When is the next one?
Why it matters spiritually
Dark moons are thresholds. You don’t see them in the sky, but you feel them: a pause, an invitation to release and reset. The Black Moon deepens that sense, whispering of clean slates, inner pruning and remembering that not everything needs to be carried forward.
A Simple Ritual for the Black Moon
You don’t need much just intention and a pocket of time.
Set the space: light a candle or sit in the dark, whichever feels right. A comforting scent can anchor the moment.
Breathe and centre: let your body settle, your breath slow.
Mantra: repeat out loud or within: “I release what has served its time. In the quiet, I open to what’s next.”
Write it down: name one thing you’re ready to let go of, and one thing you want to invite in. Fold the page, tuck it somewhere safe, or burn it safely as a way of sealing your intention.
Close with stillness: linger in the silence for a few breaths longer than feels natural. That’s where the shift happens.
The Takeaway
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about giving yourself permission to stop, notice, and gently adjust. The Black Moon reminds you that pauses are fertile. Even in the dark, new beginnings are quietly forming.
