Journaling prompt:
How can I become more aware of the moon cycle? Am I aware of what phase the Moon is in today? Which phase of the Moon do I most identify with, right now? Do I consider myself to be psychic or intuitive?
Your Moon Spark:
Begin to track the phases of the moon, through observing Her right where you live. Notice where and when She rises and sets on the horizon near your home. Find a lunar calendar like this one. Look up the dates for the coming New and Full Moons, and mark them on your calendar.
For the three days following a New Moon, look for the tiny crescent of Diana’s Bow in the western sky, just after sunset. Watch for the waxing First Quarter Moon (halfway between New and Full) to appear in the sky around noon, and to set around midnight.
During the three days of the Full Moon (the day before, the day of, and the day after), find a place where you can watch the sunset in the west, then turn to see the full moon rise in the east. Look for the waning Third Quarter Moon (halfway between Full and Dark/New) to rise around midnight and set around noon.
Where in the sky will you find La Luna Bella tonight?
I recently downloaded an app to my phone that is called “Phases of the Moon” and it has tons of information readily available. I am also constantly reading through my Witch planner and almanacs, in an attempt to get better at knowing where the moon is at in her cycles offhand.
Tonight, the moon is in its Waning Gibbous phase. 98% illuminated. This moon is 16 days old, and moving from Pisces into Aries.
This is good time to relate to others. There is a need to share knowledge and information with others. It is likely that at some point during this time you will talk to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. There is a step up in social networking as well during this phase (and will decrease during the next two phases).
This is a time of great change and/or transmutation, when we get one final burst of an outlet or creativity. We have just come out of a period where we were able to see ourselves and others objectively, and we became aware of whether what we wanted deep down was beginning to manifest (or not). Now, the accumulation of all that awareness, of all that sight and understanding, is moving into the depths of our being, causing core-level changes or feelings within.
It is natural for people to look for prayer or guidance during this time to help better incorporate these changes, or this transmutation. This phase is most well suited for seeking counseling. We don’t feel as challenged in life. There is a bit of an ease taking shape. We are reflective. This can be a depressing or moody time if one is not careful. Instead of brooding, go to a show perhaps. Do something relaxing, read a book or some other diverting activity.
*Because there seems no more challenge, we start to perceive an increase in desire for change. However, it’s not the time to incorporate sudden changes, no matter how much we want them, unless they are of rather minor importance. This isn’t the time to suddenly end a relationship or move or make any drastic change if you can help it. *
A sample affirmation would be: DIVINE LOVE IS NOW WORKING THROUGH ME TO ADJUST ALL THE DETAILS OF MY LIFE.
