative powers lie.

Pisces The Sign of Compassion and Empathy

Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with the New Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can’t help themselves. At the center of the Pisces New Moon lie themes of healing, kindness, and sensitivity. This lunar phase invites us to nurture our emotional well-being, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and embrace the healing power of love and forgiveness. You can utilize the energy of this New Moon to create a better relationship with yourself, which is the jumping-off point of confidence and success.

Pisces The Sign of Spirituality

Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. It is an energetic frequency that dissolves boundaries, allowing us to tap into the collective consciousness and access deeper layers of intuition.

Pisces The Ruler of What’s Hidden

Pisces rules what’s hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, and can work well alone. While we may want to be of help, we can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. It encourages us to tap into the realm of dreams and imagination, to envision a future aligned with our soul’s purpose. Pisces inspires us to imagine the future we want.

What To Be Cautious Of With The Pisces New Moon

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of emotional overwhelm. Pisces energy can easily blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality, leading to confusion and escapism. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, to honor our emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to cultivate practices that promote inner peace and clarity.

Release Your Emotions With Worry Water

The ritual I am brining to you for this emotional, expressive, and intuitive new moon in watery Pisces is a simple one it may seem, but it is a favorite of mine to do whenever we are in a water sign no matter the lunar phase. Water signs open up such a deep, potent portal to our emotions in the most intuitive and compassionate way. This portal allows us to view some emotions we may not have been able to see in the depths before Pisces floats them up to the surface for us to see. This ritual even has more power behind it with Pisces being the sign of hidden things in the depths of our subconscious.

Even though this is a new moon and about planting our seeds of intention and setting us up for manifestation I feel it’s always important and crucial to maintain balance and do a little bit of release work when you want to manifest or plant intentions. That way you have a clear image to visualize and focus on what you want to manifest. So, let’s learn how to release our emotions by making worry water.

All you will need for this is a bowl of water its best if it is in a clear bowl and bonus energy if it is moon water. And than a quiet space you can be alone and uninterrupted for a little while. If you like to have candles, crystals, incense, or tools when you enter sacred space those are optional for you to use here as well.

How to perform this ritual and make worry water

  • Go to the spot you can get into sacred space. Get into a comfortable position with your bowl of water in front of you.
  • If you are using extra tools like candles you set up your tools now and light candles or incense if need to.
  • Take some deep breaths in and out as you began to visualize protective, compassionate, expressive, energy entering your space and enveloping you.
  • As you feel that energy around you look into the bowl, you can even touch the water or pick the bowl up if you feel the desire to, than speak, whisper, or even yell all of your stresses, worries, fears, secrets, hidden emotions and hardships into your bowl of water.
  • Allow the element of water to absorb all those feelings, those unwanted energies and things, and hidden emotions you may have rushing thru yo. Allow it to transmute those emotions into healing, growth, and awareness.
  • Once you feel you have released all the emotions you need to into your bowl of water you can thank it for being a place to absorb and transmute all of this for you, than take your bowl of water and either dump it down the drain, flush it down the toilet or pour it out to the earth if you can.

If you would like more ideas for rituals you can check out my Pinterest page, my Facebook page, and watch any of my previous moon celebrations here; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeHvi9fxqgzRx1cIX1vfLMDVVtPYzKvl1&si=ppeNd5wwT6saWEdf and you can read more in a previous blog post here https://modgepodgemystic.com/working-with-the-new-moon/.

However you choose to connect to this new moon and work with its energy be prepared to experience the depths of your emotions, and allow yourself to go with flow of where they lead you to unlock your intuition, compassion, creativity and your wildest of dreams.

This astrological sign brings progression, liberation, innovation, and world-mindedness.

Even though it is commonly mistaken for a water sign due to one of its most well know symbols the water bears it is actually attached to the element of air.

Ritual to uncover your dream life

With this new moon in Aquarius being all about big change and fully stepping into your dream life see below this auto scripting ritual to uncover and reflect on what you want your true authentic dream life to look like. I don’t know about you, but sometimes my biggest set back to manifesting my dream life is because I don’t truly know what it is I want to manifest. And if you can not know it or see it how can you manifest it? So, here is one of my favorite rituals to clear up the murkiness and allow me to clearly see what it is I dream to manifest and this Aquarius energy is perfect to do that in.

Remember you can always adjust and change this to meet your own path, practices, and needs.

  • First step is make sure you have a writing utensil and something to write on. You can have just one sheet of paper but, I usually grab a journal or a notebook since I never know how much writing will come out.
  • Next, find yourself a comfortable place to sit, where you can be alone and enter sacred space
  • Once, you have found your space it’s time for you to take some deep breaths, center yourself and feel grounded in who you are in this moment.
  • When you feel grounded, centered and in scared space its time to pick up your writing utensil and set your intention for this session. You can do this by speaking out loud to the universe what topic it is you are asking to receive a message about this session. So, this session you will be asking to receive a message about what your authentic selves dream life looks like.
  • Than you simply let your writing utensil go whether you answer with journal prompt, a list, doodles, it does not matter just simply let the first things that come to your mind flow from you pen with zero hesitation and judgement.
  • Do this until you feel you have let it all be expressed on the page.
  • Once, you feel this you can put your writing utensil down, and take in all you have written. Absorb the messages you find there and make any notes of any further reflection needed.
  • Lastly, do not forget to thank yourself and the universe for the message you received and were open to receiving today.

