After my parents passed, I came to a crossroads in my life. My parents and I were extremely close, so I went through a dark period of heavy grief. During the last stages of my healing and acceptance, I discovered many tools that helped me get back to my happiness. Lunar energy was one of the most powerful tools that helped me regain some peace.
I first dabbled with lunar energy after a conversation with my dear friend and neighbor at the time. She told me I could use the full moon to energize my crystals (another story for another time). So, every full moon, I’d set out my collection to charge. A few months later, I received an invitation to join a full moon drumming circle. At the circle, I learned that the moon has phases that run in a monthly cycle. The full moon phase was the night’s focus, but I was curious to know about the other phases also. So after leaving that night, I started my research, which led to unlocking lunar energy power for myself!
However, in the beginning, I was extremely confused with my research. I found conflicting opinions regarding the actual start of the moon’s cycle. Conventional wisdom and most people agree that the moon has eight phases, starting with the new moon. Others say the dark moon and new moon are interchangeable, so either can describe the start of a new cycle.
So which is it?
Like all other metaphysical practices I research, I call upon my Inner Goddess and ancestors’ wisdom for the answer. This wisdom is sort of like a tailor; it guides me in understanding what is best for me.
Even though I regularly follow the moon’s cycle, it wasn’t so regular in the beginning. So, I used this fantastic moon calendar app to help me stay on track and develop a routine. With the app, I learned, “There can be a difference up to 2 days between astrological moon day and moon age”. Therefore, I adjusted my routine to utilize the dark and new moon’s energy over two days.
For me, the dark moon signifies the ending of one cycle and the introduction to a new cycle. On this day, there is absolutely no light illuminating from the moon, hence the dark moon. It happens after the waning crescent has waned to complete darkness, which is why I separate this energy into a separate phase. During the dark moon, I seek guidance for which intentions I should be setting for the new cycle.
There are many ways I do this; it just depends on my mood. I may go directly to my Inner Goddess with a meditation. I may invoke my angels or spirit guides. I may play Rock Band with my ancestors. I may consult the cards. The takeaway here is to get guidance from a higher power before moving forward.
After seeking guidance, I set intentions (based on that guidance) for what needs to be accomplished for the cycle (manifesting).
The following day, which many regard as the crescent moon phase, I consider the actual new moon (tailored for my journey). On this day, we begin to see the tiniest sliver of light, which grows more powerful day by day. I use this light and the new moon’s energy to create an action plan to manifest everything I’ve been guided to accomplish for the cycle. This plan is specific and ready for action! We begin implementing this plan the next day as the waxing crescent phase gets underway.
It took me several years to adapt to this routine, but it works for me. You may choose to use the conventional new moon-only calendar, which is how I started with lunar energy. However, it may be more beneficial for you to add in the dark moon as well. Of course, I used so many cheat sheets when I was trying to learn how to use lunar energy. So, do what feels right for you and happy manifesting!!!
