I am a blessed woman.  During my sophomore year of college I met a lady who was destined to become one of my dearest friends and her mother is one of the greatest astrologers I have ever  met. Her mother, who I call Mom, explained the rule of the New Moon Wishes.

Every month on the new moon write out 10 wishes and post them in a spot you can see them. I tack mine to the corkboard above my alter, but a plain slip of paper on your alter, clipped to the fridge or even the bathroom mirror works. As in all things, be creative and sincere – and focus. Intent is everything!

At the next New Moon give a prayer of thanks for your answered wishes and list 10 new wishes for the new cycle. One thing I happen to notice is that while some wishes aren’t granted, I gain persepctive during the moon cycle and often adjust / change / rethink some desires and I say a prayer of thanks for those things that I changed course on.
