How to use moon phases

The new moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle. This is the best time to start anything new, setting your intentions for the month ahead. Planning and self-care are the best activities for this time.

Here’s a little cheat sheet you can save to help you determine the best activities for all phases:

About this new moon

According to Cafe Astrology

“This is a good cycle in which to re-evaluate our communication and social skills by questioning just how much we actually take in information and communicate in a friendly, non-threatening manner. How we get around (transit) and connect with others can be in great focus.”

Crystals used: Rose Quartz, Black Agate, Citrine, Silk Agate

Pile 1 – Rose Quartz

It seems to me that you’ve got some good stuff coming your way! Of course, that good stuff will be a little different for everybody, so take what resonates with you and leave the rest. Overall, there is an energy of fast movement, stability, and a possible new partnership in business, a new friend, or romance.

If you’ve been with your partner (romantic or otherwise), this message indicates a deepening of your relationship or a potentially profitable new project. If you’ve been working towards getting a new vehicle, it’s closer than you think!

Use the energy of this new moon to set your intentions and plan your next steps. Most importantly, count your blessings and really feel the gratitude! Your gratitude will not only call in more to be grateful for, but making it a regular habit will bring peace and joy to your everyday life!

Pile 2 – Black Agate

You’re done with a certain person or habit that seems to be a never-ending story. That on-and-off relationship, that habit that always leaves you feeling bad about yourself, or a state of mind that sits far too often in the negative.

Sometimes you have to be the one who creates the closure you think you need from someone else. Stop waiting for the “right” circumstances.

You can decide to be done with that person or pick a day to quit that bad habit. Waiting for the right time is an excuse to keep pushing it off. Make sure you take a good look at your triggers so you can anticipate when you will want to cave in and create go-to habits and activities that will help when you’re feeling weak.

While there aren’t really any money cards here, I’m hearing quite loudly that some of you need to create a better relationship with money. Changing your beliefs around money is necessary, but creating habits around spending, budgeting, and saving will be incredibly helpful right now.

Pile 3 – Citrine

You may be stuck in an uncomfortable position for a little while. Maybe you have to work closely or live with someone who drives you crazy. You might be at odds with a family member, or you may be having a particularly difficult time in an otherwise good and healthy relationship.

Step back, take a few deep breaths, and try to see things from their point of view.

It makes no difference if you don’t agree with their reasons or even their behavior. The goal at this time is not to change them or even sway them to your side of things or way of thinking. The goal is to understand where they’re coming from and what they want or need so that you can accept it for what it is and find a solution that works for both of you.

Use the energy of this new moon to help you see from their perspective and explore different ways of communicating that will appeal to them and create a little peace in your future interactions.

Pile 4 – Silk Agate

While I don’t necessarily think everything happens for a reason, I do believe that many things are fated, especially when it concerns the people who come into our lives. A reason, a season, or a lifetime, as they say!

There is someone in your life or soon to be in your life who is a fated or karmic relationship. For some of you, this will be someone who brings joy into your life, while others might experience this as a lesson. Either one will move you further on your path of peace and joy!

Some of you are considering leaving this person (or vice versa), or may have already done so. If that is the case, then you are being reminded not to try to fill the space with distraction or meaningless replacements, and spend a little quality time with yourself before putting yourself out there again.

If this is a new person in your life, enjoy!! Don’t worry so much about whether this is a blessing or a lesson – most people are both. Make sure you are intentional about not losing yourself in this relationship. You are two different people who still have important things to take care of outside of the relationship.
