New Moons are perfect for new beginnings. And this New Moon, on February 9th, is especially promising and even electrifying. Why? The Moon will be in Aquarius, the futuristic and audacious sign that encourages us to let go of the past and create space for the new. New solutions, new ways of being and existing, new vibes—all of this is super Aquarian, so follow the energy of this New Moon and express your less conventional side!
Expressing intentions
Any time is a good time to align thought and action, and express our intentions, but this New Moon, brimming with energy, is perfect for manifesting your desires with great impetus and clarity. This is because the heavens are especially favorable for change (often with out-of-the-box solutions and insights), with the Sun, Moon, and Pluto all in Aquarius. At the same time, the Moon and Sun will be in square with Uranus, the most rebellious planet of the zodiac, which will encourage you to break free from norms and conventions, and assert your authenticity, bringing a good dose of the unexpected to this lunar cycle.
This is the time to reset and start anew, trusting that the changes, in any area of your life, will be for the better.

New Moon Ritual in 8 Steps
- The first step is to find a quiet and comfortable place where no one will disturb you for half an hour. Light your candle (our exclusive DETOX candle with a fresh herbal scent is ideal for relaxing and refreshing) to set the mood.
- Begin by cleansing spaces and energy by slowly burning White Sage or Palo Santo , used in ancestral rituals. Besides having a wonderful scent, Palo Santo will release negative energy from the space, allowing for an open and unburdened mind. While cleansing your aura, consciously let go of everything that no longer serves you and be receptive to welcoming the new.
- Keep your crystal close to you and in silence (learn more about the meaning of crystals here ) and meditate – you can do this for 5, 10 minutes, or whatever you find best. This is the ideal time to enjoy your warm drink, such as the delicious CALMA , formulated with cocoa, ashwagandha, and reishi, to soothe and calm body and mind.
- After this moment of clarity, embrace the insights. Let your desires manifest in your mind, grab a pen and paper and write down what you most desire. What is your greatest wish? What do you truly expect from this year? Without limits, set your intention and trust.
- Now take another sheet of paper and write down 5 things you will do to make this dream a reality. They should be small, realistic, and achievable things, one step at a time!
- Take a third sheet of paper and write down 5 things you will stop doing, things you will let go of, to make your dream a reality.
- After completing these steps, take the sheet of paper where you wrote your intentions and burn it to give them more strength through the fire. You should only burn the first sheet, where you wrote your desires. Keep the others to remember the actions you must take to achieve what you want.
- To end this New Moon ritual in style, treat yourself to one last indulgence: a warm bath or soak with our Relaxe salt scrub, with calming essential oils and the scent of lavender, ideal for a gentle detox, relieving tension and entering a new cycle renewed.
Do you feel aligned? Of course you do! Ride the wave and happy New Moon!
