Manifesting With The Moon Phases

The Moon affects all life on Earth and paying attention to her phases, and planning accordingly, can be especially useful in our spiritual practice and in manifesting our wishes and desires.

You can improve your life circumstances by planning events or personal prayers for manifestation around the phases of the Moon. It is also useful in the clearing of unwanted energetic influences.

Throughout the ages, in many belief systems, the Moon is seen as a Lunar deity or goddess. I regularly meditate on her divine presence, while attending to what I wish to manifest within the timing of the lunar energy.

The power of the monthly phases of the Moon can be utilized for manifesting as follows:

New Moon

The phase of the Moon when it first appears as a slender crescent, shortly after its conjunction with the Sun. A time of preparing one’s goals to manifest.

Waxing Moon

A few days after the New Moon one can see a clear crescent lit by the Sun. This is a perfect time for manifesting anything you wish to increase in matters of finances and career. It is also a perfect time for planting all seeds. Remember, the period from the New Moon to the Full Moon are the days of increase.

The moon is our nightly reminder of the sacred. She is the story of the mystery of life and all its journeys of wild fullness and quiet disappearing. She is our lighthouse in the celestial sky—a mother, a teacher, an ancient guide ~ Veronica Varlow

First Quarter

Exactly half of the Waxing Moon becomes lit by the Sun. The Moon is now one fourth of the way through her lunar cycle. A time for manifesting love, luck, and all aspects of healing.

Waxing Gibbous

More of the Waxing Moon is now illuminated than dark. This illuminated portion continues to grow until the Moon becomes full. A time for introspection, stillness and prayer.

Full Moon

At the Full Moon, the Moon’s surface is now fully illuminated, and we see her entire circle in the sky. All desires to manifest may be entertained at this powerful time in the Moon cycle.

Waning Gibbous

The illuminated portion of the Waning Moon is still larger than the dark section, but night after night it shrinks smaller. A time for eliminating or clearing all negative energies and influences. Think of it as a time for purification and releasing what no longer serves you.

Third Quarter

The Moon is once again half-lit and three fourths of the way through her cycle. A time not only for rest and rejuvenation, but for manifesting success with activities or aspirations of a judicial or legal nature.

Waning Crescent

The Moon returns to sliver in the sky just before sunrise, until the Moon and Sun will rise again at the same time to restart the cycle with the next New Moon. A time of meditation and introspection. A time to meditate on how we can better not only ourselves, but the circumstances of all sentient beings.
