Module 2
The moon’s phases are like a roadmap, offering guidance on when to set intentions, take action, reflect, and release. By aligning your actions with each phase, you can create more balance and flow in your life. Each phase carries its own unique energy, helping you harness moments of growth, clarity, and rest. Learning to work with this natural rhythm can deepen your connection to yourself and the world around you.
The Four Key Moon Phases
**New Moon (Fresh Starts):** A time for introspection and setting intentions. The sky is dark, representing a blank slate to start new projects or goals.
**Waxing Moon (Growth and Momentum):** As the moon grows, so does the energy for taking action. This is the time to work on your goals and make progress.
**Full Moon (Illumination and Celebration):** A time of heightened energy, clarity, and manifestation. The full light of the moon shines on what’s working—and what isn’t.
**Waning Moon (Release and Renewal):** As the moon fades, it’s time to let go of what’s holding you back. This is a period of rest, reflection, and clearing space for new opportunities.
Crystal Recommendations for Each Phase
New Moon: Labradorite (intention-setting, transformation)
Waxing Moon: Carnelian (motivation, energy), Green Aventurine (growth, abundance)
Full Moon: Moonstone (clarity, intuition), Clear Quartz (amplification)
Waning Moon: Amethyst (release, peace), Black Tourmaline (protection, clearing negativity)
