Using the Moon for Co-creating with the Cosmos

NEW MOON –  Time to use your imagination.  Unseen potentials. Seed. Set Intentions. 

FIRST QUARTER – Seedling pushes through dirt. Nurture, observe, Review, weed, take action. 

FULL MOON – Full Flower, Full Awareness, Celebration. Commit. Still time to weed. 

LAST QUARTER – Harvest. Reap rewards (or karma). Sort, review. Mix new seeds with prize seeds

Lunar Gestation Cycles

The moon also travels in lunar families with each quarter happening every nine months. The New Moon begins the Lunar family. Each nine month quarter is a great time to look back at the last nine months to see how much you have grown, what you would like to let go, and what you would like to harvest.

I have found that many of the intentions I set on or around a given new moon come to fruition around two to three years later – while some adventures begin about nine months after setting the intention.

I have been working with the moon phases since the 1990s. I love tracking time with the moon! 

Check out the Cancer New Moon Tarot Draw – it’s a very good time to set new intentions. 

If you are interested in going deeper in working with moon cycles and want to learn more – I am currently reading and recommend a book by Sydney Francis that is chockfull of wisdom and embodiment exercises called Activating Lunar Alchemy: The Mystical Art of Transmuting Your Emotional Pain Into Spiritual Abundance.

Peace and love –
