Many years ago when I was a teacher, one of the elder teachers at our school said to me.” You can tell it is a full moon today.” I thought to myself, what is she talking about ? But sure enough, I started tracking it and my students would always behave in amplified ways around the full moon each month. It makes sense. I mean the moon is strong enough to move the oceans and control the tides. It can certainly handle us humans. The first phase the moon goes through each month during its 29.5 day orbit of the earth is the new moon phase.
The moon goes through five phases each month during its 29.5 day orbit of the earth. Just like its effect on the oceans and tides, the moon affects our emotions too . It can bring things to the surface and give us the chance to both manifest and release things in our lives. First up is the new moon phase . This is a chance to start over fresh each month and manifest new things into our life. During this phase, the moon is directly between earth and the sun. The illuminated half is facing away from earth which makes the new moon not visible.
The second moon phase is the crescent moon. Each night during this phase the moon reveals more of itself. Less than half of the moon will be visible and it will form a crescent shape.The quarter moon phase occurs between the new moon and the full moon. Waxing is getting bigger and building up to the full moon.During the gibbous moon, more than half of the moon is visible. At the full moon phase, the illumination and power of the moon are at its greatest. This is when you see higher tides or king tides during super full moons.
The big question with the new moon is, “What am I ready to Invite into my Life? This is the time to set your intentions for your life and chart where you want to go. Once you have decided on what you want to manifest into your life, I want you to create an affirmation for yourself. Focus on how the intention will feel once it is manifested. Do not focus on the how you will get there, only focus on what it will feel like when you do . You can also write this on paper and tuck it away once you release your intention to the Universe. If you want to give this an extra charge, put your crystals out the night of the new moon to amplify its energy throughout the month for you.
