A New Moon Ritual: By Your Request, For Your Journey
From my heart to yours, completing our luminous lunar journey of reflection and creation
Hello, beautiful souls, 👋✨
It fills my heart with such joy to know how deeply many of you have connected with my Full Moon Journaling Guide! I've received some truly touching messages, and a few of you even reached out, wondering if a companion for the New Moon might be on its way. Well, dearest ones, your whispers have been heard!
In the post below, I'm offering my personal New Moon Ritual of Sacred Creation journaling guide. This practice is truly a culmination of many years, born from my own life journey through countless lunar cycles, involving deep recording, revisiting, and ultimately, empowering my embodiment of the wisdom that has served me most.
Creating this New Moon guide alongside the Full Moon one helps us embrace a truly complete circle within the lunar cycles. It provides beautiful signposts for reflection, guiding you in closing loops from the past and consciously carrying forward the gorgeous light and momentum. It's a profound way to identify recurring patterns, release what no longer serves, and plant your intentions with even more energy and clarity.
BONUS: AI Prompt
Now, to make your New Moon contemplation even more vast and connective, I've also created something truly special: an AI prompt designed to effortlessly gather detailed information on the specific New Moon cycle!
This powerful little tool helps you instantly understand the energy of the planets, the Human Design Gates, and the Gene Keys relevant to each New Moon; you can also reuse it with each one 🔁.
This prompt has become such a valuable companion for me. Instead of spending precious time researching each cycle, it allows me to invest that energy and attention more deeply into my reflection and my own learnings. It does a beautiful job of checking multiple sources I've provided it, offering a truly holistic overview that warms me from the inside.
If you feel called to bring this ease into your own practice, you can find this AI prompt and learn more about it by clicking here👇:

Embrace the Silence: A New Moon Ritual of Sacred Creation
Dearly beloved, feel the tender whisper of the New Moon gracing the velvet canvas of the night.
She is not yet illuminated, but within her deepest darkness lies the potent void of pure potential, a fertile ground for planting the seeds of your highest dreams. Just as she begins her quiet ascent, so too does your spirit beckon you to initiate new cycles, to align with your deepest truth, and to call forth that which yearns to blossom from within you.
The New Moon invites us to linger in her hushed embrace, to release the echoes of what no longer serves, to listen to the gentle stirrings of our soul's desires, and to consciously imbue our intentions with the luminous energy of our authentic design. This is a sacred initiation, a profound invitation to connect with the very genesis of creation.
For this ritual, take a moment to commune with the moon's nascent wisdom and the radiant blueprint of your own heart.
This current New Moon is in:

Releasing the Old: Clearing Sacred Space
Before we plant new seeds, my dear, let us honor the wisdom of completion and clear the sacred ground of your being. The void of the New Moon is not only for new beginnings, but also for gracefully concluding what has been, creating fertile space for the fresh energies you wish to invite.
Take a breath, and cast your gaze back to the Full Moon approximately six months ago, the one that shared this same astrological sign.
The last Full Moon in this same sign was in:

✨ Allow your heart to guide you as you ponder these gentle reflection queries:
What was present within my life journey then? What were the themes of energy (planetary transits, Gene Keys, Human Design Gates, etc) present?
What came to its radiant culmination then? What lessons were illuminated, or what narratives reached a point of powerful clarity or release?
What echoes from that earlier culmination (perhaps a belief, a pattern, or an outcome) are you now ready to gently release, integrate, and allow to dissolve, clearing the path for truly aligned new beginnings?
As you reflect on what had culminated, consider where you might have operated from conditioning rather than your authentic design. What "not-self" expressions are you now ready to lovingly release from that previous cycle?
Consider perhaps even performing a simple physical act: clearing clutter in your space, tidying your altar, or cleansing your aura with intention, to symbolize the purification of space for the new.
Soulful Foundations: Attuning to Your Design
✨ Now, let us attune to the magnificent architecture of your own being.
Before setting specific intentions, deeply connect with how your unique energy is designed to create and manifest. This is about how you move through the world, rather than just what you want to achieve.
In what ways might you be holding onto external expectations or conditioning that don't align with your true blueprint? What can you gently decondition or release to make space for your authentic flow?
For Human Design Embodiment: What is your inner Strategy and Authority calling you to do (or not do) in this moment? Are you being asked to initiate, respond, inform, or wait? What does your inner decision-making guidance whisper? (Perhaps reflect on a specific Gate that feels active for you now, or the one currently activated.)
For Gene Keys Contemplation: Consider a Gene Key that feels particularly relevant to your current journey. What 'shadow' aspect of this energy might you be unconsciously expressing? Can you sit with this shadow, not to fix it, but to truly see it and allow its energy to transform into a higher expression? (Perhaps reflect on a specific Sphere that feels active for you now, or the one currently activated.)
Seeds of Intention: Cultivating Your Desires
✨ From this space of clarity and alignment, let us now plant the sacred seeds of your intentions. Be clear, be present, and allow your desires to bloom from your most authentic self.
What luminous goals or dreams are stirring within your heart right now? What about them are so deeply important to you?
What do you truly wish to call into your life in this new lunar cycle? Frame your intentions in the present tense, as if they are already unfolding. (e.g., "I am embracing...", "My life is flowing with...")
Close your eyes and deeply visualize your intentions already manifested. How does it feel in your body, your heart, your spirit? Linger in that sensation.
Craft a sacred statement or affirmation that encapsulates your core intention for this cycle. You can write this upon a small 3x5 notecard and carry it with you, reading it often, whenever opportunities arise.
Inspired Steps: Aligned Action & Trust
✨ The New Moon invites action, but not forced pushing. It calls for inspired, aligned steps that honor your unique energy flow and trust in the unfolding process.
What is the most loving, aligned action step you can take now or in the coming days that feels like a natural extension of your intentions and your design? (Think small, gentle, and true to your Strategy & Authority, rather than a forced effort.)
Where might you be tempted to push against the flow or control the outcome? How may you practice surrendering and allow the divine timing and your unique process to unfold?
What is one thing you can do to honor your distinctive energy and release any comparison (to others, to past results, to expectations)?
Gratitude for the Unfolding: Embracing the Mystery
✨ Finally, let us shower gratitude upon the fertile ground of this new beginning, embracing the beautiful mystery of creation.
For what blessings are you profoundly thankful, even those yet to arrive?
What possibilities are you joyously looking forward to embracing within this new cycle?
What do you love most about the precious gift of life and the continuous opportunity for new beginnings?
