One way to celebrate the natural movement of life is to become more aware of the natural energic flow of the moon throughout all its phases. That energy is impacted by the time of year (where we are in the wheel of the year), as well as our own situations (where we are in our own lives.) That said, the basic rhythmn of the moon and its energies is fairly consistent. When we flow with those energies, we may find more clarity in our lives.
The New Moon presents growth and healing. The time of the new moon is a wonderful time to begin a new endeavor. It's a good time to set new goals and start working toward those goals.
The Waxing Moon presents attraction. The energy of the waxing moon helps us to gather up what we need to meet our goals. Love, money, wisdom all come easier during this time.
The Full Moon shows us where we are, what we have accomplished. It's a powerful time for evaluating and taking stock. Our vision will be clearest during the full moon. We celebrate what is good and recognize what is not.
The Waning Moon assists banishments. It's a good time to shed off what doesn't work for us, whether that means a bad habit, a relationship that is not working, or just cleaning out the closets.
Energy is in the natural world for us to tap into. That doesn't mean it is a guarantee of success or that it will do the work for us. It doesn't mean that we avoid something we must face because the time of the moon isn't right. It doesn't mean that other factors may not overwhelm it. But it's there if we pay attention and it just might help.
