MOON MEANINGS |
|
NEW MOON
(From
the day of the New Moon to 3 1/2 days
after.) |
| |
|
|
CONJURING: |
Beauty, health, and self-improvement; farms and gardens; job hunting; love and romance; networking |
| |
|
| TIMING: |
The magic should be performed between dawn and sunset for the best use of this magic. |
|
As the sun and moon are on the same
side of the earth the pull on us is
the strongest. Because the sun, moon
and earth are all in a straight line
this creates a time when the high tide
is higher and the low tide is lower
than usual. This is a time of rest and
rejuvenation. Inner readiness is
occurring for the new cycle. Allow
yourself some quiet time so that you
can meet the next cycle with renewed
hope.
|
|
|
WAXING CRESCENT
(3 1/2 days after the new moon through the 7th day) |
| |
|
|
CONJURING: |
Animals, business, change, emotions, matriarchal strength. |
| |
|
| TIMING: |
The moon rises at mid-morning and sets after sunset. |
The moon's light is quickening as the moon has dropped back until she is about 1/8th of the way behind the sun. We see her lumination as a crescent shape. The first glimpses of our visions are seen. It is time to contemplate what is past and consider future possibilities. Momentum to reach our goals begins to build.
|
|
|
FIRST QUARTER
|
(7 to 10 days after the new moon) |
| |
|
|
CONJURING: |
Courage, elemental magic, friends, luck, motivation. |
| |
|
| TIMING: |
Sunset is the prime time for waxing moon magic. |
As the moon is at a right angle to the
sun the difference between high and
low tide is minimized. Because light
and dark are in balance the moon will
appear to be a half moon but the area
of light will continue to grow each
day. You are ready to begin to act on
your dreams. Find ways to overcome
obstacles. Your creative energy is
flowing to help you make things work.
|
|
|
WAXING GIBBOUS

As the moon has fallen back around 3/8 of the way behind the sun one side of the moon is seen fully, the light on the other side bulges out but does not yet fill all of the moon's face. Our
energy is fast flowing and we are ready to put our full effort toward our goals. Connect with others who will support you. Be open to new ideas and solutions to challenges.

The sun shines fully on her face and tides are at their extremes again. Some may sense the pull of the sun from one direction and the moon from the opposite and their energy and will feel a
bit scattered. Our enthusiasm is at it's peak at this time and we often complete or recommit to our goals. Celebrate the blessings and bounty in your life, through joyous time with friends and family.
