You may not realize it, but the phase of the moon has an effect on you. Whether it’s a waning moon or a waxing moon, the phases of the moon each have a different influence and the new moon is an extra special phase. It has to do with resting, letting go, and making new plans. It’s essentially the opposite of the well-known Full Moon, which involves finishing projects, celebrating, and inviting people into your life. Would you like to know more about this moon phase? Then read on!

What is New Moon?

When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun it is called the New Moon, meaning that the so-called dark side of the moon faces the Earth making it invisible to us in the night sky. It is the first phase after the waning crescent moon phase and therefore marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle.

Meaning New Moon

The first phase of our Moon represents the ending of the old and the beginning of something new. This is when you have the power to look within yourself and confront  old emotions and feelings that have stayed with you for all too long. Try to let them go, because now is a great time for a new beginning!

New Moon Spiritual Meaning

Behind every moon phase there is also a spiritual meaning. The new moon represents the manifestation of dreams. Manifesting means making your wishes come true. Due to the fresh, positive energy that the new moon brings with it, your desires and goals are clearest to you during this phase.

New Moon Ritual

Each moon phase also has a different appropriate ritual. In order to focus on the new during the new moon, it can be good to perform a ritual to help you manifest your dreams. Of course, as with most moon magic, you can adjust the ritual to your own preferences. Below is an example of a new moon ritual, in five parts:

  • Supplies
  • Preparing Space
  • Cleansing
  • Manifesting
  • Closing

Supplies

For a ritual, you’ll need to collect some tools. For example, think of Gemstones, a Journal, Sage, or Incense. Gather things that you intuitively feel have a renewing vibe.

Preparing Space

Before the ritual takes place, experts recommend preparing the room. Get rid of things that are in the way or do some cleaning. This gives you a tidy feeling, so that your concentration during the ritual is top notch!

Cleansing

An important part that should not be forgotten is thorough cleansing. Removing negative energy can help to make your ritual its most effective. You can spiritually cleanse  very well with White Sage Smudge. For example, cleanse gems, the room’s energy, or your altar with this holy herb. In this way you purge the negative energy that may be hanging there and interfering.

Manifesting

In order to manifest your dreams, you must be able to visualize them. The first step for this is to write down your wish on paper. Then place the paper in the direct moonlight, so that the wish can absorb the energy of the new moon. Save your wish until the next new moon so that if you have the same wish, you can perform the ritual again with the power of two new moons. Then, to yourself or out loud, express your gratitude that the wish you wrote down has come true. As a result, you already live in the end result, as if it has already happened!

Closing

End the ritual with a good intention. Express your gratitude for what you have already accomplished in life, in any area. This will leave you feeling good about the potential you carry into the coming month!

Aquamarine is the Gemstone for this Phase

Each moon phase has a certain gemstone that can help you to channel the energy of the moon and use it as best as possible. Aquamarine belongs to the new moon. This gemstone, according to experts, can help sharpen your mind and make purposeful decisions. It could give you perseverance and keep you focused on your new intention. The gemstone could also reduce fear of failure, making you more inclined to start a new project. Dare to take action together with Aquamarine!

New Moon Influence on Humans

The influence of the moon can be different for everyone. For example, are you Highly Sensitive? Then the different phases may feel different to you than for people who are not. During this phase, your strength will mainly lie with the new. As a result, you may notice that you are brimming with energy, unable to sit still and find yourself wanting to get started on new projects. What you’ll focus this energy on will depend on which constellation the new moon is in. This phase is a great time to make your home spic and span. This makes room for new energy and you can leave all the negative baggage of the previous month in the dust!

New Moon Astrology

The Moon, like the Sun, appears in a certain sign of the zodiac. While the Sun takes about a month to move from one constellation to the next, his little sister only takes about two to three days, so significantly faster. However, when New Moon does appear, she is always in the same sign as her big brother Sun, unlike Full Moon who always appears in the opposite sign. Because of its relation to the Zodiac, the new moon has a different meaning and purposes every month!

When is the New Moon?

This phase starts about two weeks after the Full Moon phase. It marks the beginning of a brand new moon cycle, which is, of course, where its name comes from. It is roughly a new moon when the sun moves from one constellation to another.

Charging Stones New Moon

Every new moon phase is a good time to Cleanse Gems and Charge Gems. Recharging gems is necessary from time to time, because they loose potency over from absorbing negative energy. You can recharge them by exposing them to the moon phases. Please cleanse your gems before charging them. This way, any negative energy is gone from the gemstone and its positive energy can be restored!
