Embracing the Black Moon: A Journey of Intentions and Spiritual Growth

Understanding the Black Moon

A "black moon" is a folkloric term for the third new moon in a season that has four new moons. This rare lunar event will peak on Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, at 2:06 p.m. ET. During a new moon, the side of the Moon facing Earth is in shadow. With no reflected sunlight, it seems to “disappear” from view. The absence of moonlight creates the darkest night sky, allowing constellations, the Milky Way, and even faint meteors to shine more brightly.

Harnessing the Energy of the Black Moon

This rare new moon invites you to start fresh with a clean slate. It’s a powerful moment to set clear intentions, establish meaningful goals, and commit to the habits or practices that will carry you forward. In Virgo, the energy is all about clarity, structure, and alignment. This gives you the focus to refine your vision and the discipline to bring it to life.

Think of it as a new beginning in your life — a fresh chapter in your spiritual journey. You can call in abundance or whatever goals resonate with you right now.

Setting Intentions with Purpose

The energy of the Black New Moon encourages you to take action. Keep your rituals simple, intentional, and aligned with your desires. Whether you seek abundance, healing, clarity, or a fresh start, choose practices that feel natural and sustainable. Each ritual serves as a way to anchor your goals into the physical world. They transform ideas into intentions in motion.

Rituals to Manifest Your Desires

🕯️ Crystal + Candle Intention Setting

Choose crystals that resonate with your goals. For example, use obsidian for protection, citrine for abundance, moonstone for emotional balance, or green aventurine for growth. Light a candle and speak your intention out loud, anchoring it in the moment.

BONUS: Place the crystal directly in front of the candle or arrange it in a small ring or triangle around its base (never touching an open flame). Light the candle while holding the crystal in your dominant hand. Speak your intention once with your eyes open (to anchor it in the physical world) and once with your eyes closed (to anchor it in the spiritual). When finished, keep the crystal in a place tied to your goal — like a wallet for abundance, your desk for focus, or under your pillow for healing. This way, it continues to work beyond the ritual.

📓 Virgo-Season Goal Mapping

Write down three intentions: one for personal growth, one for your spiritual practice, and one for your physical environment (home, workspace, body care). Keep them visible for the rest of the lunar cycle. This visibility will remind you of your goals and keep you aligned with your intentions.

🌿 Space Clearing + Energy Reset

Sweep, dust, or rearrange a space while visualizing stagnant energy leaving and fresh energy flowing in. BONUS: Burn incense or sage for an extra layer of energetic clearing. This practice not only refreshes your space but also prepares it to receive new energy.

🌑 New Moon Water

Fill a jar or bowl with filtered water and place it on your altar or a windowsill (no direct moonlight needed). Hold the container in your hands, focus on your intention, and visualize that energy infusing the water. Over the next few days, use it to water plants, cleanse crystals, or anoint doorways. Let your intention ripple out into your space, creating a harmonious environment.

🪴 Seed Planting Ritual

Plant seeds (herbs, flowers, or symbolic objects) as a physical act of growth. Each sprout represents a goal you’re nurturing this cycle. This ritual connects you to the earth and symbolizes the blossoming of your intentions.
