Tomorrow is new moon. As all new moons its the moment of change. We let go and also start the new. We dive deep into the subconscious mind to explore the dark side of the moon and ourself. Its the moment to just feel the darkness that surrounds us and abandon for a moment the shiny and bright world of the visible and predictable and surrender to the dark, unknown.
The nature of the new moon is intense, its pitch dark, we feel tormented maybe, feeling the urge to express things we had locked away for a while. Its the magic moment of rebirth. Every month you hit the bottom to get started over again having the power to just touch and take off to the light again. Its the moment of magic, the night to put the seed of intention into the fertile ground of our psyche. It is the moment of the witch in us to do alquimia to transform whatever we wish. It is the momment of letting go the blood as well, the new moon is associated with menstruation and purification. Let go what is of no use anymore to make space for the new to begin. Its the moment of death so life can continue.
Essential oils for the new moon

Clary sage essential oil
Clary sage has been shown to help balance hormones and increase happiness while reducing stress. It’s the perfect oil to help keep you even and centered, even when the situation around you seems stressful.
Lavender essential oil
Thought of as the oil of “communication,” Lavender helps us clearly speak of our needs and wants. As we connect to our deepest desires on the new moon, lavender supports us in clearly communicating this with the universe. It allows us to connect honestly with our emotions and thoughts that we may be resisting. Any possible fears we have about our dreams and goals can be brought to the surface and released with lavender.
Use the power of the new moon wisely as it is the future of life, ifs the moment to connect with the essence of your soul and initiate the new.
Crawl deep, you will find great treasures. I recommend doing a little ceremony with lighting a candle and get a paper and a pen and your essential oils, cristals whatever you feel helps you connect. Go deep into yourself, maybe with a nice music, meditation or whatever you like. Start to calm your mind. Take the essential oils and mix a few drops in some carrier oil to apply on your fourhead, neck, throat and chest.
If you are bleeding or feeling the call also massage your lower belly with the oil. You can also only inhale the oils. Take the pen and the paper. Divide it in two. Write all the things you want to let go or transform on one. On the other you write what you want to plant as an intention, a wish or project you want to start. Fold it. Keep the two papers until the next new moon. The next new moon you read the things you wrote out loud and then release them by burning them in a small vessel. Enjoy See what happens.
