New Moon Ritual for Setting Intentions
The new moon is the ideal time to plant the seeds of your desires. This ritual will help you focus and give a powerful energetic start to your goals for the next lunar month.
Best time
On the night of the new moon or up to three days after.
What you will need
- White or silver candle
- Sheet of paper and pen
- Glass of water
- Crystal of your choice (e.g., [clear quartz](/learn/crystals/clear-quartz) for clarity or moonstone for intuition)
Ritual steps
- Preparation: Find a quiet place. Light the candle to illuminate your intentions. Place the glass of water in front of you to symbolize the new cycle.
- Reflection: Close your eyes for a few minutes. Think about what you want to attract or begin in the next 28 days. What are your goals? What new beginnings do you want to set?
- Writing intentions: On the sheet of paper, write up to 10 intentions or goals. Write them in the present tense, as if they are already happening (e.g., "I attract a new job with ease," "I am confident and calm").
- Activation: Read each intention aloud. After each one, say "So it shall be." Place the crystal on your list to amplify the energy.
- Completion: Fold the paper and place it in a safe spot where you can see it (e.g., on your altar, in your journal). Let the candle burn out. Drink the water, imagining yourself filling with the energy of new beginnings. You can review your list over the following days.
