Understand Waning Crescent Moon Energy

The Waning Crescent Moon phase is ideal for releasing energetic ties to projects, situations, and events that do not serve you. I offer you an intuition ceremony.

Hi there,

The Waning Crescent Moon is all about intuition, reflection, and release.

Over the past few moon newsletters, I’ve been sending information about working with the moon phases and how they impact our flow with the intention of bringing understanding to the cycles of our emotional bandwidth and behaviors.

Tracking your experience of the phases will teach you:

• When to focus your energy on creative projects

• When you’ll likely need more down time to stay in balance

• When you might feel a bit out of sorts - hello full moon!

• How to plan your schedule so that you’ll be more in flow

• When to let go of the “shoulds” around getting things done

I invite you to try out tracking your flow for a cycle or two to see whether or not you consistently experience similar energy. For example, you are awash in creative ideas during the waxing gibbous moon.

As each one of us is different, these posts are guides to help you track your energy, emotions, and behavior over time so that you are using lunar energy to your advantage rather than struggling against it.

To understand more about the science of the phases, here’s a link to NASA.

Although you can jump in to track yourself at any point in the moon phases, the flow of the lunar cycle is as follows:

Dark Days (when the moon is dark 1.5-3 days depending on your elliptical latitude, New Moon occurs in this time period)

New Moon

Waxing (growing) Crescent Moon

1st Quarter Moon

Waxing Gibbous Moon

Full Moon

Waning (fading) Gibbous Moon

2nd Quarter Moon

Waning Crescent Moon

Repeat
