The energy tides of the Lunar Cycle are perfect for projects, dreams and magicks that you are bringing into your life. The NEW MOON begins a new cycle and is excellent for initiating projects and doing ceremony or meditation for increase and growth. The time between the New and Full Moon is known as the Waxing moon, meaning the moon is growing in size and outward strength. During this time, meditations and spells for increase can be done effectively. The FULL MOON brings power and energy to both the seed you have planted at the New Moon or to fulfill a long-term goal or desire. The time between the Full Moon and the New Moon is known as the Waning moon; meaning the moon is decreasing in size but gaining in inward strength. It is a time to go inward to receive wisdom and information and to let go of things, attitudes or people who no longer contribute to your life or are detrimental to your goals.
