13 Powerful New Moon Affirmations

I've got 13 powerful new moon affirmations to help you set intentions for a life that feels awesome. With magic words for every zodiac sign, you're bound to find an affirmation that's perfect for you.

The new moon is my favorite of the 8 moon phases. It's full of possibility, a blank slate for you to draw your dreams on. Setting intentions is such an important part of my new moon rituals, and affirmations are crucial to that process. I like to set an intention with an affirmation and repeat it every day throughout the moon cycle. You're going to love working with this type of magick if you need more positivity in your life.

What are affirmations?

Affirmations are simple statements of positive intent. It's a declarative statement worded in the present tense. They should focus on what you do want with positive wording rather than stating what you don't want. And most importantly, they should make you feel really good. The most effective positive affirmations feel like they're withint the realm of possibility, even if they aren't quite true at the moment.

I've recently learned that our brains perceive our future selves as a different person. This is why it can be so difficult to avoid behaviors that may feel good in the moment but we know our future selves will regret. Our minds can't actually perceive it as something that will eventually affect us. So by stating our affirmations in the present tense as if they are already true for us, we let our unconscious mind know that this is what the current version of ourselves desires to be true.

Affirmations can help you clear limiting beliefs, especially if you continue to work with them over a long period of time. The constant repetition reinforces the new belief you're trying to create until your vibration begins to shift toward the more positive message. So don't just try them once then immediately say they don't work. You've got to stick with your affirmation practice over time.
