Last night, I did my usual nightly card pull from the Angel Dreams Oracle Deck, and the card that greeted me was the New/Waxing Moon. This card holds such powerful energy—it’s all about fresh starts, momentum, and the magic of intention-setting. As someone who finds beauty in spirituality, the moon, and signs from the universe, this pull felt deeply aligned.

So, I decided to lean into the energy and create a ritual around it. Whether you’re into moon phases, oracle cards, or simply craving a moment to reset, this little ritual might be just what your soul needs.

What the New/Waxing Moon Card Means

The New Moon is symbolic of new beginnings—a clean slate, a blank page, a whisper from the universe saying “What do you want to create?”

The Waxing Moon is all about momentum and growth. It’s the moon building its light, just like we build our dreams, piece by piece, phase by phase.

When this card shows up, it’s a sign to:

• Set powerful intentions
• Start something new
• Trust the process (even if you can’t see the results yet)

This card was my reminder that it’s okay to dream—and even more okay to believe in the unfolding.

A Mini Moon Ritual to Try Tonight

You don’t need anything fancy—just a moment of stillness, some intentional energy, and maybe a candle to set the vibe. Here’s a simple ritual you can try:

You’ll Need:

• A quiet space
• A candle (white, silver, or whatever you have)
• A journal or paper + pen
• Optional: moonstone, selenite, or clear quartz

Step 1: Set the Mood

Light your candle. Take a few deep breaths and imagine the moon shining above you, even if it’s hidden by clouds. Let that soft lunar energy wrap around you like a gentle hug.

Step 2: Set Your Intentions

Write down 1–3 things you’d like to grow or manifest. These can be big dreams or quiet goals. Keep your wording in the present tense to amplify the energy.

Example:

• “I am aligned with the right opportunities.”
• “I am surrounded by love and peace.”
• “I am ready to grow into my next chapter.”

Step 3: Speak Them Into Existence

Read your intentions out loud. Really feel them as if they’ve already happened. Then say:

“As the moon begins to grow, so does my energy, my faith, and my dreams. I trust the universe to guide me. I am ready to receive.”

Step 4: Close with Gratitude

Hold your hands over your heart. Picture your intentions floating up into the sky, cradled by moonlight. Thank the universe, your guides, or whatever you connect with spiritually. Blow out your candle. Keep your written intentions somewhere special—a drawer, altar, or tucked into your journal.

Final Thoughts

There’s something magical about connecting with the moon—especially when life feels chaotic or uncertain. This ritual is a gentle reminder that we can begin again. That growth doesn’t happen all at once, and that even the smallest steps forward still count.

If you’ve been needing a sign to take that leap, start that project, or believe in your magic again—maybe this is it.

Wishing you a beautiful moonlit journey. Until next time,
