How To Manifest With The New Moon

There’s no question that the various stages of the moon have a big impact here on earth! (Just ask any doctor or EMT their stories about the full moon!)

So it only makes sense that we can also harness that power to help strengthen our manifesting intentions!

In my mind, manifesting and magic are the exact same thing! And moon magic is as old as the hills.

The full moon gets most of the attention but the new moon is actually much more potent, especially for manifesting purposes.

While full moons are all about letting go, new moons are about growth and making way for the new.

(As a Scorpio – the sign of death and transformation – this idea has extra potency for me!)

The new moon is the perfect time to set intentions and wishes for yourself, for the next month and beyond.

So here’s my step-by-step instructions for how to set new moon intentions:


How To Set New Moon Intentions


Manifest With New Moon Step #1:

Check Your Timing


It’s best to perform your new moon ritual directly on the new moon! But if life gets in the way of that (as it so often does!) try to compete it within 48 hours before or after for the best results.


Manifest With New Moon Step #2:

Clear Your Space



Physically cleaning your space is always wonderful way to usher in some new energy!

I would take this the extra step and conduct a space clearing with sage or palo santo to shoo any lingering negative energy away.

Just be sure to concentrate on the feeling of releasing what no longer serves you as you move the smoke through your space.

(See my complete guide to energy clearing here.)


Manifest With New Moon Step #3:

Ground Yourself



Take some time to tune into yourself before you begin your intention-setting ceremony.

Feeling connected and grounded during a ritual is a power move in and of itself! It’s up to you to manage your energy so take the time to do some breathing exercises or visualizations before you begin.

A simple visualization I like to use is simply picturing white light going through the crown of my head down into my feet on the floor. Just spending a few minutes like this will do wonders to center your energy!


Manifest With New Moon Step #4:

Feel Into Your Wishes



Before you commit to writing your wishes on paper, take a moment to sit in silence contemplating them.

What does it feel like when you think about them? How would it feel if you had achieved them? Really listen to your intuition here as it’s also heightened during the new moon!

Your wishes should always feel uplifting and happy, not confining or dark. If something feels off, maybe put off your wish for next month or try to think of an alternative.


Manifest With New Moon Step #5:

Make Your Wishes



Write each wish down on a piece of paper. This is one instance where a computer just won’t do! If you want you can get fancy by using colored paper or pencils, or creating a drawing to go with them.

You get up to 10 wishes. Don’t go for more than 10 or you’ll dilute the power of the ritual.

As for what you should wish for, that’s entirely up to you. But you’ll probably notice that at some times your wishes are concentrated on one or two specific areas of your life and at other times they are much more diverse. That’s a natural pattern so don’t overthink it! Just go with what seems right to you in the moment.

(Psssst – it’s also a wonderful gesture to always reserve one or two wishes for a global issue, like clean water or world peace.)

Think of your wishes as seeds that you are planting (and remember that seeds all grow at different rates). So no, your wishes might not all come true within the next 30 days.

But through this ritual you are transforming tiny thoughts into actions–and that’s powerful! So trust that you’ll reap every reward at a later time.


Manifest With New Moon Step #6:

Release Them



Now it’s time to say your wishes out loud. Writing them out is one way to begin making them real; speaking them just continues to amplify this energy.

Just read through your list normally (a few times over if you like). Concentrate on holding the energy of your wishes as you say them.

I also love to amp this up by physically releasing them as well. I highly condone a little fire ritual, by setting light to the paper when you’re finished (over the sink or fire-proof vessel though of course!). You could also bury your paper in the earth or set it free in a body of water.

Some people hold onto their wishes to review them at the next month, so this step is entirely up to you!


Manifest With New Moon Step #7:

Close It Out



Finally, close things out by offering up some gratitude or leaving an offering of some kind.

I like to leave incense or tealights burning somewhere (safely) but offerings definitely don’t have to be physical! Dance, sing, or recite a poem if the mood happens to strike. You can be as creative as you like here just as long as you remember to say thank you in some fashion.

Rituals are all about what works best for you, so there’s no need to follow this ceremony to the letter. If you only have a few spare minutes for your ritual, light a few candles, and get to it! Working with magic is never all or nothing and if you have to make some changes, so be it. As always, your intention is the most important part of the process.




Happy New Moon intention setting! I hope this ritual gives you some ideas for this new moon and beyond! Let me know your new moon ritual experiences and please remember to share this post if you found it useful.

And now for a quick message from your Higher Self: And now for a quick message from your Higher Self:Love yourself enough to LET IT GOBreathe deep & have a happy Sunday my beautiful babes!
You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.

What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yours What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yourself?💜To not CRAVE that outside approval or validation?To forget about other people's opinions or what they say behind your back?To not motivate yourself to move TOWARDS something only because you cannot stand where you are?This just goes to show that as much as we all LOATHE to admit it, so much of what we do is based off of artificially leveraging ourselves UP.If so-and-so would only say "good job"If that person would LOVE meIf I finally did [ insert arbitrary goal here ]THEN I could finally feel good and actually TRULY love myself.Sometimes we all get our wires crossed on this at times. (Myself included!)We focus on the future fantasy that our issues will MAGICALLY disappear once X/Y/Z happens.And we chase the things outside of us, forgetting that the ONLY place our true happiness lies is within ourselves.I'm here to warn you:You could run the whole race of life and NOT get what you think you need from other people.You could meet milestone after milestone and still NEVER feel like you measure up. 😩ORYou could start being enough, right here, right now.Enough = you as you are, flaws, mistakes and all.Enough = you without anyone else.Enough = you.💗Happy Thursday Conscious Creator friends!

It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to fe It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to feel good all the time.And that's okay!Not gonna lie: the last month or so has been rough for me.The darkness of winter + strict lockdowns/limited holiday celebrations were TOUGH.I've definitely had my moments of letting it all get to me.But that doesn't mean anything has gone wrong.It doesn't mean that I'm somehow failing.And it definitely does NOT mean I'm putting more space between me and my manifestation goals.Even with the BEST of intentions, life is 50/50. Expecting perfection at any time will ONLY set you up for disappointment.Feeling frustrated, down, exhausted: those are all normal feelings for anyone experiencing a pandemic (plus general winter blues/ political chaos etc.)So while I don't want to create MORE of those feelings, I'm also not going to judge myself for having them.Making your feelings WRONG does not speed you up back into feeling better. It only creates self-loathing and resistance.Are you feeling the same? Here are a few things that are helping me right now:- Just letting myself cry if I feel like it (Sometimes 10 minutes of a good cry is a sufficient release!)
- Concentrating on pandemic-lockdown friendly goals that I CAN achieve (Doing pilates every day, meditation + Manifestation Journaling)
- Taking a break from drinking (I only drank about once a week anyway! But why not try going without it for a month?)
- Doing more behind-the-scenes entrepreneur stuff (The kinds of things that are so easy to put off for "someday")
- Using my SAD lamp every morning! (I only just got it but I swear it's helping)
- NOT judging myself too harshly if I suddenly don't feel up to doing the work I had planned or posting as much I "should" (Being an entrepreneur brings an EXTRA level of potential self-judgment that's hard to get out of at times.)This is all just a great example of one of the most important lessons of LIFE.You don't get to choose all your circumstances. But you DO get to choose what you do WITH them.What are you choosing to create right now? Whether you're in lockdown or not, I'd love to hear it!
