The Moon represents feminine energy and our deepest personal desires and needs. It signifies wisdom, intuition, birth, death, reincarnation, and spiritual connection.

The spiritual meaning
New Moons are traditionally about new beginnings. A new beginning, always with our eternal spirit in mind. The New Moon is a birth and it represents the start of a fresh new cycle, a chance for us to wipe the slate clean and set forth on a new chapter. It is all about planting seeds for the future and allowing our roots to take hold in the earth below us in order to create something new.
The day of the New Moon our emotional needs (Moon) aligns with our “will to be” (Sun). The New Moon is the time to set our intention for the coming month, be it for a new project, idea, plan, thought, new habit, relationship, job, etc. This is the day to invite change into our lives and be open to new possibilities. There’s a pioneering quality and innocence to the New Moon and it’s also a vulnerable time of unknowing.
We need to use the energy of the New Moon for an intense reboot and switch our thinking and see if we can view things differently. It is the time to reflect on what we want to do away with and what we want to bring with us into this new chapter.
It’s during a New Moon that we can ruminate on our decisions, on our experiences, and rejuvenate ourselves so that we can start all over again. Every New Moon brings an opportunity to transform our lives with a brand new lunar cycle, a time when we can put our goals into action and make our dreams a reality. This is why the New Moon is the perfect time to meditate, journal, organize, and plan our next move.
The New Moon’s purifying energy is there to aid us in our reflection. Allow ourselves to retreat and regain our strength as we recharge under that energy. Use it to manifest and to send our wishes out to the Universe; make lists, write down dreams and visions and think about things in a step by step manner. When we do, we are going to notice a whole host of opportunities blossoming for us.
So what are you waiting for? Get your candles, your favorite crystal, some sage to burn and your journal and dig into some serious reboot, cleanse and intention setting ritual. We are the co-creators of our destiny. While we may not be able to control all circumstances, we can control how we choose to handle them.
