The Right Time
It's common knowledge that the moon controls the tides and waters here on Earth. Earth is said to be around 71% water. Very close to that, the human body is made up of 60% water. To understand the affect these energies have on us, only allows us to help process and understand the energies we experience here on Earth. When you understand the moon and the phases it goes through, you will begin to see how you can use the Universal energies to help shape & manifest your own reality. Just as the moon affects us, well, so do all the other planets in our solar system. That's a topic for another post though! In this discussion, we are going to focus on each moon phase and the energies you can use during them.
Let's start off fresh, with the beginning of the moon cycle. There is no sunlight reflecting off the moon and it's completely dark. The new moon phase occurs on the 0 day and at the day 29.5 mark.
Great time for: New starts or beginnings, deconstructive workings, banishing, protection, divination, & bindings.
*Combined with ideal day of the week to gain a more powerful, potent energy.
During the waxing moon phase, the moon is starting to reflect more sunlight and grow towards the full moon. This phase occurs on day 3 and lasts for 3 days, after the new moon.
Great time for: Best time for manifestation, any constructive working, starting something new, setting new plans, attraction, motivation, love, power, creation, inspiration, & any positive energy working.
*Combined with ideal day of the week to gain a more powerful, potent energy.
The first quarter moon phase starts on day 7 after the new moon. It's light has grown to the half way mark before it reaches the full moon.
Great time for: growth, strength, this is a great time to asses your initial plan and evaluate for any revisions you see fit.
At day 11, we have the waxing gibbous moon phase. The moon is still in the growing phases, and has almost reached the peak of the full moon.
Great time for: Manifesting, growth, strength, finalizing those initial plans, success, health, motivation.
*Combined with ideal day of the week to gain a more powerful, potent energy.
We get full moon energy for 3 days on days 13-15 after the new moon. The lunar cycle is now half way complete and has reached the peak.
Great time for: Protection, charging, cleansing, healing, knowledge, blessings, guidance, and all other light works.
*Combined with ideal day of the week to gain a more powerful, potent energy.
Starting around day 17 of the lunar cycle, the moon starts to enter the waning phases. The amount of sunlight that reflects off the moon will now start to decrease again.
Great time for: From now until the new moon, you will want to use the decreasing energy of the waning phases for cleansing, clearing blockages, protection, removal, getting rid of energies, & removing baneful workings.
*Combined with ideal day of the week to gain a more powerful, potent energy.
It's getting close to the end. We enter the last quarter on day 21 of the lunar cycle. What worked for you this cycle? What didn't?
Great time for: Reflection, forgiveness, releasing what no longer serves your highest good. Prepare for the cycle to end and a new one begin.
This is the final stage the moon will go through before it starts the cycle all over again. On day 25, the moon is in the waning crescent until it enters the new moon phase again.
Great time for: Releasing, cleansing, protection, meditation, balancing, removal, & clearing blockages.
*Combined with ideal day of the week to gain a more powerful, potent energy.
