Intuitive Timing: Using the Monthly New Moon
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
which taken at the flood leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
is bound in shallows and in miseries.”
[William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar]
It has been said many times that timing is everything. However
which timing to use can be so confusing. Many systems, many
ideas, many concepts.
One basic, simple system that I have seen work thousands of
times, is to use 2 parts of the lunar cycle.
The first is the period from the New Moon to the Full Moon, and
the second is the period from the Full Moon to the New Moon.
The Waxing Phase:
The New Moon, which is the darkest phase of the Moon, is also the
start of a two week period where the moon increases in light. New
Moons are optimal times to set new intentions. One cycle is
ending, while another cycle is beginning.
The New Moon is the first part of the lunar cycle. The New Moon
is the part of the lunar cycle to focus within to create or
“plant” your intention. This intention is your vision for what
you want to create, grow and transform during this lunar cycle.
If you take this idea and apply it into your life, the waxing
moon is the time to begin
to plant your new seeds. These are seeds of taking action that
brings a new idea into physical reality, or that begins a new
relationship, or just opening to yourself that you really want a
change. The waxing moon is a time of action.
The New Moon is a powerful time to start new projects. It is the
time to take action. First have a clear intention and take action
from that intention.
The second part of this cycle is the period of time between the
Full Moon and the New Moon- the Waning Phase.
The Waning Moon phase is when the Moon is decreasing in light.
This is a time to complete and review. It is not a good time to
begin a new project. This is due to the lessening of the energies
of the lunar cycle. Projects that are started during a Waning
Phase tend to be one’s that are not completed.
During the Waning Moon phase is a perfect time to give out and
share the knowledge, insights and any profits from your actions.
Clear your life of projects and business that has not been
completed. Clear your working space, finish all the
administrative work that you have been delaying until now. All of
these actions will allow you to benefit from the next New Moon.
If the opportunity arises for a new project or you have a great
new idea, it is best to just let it stay on the back burner until
the next New Moon. The New Moon will usually provide a very
changed perspective on ideas and projects.
The simplest way to understand both timing cycles is to use the
New Moon to Full Moon time for action, and the Full Moon to New
Moon time for reflection and planning the next action phase.
Most calendars have the New Moon and Full Moon dates listed on
them. Try this timing in your business and personal life. It will
attract great success to your work and personal life.
