Manifesting your dreams can be powerful. Adding a little love astrology to the mix helps give you an extra boost to make it happen more easily. The most commonly used astrological occurrence for manifestation?

　　The New Moon!

　　New Moons are times for new beginnings, full of energy and enthusiasm. We’re going to have a New Moon in Cancer in 2 days, so it’s time to start focusing on what you want to manifest now.

　　This isn’t just any New Moon either – it comes with a Solar eclipse! Solar eclipses have much stronger energy, and you can use this to your advantage through manifestation. It’s time to some of that energy for yourself, and make your dreams come true.

　　

New Moon Eclipse in Cancer & Love

The New Moon eclipse is in Cancer, an emotional Water sign that connects to our core selves and internal foundations. Cancer is guided by feelings, which can be extremely helpful with manifesting. You can feel more connected to whatever it is you want to create in your life.

　　A lot of manifesting is focused on money, but we’re going to focus on another big subject – love! We’re coming soon to the end of Venus retrograde, which has had love on thin ice for the last month, and it’s a great time to start planning for how you can make love more positive.

　　Manifesting healthy, abundant love serves all of us pretty well, whether we’re rediscovering that love in existing relationships and connections, or finding it in new ones.

　　And, since this is an eclipse, you’re more likely to find that this lasts for a while. Eclipse energy can last for six months before and after, while New Moon energy is only two weeks before and after. On top of which, this New Moon occurs at the very start of the zodiac sign Cancer, so you’re laying the foundation now for years to come.

New Moon Ritual Basics

You’ll want to carve out a little bit of time to actually perform your love ritual. It doesn’t have to be that long if you don’t have much time to spare, but ideally you’ll want at least 15 minutes, and up to an hour. It’s going to be the strongest on the day of the New Moon in Cancer (June 21), but you can technically do it any time in the two weeks before or after.

　　Gather together whatever supplies you’ll be using for your love ritual, and then clear your head. The easiest and simplest way to do this is to meditate for at least a few minutes:

　　Close your eyesTake deep breathsRelax your body as you visualize bright green light swirling around your heart (to activate your Heart chakra)If you struggle with meditation, you can try something else that clears your mind, like listening to soft music, taking a shower or bath, or going for a walk.

　　The next step is to connect emotionally to the love you want to manifest:

　　Imagine love as you want it to feel in your lifeImagine being loved the way you want to be loved, and giving love in a healthy, positive wayLove should flow freely and abundantly to you and from you as an energy that is never depleted. You can envision love as a flowing current of energy being absorbed into you and flowing out of you.

　　After this, you can perform your love ritual. Once you’re done with your ritual, you can perform it again daily for two weeks, or you can simply envision the current of love flowing to and from you in abundance every day. This can stimulate love in your life, and help bring more love to you and open you up to love.
