Understanding 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.

Below is a little cheat sheet graphic you can save to help you determine the best activities for all phases. I’ve also created a blog post for those of you who want to read more about how to use moon phases. You can find that post here.

About The New Moon In Leo

According to Cafe Astrology, the New Moon in Leo is a prime time for setting intentions around romance, creativity, and self-confidence. This fiery energy encourages us to embrace our unique light and build healthy pride.

“The New Moon in Leo is an excellent time for formulating goals regarding ‘all things Leo.’ For example, we might concentrate on new ways to enhance our romantic life, creative endeavors and hobbies, and relationship with children, as well as build our self-confidence and healthy pride in ourselves..”

Crystals used: Clear Quartz, Ruby Zoisite, Jade, & Citrine

Pile 1 – Clear Quartz

You may have been hard at work on a business or personal project, feeling as if it (or you) will never be ready to share with the world. This is not only confirmation that you’re on the right path, it’s a gentle nudge to release it! It’s all too easy to get caught up in the details and get lost in rabbit holes, which are excellent ways to procrastinate!

Here’s the deal: There will always be people who know more and create in different ways that feel like they are better than yours. However, there are also plenty of people who know a lot less and/or will resonate with how you present your creation more than those whose work you feel is superior to yours.

Use the energy of this new moon to gather your courage, and pick a date and plan for release. You may not feel like you’re work is finished, but your message indicates that “good enough” is more than acceptable in this case. You have what’s called a “minimum viable product,” also known as an MVP. It doesn’t apply to just product, so don’t get hung up on that word. It means that what you’ve got is good enough for release now, even if you continue to work on it.

Pile 2 – Ruby Zoisite

Are you feeling a little confused, unsure of your next move? Maybe you’ve got a million ideas that are all great, or maybe you just have a few great options that are making this choice more difficult. You’ve already laid a sturdy foundation so that next step may be looming large!

Your message is clear! Picking one thing and sticking with it is what’s important here, but it seems to me that a few of your ideas will go nicely together as well. The best way I can describe this is for you to choose one thing as the main idea, then dig in to see how your other ideas may fit under that main idea and how they can be combined or play off each other.

Use the energy of this new moon to do a brain dump of all your ideas; just getting them down on paper will help you to process them a little differently. Once you’ve emptied your ideas onto the page, it should be a little easier to see how some ideas may be combined as well as how you might prioritize them.

Pile 3 – Jade

It looks like this new moon is all about emotional balance for you, as well as learning a little more about your own mental, physical, and spiritual cycles. I’m sure you know that trying to ignore or outrun your feelings is not helpful, but you also don’t want them running the show!

Pay attention to what triggers you. Maybe you’ve experienced a loss in the past that pulls you down during a certain time of the year, even if you don’t consciously realize it. You could be dealing with reproductive cycles or a changing season in your life. Learning to anticipate these things can lessen the emotional toll because knowing what to expect means you can do a little prepping instead of experiencing an “all of a sudden” inferno. Catch it early!

Use the energy of this New Moon to help you create a habit of journaling and tracking your symptoms. You can get yourself a pretty new journal with stickers or use one of the zillions of notebooks you already have. Make it a fun and cathartic experience but leave out the pressure. You don’t have to do it every day, and you don’t have to follow someone else’s system.

Pile 4 – Citrine

Your cards are reminding you that we are all creatives. In fact, it’s an essential part of the human experience and necessary for your mental, spiritual, and even physical well-being. Whatever you create doesn’t have to be monetized or even good to reap its real benefits.

You may not think you have a creative bone in your body or you may feel like something you’ve been trying to create is just awful, like, you just plain suck at whatever it is you’re doing. People aren’t born masters of their craft; they need to learn and practice for a long time before they get to the point where others can appreciate their work. Also, most art sucks until you spent good time making adjustments.

When you think of being a creative, you probably associate that with things like painting, music, writing, etc., but those are only a small portion of the activities that can fall under this umbrella. Cooking, gardening, and even cleaning can be a creative activity. That sense of satisfaction you get when you see how lovely you’ve made your space comes from your creative heart!

Paint-by-number, Legos, and other things that someone else designed are no less creative just because you’re following instructions. They ignite your creative spark! Make time to create and ditch the expectations! Allow yourself to appreciate the process and your progress instead of focusing on the end results. Just create!