However you choose to connect to this new moon in Aquarius be prepared for the deep life altering change coming your way and being introduced to the most authentic version of yourself that can advanced the greater good of humanity.

Working With The New Moon

The Sacred Meaning of the Moon

 Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures  and traditions. 

The Moon moves quickly through the Zodiac, spending about two and a half  days in each sign. 

It passes through all twelve signs in about 28 days. 

Some nights, at the time of the Full Moon, we admire its beauty and grandeur. 

Other nights, when it starts to fade, it becomes thin and inconspicuous, so  different from the peak of its fullness and magical glory. 

Ever-changing lunar cycles remind us of the cyclical nature of life itself. 

The Moon’s physical power is demonstrated by the phenomenon of ocean tides,  which are generated by the moon’s gravitational pull.

It’s a well-known fact that the human body consists of nearly 60% of water on  average. It only proves that the moon has the power to influence our physical  and mental states, just as it influences ocean tides. 

The profound connection between Moon cycles and human states of being has  been observed throughout the centuries.

Moon Phases and Their Meanings 

The Moon constantly passes through the cycle of growth and decline, and the  phases of the Moon are different parts of this never-ending cycle. 

They are much more than just astronomical phenomena; they have a deep  symbolic meaning. Understanding each stage of the Moon cycle can help guide us  on our journey of personal growth and development. 

The full Lunar cycle consists of 8 phases: 

• New Moon 

• Waxing Crescent 

• First Quarter 

• Waxing Gibbous 

• Full Moon 

• Waning Gibbous 

• Third Quarter 

• Waning Crescent To simplify things, it’s recommended to work with two main phases of the Moon:  New Moon and Full Moon.

New moon What is it and why we honor it? 

The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to  set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. Every  intention set requires action and energy from your part as well.

The new  moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The  new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a  time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these  intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon.

Use this time to  rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across  many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to  use.

 Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month.

Check out some of my FREE Moon celebrations with Divination Academy on youtube in the links below to see some of the specific differences for the new moon in each zodiac sign! You can also check out my study guides here https://modgepodgemystic.com/resources/

What to Avoid on a New Moon 

1. Isolation: especially if you’re manifesting new friends or a  partner, avoid keeping yourself isolated on a new moon. This is a  great time to get out and build new connections! Check out a new  environment, meet new people and put yourself in places that  align with the life you’re manifesting. 

2. Spending Time Around Negativity: the new moon is a time where  we want to focus on the things we want. We’re planting seeds,  setting intentions and planning out our action plan for  

manifestation. Avoid people and places that carry a negative  energy or will bring you down. 

3. Giving Up on Something: the new moon isn’t the best time for  release. For releasing, giving up and letting go, try to align with  the full moon instead.

Foundations of working with the new moon

There are so many ways to work with the new moon, below I will go through the basics of new moon workings but, remember each new moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the new moon is spec

1. Set Intentions 

One of the best rituals for manifesting on a new moon is by setting  intentions for the month ahead. 

Grab your favorite journal and write out the following: 

• What kind of energy do I want to experience over the next  month? 

• What do I desire to manifest the most in this moment?

• What action steps can I take towards achieving that dream?

• Write out your goals, hopes and desires for the following month.

2. Start Something New

If you’re looking for the perfect energy to start something new (like that  business idea, that blog, or that new yoga routine) the new moon is the  perfect day to do it. Be intentional as you begin and focus on WHY you want  to start that new adventure.

3.New Moon Candle Manifesting Ritual 

To do a candle manifestation ritual on the new moon, you’ll just need a few  items: 

• Candle: I recommend chime candles, beeswax candles, or even  birthday candles.

• Anointing Oil: Resonance Apothecary makes a beautiful one and  so does Art of the Root, I recommend their Road Opener Oil.

• Manifestation Herbs: bried basil, cinnamon, sage, rosemary, rose, are all good options. Mountain Rose Herbs is my go to  for organic, wild-crafted herbs. 

Dress your candle with the anointing oil of your choice (you can also  substitute the anointing oil for aligned essential oils you may have on hand).  Once your candle is dressed in the oil, roll it in the dried manifestation herbs  of your choice. Next, find a good place to light your candle. As it burns, gaze  into the flame and visualize your manifestation coming true. Focus on how  you’ll feel when it happens. Allow your candle to burn all the way down (use  a birthday candle if you don’t have time to monitor a larger one). Give  gratitude for your practice and the elements assisting you.

4. Scripting 

Scripting is a manifestation technique you can use to journal out your  desires. To do so, simply write a gratitude letter to the universe, giving  thanks for the details of your manifestation coming true. Be sure to write in  present tense. 

