45 Life-Changing New Moon Affirmations

To say goodbye to the past and ring in new beginnings, the New Moon gives us an opportunity for great healing. This lunar power provides us a chance to let go of what ails our souls. Saying a New Moon affirmation can help let go of negativity while restating your goals and purpose.

I’m a huge fan of the power of affirmations to bring about change and the new moon has always been a symbol for change. I’m very excited for you to take advantage of this potent combination but just remember you could use any affirmation during this time and see a dramatic difference. The affirmations below are just examples you can draw inspiration from or use if they stand out to you.

Affirmations can be a powerful way of manifesting change and shifting your reality and aligning your intention up with the lunar phases like this can make this especially potent. However, even with the support of a new moon, most people don’t see results with their affirmations because they fall into the common traps. If you’re new to this (or maybe you’ve been practicing for a while and you’re not seeing results) try aligning the new moon with our (free) step-by-step affirmation workbook. It’ll help you avoid the mistakes most people are making.

How to Set New Moon Intentions

The renewing power of the New Moon allows you to set your intentions and goals. If you want to do this during an ideal time, follow the energies prescribed under the residing zodiac sign.

I may be a good idea to create a Moon journal. Jot down everything significant that happens throughout an entire Moon cycle. Review your list on the New Moon and then formulate the kind of changes you want to see over the course of the next Moon cycle.

The most important thing to remember during this special time is to exercise forgiveness, whether that means forgiving yourself or someone else. Also, show your gratitude for what you do have. Let the universe know you are grateful for all the gifts it has given you.

How Do You Manifest on a New Moon?

Before addressing your dreams, wishes and aspirations during the magical New moon, you have to rid yourself of all the negativity and bad feelings from within. Ergo, you’ll have to go through several levels of cleaning so your body, heart, mind and soul are appropriate for connecting with these lunar energies.

• Cleanse Yourself: Take a shower or a long, hot bath. This also includes brushing your teeth and ensuring your fingernails are clean. Physically cleaning yourself removes all accumulated dirt and debris.
• Drink Some Tea: Prepare a cup of your favorite tea with a bit of honey. When you drink it, imagine all your sorrows, worries and fears wash away from your heart. Allow this step to purify your emotions and feelings.
• Meditate Awhile: Meditate for about 10-15 minutes to clear your mind of all thoughts. Close your eyes and inhale into your gut and exhale in full. Imagine a rushing river right next to you. Anything that comes into your head, dump it into that river and wave it goodbye.
• Create a Sacred Space: Light a candle and burn your favorite incense. When you feel centered and have a sense of stability, begin saying your New Moon affirmations. But when you begin to speak, lock your heart and mind as you annunciate each word within this energetic space.
