Hello, Moon Child,
The New Moon is your sacred reset — a moment to pause, breathe, and plant new seeds for your healing and growth. It’s the quietest phase of the lunar cycle, yet it holds the most power. This is where your transformation will begin.
If life has felt heavy or uncertain, let this New Moon remind you: you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be open.
Last week we talked about the lunar cycles and how you can step into your moon journey. Let’s talk about the new moon that just passed and see how we can begin the first step into your moon journey.
The Energy of the New Moon
The New Moon represents renewal, reflection, and intention. It’s your invitation to start fresh — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.
This phase encourages you to:
Release what no longer serves you
Set clear, heart-centered intentions
Reconnect with your inner peace and purpose
Think of it as turning a page in your personal grimoire — a blank space ready to be written with love and intention. Don’t be afraid to reshape a goal (a focused intention) or start fresh all together. This moon cycle is all about rebirth. Starting new with what resonates with you and do away with what does not.
However, this doesn’t mean that you have to completely wipe the slate clean and restart. Sometimes, it’s about reshaping or redefining what needs to change so it can be improved. Additionally, it’s a good way to refocus on what steps are needed to reach our goals.
New Moon Ritual: “Planting Seeds of Intention”
You’ll need:
- A candle (white or black for new beginnings)
- Paper + pen
- Optional: a clear quartz or moonstone
- Sit in stillness and take three slow breaths. Feel the calm of the dark sky above you.
- Write down 1–3 intentions for this lunar cycle. Be specific — focus on feelings, not just outcomes. Example: “I call in balance, self-trust, and healing.”
- Light your candle and say aloud: “Under this New Moon, I begin again.
I trust my path will illuminate within.” - Place your intentions somewhere sacred — in your moon journal, altar, or under your pillow.
Each time you see the Moon grow brighter, remember: your intentions are growing too. Take the steps forward to see them through.
Message from Archangel Gabriel
Archangel Gabriel, the messenger of clarity and inspiration, reminds you to listen to your inner voice.
This is a time to quiet the noise and reconnect with your truth. As a result, the lunar cycles should help you become mindful or conscious of your actions, feelings, and behaviors throughout you spiritual journey.
Whisper this affirmation:
“I am open to divine guidance and new beginnings.
My voice and vision are clear.”
Trust the signs that come your way this week — an angelic number, a dream, a sudden feeling — they’re gentle whispers from your higher self and Archangel Gabriel that change is coming.
Final Thoughts
The New Moon is your reminder that darkness isn’t the absence of light — it’s the space where new light is born. Let yourself begin again, softly and fully. Now is a good time to start that moon journal from last week’s post. Especially since this is the beginning of a new lunar cycle. Through The Phases has a beautiful post on how you can set one up.
Release the things that are holding you back. Reshape the goals you have that you’re not reaching. However you go about your ritual is up to you. Therefore, you should begin each journey how you see fit.
Your healing starts here, under the quiet glow of possibility. 🌑
