Amplify The Powers Of A New Moon With Jewelry

The moon has tremendous influence over our lives.

There is a saying that the sun sees the body, but the moon sees the soul. Divinely feminine, this celestial force goes from new to full roughly every 30 days. With that, we are allowed an opportunity to dive deep into ourselves, release old habits and set new intentions under certain phases. 

Living in accordance with the moon is an intuitive and useful practice that anyone can do. The astrological position of the moon in its different phases have abilities that can be useful depending on your intention. Rituals under the moon are typically performed at either the full or the new moon.

New Moon

This is when the moon is at the very beginning of its cycle. Although not visible to the human eye, it is often said to be the most powerful. Naturally it is most effective to set intentions for new beginnings. Business and self improvement ventures are generally considered good intentions to set under this lunar placement. 

Because of the potency it is also a very strong time for shadow work, banishing and protection. Our intuition is heightened at the pull of a new moon. We are asked to look inward, take stock of ourselves. Write down your intentions on a piece of paper and watch them come to fruition generally in three months time by the corresponding full moon.
