🖤 Let’s Be Real: I’ve Been Feeling Disconnected
I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’m just… floating.
Not in a dreamy way but more like I’m living on autopilot. I wake up, go to work, do what I have to do, go back home, then bed and repeat the next day. It’s like I’m watching my life happen from the outside, but I’m not actually in it. You ever feel that way?
There’s this quiet kind of sadness that comes with it. Not full-blown depression or anything like that, but more like a numbness. Like something’s off and dead inside me.
The truth is, I don’t feel connected to my purpose right now. Yes, I’m grateful to have a job, but the truth is… it doesn’t light me up. It doesn’t feel like “me.” I find myself daydreaming about a different kind of life one where I’m doing something that actually matters to me, where I wake up excited, where I feel alive.
But instead, I feel stuck and numb. Waiting for something to change, even though I know I’m the one who has to change it. And that’s what hurts the most.
🌑 A New Moon Ritual to Call Myself Back
Since tonight is the new moon in Cancer, the sign of home, intuition, and deep emotional healing, I’m using this energy to reconnect with myself. To start small. To remember what it feels like to actually feel again.
In astrology, new moons mark the beginning of a cycle — and this one will ripple out over the next six months.That means whatever we choose to plant right now (energetically, emotionally, or spiritually) could shape how the rest of this year unfolds.
So I’ve made a decision: I’m done waiting for clarity to find me. I’m using this new moon as my signal to move, even if it’s slow. I’m choosing to believe I’m not stuck forever. That this “funk” I’ve been in isn’t permanent. That maybe this feeling of disconnection is actually my soul nudging me toward something more aligned and fulfilling.
🌑 My Ritual Plan (With a Soft, Witchy Touch)
Here’s what I’m doing to gently work with this energy. You can follow it exactly or just pull what resonates:
🦋 Set Intentions
I sit with myself, and write down what I want to call into my life over the next six months. I write these intentions as if I already have them in my current life and I finish setting my intensions with love and gratitude.
💧 Moon Water
I fill a glass jar with water and leave it on my windowsill to charge under the moon. I whisper my intention into it before bed: “I welcome clarity, softness, and change.” The next day, I sip it slowly or use the water to make some matcha or tea.
🔥 Candle Ritual
With the candle still burning, I write down what I’m ready to release, the numbness, the overthinking, the guilt for not having it all figured out and I burn it (safely). Letting it go, quite literally.
🧘🏽♀️ Meditation + Breathwork
I breathe. I visualize. I give myself permission to feel again. I picture the version of me I want to become six months from now, rooted, fulfilled, free, and I invite her in.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or just tired of faking it, know that you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
This new moon is a chance to reset. To remember that you’re still allowed to want more. That you’re still allowed to change. And that what you set into motion tonight might be the beginning of a whole new reality, six months from now.
So give yourself grace. Give yourself permission to start over or start again.
You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be.
