Lunar Threads | Weaving Awareness of Moon Energies into Daily Life | The Waning Gibbous Phase

Moon Phases Series | Waning Gibbous Moon

—New | 1st Quarter | Full | Last Quarter—

Waxing Crescent | Waxing Gibbous | Waning Gibbous | Waning Crescent

Each moon phase holds a unique energetic frequency and spiritual purpose in the cycle of creation, release, and embodiment. You can learn the current moon phase with a simple web search or by using apps on your personal device. My favorite for Android is the Moon Phase Calendar.

If you're new to working with the moon energies I recommend you practice playing with the four main phases, New, 1st Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter, before including the intermediate phases of waning and waxing crescent and gibbous. You may want to explore with these four phases for a month, three months, or more - a good rule of thumb is to feel comfortable with them and understand them to the degree that you no longer need to reference this information to understand how to weave their energies into your daily life.

The following information will serve as a basic foundation for the Lunar Thread weaving of the waning gibbous moon energies. Please, always, explore your own inner-standing in relation to this information and take inspired action from grounded sovereignty.

Waning Gibbous Moon | Gratitude + Integration

Also called the Disseminating Moon

After the intensity of the Full Moon, this phase invites reflection, gratitude and meditation. Let go of control as you process lessons, share your wisdom, and honor the journey so far. Practice trust in the universe.

Waning Gibbous Reflections: 

• What am I grateful for right now?

• What wisdom have I gained from this cycle?

• What will I do differently next time?

• How can I share or embody this growth?

  • It can be helpful to put these thoughts down on paper. You may even want to use project planner pages and habit trackers to plan or map out the inspired actions and ways you will integrate/embody this growth.

Meditation

“The Wisdom Within” | Gratitude & Integration

Place one hand on your heart, the other on your solar plexus. Reflect on what you’ve learned or experienced. Say silently or aloud: “Thank you.” Visualize golden light wrapping around you like a cocoon, integrating your growth.

Whisper: “I honor my journey and all it has taught me.”

Lunar Manifestation Energy Flow

New Moon | New beginnings. Dream about what you want to create

Waxing Crescent | Now set the intention to create it

1st Quarter | Take inspired action on what you are creating

Waxing Gibbous | Continue to hold the intention aligned with the inspired action - trust that your creation is taking form

Full Moon | Express gratitude for your creation and 'harvest' all blessings from the experience as well as any learnings and releasing that is being illuminated... The learnings and releasing will be weaved into the next two phases.

Waning Gibbous | Reflect on and integrate the learnings

Last Quarter | Release what no longer serves you

Waning Crescent | Rest

Until next time, enjoy the expansion my friends! ✨
