How to Manifest with the New Moon
A 5-Step Ritual for Setting Powerful Intentions
The New Moon is a powerful time to manifest your deepest desires, set fresh intentions, and align with the energy of new beginnings. In this blog, I'll share a simple new moon ritual to help you connect with your new intentions, the universe, and your higher self. This manifestation practice will deepen your connection to intention-setting and amplify the power of manifesting, no matter your experience level.
Before Starting your New Moon Ritual
It's important to prepare your space before starting your new moon ritual—it's like setting the stage for magic to unfold. Take a moment to create a sacred space that feels aligned with your intentions and vibrates with positive energy. This manifestation practice helps to clear away stagnant or unwanted energy, making way for fresh, high-frequency energy to flow. Start by saging or smudging the area to cleanse and purify. Light a candle as a symbol of your intentions, and gather supportive crystals to amplify the cosmic energy of your ritual. By preparing your space, you're creating a portal of alignment, signaling to the universe (and your higher self) that you're ready to co-create something extraordinary.
What you’ll need:
A journal or notebook and pen
Your favorite crystal for the new moon
Sage, palo santo, or incense for cleansing
A candle for setting your intention
Oracle or tarot cards (optional, for additional guidance)
New Moon Ritual:
Write Down Your Goals and Intentions. The first step in manifesting with the New Moon is clarity. Take time to journal and write down your intentions for the month ahead.
Be Specific: The universe flourishes on clarity. Avoid vague goals and instead be very detailed and specific to your intention(s). For example, instead of writing, I want abundance, say, I am receiving $5,000 in new income this month.
Use Present Tense: Act as though your desires are already manifesting. Words carry frequency and energy, so using phrases like I am... or I have... signal to the universe that you are ready to receive.
Focus on Love, Not Fear: Ensure your intentions come from a place of love and positivity. For instance, instead of saying, I want to stop feeling stuck at work, try, I am excelling in my career and excited about my opportunities coming this month.
Connect with Your Crystal. Crystals are incredible tools for manifestation. If you have a favorite crystal, hold it or wear it as you begin your ritual. Bonus: Use a crystal suggested for the new moon as this will amplify the energy and your intentions.
Feel Its Energy: Close your eyes, hold your crystal in your hand, and take a few deep breaths. Notice the energy you are experiencing—does it feel warm, cool or do you feel tingling sensations?
Build a Relationship: Crystals amplify intention, but like any alliance, they flourish on connection. Set the intention to align with the crystal's energy and invite it to help you manifest your desires.
Align with the Energy of the New Moon. Each New Moon falls under a specific zodiac sign, bringing unique energy to your manifestations.
Learn About the Zodiac Sign: In the monthly moon blogs, the zodiac sign for each New Moon is shared. You can also find crystal recommendations and affirmations.
Step Into Alignment: Visualize yourself embodying the traits of the sign, allowing its energy to enhance your intentions.
Call Upon Your Spirit Team. The universe is always listening, and your spirit team— Angels, Guides, God, your higher self or whoever you call upon—is ready to assist.
Speak Your Intentions Aloud: Read your list of intentions out loud with confidence and passion. Repeat them three times to solidify your message to the universe.
Express Gratitude: Close by saying, Thank you, thank you, thank you. This phrase not only embodies gratitude but also signals trust that your desires are already in motion.
Send Your Intentions to the Universe. Once you've completed your manifestation work, it's time to let go and trust.
Sacred Space: Fold your paper with your written intentions and place it in a special place, such as an altar or sacred corner of your home.
Crystal Amplification: Place your crystal on top of your intentions to amplify the energy further. This physical act symbolizes your trust in the universe to fulfill your wishes.
Bonus Tips for Enhancing Your New Moon Ritual
Carry Your Crystal: Keep your crystal with you or wear it for at least three days after the New Moon. This helps maintain the energetic momentum of your intentions.
Pull a Card: Tarot or oracle cards can add insight and guidance to your intentions. Pull a card before starting to set the tone or after completing the ritual to gain clarity on what's unfolding.
