Moon Phases

The New Moon The New Moon is observed when the moon is directly in line with the Sun and Earth, but out of our view from Earth, because the Moon's dark side is facing the Earth, making it appear dark. Many believe that the energy of the New Moon is a time of transformation, new beginnings, an explosion of creative energy and personal growth The new moon is seen as a wonderful time to perform rituals of blessing and healing. A time to focus on our desires and dreams of what we want to manifest now. Look within to discover what we really want. A chance to discern our deepest truest, desires and manifest them naturally. The Waxing Moon When the moon appears to be gaining light and growing in energy and size, this is a Waxing Moon. Moving from a New Moon towards a Full Moon. The energy of the waxing moon is that of manifestation and intention. This is a time to focus on new projects and ideas. The Waxing Moon would be a great time to wear your chosen crystal for abundance and prosperity. Stones such as Aventurine, Malachite, Citrine and Ruby are excellent Abundance Stones that would support the energy of the Waxing Moon. The period of the waxing moon lasts about 14 days. The Full Moon Lunar energy is at its most powerful during the time of the full moon. The reason we clean our Stones by the full moon is because this extremely powerful lunar energy helps to remove all dense, stored up energies, washing the crystal clean (like the tides cleanse the beaches) and re-energizing it. It is a time of enhancing personal and crystalline energies. Many perform rituals of protection at this time. Is a time for focusing on our gratitude’s and blessing’s. It is a time to be mindful of all that we have, and all that we have created. A time to express and receive, to open our hearts and feel the connection we have all around us and fill our cups. The Waning Moon Directly after the light of the full moon has passed that the light begins to grow less visible each night, is a Waning Moon. The energy of the Waning Moon can be used to remove those energies and issues that no longer serve you such as letting go of a relationship that may be toxic. It is also leading up to the new moon which can be a time of rest and energy restoration. It is a beautiful reminder to rest, recoup, recharge. Stones that carry an energy of unconditional love are perfect during this time as they are a reminder that taking care of the self is as important as anything else that you do. For if the self is not healthy and whole, you truly cannot be of complete service to others. Stones such as Rhodochrosite, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Ruby in Fuchsite, Pink Kunzite and/or Danburite work well with the Waning Moon.
