simple shui | a new moon

tomorrow is a new moon.

and while i don’t understand the makings and markings of astrology, i am a freak flag enthusiast when it comes to working with any kind of “unseen” energy.

a new moon produces almost no light. they are, at the very core, a beginning. however, with each passing day + night, it becomes brighter. and eventually, the night sky delights us with a prodigious full moon.

likewise, it is an enormously extraordinary time to set some new intentions for yourself. just like the moonlight beams brighter every evening as it waxes into a full moon, any intention you set tomorrow (or at the onset of any new moon) becomes stronger, paving the way for glowing things to come your way.

steal away for a few minutes today to think where you’d like to be in a year. because the intentions you set tomorrow will root and blossom over the next 12 months.

and, then, consider one of these rituals as a way of renewing and refreshing the energy in your home so you have the space to welcome all the shimmering energy heading your way. . .

do a quick de-cluttering around your house + empty all the trashes in your home.

water any plants you have + prune dead leaves + turn them around so their other sides receive sunlight.

carry a little sea salt in your wallet.

if shoes pile up by the front door, find a new space for them. shoes lined up by the door symbolically represent money + opportunity + luck walking out of it.

clean out the refrigerator.

put out a bowl of fresh fruit.

open the windows, light some incense or candles, and walk through your house, blessing each room and your beloveds with health + wealth + happiness.

place some fresh sea salt in your kitchen — fill a bowl or mug and put it somewhere dry.

and, then, watch carefully. give gratitude for the little things that start falling into place. because those, my loves, are the signs of bigger things to come.
