There are some really ancient rituals that have been done for 1000s of years. A lot of different astrologers and healers use these types of things to help people with the difficulties of life. You can do a ritual for all kinds of different things but some popular times to commit to doing a ritual is during new moons, full moons and during the equinoxes and solstices. If you really enjoy doing them then you can start to do a ritual for other things you need in life. It can be very therapeutic. The power of manifestation is a crazy thing and that’s why these rituals are important.

The new moon moves into Pisces on March 6th at 10:05am. This new moon is also coinciding with a Mercury Rx in Pisces the day before. And Uranus in Taurus the following day. It’s going to be a big shift energetically and so it might be a good time to sit and make a list of intentions you would like to make for the next month. We set intentions for the month on the new moon to be clear and concise about what we like to achieve. The new moon in Pisces asks us to focus on our sensitivities and intuitive nature. Feel all the feelings, emotions and energies that are coming your way.

You have 3 days before the new moon to perform this ritual or 12 hours after.

1) Gather any and all supplies that you will need for the ritual. You can use sage to smudge beforehand, crystals you will need (moonstone and amethyst are good choices), a journal to write, a bowl to smudge in or burn intentions, a bowl of water and a candle.

2) Create yourself a special alter space for all the items that you have gathered. It doesn’t matter where your alter space is, it can be any table in the house or on the floor, wherever you feel most comfortable. Decorate with items such as crystals, plants, candles, things you find outside in nature like leaves or feathers, decorative table runners, anything you can really think of that seems appropriate.

3) Start by smudging your alter space and say a little prayer. It can be along the lines of “I respect mother moon and all she does for us. I take this time to set honest intentions. I manifest all that is good and bright and light. I have the power to change my future. I will let go all that no longer serves me. I am totally and completely alined spiritually. I am in tune with my higher powers. “ Write down your intentions or wishes. focus on them, meditate on them. What do you wish for your life? Can you actually picture these things happening to and for you in your life? The manifestation WILL NOT work if you truly don’t believe it. It’s important to be clear on what you want. You can doodle and make your intentions “pretty” or you can just be as simple as writing a list.

4) Light your candle and put your crystals in the bowl of water. You want to charge the water and cleanse yourself. At this point you will dip your hands in the water and wipe the water on your forehead, chest and throat. You take this time to cleanse yourself and expand your mind, heal your heart and communicate effectively (especially important with this mercury retrograde in Pisces). You can basically cleanse your entire body if you wish but I want to just start simply. Also add a couple drops of the water to your intentions, don’t worry about smudging them as you have already set those intentions into motion.

5) At this time you can take some time for yourself however you wish, further meditation, possibly a tarot reading if you do that, you can even enjoy a glass of wine (although I don’t really recommend it for a Pisces new moon because of the Neptunian energy). Tell the moon you love her, clean up your space and take the crystals to bed with you. You have just completed your new moon ritual.

I hope you guys enjoy doing this ritual and can find some peace or healing that you may be needing in life. I also hope that you manifest your deepest desires and this moon month goes exactly how you wish it to.
