The Phases of the Moon

  • The New Moon is traditionally associated with the setting of wishes and intentions and the energy naturally invites you to dream of possibilities.
  • In the phase of the Crescent Moon the seeds that emerged at the New Moon call to be heard. In manifestation, we are both doers and deciders… it’s time to respond and be proactive in taking steps, however small or large.
  • The First Quarter Moon is a time of evaluation, so look carefully at the scope of your ideas and use this energy to focus on the actions that are most important at this moment in time… review and formulate your goals for the rest of the month.
  • In the Gibbous Moon phase energy is building, passions are high, and dreams call to be made real. Enjoy the excitement of anticipation but remain present and grounded. Commit, invest, and persevere.
  • The brightness and power of the highly charged Full Moon energy brings a space of authenticity where all is revealed and illuminated, so notice and listen, particularly to any situations that seem to demand your attention. The energy of this phase of the Moon brings a wonderful opportunity to notice, to listen, to reflect, and then to release and let go, clearing the way to move forwards.
  • The Disseminating Moon phase invites authentic empowerment. Be steady in your actions and in your doings, stand in your power and be your true self with joy, gratitude, and humility, and affirm your dedication to your pathway.
  • The energy of the Last Quarter Moon invites you to walk your talk, so stand back and review, and make sure your plans, actions, and decisions are congruent with all that you wish to see in the world, and if need be, tweak and adjust.
  • The Balsamic Moon asks you to trust. Hold your vision, and yet simultaneously let go of any attachment to specific outcomes. This is a time of preparation and nurture. Validate, acknowledge, and cherish all your achievements and as this Lunar cycle comes to its completion prepare the ground for your own deliverance and the beginning of a new cycle of opportunity.

And a new cycle begins…

You listen to your desires, and you give yourself permission to believe and to dream. Some of your manifestations will be ongoing, with a new phase building on the foundation of the last… whilst others will be completely new, fresh ideas born of experiences that forge new desires.
