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.
Your Ritual Crystals Can Also Be Your Jewels. Wear them throughout the lunar cycle for extra support.
Guide your answers into an effective intention by stating an affirmative response. I am manifesting…I am creating…I will…I see myself…
If you can focus on these ideas, the New Moon Eclipse Equinox Mabon is the perfect time to assess what is working and recalibrate what isn’t so you can move forward toward your intentions with a clear plan.
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.
Crystal Grid Ritual for Beginners + Healers
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.
The upcoming full moon on August 9 is a great time to let go of things that are holding you back. Think about the parts of your life that don’t feel like you anymore—whether it’s old habits, expectations from others, or routines that no longer serve you. This full moon is an invitation to rediscover your true self, underneath all the roles you play.
Take a moment to consider what your heart really wants. This moonlight can help you see what you’ve outgrown and guide you back to your inner creativity and passion. Trust your own instincts and embrace the person you are meant to be.
Think back to the beginning of the year, this season mirrors and amplifies what we called into our lives at the start of the year, in January’s Aquarius. The New Year’s dreams, goals, and desires. Tap into the collective to receive love, energy, and knowledge you need to keep your vibration high and keep evolving into your highest timeline and greatest version of yourself.
Let’s Create a Full Moon Ritual!
✨Sit on the floor or outdoors and create a semi circle around you with crystals you want to energize, program, and work with this cycle.
✨Make two columns, list things you are letting go of this season and also some intentions. They could be continuations of last season, from January, or last July because we honor the divine timing of our manifestations, and we realize there is a lot in the universe that needs to align before our intentions come true! So don’t worry about repeating what you are writing time and time again.
✨Hold a crystal and speak individual intentions to it to hold that energy and vibration.
✨Find a good spot, in your yard, porch, deck, where the moonlight will hit.
✨Crumple up your paper, safely burn it or burry it.
✨Set out your crystals overnight, let them seal your thoughts, wishes, desires, feelings, and be open to their support and love to hold you through this outside cycle of the moon and inner season of your life. Upon waking up, collect your crystals and keep them close.
Consciousness is magnetic. Where you focus you flow. Elect to hold high quality thoughts, emotions, wishes and beliefs.
If you’re moving thru emotions and feelings this cycle, that is something you can focus on too. In examining frustration, jealousy, anger… you’re able to work through that lower vibe and move through it with grace. Call on support if you want it!
We are part of an Infinite loop of creation, energy, motion, emotion, belief, that is aligned with our thoughts. Trust that and tap into it. We are part of a larger community.
We are Love We are Worthy We are Enough.
This ritual helps us flow with Moon Cycles to Dissolve Overwhelm & Prevent Burnout
When we stop forcing ourselves into rigid schedules that drain our energy, clinging to old rules in a masculine system, when we stop thinking we need to be productive and “on” all the time, we become more in tune with Gaia and her cycles. Once we work with natural rhythms that amplify our intuitive gifts and restore our souls, then we also have time for creativity, productivity, work, and performance.
It is time to shift our vision toward where we are headed and upgrade our thoughts as we dream a new dream for ourselves…
this FULL MOON in AQUARIUS is here to catalyze our awakening…ruled by URANUS and his thunderbolts of illumination, we might suddenly see things in a new light, find solutions or shift the way we have been thinking. Enjoy this time and use your crystals for loving support.

The Full Moon marks a significant checkpoint, aligning with the energies initiated by the New Moon in Leo on August 4th. As the Leo/Aquarius axis is illuminated, it beckons us to consider the balance between the prevailing ME culture of Leo and the communal WE culture of Aquarius. This moment offers an opportunity to reflect on the tension between individuality and interconnectedness, inviting us to explore our roles within the collective consciousness.
Notably, this Full Moon is in close alignment with Uranus at 27°11 Taurus, heralding a period where we must anticipate the unexpected and remain open to profound and irreversible change. To embrace true progress, we must prioritize a dedication to truth over the need to be right. All too often, the dominance of ego inhibits our ability to comprehend and integrate emerging realities.
Put Your Crystals + Jewels in the Middle of Your Crystal Grid
Rather than succumbing to shock or fear when confronted with truth during this cycle, I encourage you to welcome it as a “Truth Bomb”. Allow this revelation to shatter the confines of your current reality, freeing your mind and liberating your spirit. Choosing to accept and integrate such truths can elevate us to a state of profound freedom.
At its core, it is imperative to remain committed to the truth, placing it above the desire to be right. By embracing this perspective, we open ourselves to a path of transformation and growth, navigating the currents of the Full Moon in Leo with grace and authenticity.
Intention Ritual with Crystals + Jewels
make an altar with water, a crystal, a candle, incense (you can also include any seasonal objects that feel inspiring or creative) and a ritual offering (a special candle or incense, fresh bread or grain, cakes, wine or spirits, tobacco, honey, flowers)

You may participate in cyclical time by honoring this current lunar cycle we are in. During this Full Moon, consider mindfully laying out your crystals and jewels on the windowsill or outdoors overnight to cleanse and recharge.
Consider making Moon Water.
Journal. Think about your intentions you set into motion when this cycle began on August 4th, the New Moon in Leo. Are you still aligned? Do you need to course correct? Do you need to release what is not resonating in your heart anymore? Write down your thoughts and feed your soul.
Creating a crystal grid or art is a good way to honor this time.
Enjoy the night sky and be open to opportunities for healing and connection with your spiritual side and Source. Peace, love, and crystals, Vanessa