For example, “Dear Universe, I am so grateful that XYZ has become my  reality. Thank you for assisting me in making this dream come true. I am  celebrating this accomplishment (be specific) by xyz.” 

Write a thank you letter to the universe, expressing gratitude for your  manifestations as if they already happened.

5. Make a Crystal Grid 

Making a crystal grid is a great way to harness the powerful manifestation  energy of a new moon.

T O C R E AT E Y O U R O W N N E W M O O N C R Y S TA L G R I D : 

1. Get clear on what you’d like to manifest with this new moon and  set an intention for your grid. 

2. Choose crystals that align with what you’d like to manifest. (hint:  citrine for success and wealth, rose quartz for love, black  

tourmaline for clearing or protection, clear quartz for amplifying) 3. Lay the crystals out on a surface where they will be safe and  won’t get disturbed. You can arrange them in a traditional grid  pattern or even just a shape that feels good and inspiring to you. 4. Using your hands, draw a line connecting all the crystals in your  pattern- this helps to connect the crystals with each other and  charge the intention of your grid. 

5. Meditate with your grid (maybe as you drink your ceremonial  cacao!) and allow it to stay out for the entire lunar cycle- referring  back to it when you need a reminder of your new moon  

manifestation intention. You can use a crystal grid cloth to inspire your crystal design, or just follow your  heart as you place your crystals in a formation that resonates with your new moon  manifestation.

Best Crystals for New Moon  Manifesting Rituals 

• Selenite– Connecting to our angels, clearing our space  and our aura 

• Citrine– Good luck, attracts abundance, success and an  overall good manifesting stone 

• Labradorite– Amplify and strengthen spiritual awareness 

• Moonstone– New beginnings & protection 

• Rose Quartz– Promotes and attracts love • Clear Quartz- Amplifies our intentions and manifesting  ability

6. Make a Manifestation Box 

Simply fill a dedicated box with items that represent what you’d like to  manifest, and place it on your altar or in another meaningful space in your  home.

7. Make a Vision Board 

Similar to a manifestation box, a vision board is a compilation of images and  words that represent what you’d like to manifest. To make a vision board as  part of your new moon manifestation ritual, gather images (real or digital)  and arrange them into a collage on a large piece of paper. You can add words that represent what you’re manifesting or words that represent the  journey you’d like to experience manifesting. Hang your vision board in a  place where you’ll see it everyday and can be reminded of it.

8. Make a Manifestation Jar 

Similar concept to the manifestation box and vision board, making a  manifestation jar is a fun ritual you can do to call in your desire. 

T O M A K E A M A N I F E S TAT I O N J A R : 

1. Gather your supplies: a glass jar, paper + pen, crystals, herbs and  items that represent what you want to manifest. 

2. Write your manifestation goal down on the piece of paper. Bonus  tip: using a real graphite pencil is a magical way to use elements  that strengthen the magic of what you’re manifesting. 

3. Place your paper in the jar, along with the other items you’ve  collected (crystals, trinkets, herbs, feathers) 

4. Seal the jar by fastening the lid and dripping melted candle wax  around the close. 

5. Optional: Leave your jar out under the new moon so it can be  infused with the energy of fresh beginnings. Then place it on your  altar or in another safe place where you’ll see it often and be  reminded of your goal. 

6. Take some time each day to focus on your goals. Visualize yourself  achieving them and thank the universe for bringing them to you. 

9. Do a Bay Leaf Manifestation Ritual I have a whole article on this here: Bay Leaf Manifestation Method, and this  is a great ritual to practice under the new moon! Simply write down what  you’re manifesting on the bay leaf, then burn it as you focus on your  intention. Be sure to use a fire-safe bowl or cauldron

10. Make New Moon Water New moon water is great to have if you want to create a room mist, add  some magic to your bath, or drink to fill your vessel up with your new moon  manifesting intentions. click the link below to read my blog post for a detailed look at how to make moon water and its benefits to your practice.

11. Attend or Host a New Moon Circle  Gathering in a circle is a powerful, ancient tradition you can recreate today  in honor of the new moon. Get together with some friends and take turns sharing around the circle what your intentions are for the new moon. You  can discuss what you’d like to manifest, and what aligned action plans you  have to make it happen.

12. New Moon Tarot or Oracle Reading 

An easy new moon ritual you can practice by yourself or with others is  pulling some cards. Whether you prefer oracle or tarot, asking the following  questions and pulling cards to answer is a fun way to get intuitive guidance  influenced by the new moon energy. 

Q U E S T I O N S T O A S K : 

• What steps do I need to take to accomplish my goal? 

• What should I focus on to stay aligned with my path and higher  purpose in manifesting?• Is there anything I need to watch out for or be mindful of as I  manifest my desires?

Calling down the moon & The four corners

Mother moon I call to you

Tonight your energy is new

Give me your power this faithful night  

I invoke you into my being and souls 

Fill up my vessel and make me whole

I cherish the gifts sent from above 

I welcome growth 

I welcome transformation  

So mote it be 

Amen
