The Libra New Moon on October 21st is all about bringing balance back into your life. In order to find your balance, however, you first need to get grounded and find your center.
October’s Libra New Moon marks the official end of Eclipse Season and opens the way for fresh new opportunities. As we welcome new energies, the planets are actively engaged this New Moon, stirring up a sense of unpredictability. Amidst the uncertainty lies remarkable opportunity.
Just like the tightrope walker has to activate their core muscles, focus ahead, and begin walking step by step, we are being called on to do the same.
We are being called to find our core, know who we are, and get grounded in ourselves so we can find our balance and move forward in the right direction.
If you have been feeling scattered or unsure of what direction to take, this New Moon ritual is going to help you get grounded and balanced so you know how to move forward.
This ritual will also help you to receive guidance on a particular question or issue that has popped up in your life.

Libra New Moon Ritual for Grounding & Balance
You will need:
- White Sage (or another cleansing tool of your choice)
- 2 crystals of your choice
- 2 flowers of your choosing (can be fresh or dried)
- 2 leaves/fronds of your choice (herbs or bay leaves work well too)
- One candle (any color is fine)
- Pen and paper
Instructions:
Step One
Begin by using sage to cleanse your aura, then your surroundings. Focus on your intentions as you move the sage around your space, allowing the smoke to carry away any negative energy. You can repeat the following mantra or create your own while cleansing:
“I cleanse the energy so I may be balanced; I cleanse the energy so I may be calm; I cleanse the energy so I feel whole again.”
For this ritual, you may also want to invite your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels to join you.

Step Two
Place your ritual ingredients on a table or on the floor in front of you. Place your candle in the center, followed by your crystals on either side of the candle. In each hand, hold one of your leaves and one of your flowers. (It doesn’t matter which hand.)
Step Three
Close your eyes and exhale 11 deep breaths. Ignore any thoughts that arise and focus solely on your breathing. Close your eyes and concentrate on whichever hand is holding the flower. Repeat the following three times:
“The beauty and aliveness of this flower help awaken me to my true path and my true calling.”
Step Four
With your eyes still closed, direct all of your energy to the hand holding the leaf. Feel the warmth and vitality of the leaf as it connects you to the earth. Imagine it drawing in energy from your surroundings, enhancing your sense of clarity and purpose. Repeat the following three times:
“I am grounded like a tree; I am rooted in me; when I listen to my soul, I know exactly where to go.”

Step Five
Bring both hands together so now you are cupping both the leaf and the flower in both hands. Feel the warmth radiating from the flower, merging with the energy of the leaf, creating a harmonious balance within your palms. As you close your eyes, take a deep breath, allowing the essence of nature to fill your being and guide you toward inner peace and understanding. Bring your hands in front of the candle and repeat:
“I know where to lay down my roots; I am now grounded in who I am meant to be. This brings me balance and harmony.”
Step Six
Place the flower on top of the leaf (or the leaf on top of the flower—whichever works best) and both on one side of the candle, next to one of the crystals. Take your other leaf and flower and hold them in the opposite hands as before.
Step Seven
Close your eyes and consider a question for which you require assistance and direction. Perhaps you are unsure of how to achieve balance, or you are unsure of which direction you should take. Close your eyes and consider a question for which you require assistance and direction. Perhaps you are unsure of how to achieve balance, or you are unsure of which direction you should take. Once you have your question, begin by saying it aloud:
“Thank you for guiding me with…”

Step Eight
With your eyes closed, focus your attention on the hand that is holding the flower. Repeat 3 times:
“Please guide me to awaken so I may find my true path and true calling in relation to my question.”
Sit in silence and breathe deeply 10 times. See if any answers emerge. Don’t force it; just breathe.
Step Nine
Now, with your eyes closed, focus your attention on the hand that is holding the leaf. Repeat 3 times:
“Please guide me to feel connected to who I am, so I feel confident in how to handle and approach my question.”
Sit in silence and breathe deeply 10 times. See if any answers emerge. Again, don’t force anything; just focus on your breath.
Step Ten
Now bring your hands together so both the leaf and the flower are cupped in your hands. Bring your hands in front of the candle and then repeat:
“The answer to my question has already been born; I am being guided as I walk towards it.”
Step Eleven
Place the flower on top of the leaf on the opposite side of the candle. Looking at the table or floor in front of you, each side of the candle should have a crystal, flower, and leaf—the perfect balance!
Step Twelve
Now, grab a pen and paper and write down any thoughts or feelings that come to mind. Are you getting a better sense of the answer to your question? Believe that your question has been answered and that you are now simply walking towards the answer.

Step Thirteen
Blow out/snuff out your candle to end the ritual. Bury your flower and leaf arrangements in the ground. This represents the planting of “seeds” that will be “harvested” over the next few weeks. Bury them in a pot plant, garden, or park, or simply leave them out in nature. It is best to do this immediately following the ritual, but within two days is also acceptable.
Step Fourteen
Following this ritual, sleep with the crystals by your bedside for three nights.
Your ritual is now complete!
