Ending the Year with a Rare New Moon: Clearing Energy and Manifesting Healing and Growth
As 2024 comes to a close, we’re blessed with a rare and magical New Moon—a cosmic reset perfectly aligned with the end of the calendar year. 🌑 This is a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the year ahead. For me, this New Moon feels especially meaningful as I look back on a year of healing, growth, and creating space—both physically and emotionally—while embracing my role as a single mother.
Reflecting on Transformative Moments
This year has been one of the most transformative in my life. It wasn’t easy—healing never is—but I’ve made progress that I’m incredibly proud of.
Physical Healing: After dealing with a broken tailbone from delivery and managing old back injuries, I’ve learned to approach my body with more patience and care. Whether through gentle movement, energy work, or simply listening to my body’s needs, I’ve started to rebuild a sense of trust and connection with myself.
Creating a Home: Two years ago, I couldn’t imagine calling this space “home.” But this year, I’ve cleared out so much old energy and clutter, reorganized, and made it my own—a space where I feel safe, creative, and capable of growth.
Caring for Gus: My beloved dog, Gus, has been on his own journey of healing. This year, I’ve watched him transform from a fearful, abused pup into a happier, calmer companion. It hasn’t been perfect—he’s still learning, just like me—but the progress we’ve made together fills me with so much hope.
Growing My Relationship with Myself: I’ve made an effort this year to truly reconnect with myself—to let go of guilt, embrace rest, and recognize the strength it takes to show up each day. It’s been a journey of learning to love who I am, imperfections and all.
Bonding with My Baby: Becoming a mother has been the most profound transformation of all. Every moment with my baby, from quiet cuddles to playful chaos, has been a reminder of the beauty of connection and the depth of unconditional love.
Building Relationships: This year, I’ve worked on deepening my connection with my dad, growing our visits and learning how to navigate a relationship that once felt distant. Watching Gus and my cat, Catarina, find “friendship-ish” common ground has also been a reflection of the harmony I’m creating in my life.
I’ve come to see this year—and life itself—as a painting. Each stroke, even the ones that feel like mistakes, adds depth and character to the final piece.
Some layers may feel messy or uncertain at first, but over time, they come together to create something meaningful. This year has been about trusting that process, both in my creative work and in my life. Every challenge, every step forward, and every imperfect moment is part of the masterpiece I’m creating.
Rituals for the Rare New Moon
This New Moon is a chance to honor that growth, clear out what no longer serves me, and make way for the new. Here’s how I’m celebrating this rare alignment:
1. Energy Sweeping
Using my selenite wand, I’m sweeping away stagnant energy in my home. This ritual is about creating a blank slate—not just in my space but within myself. As I move through each room, I focus on letting go of old fears, patterns, and energy that don’t align with the life I’m building.
2. Creating a Positivity Jar
I’ve created a positivity jar to hold my wins, moments of gratitude, and manifestations throughout 2025. It’s more than just a ritual—it’s a way of anchoring abundance and tracking growth. This year, I’m filling it with notes that honor small wins, like Gus’s progress, my home improvements, and the moments of connection with my dad and baby.
3. Setting Intentions
Under the New Moon, I’m taking time to write down what I want to release and what I want to manifest. This year, my intentions center on healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and embracing the flow of life. I’m choosing to let go of perfectionism and lean into progress, trusting that every step forward adds to the layers of my journey.
A Message for the New Year
As 2025 begins, I’m reminded that life is a journey of healing and layering. Just like a painting, every experience—whether it’s a challenge, a triumph, or a “mistake”—adds depth and beauty to the final masterpiece.
This rare New Moon is a cosmic reminder to trust the process, embrace our imperfections, and honor the layers that make us whole.
