The moon has held humanity in its silvery thrall since the beginning of time. Ancient civilisations planted crops, held ceremonies, and made decisions based on lunar cycles. Modern science confirms what mystics have always known: the moon affects water — and since our bodies are 60% water, it affects us too.
The Eight Lunar Phases
**New Moon:** New beginnings, setting intentions, planting seeds. The sky is dark — perfect for turning inward.
**Waxing Crescent:** Building momentum, taking first steps, staying committed to your intentions.
**First Quarter:** Decision-making, overcoming obstacles, pushing through resistance.
**Waxing Gibbous:** Refining, adjusting, preparing for the fullness ahead.
**Full Moon:** Culmination, peak energy, heightened emotions, completion, and celebration.
**Waning Gibbous:** Gratitude, sharing wisdom, integrating lessons learned.
**Last Quarter:** Release, forgiveness, letting go of what no longer serves.
**Waning Crescent:** Rest, reflection, surrender. Prepare to begin again.
Practical Tips for Each Phase
The moon doesn't control you — but when you move with her rhythms, life flows with far less resistance.
