In Tune With the Moon
There will be a new moon this weekend!
It is amazing to consider how many spiritual traditions reference the moon and its phases. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
In Judaism, each lunar month begins with a special new moon holiday.
Chinese culture celebrates the Moon Festival every autumn. The dates of many Hindu and Muslim festivals are determined by moon phases.
Ashtanga yoga practitioners refrain from yoga on the new and full moon. Many magical traditions hold ceremony on the new and full moon.
The spiritual teachings of various religions and practices seem to agree on a few things about the moon and its phases. These teachings include a few important concepts.
To be aware of the cycles of the moon is to be in touch with nature.
The cycles of the moon are a metaphor for the cycles of life, and a reminder that everything moves in cycles, and that change is constant.
Each moon phase has its own energy. When we are in tune with the moon, we can feel those shifting energies.
We can harness the energies of moon phases to assist our healing and manifestation work.
It is easy to attune yourself to the moon phases. Simply make a point of knowing what moon phase is happening each day. Use a calendar or app to track it. Go outside every evening and look for the moon. Spend a few minutes simply breathing with the moon and taking in its energy.
When you make this a regular practice you will notice some changes. you will become more aware of your own energy, and more able to sense energy around you. You may find that your moods change as the moon changes. You may find that you choose to do certain tasks at each phase of the moon. When this happens, you will feel find harmony in the natural rhythm and cycles that the moon provides for us.

The Tarot Moon
Major Arcana 18 is the Moon. This is one of the most interesting and confusing cards in the tarot. Older tarot books suggest this card can speak of treachery, mental illness, and deception.
Modern tarot books say that when the Moon appears we need to use our intuition and our spiritual gifts. This is a card that asks us to embrace our magical nature.
Typical keywords for Major Arcana 18 include mystery and confusion, as well as intuition.
When this card appears, recognize that things may not be as they appear. You need to look deeply and use your intuition to solve the mysteries around you. Know the difference between faith and delusion. Be careful where you put your trust.
Remember that every month the moon is born anew. When you see the Moon in a tarot reading, you may be advised to be aware of your own cycles, to allow time for your own growth and rebirth.

Guidance on the Journey
Each moon phase has its own energy. If you want to use the energy of the moon for manifestation and healing, there is a simple rule that is easy to follow.
Starting with the new moon and ending with the full moon, the moon is waxing. That mean that each day the moon increases in visibility. We see the moon becoming bigger and brighter.
When the moon the waxing is the time to bring energy into your life. What do you want to manifest? What seeds do you want to plant?
After the full moon, and before the new moon, the visible moon is diminishing each day. This is the waning moon. Use this time to release what no longer serves you. This is the best time to remove clutter from you space, to release bad habits, and let go of unhealthy attachments.
Each month you have a natural ally to help you grow in the waxing moon, and to help you heal in the waning moon.
