Did you know the moon is one of your most powerful allies when it comes to manifesting? Whether you’re brand new to lunar rituals or you’ve been setting intentions for years, understanding how to work with the moon’s cycles can bring a lot of clarity, energy, and magic into your life.
The moon moves through her cycle about every 28 days. The two main phases you’ll want to pay attention to are the New Moon and the Full Moon. Each carries its own unique energy:
New Moon = fresh starts, intentions, and blessings
Full Moon = release, letting go, and clearing space
When you learn to tune into these rhythms, you can start aligning your energy with the universe - and that’s when manifesting gets easier
Since we’ve got a New Moon coming up soon (September 2nd to be exact), let me share a few of my favorite practices. These are practical, easy-to-do rituals that help you call in more blessings and abundance:
Write a mock check.
On the “Paid To” line, write the names of the banks you have accounts with. For the amount, I always write “PAID IN FULL” - because that’s exactly how I want my expenses covered. In the memo, I jot down: For all known and unknown expenses.
Make a gratitude and intention list.
I write down what I’m grateful for, what I’d love more of, and - if I’ve done collaborative manifestation work with clients - I include that too.
Do a heart-centered meditation.
My go-to is Meditation on Twin Hearts. It clears out heavy energy, opens your heart, and connects you with your higher self.
These can be done up to two days before or after the New Moon. The key is consistency and intention.
When the Full Moon arrives, it’s time to release what no longer serves you. This is when I take that mock check and my gratitude list, and I burn them (safely, of course). Fire is such a powerful symbol of transformation. It’s like telling the universe: I’m done with this energy - I’m ready for something new.
Because you are a part of nature, just like the moon. When you align with her rhythms, you give yourself permission to:
Set clear intentions
Release old blocks
Call in more abundance and clarity
Flow with cycles instead of forcing things
It’s one of the simplest, most powerful ways to support your manifesting practice. Want to go deeper into working with lunar energy? Join me for my monthly New Moon Energy Release Workshop, where we clear out blocked energy and make space for blessings. Learn more here.
