What to do for a New Moon with Crystals?

The new moon is a powerful time for new beginnings, setting intentions & planting the seeds for future growth. During this phase, the moon is dark and represents a blank slate, making it an ideal moment to manifest your desires & start fresh. Using crystals during the new moon can help amplify these intentions to align your energy with the lunar cycle

There are a few crystals we recommend to work with for a full moon, due to their transformative & protective abilities

Labradorite is known for its transformative properties, which is ideal for setting powerful new intentions. It encourages personal transformation, spiritual growth & helps to tap into your inner magic

Black Obsidian provides grounding & protection while releasing any negativity from the past. It helps clear away emotional blockages, making space for the new intentions you wish to manifest

Citrine is a crystal of manifestation and abundance, this crystal enhances optimism & motivation, making it perfect for setting intentions for success, wealth or career growth

Selenite: Named after the Greek moon goddess Selene, selenite is strongly connected to lunar energy. Helps cleanse your energy and connect to higher realms, bringing clarity & focus to your new moon intentions

To fully maximise the energy of the new moon, its recommended to take this opportunity to start a fresh, leaving any negative energies or behaviours behind & taking a step into a new perspective. Setting intentions with crystals is a great way of doing this, here is how:

Cleanse your space with sage, palo santo or incense to clear any negative energy. Set up a comfortable area where you won’t be disturbed

Choose your crystal that resonates with the intention you want to set. For example, if you're aiming for emotional healing, moonstone would be a good choice

Write Your Intention on a piece of paper, clearly state what you wish to manifest. Be specific & write in the present tense, as if it has already happened

Hold the crystal in your hand & focus on your intention. Visualize your goal as if it's already happening & imagine the crystal amplifying your desire

State your intention clearly either out loud or in your mind, while holding the crystal. For example: I set the intention to attract more abundance into my life

Using crystals during the new moon can help you align with the natural cycles of the moon & manifest your desires more effectively. The process encourages clarity, focus & the intention-setting that's essential for personal growth & spiritual development

Hope this helps,
