HANDY MAGICKAL THINGS TO DO FOR THE NEW MOON

I love New Moons, and the potential they offer us. Full moons get a lot of hype (you know, the whole magical, lunacy thing it has going on) but if you want more bang for your buck, find out when the New Moon is and tap that energy. Every New Moon has a theme, a mood and a lesson. Depending on which sign the New Moon is in, and where it falls in your chart, and how it affects your rising and sun sign is key to knowing how to make the New Moon Magicks work for you.

First? Lets get your tools.

What you need:

Pen/paper – write down what you hope to plant the seed for during this New Moon

Candle – this depends from month to month depending on which sign the New Moon falls in

Herbs/Oils- same applies for candles.

This New Moon falls in watery Pisces. The role of Pisces in astrology is the subconscious.

For this New Moon, I would advise choosing a white or blue candle. The herbs I would choose is lavender and jasmine. These are truly magical herbs, and will open up your intuition, leaving you open to magical influences. I would recommend putting a little rosemary in the mix; rosemary is earthy and grounding…we don’t want you getting so caught up in all the pretty things this Pisces New Moon has to offer that you lose all sense of grounding.

Once you have your candle, hold it in your hand and think about what you would like to plant the seeds for during this New Moon, and what you would like to manifest. Get your  herbs/oils, rub it on the candle. If you don’t have any essential oils, use olive oil on the candle. I tend to use dried herbs on my candles. I would make sure to get a shorter candle to burn, since it needs to burn to its completion for it to truly be potent. If you are worried about burning your house down, put the candle in your kitchen sink. That should keep it safe enough.

That’s easy enough.

In general, for New Moons, I like to make sure to get some cinnamon sticks to burn. They burn very slow, with little to no flame. It’s more of a gesture. Cinnamon is great for drawing in love, passion, protection and money. It’s a herb associated with fire, so it’s great to give a boost to any project.

I like to make sure I put a little rose oil essence and peppermint oil in my shower gel. Peppermint is great for protection and prosperity, while rose oil is a must; after all how can you manifest anything if your heart is not open? Rose oil will help you with that, as well as helping you create with love, and attracting love into your efforts. The first few days of a New Moon is especially potent, so use these days to shower with the magic concoction.

Have fun manifesting.
