The New Moon . This is Luna ’ s first phase and as such holds the energy for new beginnings , creation , intention setting and manifestation . Because of these powerfully aligned energies it is an optimal time for deep introspection , inner connection , and a slowing down to allow for new ideas & processes to come into your awareness and take form .
1st Quarter [ Waxing ] Moon : The time between the new and full moon is known as the waxing moon period . It is a time to gather resources , and act consciously and inspired for your intention / goal to become a reality . A farmer doesn ’ t plant and forget , she or he nurtures the growth process . Nurture your growth by not giving up .
The Full moon . This is the time where we banish , purge , surrender &/ or release ourselves from patterns , habits &/ or relationships that are no longer in alignment with our self and block the way of our forward momentum . You cannot expect to manifest or bring in the new without clearing out the old . After all , when you purchase new furniture , you have to move out the old stuff to make room for the new , right ? Manifesting is the same concept .
Lastly , your intuition knows your rhythm . Trust it and follow it . Your new year could be the spring , it could be your birthday , it could be every new moon . And , yes , you have renewal at each of these times . You need only to honor the rhythm of your Goddess Energy .

3rd Quarter [ Waning ] Moon . The waning moon is a time to continue to release , purge , banish and establish new patterns . Once we release ourselves from something , that echo of habit tends to linger . Consistent Mindful Redirection will help you through this phase of the Lunar Cycle and prepare you for what you are calling forward for yourself which requires you to be renewed . This comes with a word of caution : Be sure that as you are releasing and re-patterning what hasn ’ t served you that you are also acknowledging what does .
