The Full Moon is the time when the lunar cycle reaches its peak energy.

The Full
Moon expands our awareness and draws the energy to the surface. This is the
culmination and celebration of our New Moon intentions. The Sun and Moon are
now 180 degrees opposite each other in the sky. The Moon’s full brightness
reflects the Sun-expanded energy.

Spiritual Significance of our Lunar Phases

Our Moon & the Sun emanate frequencies and these energy waves influence Earth’s tides and
the water within our bodies – arousing our emotions, behaviors and our consciousness.
The SUN represents our ‘outer-world’, our identify, our personality, our ego. It represents how
we ‘shine our light’ out into the world, the present moment, our yang or masculine archetype
expression. The Sun offers us strength, courage and illuminated insight of the Soul.
The MOON represents our ‘inner world’, our hidden emotions, desires, our shadow-self,
fears/worries and our dreams. It represents our feelings, our unconscious beliefs, the past and
our yin or feminine goddess archetype. The Moon offers us the ability to feel, learn from the past
and creatively unlock and express our essence.

New Moon
The NEW MOON represents the beginning of our 29 day lunar month.
During a New Moon, the moon is roughly sitting between the Earth & the Sun, hence the Sun is
shining on the ‘dark side of the moon’, the side of the moon we never see. As a result, we
cannot see the moon as the side that faces the Earth is not illuminated.

Both the Moon & Sun are in the same Zodiac sign during a New Moon… giving an exponential
boost or concentration of the energy.

The New Moon is a great time to set your intentions, write down goals or begin new projects for
the forthcoming cycle. In the darkness, the fertile ground, you plant the seeds of your heartfelt
desires on the New Moon, consciously focusing your Mind/Body/Spirit on the ‘feeling’ of your
desires.

Consider sitting in ceremony or personal meditation and writing down your intentions & inner-
most heartfelt Manifestation Desires for the new lunar cycle. Sign your Manifestation Desires
with the affirmation ‘And it is So’. Proclaim your manifestation desires to the Universe by saying
or chanting them aloud. After your ceremony, place your handwritten manifestations desires on
your personal crystal alter or bedside table or even under your pillow.

Waxing Moon

The Moon is in its WAXING Phase as it transitions from New Moon to Full Moon – hence the
illuminated portion is gradually increasing in size.
During the Waxing phase (Crescent, First Quarter, Gibbous) the energy of your New Moon
‘Intentions, Goals & Envisioning’s’ are building. During this time, allow your dreams, curiosity &
wonderment be your guides in bringing your Manifestation desires into form.

Release any fears or control you may have in trying to make your Manifestation Desires
happen… instead delight in the feeling of experiencing what your Manifestation Desires FEEL
like from the inside out.

Invite synchronicity into your life, believe in magic, see a world more beautiful through your
Heart… and surrender to the gifts of the Universe. Know deep within your Heart that you are a
Diving Being of eternal light & love and allow abundance, joy, laughter & happiness guide your
days.

Full Moon
The FULL MOON marks the mid-point of our 29 day lunar cycle.
During a Full Moon, the Moon is sitting opposite the Sun and is fully illuminated as it reflects the
light of the Sun. In addition, the Moon & Sun are on opposite sides of the zodiac on a Full
Moon… which can make for a challenging or intense aspect of energy but also a very potent
potential as the Lunar & Solar (yin & yang) are in natural harmonic balance.

The energy of a Full Moon (influenced by the current Zodiac transit) is heightened and
emotions, feelings, mental processes, dreams etc. are all amplified. When the Sun & Moon
oppose each other during a Full Moon, this can cause tension & uncomfortable friction, but at
the same time a greater amplification of vision & potential possibility.
The is a powerful time of gratitude, gracefully acknowledging the beauty of life itself and all you
have brought into beingness. You may feel a burning desire to express your creativity, bliss out
in sensual activities and through fierce yet profoundly tender vibrations let go of any aspects of
your life that no longer serve the grandest vision of your Soul.

Also have gratitude for your Manifestation Desires – for those things that you have manifested &
for those things that will come into form at a later date in divine timing and for the highest good
of all. Remember, your Manifestation Desires may show up in unexpected ways and ‘look’
different to your original Desires… as your ‘feelings’ create something more beautiful, more
sacred & divine for your greater purpose on Earth. You may feel guided to bury your
Manifestation Desires in honor of your surrender to a force greater than you.

The Full Moon is a great time to ‘moon bathe’ – simply sit under the light of the moon &
meditate. As you breathe-in allow the moon to warm your Heart & expand the beauty of the
present moment and as you breathe-out let the light of the moon transmute that which you wish
to release.

Full Moon ceremonies, either lighting a candle for yourself or coming together with others in
sacred circle, is a powerful way to bring healing to the self/group and simply BE this Wave of
LOVE for all Humanity & planet Earth. I LOVE placing my crystals out under the Full Moon to
cleanse their crystalline structures and infuse them with reflected solar vibrations.

Waning Moon
The Moon is in its WANING Phase as it transitions from Full Moon back to New Moon – hence
the illuminated portion is gradually decreasing in size.
During the Waning phase (Gibbous, Last Quarter, Crescent) the energy is slowing moving
inward, a time for inner-reflection, review and contemplation... During this phase, from a place of
non-judgement and being the ‘observer’ reflect on every aspect of your life – relationships, work,
creativity, abundance, health, well-being etc. Discern which areas of your life are in harmonic
balance and flow and which areas feel stifled, strained or in a state of struggle & dis-ease.

Honor your strengths, your accomplishments, your realizations, your personal growth &
expansion during this cycle. Recognize within yourself how your personal evolutions contributes
in service to something greater than you… ‘see’ how your personal ripples of love weave magic
in the lives of others.

In addition, as the moon is transits through its last crescent in the days leading up the New
Moon, recognize within yourself any thoughts, behaviors, negative thinking, bad habits or
anxiety/stresses that have come to your attention this cycle. LOVE your shadow with whole
heart and CHOOSE to not let these ‘stories’ inhibit you from radiantly shining your light. And
remember to REST & nurture YOU ahead of the next New Moon Cycle.

Step out of the Waning Moon and into the next New Moon Cycle with a fresh & awakened vision
for yourself. ‘See’ a greater potential of your Soul and have the courage to follow your Heartfelt
desires.
