The power of the sun and moon
The moon and the sun send out energy frequencies in waves that greatly impact the tides of earth’s bodies of water as well as the water within our bodies. This arouses our emotions, behavior and consciousness.
The sun represents our outer world, identity, personality and ego. It represents how we present ourselves to the world, the present moment and our yang (of yin and yang) or the masculine side within each of us. As humans, we draw strength and courage from the sun and it gives us insight into our own soul.
The moon influences our inner world, hidden emotions and desires as well as our fears, worries and dreams. It represents our subconscious beliefs, feelings, the past and our yin side or femininity within each of us. The moon provides us the ability to hopefully learn from the past, experience emotions and feelings and express our creativity.

The four phases of the moon and what affect they have
The new moon is the first of four general moon phases in the 29-day lunar cycle.
During the new moon is an ideal time to set your intentions, write down goals or start new projects. The new moon is a very good time to focus on your mind, spirit and body. It is also the best time to work toward manifesting whatever you may be desiring or needing.
The second lunar phase is known as the waxing moon.
During the waxing moon, allow your dreams and curiosity to guide you to bring your manifesting efforts into form.
Release your fears and feel your manifestations to come to fruition. Invite synchronicity into your life, believe in magic, see a world more beautiful through your heart rather than your mind. Allow abundance, joy, laughter and happiness into your life.
The full moon falls at the halfway mark of the 29-day lunar cycle. The full moon can be quite challenging for some people due to the intense release of energy it sends out. The moon is at its most powerful and is the ideal time to express heartfelt gratitude for your manifestations to come to fruition. If they have not yet, then speak “as if” or as if they have.
The full moon can cause tension and uncomfortable friction. It is a time of heightened emotions, feelings and mental processes. Dreams are much more vivid and almost life-like at times. During this phase, you may experience more intense feelings of gratitude and see life in general with a tremendous deal of clarity. Your creativity will be at its peak and you may feel sensual experiences on a much deeper level. The full moon is the best time to end or let go of any aspects of your life that are not working toward your highest good. It is a great time to start a new diet or end a negative relationship of any kind.
The full moon is a great time to take a moon bath and recharge. This is done by simply sitting outside in the bright shining light of the moon. As you sit there, work to breathe in the healing light then release any negativity as you exhale. It is also a very good time to charge or recharge any crystals or magical tools you use.
Lastly, there is the waning moon which is the best time to reflect and take an inventory of your own thoughts, feelings and emotions. It is the perfect time to reassess the varied relationships in your life, your work, your creativity, your health and general well-being.
The waning moon is an excellent time to acknowledge your accomplishments and strengths as well as your personal growth. This is also the ideal time of the month to take note of any negative thoughts, thinking, behaviors, as well as bad habits or anxiety and stress and work to release them. This is also the time to rest and recharge yourself after the hyper-intense effects of the full moon. Go forward into the next new moon with a fresher perspective and see the powerful potential of the upcoming manifesting phase.
