The New Moon is an invitation from the universe to begin anew. It's that silent moment in the sky when the Moon disappears from our view and, at the same time, new energy begins to emerge. For those seeking change, this is the best starting point, a monthly opportunity to plant new intentions, redirect focus, and manifest what you desire.
But did you know that each New Moon occurs in a different sign, activating a specific area of your life according to your birth chart? It's as if, with each cycle, a new portal opens in an astrological house, bringing a different theme for you to work on, such as love, finances, career, self-care, spirituality, and more.
The energy of the New Moon, seeds in the dark
In astrology, the New Moon represents the beginning of a new emotional cycle. It's like a seed being planted in the earth, still invisible, but full of potential. This is the ideal time to set goals, visualize desires, and align your actions with your truest dreams.
That's why New Moon week is so powerful. It's a time to write, visualize, and plan, but also to commit to what you want to see blossom in the coming days and months.
Ritual, create your manifestation moodboard
A simple and transformative practice for this phase is to create a manifestation moodboard , a visual display of your desires and goals. You can do this in two ways:
-
A manual with magazines, scissors, glue, and a sheet of paper to paste images, words, and symbols that represent what you want to experience. Consider including landscapes, phrases, objects, people, colors, etc.
-
Create your dashboard digitally using PowerPoint, Canva, or any other presentation tool. You can then use it as your mobile or computer wallpaper to keep your intentions visible.
The tip is: let your mind dream, but choose images that truly touch your heart. A mood board isn't just pretty; it's a visual reminder of what you're co-creating with the universe.
Crystals, candles and symbols, enhancing your intention
To strengthen the ritual, you can use stones and crystals that vibrate with the energy of the New Moon sign . Each sign has its own qualities, and using the corresponding crystal amplifies that frequency during the manifestation process. Here are some examples:
-
Aries , garnet or red jasper (initiative, courage, leadership)
-
Taurus , rose quartz or jade (security, love, abundance)
-
Gemini , Agate or Citrine (mental clarity, communication, creativity)
-
Cancer , moonstone or selenite (intuition, welcoming, emotional protection)
-
Leo , Tiger's Eye or Orange Calcite (radiance, self-esteem, personal expression)
-
Virgo , Amazonite or Fluorite (Organization, Balance, Clarity)
-
Libra , green quartz or pink tourmaline (harmony, beauty, emotional connections)
-
Scorpio , obsidian or garnet (transformation, intensity, emotional depth)
-
Sagittarius , Sodalite or Lapis Lazuli (expansion, wisdom, spiritual vision)
-
Capricorn , Onyx or Hematite (focus, structure, stability)
-
Aquarius , Amethyst or Labradorite (inspiration, innovation, connection with the future)
-
Pisces , aquamarine or amethyst (spirituality, surrender, connection with the invisible)
You can also light a candle that matches your sign or the intention of your ritual. For example, a gold candle for self-confidence, pink for love, blue for balance, or green for prosperity. Symbols of the moon, stars, or spirals also help anchor the feminine and creative energy of this moment.
The part that nobody talks about, manifestation with action
It's important to remember that manifesting isn't about waiting for miracles; it's about participating in the magic . The New Moon opens paths, but you're the one who needs to walk them. So, along with your mood board and rituals, ask yourself:
-
What am I willing to change in practice?
-
What real actions can I take this week?
-
How can I align myself with what I'm asking for?
Spirituality is strengthened through practice, and the universe moves when you move too.
In short , every New Moon is a new opportunity. By understanding the sign in which it occurs, you can better direct your intentions. Creating a mood board, using crystals and symbols are beautiful ways to anchor your desires. But above all, it's your attitude that turns dreams into reality.
Use the upcoming New Moon as your portal of transformation and remember, magic is intention with action.
