Plot Twist: the new moon phase isn’t the best time to set intentions; rather it’s when the moon begins to gain light
the new moon apexes at ~1:25am CST (2:25am EST & 11:25pm PST). When the moon is renewing, the sky is completely dark. think of a void space 🖤⚫️🖤
it’s best to let yourself sit in the darkness & renew. (the new moon phase is often connected to the bleeding part of the cycle - think of the nurturing, care & rest that most people desire during this time)
here are elemental + simple New Years rituals for ya:
🔥 fire: grab a candle, toothpick & lighter - carve words/symbols you’re calling in, take a deep breath, light it up ✨
🌊 water: grab a sticky note/small paper, write down your intentions, place a glass on it & pour water. speak your intention into water, take a deep breath, and drink it! (option to drink it tomorrow morning)
🌏 earth: speak your intention into your food tonight, and eat it knowing you’re receiving the magic. (a lot of New Year traditions are earthy, Capricorn szn! black eye peas, greens, grapes - whatever feels yummy to you!)
