When you live more fully by the natural cycles and rhythms of the universe, the New and Full Moons can keep you in an abundant flow
When you consider that we are all pulled and affected by Earth’s rotations and gravity, it becomes quite obvious that we, too, move in and out of cycles.
Ancient wisdoms and cultures knew this: they would use the moon to farm, to fish and conceive, to celebrate milestones.
The changing phases of the New and Full Moons can help you set goals, create more abundance and connect more deeply with your own inner wisdom.
Each phase of the moon can be categorized as either a Yin or a Yang phase
Each phase of the moon can be categorized as either a yin or a yang phase and working with these phases is a major key to bringing all forms of real abundance into existence.
Full Moons are Yang phases and are about doing, taking action and moving forward.
New Moons are Yin phases and remind us to slow down, rest reflect, review, renew and allow ourselves to connect inwardly more.
New Moons are Yin energy phases - reflective, calm, optomistic
The New Moon is a powerful time of beginnings, making it the perfect opportunity to plant the seeds of your future goals and intentions.
Yin phases are all about fresh starts, new opportunities, and quiet reflection. Think of the New Moon as a blank canvas—use this phase to dream big and set your intentions for the weeks ahead.
Take a moment to write down your aspirations, whether they’re related to work, personal growth, or health. Be specific and positive about what you want to invite into your life.
This focused intention-setting helps you align with the energy of growth and possibility.
In your professional life, the New Moon is a great time for brainstorming and planning
Take time to evaluate what’s working and where you’d like to see progress. Is there a new project you’ve been eager to start? Are you considering learning a skill that could elevate your career?
This is the moment to map out those goals and take small, meaningful steps toward them.
Even if the path isn’t entirely clear yet, trust that this is the beginning of something significant.
The quiet energy of the New Moon also encourages introspection, so listen to your intuition—it often holds valuable insights for professional growth.
For your health and well-being, the New Moon serves as a reminder to pause, reset, and take care of yourself
It’s a great time to establish healthy habits, start a new fitness routine, or adopt a self-care practice like mindfulness or better sleep hygiene. Think about what you’d like to improve or enhance in your life, and start small - perhaps it’s committing to drinking more water or spending time outdoors each day?
The New Moon encourages gentle, deliberate action rather than overexertion, making it a perfect moment to focus on balance and renewal.
Embrace the stillness of this phase, and you’ll set a strong foundation for positive change.
Full Moons are more action-orientated Yang energy phases
Yang energy is action-orientated … it is a time when the light reveals and clarifies your intentions and goals and you take action to manifest them.
Working with Full Moon energy can be a transformative experience
Harnessing the energy of the Full Moon can be a transformative experience, bringing clarity, release, and a fresh sense of purpose to your work, life, and health.
The Full Moon symbolizes completion and illumination, offering a perfect moment to reflect on your achievements and let go of what no longer serves you.
To make the most of this powerful phase, start by setting aside some time for self-reflection. Journaling under the moonlight is a wonderful practice—write about your goals, celebrate your progress, and identify anything holding you back.
Whether it’s a limiting belief, a lingering project, or a habit you'd like to change, the Full Moon’s energy can help you release it with gratitude, creating space for something new.
The Full Moon is an excellent time to assess your work relationships and tasks in your professional life
Focus on clarity—are you on track toward your goals? Do your current projects align with your bigger vision?
You might find that creative ideas come more easily during this time, as the heightened energy of the moon often enhances intuition and inspiration. Use this opportunity to tie up loose ends and make decisions that propel you forward.
Practising gratitude for your accomplishments and challenges alike can also amplify your sense of purpose and motivation.
The Full Moon is a great time to recharge and realign your health and well-being
Consider engaging in gentle activities like yoga, meditation, or a cleansing ritual bath to connect with your body and mind.
Many people find it helpful to ground themselves during this energetic time—spend time in nature, take a walk under the moonlight, or simply sit barefoot on the earth. These practices can help balance the heightened emotional energy that often accompanies a Full Moon.
By working in harmony with this lunar phase, you can experience a deeper sense of calm, focus, and renewal.
