🌑 Moon Phases & Rituals
New Moon in Cancer - Ritual: Returning Home
Cancer reminds us that our greatest sanctuary is within ourselves.
You'll need:
Light the candle and place your keepsake beside the bowl.
Place both hands over your heart and take several slow breaths.
Say:
"I return to myself with love.
I trust my heart.
I create a home wherever I go."
Hold your keepsake for a few moments, imagining it absorbing feelings of peace and safety. Keep it nearby throughout the lunar cycle.
Full Moon in Aquarius - Ritual: Vision Beyond the Horizon
Aquarius invites you to see beyond limitations and reconnect with your highest vision.
You'll need:
- A journal
- A blue or silver candle
- A clear quartz crystal
Light the candle and hold the crystal.
Ask yourself: "If fear wasn't part of the equation, what would I create?"
Write whatever comes without editing yourself.
Finish by saying:
"I welcome new possibilities.
I trust the future unfolding before me."
Keep the crystal on your desk or altar as a reminder to stay open.
🪄 Monthly Spell: The Sky Lantern Spell
Write one dream or vision on a piece of paper.
Fold it into a small square.
Hold it beneath the open sky and say:
"Like the stars above,
may this dream find its perfect path.
I release the how,
and trust what is becoming."
Keep the folded paper beneath your pillow or on your altar until the next New Moon.
