Only approximately 239,00 miles away from the Earth, there is no doubt that the extraordinary, celestial mass in our night sky-- The Moon-- has powerful control over the Earth and its people.
While the Sun represents masculine energy, the Moon represents the utmost powerful feminine energy. She signifies intuition, birth, death, and reincarnation and represents our hidden emotions, desires, worries, and self-work.
Spiritually, she acts as our Mama, subtly reminding her children that everything on Earth is ever-changing and follows a natural cycle. She offers us the ability to feel, nourish, learn from the past, and creatively unlock and express our authentic selves.
The Moon & Her Phase Meanings
The moon cycle can be described as changes in appearance created by changing angles or positions of the moon, in relation to the earth and the sun. It is believed that each phase has its own spiritual circumstances. Moon cycles are very similar to the cycle of life: a seed grows into a thriving adult, then into a wise elder. We can use the knowledge and energy of the Moon’s cycle to better connect to ourselves. Once we attune to the Moon, we can activate her innate powers and embody her qualities of fluidity, creativity, femininity, and change.
The New Moon
The New Moon is the first phase in the Lunar cycle. It occurs when The Moon comes into direct alignment in the Sun. When the Sun becomes possessive of the Moon and he does not want to share her beauty with the Earth, we are shown emptiness representing a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. It’s time to rest and begin planting new seeds of desire and intention by writing them down. This is the time to meditate and gently breathe new life into any areas of stagnation in which you wish to thrive.
The Waxing Crescent Moon
The Waxing Crescent Moon follows the New Moon. A slimmer of the Moon is being shone to Earth-- and honestly, she looks like a toenail. This phase represents stepping with intention. It is time to commit to focusing on one thing-- whether that be love, discipline, or a miracle. You must have a clear idea of your destination before you set out to achieve it. During meditations, you want to practice visualizations of your wish materializing and hum a solidifying affirmation. Continue writing your new moon intention clearly, we recommend using The 5x5 Power Manifestation Technique.
The Waxing Quarter Moon
The Waxing Quarter Moon follows the Waxing Crescent Moon. The Sun and Moon square each other. The showdown is pretty intense and as the Moon gains advantage, she challenges you to begin planning. During your practice of writing your clear call to action daily, you have probably run into some difficulties. Look at the challenges you currently face and make decisions about how you want to proceed. During meditations, you want to focus on your challenges in every light being mindful that they are your greatest teachers.
The Waxing Gibbous Moon
The Waxing Gibbous Moon follows the Waxing Quarter Moon. The Moon is almost free of the Sun’s shadow. She now represents refinement. This is your time to take massive action on the behalf of your intended desire-- go ahead and send that heart-filled letter or directly call the hiring manager. Allow yourself to acknowledge all of the mental energy you have created for this moment and use it wisely. This is the most crucial stage in manifestation-- you need to take action!
The Full Moon
The Full Moon follows the Waxing Gibbous. The Sun and the Moon are in harmony and the Sun reflects his brilliance off the Moon’s surface, creating her own light for us to use. This phase represents intense thoughts and powerful breakthroughs. Full moons are thought to influence humans so powerfully, there is a record of heightened emotions and even psychosis. This is the time to reflect. Allow yourself to analyze what’s working for you--or what’s not. Celebrate this realization-- this is the universe connecting with you.
The Waning Gibbous Moon
The Waning Gibbous Moon follows the Full Moon. The Sun has shared the brilliance of his Moon with us and slowly begins to hide her from the world again. This phase represents gratitude. This is the time to be grateful for the guidance of Mama Moon and consider her message. Allow yourself to embrace the ease of letting go and stop blocking yourself from having what you truly desire.
The Waning Quarter Moon
The Waning Quarter Moon follows the Waning Gibbous Moon. The Sun and the Moon square each other again. After an intense showdown, the Sun gains advantage, and the Moon begins to encourage forgiveness. This phase represents doing internal and shadow work. You should become more committed to yourself during this phase. Although, this phase is all about you showing up for yourself, listen intently for direction and guidance from Mama Moon.
The Waning Crescent Moon
The Waning Crescent Moon follows the Waning Quarter Moon. The Sun has almost complete possession of the Moon, you can only see a glimpse of her beauty. This phase represents surrender. Evaluate how you have changed since you wrote your New Moon intention. Consider how you want to change strategy and get organized for the next New Moon.
