• Trust yourself a little more instead of looking for approval outside of you

• Build your life at a pace that feels honest and sustainable

• Let go of old rules, roles, or expectations that no longer fit

• Bring your intentions into real life. How you move, work, rest, and connect with the land around you.

At the heart of it, this moon is asking one clear question: What am I actually ready to take responsibility for? Not because you should. Not because you’re scared not to. But because it feels true and meaningful to you.

Slow and steady beats all-or-nothing. Small daily habits will take you further than big bursts of motivation. Protecting your energy isn’t selfish, it’s necessary in order to do the work you were put on this Earth to do. This moon wants you moving, breathing, and feeling grounded. You’re building something that lasts, not something that gets applause.

This week isn’t about pushing or forcing change. It’s about slowing down, clearing space, and tuning in. So when the New Moon arrives, you’re ready.

🌒 12–14 January | Clear + Simplify

Make space first

Try to:

• Do 5–10 minutes of slow breathing (in through the nose, out a little longer)

• Gently stretch and check in with your body

• Clear one small thing each day. A drawer, your car, your emails

• Journal at night:
  What feels heavy or no longer worth carrying?

Focus: letting go of mental and emotional clutter

🌘 15–16 January | Ground + Settle

Help your nervous system feel safe

Try to:

• Stand barefoot outside for a few minutes

• Move slowly and with intention- walking, stretching, calisthenics

• Wind down earlier and reduce screen time

• Reflect:
  What helps my body feel calm and steady?

Focus: feeling settled rather than productive

🌑 17–18 January | Listen + Reflect

Turn inward

Try to:

• Sit in stillness or silence for 5–15 minutes

• Place a hand on your heart and ask:
  What am I really ready to commit to this year?

• Write intentions without putting pressure on yourself

• Rest more and keep things simple

Focus: clarity through quiet

🌑 19 January | New Moon Day

(Peaks around 6:51am AEST)

Simple New Moon ritual (15–20 mins):

• Sit or stand barefoot

• One hand on your heart, one on your belly

• Breathe slowly through your nose

• Ask yourself:
  What foundation am I ready to build this year?

• Write one clear intention — that’s enough

Bring it into the body:

• Take a steady walk/run or whatever movement practice feels good for you

• Repeat quietly:
  “I’m building my life in a way that feels right for me.”

Choose one anchor habit for the next month:

• 5–10 minutes of breath work

• A short grounding meditation

• An evening body check-in

• Walking/running in nature

This New Moon is about doing less, but doing it consistently.

Questions to reflect on

• What kind of life am I actually building?

• Where do I need more structure or support?

• What feels aligned in my body?

• What am I ready to commit to?, (even when you don't feel like it)

Mantra for this New Moon

“I move slowly, with intention, and in a way that feels true to me.”

Let this New Moon be less about becoming someone new, and more about creating a life that actually supports who you already are. 🌑✨

Namaste,

Charlie xo
