This New Moon is a time for purifying our bodies and souls, and preparing for the new beginnings, the turning of The Wheel, the Equinox, the autumn.  The wise ones tell us that this New Moon is  

Spending some peaceful time connecting with nature can help you utilize this New Moon momentum in a flowing way.

New Moon Intention Ritual

As often as you can, bring yourself back to the present through grounding yourself with your ritual crystals.  

Select the crystal(s) you’re working with this time around. Hold them in the palm of your hand(s) and focus inward, silence your thoughts and drop into your heart center. Our hearts tell us where our attention should be directed and has the map to living a limitless life. 

“How we choose to spend our time at the moment of an eclipse is said to create the seeds as a new cycle begins,” 

Cynthia E. Honores, Astrologer

With your crystals, ask yourself What do I still want to achieve before the end of the year? This new moon’s darkness reminds us of shadows and release. This is your time to course correct, reset your priorities and plant the seeds of intention. Reflect and create intentions, not goals but feelings. Drop into your heart center and follow what lights you up, what makes the time fly, what feels in alignment with your heart, steps on your soul path, following your true north. 

With your intentions of what you want to: Focus On, Surrender To, Feel, Create, Receive, and what you want to call into your life. You can make an accountability statement, plan actions or begin practices needed for your seeds of intentions to bloom and support your future growth, harvest, and successes. 

Once you have a few intentions in mind, write them down. Maybe you want to safely burn them in a ritual fire. 

Locate where in your home you usually see moonlight flood in. I like gridding my crystals out on my deck or under a skylight where I’ve seen the moon above earlier in the month. 

We are going to grid our crystals, infusing them with our new intentions for this lunar cycle. 

Pick up each crystal individually. Hold a crystal in your hands, close your eyes, and spell your intention out loud. 

Place crystal mindfully down, on a windowsill or grid, and leave them there to cleanse and charge overnight. Remember to collect them the next day, preferably before the morning sun greets them.

Use your programmed crystals throughout this cycle to remind you of your manifestations, to feel their loving vibration of support for your highest timeline and greatest version of yourself, to know you are apart of something greater- the oneness of the universe. 

Consciousness is magnetic. Where you focus you flow.  Elect to hold high quality thoughts, emotions, wishes and beliefs. What you focus on will be magnified. This moon is perfect for setting new intentions and breaking thru old barriers. Ignite your soul by aligning your thoughts, emotions, wishes, and beliefs with your heart.
