The moon has always been our celestial guide — she moves the tides, influences our emotions, and reminds us that everything in life moves in cycles. 🌙

Working with moon energy helps you align with these natural rhythms — releasing what no longer serves you during the Full Moon, and planting new intentions with the New Moon. It’s a sacred, soothing way to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner self and the universe.

🌑 The New Moon — Planting Seeds of Intention

When the sky is dark and the moon disappears from sight, it’s a time of new beginnings. The New Moon marks the start of the lunar cycle — a moment to turn inward, dream, and set intentions for the month ahead.

🌸 New Moon Energy:

  • Fresh starts 🌱

  • Intention-setting

  • Clarity and focus

  • Self-reflection

  • Manifestation planning

🌿 How to Hold a New Moon Ceremony:

  1. Create a Sacred SpaceLight a candle, burn some sage or incense, and lay out your crystals — especially Moonstone, Clear Quartz, or Labradorite.

  2. Set Your IntentionSit quietly, close your eyes, and think about what you want to invite into your life — love, healing, abundance, or peace.Write your intentions on a piece of paper, using positive language (e.g., “I am open to new opportunities that support my happiness and purpose.”)

  3. Visualise and FeelPicture your intentions as if they’ve already come true. Feel that joy, that peace, that confidence as energy glowing around you.

  4. Charge with Moon EnergyPlace your intention paper under a crystal (Moonstone or Clear Quartz work beautifully) and leave it overnight to soak in the lunar energy.

  5. Gratitude and TrustThank the universe for its guidance — then release attachment to the outcome. The seeds are planted; now let them grow. 🌱

🌕 The Full Moon — Release, Reflect & Recharge

As the moon becomes full and bright, her energy peaks — illuminating what’s been hidden and inviting you to release what no longer serves you. It’s a powerful time for letting go, healing, and transformation.

🌕 Full Moon Energy:

  • Emotional release 💧

  • Forgiveness and closure

  • Gratitude and reflection

  • Spiritual cleansing

  • Recharging crystals and energy

🔮 How to Hold a Full Moon Ceremony:

  1. Cleanse Your Space and SelfBurn sage or palo santo, open a window, and clear the air. You can also bathe with Himalayan salt and essential oils to reset your energy.

  2. Journal and ReflectWrite down what’s been weighing on you — old habits, limiting beliefs, emotional clutter. The full moon’s light helps you see them clearly.

  3. Release RitualRead your list aloud, then safely burn or bury it, saying:

    “I release all that no longer serves my highest good.”As you do, imagine those old energies dissolving in the moonlight.

  4. Charge Your CrystalsLay your crystals outside or on a windowsill overnight to absorb the moon’s luminous energy.

  5. Meditate Under the MoonSpend a few quiet minutes outside. Let the moonlight wash over you, feeling her calm, feminine energy restore your balance and intuition. 🌕✨

🌕 A Gentle Reminder

You don’t have to follow strict rituals — simply creating a few minutes of stillness to honour the moon’s energy is enough. Whether you write intentions, light a candle, or simply sit beneath her light, you’re tuning into something ancient, sacred, and powerful.

Each moon phase offers an invitation — to begin again, to let go, and to flow with life’s natural rhythm. 🌸

🌙 Final Thoughts

Working with the moon helps us remember that growth isn’t linear — it’s cyclical. The moon teaches us that it’s okay to shine brightly, to rest, to renew, and to evolve.

So next time you see her rise, take a breath, whisper your gratitude, and feel the energy of her light guiding your path. 🌕💫
