It feels good to be back writing here.

Life has been hectic as a mum with two kids and the summer holidays. With them back at school and in nursery, what better way to reset than with a New Moon ritual.

New Moons have always been my favourite phase of the lunar cycle. There’s no glare, no high-pressure energy like you get with a Full Moon. It’s quiet. It’s a clean slate. It’s that subtle feeling of turning a fresh page in a brand-new notebook before anyone has written on it.

If you’ve been feeling a bit scattered, living in chaos, bogged down, or just in need of a gentle reset, here are 5 simple, down-to-earth ways to work with the New Moon energy this week.

1. Clear the physical space around you Before you even touch a deck of cards or open a journal, look at your immediate environment. Clear off your desk, make your bed, clear a patch of floor where you can sit quietly & gather your favourite cosy items. When our physical surroundings are chaotic, our mind follows suit. Clearing space signals to yourself that you’re ready for something new.

2. Focus on intentions over rigid goals We put so much pressure on ourselves to achieve, build, and fix. The New Moon isn't about setting massive, daunting goals that leave you feeling overwhelmed by Tuesday. Instead, ask yourself: How do I want to feel over the next month? Intentions are about direction and tone, not perfection.

3. Try this simple 3-Card New Moon Spread You don’t need an elaborate twelve-card layout to get depth. Shuffle your deck, take a deep breath, and pull three cards:

Card 1: My Current Energy (Where am I standing right now?)

Card 2: What to Release (What subtle weight am I carrying that I don't need?)

Card 3: The Seed to Plant (What energy or focus should I nourish over this cycle?)

4. Keep your ritual brutally simple You don't need hours of spare time, fancy tools, or complicated steps. Ten minutes on the carpet with a warm cup of tea, a candle lit, and your notebook open is more than enough. Give yourself permission to just be still without a screen in your hand.

5. Get personalised clarity on your path Doing readings for ourselves is brilliant, but sometimes we’re just too close to our own situations to see things clearly. We skip over the cards we don't want to look at, or we struggle to see the bigger picture through the daily noise. Grab a New Moon reading from my Etsy store to dive in deep to this cycle.
