Not just any new moon. This is the new moon that closes the 9-year cycle that we’ve flowed through the past decade. If you’ve been feeling like this year has been tossing you around with unexpected changes and endings in relationships and your career, you’re not alone: The end of the 9-year cycle brings a wave of completion and unravelling.
Meanwhile the new moon brings the energy of inviting new beginnings. But in order to move forward with clarity, it’s crucial to make room for the new by releasing the old. But why not embrace both – the energy of completion and rebirth.

Here’s how to honour the passage, say thanks and manifest for the new 9-year cycle yet to start:
Write a letter to your future self – 9 years from now.
How did you flow through this year, these past nine?
What experiences did you gather?
What people did you get to meet?
Which versions of yourself were born?
And which ones did you let go of?
And who do you see reading this in 9 years?
Where do they live? What is their life like?
What hurdles did they overcome to get there?
Use the questions to guide you and add whatever else you want your future self to know. Don’t be fooled: This is a transforming ritual, so set yourself up with candlelight and relaxing music – undisturbed, so that you can channel in peace.
Put your finished letter into an envelope, close, bless it and stash it somewhere you can easily find it in 9 years. Imagine yourself looking back at this version of yourself today. How far you’ve come. How the past decade has transformed you. How this letter will make you well up in an odd feeling of connection. All these versions existing within you always.
