New Moon: A Blank Canvas for Your Dreams

New Moon: A Blank Canvas for Your Dreams

The new moon marks the very beginning of the lunar cycle and lasts around three days. From here, it’s roughly two weeks until the next full moon, and the energy begins to subtly rise again. Where the dark moon was stillness and closure, the new moon is the quiet inhale before creation - a soft but powerful reset point.

This is where you continue the work from the dark moon and use all of the wisdom you gained from being in the darkness, from the deep emotion and soul searching.

Everything you processed, released, or understood in the days before now becomes the foundation for what you choose to build next.

Believe in yourself and your hopes and dreams; the new moon is like a blank canvas upon which you can create anything you want. It’s at this time that you can get the most clarity on what you want in life and, most importantly, how you can get there.

There is a purity to this phase - an openness, a sense of possibility that hasn’t yet been shaped or influenced by the rest of the cycle.

You will find that your intuition and self-awareness are still heightened at a new moon and you are able to be clear and focused on what you want and need. This clarity is your guide.

It’s where your intentions are formed, where your inner vision shines brightest, and where the seeds of a new chapter are planted.

Under the new moon:
• Make a soul-vision board.
• Create some intentions and affirmations.
• Vision and dream your ideal life daily.

Give yourself permission to dream without limits here. Even small, steady intentions take root powerfully under a new moon.
