During the new moon, we rest, recharge, and set intention. There is a mystery in the new moon as she is just starting out on her journey of growth. So, we plant and water seeds as we grow with her while she comes into more fullness over the next two weeks. The dark and stillness allows us more space to go inside with our emotions and listen. 

The new moon can’t work its magic in isolation. We can only bring in the new if there is enough space for it, so it is important to release at the full moon to prepare for bringing fresh energy in. 

This is a time to be soft and ground and to find harmony with the Earth element. Getting quiet by meditating, being in nature, and being in receptivity support this part of the cycle. This is also a time for new creation before it is shared and can be brought in with the Air, Water, and Fire elements. New Moons are a time for opening your heart and seeing the world with a beginner’s mind. Anything can happen.

Mantra:

With heart open, I listen more deeply and move toward new creation that serves my highest good.
