The phases of the moon have an affect on us both physically, mentally and emotionally as we learned in part one of the series of How Moon Phases Affect Us- New Moon Phase which shared helpful information all about the affect of the New Moon. In this post I wanted to share with you all about the Waxing Crescent Moon and how it can affect our mind and body.
The phases of the moon are easy to understand once you remember that the moon is always either waxing or waning, The Waxing crescent phase lasting from the New Moon (when the moon is hidden from our sight in a darkened sky) to the First Quarter is about a week long. When the moon is Waxing it appears to be growing and its magnetic energy assists with bringing things to fruition. This waxing period is the best time to be constructive and productive and can bring positive opportunities into your life.
How the Waxing Crescent Moon Affects Us
The Waxing Crescent Moon phase can be very helpful for sparking creativity, coming up with ideas for projects, beginning plans, and acquiring objects. It can be thought of in gardening terms as the sprouting period. The seeds of intention were sowed with the Dark/New Moon and begin to sprout during this first moon phase. While not as potent as a New Moon or a Full Moon the Waxing Crescent Moon can have an increasing positive affect on our behavior and outlook. If you have an interest to conjure positive energies into your life such as more patience, more understanding in your relationship or a more positive attitude, this is the perfect timing to work on such goals. This period is a powerful time to get things moving in the right direction and closer to what you want to achieve.
How to Harness the Power of the Waxing Crescent Moon
During the waxing crescent moon it is very beneficial time to reflect, meditate and visualize to bring inspiration and passion into the intentions that you set with the new moon. This is a period of regeneration and growth, anything you do to strengthen and take care of yourself is more effective when the moon is waxing. Take advantage of this time to attract abundance and bring positive change into your life. This phase is the time to step outside of your comfort zone to bring you closer to what you really want in your life!
Happy Waxing Crescent!
