Moons fall within a star sign, and when this falls within your star sign then it will be really powerful for you! They are also super strong when it falls within another sign within your element i.e. if you are one of the water signs, and the moon is in another water sign.
Traditionally a full moon is used for releasing and letting go of things, but can also be used for manifesting. New moons are the best time to think about new beginnings and what you want to manifest for the month ahead.
Below is an outline of the 12 signs, and how you can best use them for your manifesting ritual, along with the candle colour that I recommend you use - you only need to choose one colour from each sign.

Using Candles to Manifest
The candles you use are key, and they should be small. You want the candle to burn down and extinguish itself naturally (please ensure this is always done safely!) You can use white if you do not have coloured candles available, but the colours relating to each sign will always give the best results.
The ritual can involve either writing down your intentions, and then burning the piece of paper with the candle to send it up into the universe (ensuring you then place this into a bowl of water to extinguish it) or you can use something sharp to etch the intention into the candle itself. If you have a beeswax candle you could gently insert tiny pieces of paper - containing your intention on - into the folds of the candle before burning it.
Whichever method you choose, once the candle is lit you need to visualise and imagine that whatever you are manifesting is already there. You want to build the energy. This works best if you are manifesting something that you want to happen in the very short term, perhaps within a few weeks. This does not work for longer term goals.
I would love for you to have a go, and please do let me know how you got on!
