New moons are a time of new beginnings. On the Full Moon we release what no longer serves us so that on the New Moon we can invite in our deepest desires and manifest the things we want to bring into our lives.
A word of advice/caution when you are manifesting: You do not get to tell the universe HOW it will deliver to you what you desire, only the WHAT. This is because our human brains cannot fathom all the ways in which something will come to us. The options are limitless, but we tend think so linearly that we mess that all up! So, if you are manifesting something and an opportunity presents itself but it's not HOW you expected it, don't necessarily pass it up. The universe doesn't always give you want you expect, but it always delivers what is meant to come to you so LISTEN UP to all the signs.
But how do we actually manifest? There are many ways to celebrate the New Moon and manifest what you want. Here are some ways to do so:
CRYSTAL GRIDS are great for manifestation on the New Moon. Here's a quick how-to: Place a quartz crystal (preferably a tower or with an upward point) in the middle and create lines of crystals representing your intentions coming out from the quartz. For more amplification, use small quartz points in between. Don't overthink it. For mine (below) I chose abundance in all forms - pyrite for $$, citrine for confidence, carnelian for creativity, rose quartz for self-love, green aventurine for luck and healing, green apatite for health. Take a wand or anything with a point and use it to "draw" energy lines that tie all the crystals in the grid together in a clockwise direction. Touch the field of each crystal and then touch the field of the center quartz each time, creating a spiderweb-like field. Repeat 3-4 times around for a pretty tight web! Hold the wand/point over the center quartz and speak your intentions to the universe for the grid. Leave it untouched until another new moon, reverse the web weaving (counterclockwise) and put away. Again, don't overthink it, your intention is EVERYTHING.

Writing it down is an excellent way to manifest your deepest desires. I’m a big fan of WRITING A LETTER TO THE UNIVERSE during huge manifestation events and even full moon releases. Think about what you want your outcome to be. Truly envision all of the things that you want to bring into your life. And then write a letter to the universe THANKING it for all of those things. As mentioned above, we don’t get to tell the universe how to give us what we want so we’re not going to list out all the ways in which the outcome will present itself, we just get to thank the universe for giving it to us. We speak as if it has already happened and that is a huge secret to manifesting. We don’t say “Oh I can’t wait to have this” because that energy will carry on and you will constantly be waiting. We say “I am so thankful for this” and that energy will let the universe know that you are ready to receive it.
If you’re wanting to invite in abundance, today would be a great day to CREATE A MONEY BOWL OR JAR. Find a container that you can spare and a place where it can stay that is near your workspace. In this jar or bowl you are going to add rice (for abundance), salt (for protection, you want good money coming), and coffee grinds (to help speed up the abundance), cinnamon sticks (to attract financial blessings), any crystals you may have (pyrite, green aventurine, and citrine are all good for attracting prosperity), and lastly MONEY. Yep, you gotta “spend” money to make money so drop in some coins and a couple dollar bills. Once all is in place, set your intentions (“With this bowl/jar I accept abundance and prosperity into my life from sources that harm none and do good for all. And so it is.”) and place it where it can be visible, attract sunlight. Some say the southeast area of your house is the feng shui wealth area so that’s an option!

Another easy way to manifest for the New Moon is to MEDITATE. Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. You don’t have to be a big meditator to do this, just trust me!! What you’re going to do is think about and visualize you living the life you’re wanting to call in. So no stress about keeping your mind clear of thoughts, this is the opposite! I like to listen to specific frequency music while I meditate, depending on the purpose so for this manifesting meditation, I would take to YouTube and FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Put your headphones on, sit or lay down comfortably, and spend several minutes visualizing your desires. Imagine yourself in that new job or with that new love or on that dream vacation. Notice how you are feeling, notice your happiness. As you’re visualizing these things, keep thinking to yourself “I am so happy and grateful for ______” (insert your desires here). Your thoughts carry a lot of energy so make sure you are thinking words and images that place you in that dream life you’re trying to call in to send a signal to the universe that you are ready for it all now.
I hope you take advantage of one or more of these ways to Manifest your desires during the New Moon! May all your dreams come true!
