“This is a new beginning. A time to consider our intentions and what we want to achieve during the coming 28 day lunar cycle,” says Orre.
“We may feel tired or want to be more introspective during the run up to the New Moon phase (also known as the dark moon when she is not visible in the night sky),” she goes on. “Pay attention to deep desires that surface now as they are clues about where to focus our attention for the next 28 days. It’s an optimum time for journaling and meditation to bring more awareness to what we truly want.”
Waxing Crescent
As the sun moves closer to the New Moon, it illuminates the moon and presents a crescent, hence the name Waxing Crescent.
“This is one week after the New Moon when she is at a challenging angle (Square) to the Sun,” Orre tells us. “This presents a friction and resistant energy between the Sun and the Moon and it manifests in challenges to the intentions we set during the New Moon phase.”
This week represents intention, hopes and wishes, and this is the time when you should begin to develop your desires for the month ahead and laying down the mental groundwork.
First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter simply means the point where the moon reaches the first quarter, which is one week after the New Moon. Typically, around this point in the cycle, we tend to start feeling resistance with our manifestations.
“It’s a time to put our thoughts from the New Moon phase into action,” she says. “A time to dig a little deeper into the direction we are heading and if what we want is a true desire or if we are being held back by any fears (often dressed as resistance, doubt, avoidance or procrastination). If fear is standing in our way, it’s a time to step through it and out of our comfort zones.”
Waxing Gibbous
Scientifically, the Waxing Gibbous is the phase leading up to the full moon. The moon is easily seen as a large portion is illuminated by the sun. Similarly, to the First Quarter, during the Waxing Gibbous we will need to readjust, refine, and edit our goals.
Full Moon
A Full Moon occurs when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, which subsequently means the sun is completely illuminating the moon. As the sun and the moon are also opposite Zodiac signs, this will create feelings of tension and unease, as we fight the balance between two extremes.
“This is a culmination and middle point of the lunar cycle when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun so all of the Sun’s light is reflected on the Moon ́s surface. This is when we can see everything for what it is. The energy is high and volatile. Often we have difficulty sleeping,” Orre says.
“Symbolically the Full Moon phase is a time when all the things that are normally hidden from us are now made visible,” she adds. “We may receive news, inner awareness or downloads, or information from an external source. It’s the time of the lunation to show the world what we are working towards, to own what we want fully or let it go and take flight!
