New Moon Rituals for Beginners and Experts - The Forest Wellness (2023)

This post may contain paid links.Find more information in my post.

I like to follow and respect the cycles – from seasonal transitions to sunrises and sunsets. Every month, sometimes twice a month, we celebrateNew moon. It's time to begin.I hope these new moon rituals for lunar newbies and experts help you find ways to take advantage of this monthly reboot.

I also wrote about itRituals of the Full Moon, which you can use at the other end of this lunar cycle.

A new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun and the side of the moon that faces us does not receive direct sunlight; it is lit only by faint sunlight reflected from Earth.

What does the new moon mean spiritually or energetically?

The new moon is a time to set intentions, while the full moon is a time to reap the rewards.

The new moon may not always be visible to the naked eye, but it still radiates enough energy to mesmerize people. For many, this promising opportunity means a new beginning in setting new goals for themselves.

The power behind this powerful moon phase is known to have such a powerful effect on relationships and attitudes that people gather to start new moon rituals to stay focused.

While we're not sure these astrological practices will radically change the course of your life, we encourage beginners to at least try these steps to create rituals for self-care and elimination of negative thoughts.

Note: I know these are not pictures of a new moon, but a crescent moon, but there is a lot to see with a real new moon.

Parts of the New Moon Ritual

Explore the new moon

For starters, it's important to know what astrological sign the new moon is in. Each month, the moon goes from invisible, full, and then invisible again in 28 days. Such phases provide different energy levels that last several days, before and after the event for a period of three days. With each new moon, you say goodbye to the last phase and welcome another with renewed energy.

You can find out what sign the moon is in at any time, including your birth, using onemoon sign calculator.

The place of the new moon ritual

Finding the right spiritual place is really based on your intuition and where you are both physically and spiritually. Try to create a space where there are no distractions and where you are completely relaxed. Allow decorations such as incense and fairy lights, over time only if you are sufficiently inspired and not in a hurry.

I like to celebrate the new moon outside during the new moon. If this is not possible or desirable, try to find a place near a window where the new moon can shine, however weakly.

Don't let the perfect location stop you, anywhere you can have some privacy for yourself or your group is fine.

Collect your moon tribe

Sometimes I like to celebrate the cycles of the moon alone, sometimes I like to invite friends. Inviting a few friends to celebrate can deepen the ritual and add support.

There is an added bonus of accountability if you share your intentions and check in with each other.

Set New Moon Intentions

Try to limit the number of intentions to only those that you can realistically achieve, instead of setting impossible goals with big numbers that you cannot even dream of achieving.

As your confidence muscle grows and you practice new moon rituals month after month, you can dream bigger and set bolder intentions.

It may be a good idea to set intentions for:

• New Moon Ritual for Manifestation
• New Moon Ritual for cleaning / cleansing
• New Moon Rituals for Healing
• New Moon Rituals for Love
• New Moon Rituals for Money

The possibilities for new moon rituals are endless.

Make a list of New Moon intentions

The best way to express your New Moon intentions is through handwriting, especially during the New Moon when something authentic needs to be captured.

Recording is crucial, so don't skip this step.

Keep a pen and journal handy to write down your intentions as they arise. This also allows you to look back at the ones you've done before.

A regular notebook will work fine, but if you want something more tailored for lunar ceremonies, I like these guided journals:

Monthly magazine- uses the movement of the moon to connect readers with nature and to reflect on dreams, goals, relationships and more. Filled with easy, informative astrological explanations and helpful guidance for managing your thinking based on the cycle of the moon, this journal invites readers to create change, set intentions, and manifest more in life. Also available onAmazon.

Lists of the month– Structured according to the changes of the moon, this guided journal invites weekly reflection over a year and a half on writing instructions and suggestions with references to astrology, architecture and art. The perfect gift for yourself or a friend, this beautifully designed journal helps expand all aspects of your creative, personal and emotional self. Also available onAmazon.

Other ideas for a new moon ritual

These rituals are performed during certain phases of the new moon to use its power to achieve certain personal goals. It can be about everything from romance to job opportunities and health.

Keep a talisman with you until the next new moon cycle as a reminder of your good mood. It can be any object such as a doll, ring, crystal or pendant.

Based on your desire, you can try these new moon rituals:

New Moon Ritual for Vacancies

• Turn on a green light
• On a piece of paper, make a detailed list of the type of job you are looking for. If you don't know what the specific job is, write down the qualities you're looking for, such as "being your own boss," "high creativity," or "interesting and cooperative coworkers."
• Insert the sheet into the green envelope with the candle and place the envelope and candle where they are always visible, for example on a moon altar (more on moon altars below). Or put it in one of theseNecklaces with intentionalways be nearby.
• Alpunamonth, light the candle and burn the envelope and its contents. You can manifest your dream job by focusing your intentions on the two strongest days of the lunar calendar.

New Moon Rituals for Relationships

• Light three red lights
• Sow some seeds in a small pot filled with soil and drop a piece of rose quartz into the soil.
• On one page, write a detailed list of the things you are looking for in your romance. On
  conversely, make a list of the qualities you look for in a partner.
• Seal the paper in a red envelope.
• Place the red envelope under your pillow or on the moon until your plant gets big enough
  plant outside or as a houseplant. (Or put it in one of theseNecklaces with intentionalways be close.)
• Every time you pass a plant or check an envelope under your pillow, think about it
  the blossoming of your new relationship.
• Burn the envelope and bury the ashes when you replant or transplant your plant.
  

Bath ritual at new moon

• Prepare your new moon bath with four white candles, symbolizing the four corners of the compass.
• Write four intentions for the month and put them all under the candle.
• I really enjoy using itMoon tea for the bathroomfor my new moon bath ritual. You can also add white sage leaves and Himalayan sea salt to your bath. (You can have ithe Amazon)
• Drop into the bath and relax as long as you like.
• Think about your intentions and visualize them coming into being.

Essential oils for the new moon

Whether you add essential oils to your bath (skin safe of course!) or diffuse them in itnon-plastic essential oil diffuser, certain aromas are ideal to use during the new moon.

• Lavender— help to express wishes and intentions
• sage— find clarity, expand your vision and think big
• Patchouli- to connect with the higher self and aid in manifestation
• Citroen- too intense focus in creative time

Make a new moon change

Another fun and meaningful thing I like to do at a New Moon ceremony is to make an altar. You can do this as part of a party or on your own.

• Find a spot near a window or outside. (I choose a place that will be bathed in moonlight on a full moon, as this altar meets all my moon change needs).
• Add items such as pictures of loved ones, precious objects, crystals, or anything else you consider sacred or special.
• Anything that reminds you of the moon or that you find beautiful belongs on the altar.
• White and green candles add a nice touch. Use candles from your business intentions or new moon baths.
• I also place the intention envelopes on the altar before burning.

I'd love to hear what other ideas you have for celebrating the new moon.
