attention to details and taking action towards your intentions are all good
things to do during this phase.
This is a good time for laying out plans, having conversations to help you
towards your goals and taking part in activities that strengthen these
intentions.
Full Moon
This is when the magic begins!
This is the time for manifesting the intentions. You can do this with Full
Moon rituals, which can include releasing and gratitude ceremonies. This is
a time to make promises to yourself on a soul level and letting go of
anything that no longer serves you. During the Full Moon you will envision
your goals and dreams as though they are happening there and then, and
then thank the universe for helping to make this happen.
Your emotions will be very intense at this time. These emotions are best
channeled into rituals and creative endeavours during the Full Moon.
Emotional energy is creative energy.
Shamanic Dream Quartz is a wonderful crystal to meditate or wear during
the Full Moon as it intensifies your creative energy and helps you connect to
the Moon’s energy.
Waning Gibbous

Waning Gibbous is when the Moon doesn’t look so full now and it is a time
for gratitude and reflection. This is a time for focusing on
getting rid of stress and negative energy. It’s a powerful time for
communication and making a list of all the things you feel grateful for.
This is a wonderful time for using palo santo or white sage to cleanse
yourself and your living environment. It’s like the time to breathe and relax
after the potent energies of the Full Moon.
Third Quarter Moon
This is when the Moon is half and half again like it is in the First Quarter
Moon stage. This is a powerful time for forgiveness. Light and dark are
equal, representing Yin and Yang. You find balance at this time through
forgiveness.
