Tonight’s New Moon: Fresh Starts, Big Feels, and a Little Chaos

Tonight is the New Moon! The New Moon is like hitting “reset” on the cosmic Etch A Sketch. The sky goes dark, the moon disappears, and suddenly the universe is whispering: “Okay babe, what do you actually want?”

New Moons are all about beginnings, intentions, and planting seeds (metaphorical ones, unless you’re a garden witch, in which case, double points for you). It’s your monthly chance to clear the slate, set fresh goals, and call in whatever magic you’re craving.

But before you panic and write a 100-item manifestation list, let’s keep it simple. Here are a few small, witchy ways to work with the New Moon energy:

🌑 Set an Intention - Pick one thing you really want to focus on. Write it down in a notebook, on a sticky note, or in the Notes app (the modern grimoire).

🕯 Light a Candle - Black for protection, white for clarity, or whatever color you’ve got lying around, its about intention, not perfection. Focus on your intention as the flame burns.

🪞 Mirror Magic - Look at yourself and say your intention out loud. Awkward? Maybe. Powerful? Yes.

🌱 Plant a Seed (Literally or Figuratively) - Start a new creative project, sign up for that class you're been eyeing, or just actually plant something green. The New Moon is your time to begin.

🍷 Sip With Intention - Water, tea, wine, whatever you like. Charge it under the New Moon, whisper your goal into it, and drink it like the elixir of your future.

The New Moon energy is strongest on the night it happens, but you’ve got a 2–3 day window to work your magic. So don’t stress if you forget the actual night -- this isn’t a Cinderella’s pumpkin situation.

New Moons are dark, mysterious, and a little spooky but in the best way. They remind us that starting fresh doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. Sometimes it’s as simple as lighting a candle, making a wish, and trusting the universe to meet you halfway.

So go ahead, reset, restart, and let yourself dream a little bigger this cycle. 🌑✨
