Moon Phases for this Week: First Quarter Moon & Waxing Gibbous Moon

First Quarter Moon & Waxing Gibbous Moon

This is a week for healing. For identifying whatever is in the way of making your intention come true and kicking it to the curb once and for all. Or, at least, getting a really good start at it!

The first quarter moon phase starts today and during this moon phase, you identify the fears and blocks that might be holding you back or that might get in the way of manifesting your intention.

What are the fears, the limiting beliefs, and the unhealed memories that, so far, have blocked you from creating this intention and bringing it to life? What's in your way?

Once you have identified what's in the way, you can use a healing technique or create a ritual to help heal it, so that when the full moon phase gets here, you can empower your intention without any blocks or baggage.

Toward the end of the week, on Thursday, you can use the waxing gibbous moon phase as a sort of self-test to see if you've healed what you needed to this week. Do an intuitive reading or pay close attention to your dreams to see if you missed anything or if you're ready for the full moon extravaganza!

Have a great day!

Moon Magic Monday: Are You Getting in Your Own Way?

The Waxing Crescent Moon & the First Quarter Moon

During this week, the energy is beginning to build for whatever you have chosen as your intention this month.

Now that you have created an intention ritual for the new moon , and followed that up with a couple of days of sharing your crystals with the moonlight, this phase is a good time to gather ideas to identify what is needed to bring the intention to fruition. What will it take to make this dream come true?

And what is most likely to get in your way? This is a great time to get out your journal and really be as honest as you can about your own limitations.

During the first quarter moon phase, which occurs this week on Saturday, you identify the fears and blocks that might be holding you back or that might get in the way of manifesting your intention.

What are the fears, the limiting beliefs, and the unhealed memories that, so far, have blocked you from creating this intention and bringing it to life? What's in your way?

Once you are clear about what's in the way, you can create a ritual, and/or use healing techniques, prayer, crystal elixirs or crystal layouts and other resources to help you resolve these blocks while this moon energy is available to do so.

Have a great day!

The First Quarter Moon

The First Quarter Moon

Today is this moon cycle's First Quarter Moon...

During this moon phase, you identify the fears and blocks that might be holding you back or that might get in the way of manifesting your intention.

What are the fears, the limiting beliefs, and the unhealed memories that, so far, have blocked you from creating this intention and bringing it to life? What's in your way?

Now is the time to deal with it!

The steps are simple. The process ~ maybe not so much...

(1) Identify the Blocks: use journaling, reflection, meditation or intuitive guidance to identify the fears and blocks that are in your way.

(2) Resolve Them: create a ritual, and/or use healing techniques, prayer, crystal elixirs or crystal layouts and other resources to help you resolve these blocks while this moon energy is available to do so.

Crystals you might use for letting go of fear and replacing it with safety and security:

smoky quartz
garnet
bloodstone

Essential oils you could use: lavender, sandalwood or patchouli.

I have a vanilla-and-patchouli blend I got from Sage Goddess that I used today and it felt wonderful as soon as I put it on the bottom of my feet.

Your healing process will clear the way for a more powerful full moon experience because your energy and focus will be undiluted.

Have you already begun to identify possible blocks as you read this post? Wishing you the best as you work to resolve them.

Have a great day!

Using Moon Phases for Health & Tranquility: A Reader Request

Moon Phases for Health & Tranquility

In a comment on yesterday's post, Eyenie Schultz from LucidMusing, asked for advice about working with the moon phases for health and tranquility.

Health

With any focus on health or illness, your goal is to target the underlying issues whenever possible. What has the illness meant in your life? What might be the payoff in keeping it?

If the moon is waxing, work on creating better health; if it is waning, banish illness. For instance, during the first quarter moon, coming up this week on Thursday, you can identify what might be keeping you stuck where a health problem is concerned and create a ritual designed to help you break through those blocks.

Clear quartz crystal is a good all-purpose intensifier and a great choice in general for any intention you want to use it for, and other crystals could be chosen based on the specific health issue you're targeting.

Tranquility 

What a great goal to take through each moon phase!

Starting with setting your intention during the new moon phase, nurturing it during the waxing crescent moon phase, taking a look at what might be in the way during the first quarter moon phase and then dedicating it to the full moon and the phases that follow. You could create a ritual at each phase, or do journaling and crystal layouts, saving the ritual for the full moon.

Crystals you might use: amethyst, angelite, rose quartz, moonstone, blue calcite, selenite, desert jasper, blue lace agate, blue chalcedony and there are plenty of others.

Have a great day!
