Libra New Moon Ritual Guide
This week we have a New Moon in harmonious and balanced Libra. It brings a stellium to our skies, with Mars, Mercury, and the Sun also in the sign.
New Moon, also known as the dark moon, is the perfect moment to go within to your inner world, reflect and set intentions for the future moon cycle ahead. New Moon’s are especially powerful as the Sun and the Moon meet in the sky in the same zodiac sign, merging their two distinct energies of the yang and the yin.
Meanwhile Mercury, the planet of communication and technology, is in retrograde. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that tech giants Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp went down this week? Take this as a sign from the universe, an opportunity to step away from the cosmic chaos and take a break and lie low.
To embrace this reflective energy we’ve whipped up a special
Libra New Moon x Mercury Retrograde Ritual for you to follow:
Run a ritual bath
If you can, start your ritual by turning off your phone and laptop, remove them from your bedroom and run yourself a ritual bath. To honour Libra call in love, harmony and balance. Take an equal measure of rose petals and Himalayan bath salts. Place the petals in one hand and the salts in the other, and as you throw both into the bath at the same time - ask the universe - “for more love, peace and balance in my life”
Candle Magick
Once you’re done with your soak, light a candle, a pink one if you have it, and grab a pen and paper.
Watch the candle flicker, take a few cleansing breaths and settle into stillness before contemplating the following questions as you write freely for as long as you wish:
Where in my life do I need more balance?
What do I have too much of?
Where do I need to bring more focus into my life?
What can I shed and let go of?
How can I bring more harmony to my relationships?
How is my relationship with myself?
Seal the spell
Next, take a dried bay leaf to call in wishes and write a word on the leaf for what you most want in your life. Safely (we recommend burning things outside and using a heat proof container or cauldron), burn the bay leaf in the candle flame and as you watch it spark, thank the universe for all of your blessings.
