It's the New Moon! And it's the first New Moon of the year, so get ready to let go, refine, refresh, connect and set yourself up for greatness!


New Moons are the PERFECT time to take time out, practice some of that self-care that everyone's talking about and get connected to yourself and to beautiful, mystical Mother Moon. There are two main events in the lunar calendar (although that big ball up there is constantly ready and waiting for you to connect to it, you just have to look up and she's there), the Full Moon and the New Moon, each one taking place approximately two weeks after the other. Full Moons are perfect for taking time to reflect and softly analyse what's going on in your life, where things are heading, if this feels right to you and most importantly to let go of things that definitely don't feel right in order to make space for new, exciting things that DO feel right. They're all about illuminating (get it, the full moon is when it shines at it's brightest) things that you may have tried to bury, leaving no space unseen and practically forcing yourself to be aware of what is and what isn't right at the moment.


New Moons, however, are a time for deep introspection, they're a time for setting plans and intentions, for setting goals and dreams. The New Moon is a clean slate, you left all you needed to behind at the Full Moon, so the New Moon is the time to focus on what it is you want to bring into your life, things you want to manifest. If you're a believer in the Law of Attraction (and you should be) the New Moon is like asking for what you want but 100x more powerful. Why wouldn't you give it a go and harness the power of the magical moon to bring into your life what you desire? At the time of the New Moon, there is darkness, the Moon is no longer visible, the skies are darker, maybe even you feel darker; we're so in tune with the moon, often without realising or acknowledging so, that wherever it is in its cycle has an impact on our lives down here on Earth.


So, what does all this mean? If you're looking to harness the power of the moon NOW is the time. There are loads of fantastic resources available online to help you connect with the magic of the moon, so I thought I'd share a few of my favourites with you so you too can start to feel its power! Just remember, follow your intuition, spend some time just sitting quietly tomorrow and thinking about what you would love to manifest into your life, write them down, be specific and maybe, just maybe, it might happen.


Dwell In Magic by Jessica Dimas - this beautiful site has loads of information on manifesting with the moon, as well as some free and some some paid for worksheets and bundles to help guide your thoughts and connect with your intuition.


Spirit Daughter - this is my go-to for workbooks and amazing information about the moon and, just as importantly, the sign the moon is in. The sign that it's passing through is really important as it kind of flavours the energy for us. Each of the 12 signs (Aries, Sagittarius, Cancer etc.) all rule certain emotions and aspects of our lives, meaning when the moon is in a certain one, the energy of this sign is intensified. This month we're in Capricorn, which means there's an energy of focus and stamina, and an increased focus on setting long term goals


Moonology by Yasmin Boland - Yasmin is something of an expert when it comes to the moon and her website is jam-packed with all the information you could need! From moon rituals to horoscopes, daily moon information and mantras and crystals to help you further your connection, this is a one-stop shop for getting your inner moonchild out.


The Numinous - with everything from horoscopes and tarot to an actual Moon Club (increds.) The Numinous is the modern girl's website for connecting to your inner woo woo. If you've ever got the impression that all of this spirituality stuff is just applicable to those who wear kaftans and harem pants and constantly smell like sandalwood (not that there's anything wrong with that!) then this is the site to change your mind! With amazingly beautiful artwork (you should sign up to their newsletter), inspiring poems, tarotscopes and much more, this is definitely one to spend some time getting lost in.


These are just some of the amazing sites out there, there are so many beautiful, informative ones to look through I'm convinced once you start looking into it, you'll never look back. Let me know how your New Moon night goes, share any intentions you have if you want and let's all just take a moment to be thankful for our beautiful home we call Earth, and its steadfast companion, the beautiful, mystical Moon.
