New Moon, New You: How to Set Intentions for a Fresh Start

The New Moon is a powerful time for new beginnings. It’s the cosmic reset button—a moment to wipe the slate clean and step into the version of yourself that you’re ready to become. Whether you're healing from heartbreak, reclaiming your personal power, or simply seeking a fresh start, the New Moon offers the perfect energy to plant the seeds of transformation.

At Pretty Little Hexes, we believe in turning pain into power. We know what it’s like to feel broken, to question your worth, to wonder what comes next. But here’s the truth: you are the author of your own story—and the New Moon is your chance to rewrite it.

So, let’s harness this energy together. Let’s set powerful intentions, cast a little magic, and step into the life you deserve.

Step 1: Clear the Energy 🖤✨

Before you welcome new energy into your life, you need to release the old. Here’s how:

🔮 Smoke Cleanse – Burn sage, palo santo, or incense to purify your space. As the smoke rises, visualize negativity, heartbreak, or self-doubt leaving your body and home.

💎 Salt Bath Ritual – Soak in a warm bath infused with Himalayan salt, lavender, and rose petals. Imagine the water washing away anything that no longer serves you.

🔥 Write & Burn – Write down what you’re ready to let go of (old relationships, toxic patterns, self-doubt). Burn the paper safely and watch your past dissolve into smoke.

Step 2: Set Your New Moon Intentions 🌙

This is where the magic happens. The New Moon is like fertile soil—anything you plant now has the potential to grow.

How to set intentions:
✨ Find a quiet space where you feel safe.
✨ Light a candle to symbolize new beginnings.
✨ Hold a crystal that resonates with your intention (e.g., Rose Quartz for self-love, Amethyst for clarity, Citrine for confidence).
✨ Close your eyes and ask yourself: What do I truly desire?
✨ Write your intentions in the present tense as if they are already happening. (Example: “I am stepping into my power and attracting the love I deserve.”)

🔮 Pro Tip: Use our crystal-infused nail polishes as part of your ritual! Paint your nails with a color that aligns with your intention. (For example, black for protection, red for passion, or gold for confidence.) Each time you see your hands, you’ll be reminded of your magic.

Step 3: Seal the Magic 💫

Intentions are powerful, but they need action to come to life. Here’s how to make your New Moon magic stick:

🌿 Create a Vision Board – Print out images that represent your goals and place them somewhere visible.

🌕 Charge Your Crystals – Place them under the moonlight overnight to infuse them with your intentions.

📖 Daily Affirmations – Repeat mantras like: “I am powerful. I am worthy. I am creating my dream life.”

💅 Wear Your Magic – Apply our crystal-infused nail polish as a personal spell for confidence, love, or success. Let it be a daily reminder of your strength.

New Moon, New You 💜

You are not your past. You are not your mistakes. You are a force of nature, and with each New Moon, you have the power to start again.

So paint your nails, set your intentions, and step into your magic. This is your time to rise.
