How to Use the Moon Phases to Manifest

How to Use the Moon Phases to Manifest

If you’ve been following me on Instagram over the past few months, you may have noticed that I’ve been sharing intentions and journaling prompts aligned with the phases of the moon. I personally love the idea of using moon phases to set intentions and to help open and close cycles in my life. So, today I wanted to give you a little overview of the moon phases and what they each represent if you too would like to use the natural cycle of the moon as a guide for manifesting and intention setting.

New Moon
As the name suggests, the new moon phase is all about new beginnings and setting intentions for what we want to manifest over the next few weeks. Consider the new moon a clean slate, a time for gathering your thoughts and making an intentional plan for what you’d like to achieve in the coming days and weeks.

New Moon Mantra: I have a clear vision for what I will manifest.

Waxing Moon Phases
The term waxing moon refers to the phase where the moon is beginning to fill up with light. Common moon phases during this cycle are the waxing crescent (moon is less then half filled with visible light) , first quarter moon (moon is exactly half filled with visible light) and waxing gibbous (moon is more than half filled with visible light). The waxing phases of the moon are a time to take action on your intentions and refine your plans. No plan goes in precise order, so during this phase consider how you can find ways to overcome obstacles and continue to move forward towards your objective and intentions.

Waxing Moon Mantra: With each step I take I feel joyful anticipation for the arrival of my manifestation.

Full Moon
The full moon phase is a time for reaping and harvesting your rewards. If you’ve been taking action over the past few weeks, you should have results to show for your efforts. Now is the time to enjoy and receive them. Celebrate what you’ve accomplished and indulge in the fruits of your labor.

Full Moon Mantra: My manifestation is now coming to fruition.

Waning Moon Phases
The term waning moon refers to the phase where the visible light of the moon is shrinking. Common moon phases during this cycle are the waning gibbous (moon is still more than half filled with visible light), third quarter moon (moon is exactly half filled with visible light), and waning crescent (moon is less than half filled with visible light). The waning phases of the moon are a time to reflect and surrender to the unknown. This is the ideal time to rest and rebuild your energy stores for the next new moon cycle of action. Although it may be difficult to sit back and trust that all will be well, patience is an important step in the manifestation process that follows a period of action and activity. There is only so much we can do to control an outcome, so now it is time to believe in the power of your intention and manifestation.

Waning Moon Mantra: I rest peacefully knowing my manifestation is nearly complete.

I hope this guide to manifesting with the moon phases provides you a simple strategy to intention setting and working with the natural flow of energy to bring your objectives to fruition. I’d love to hear how this process works for you, and of course for more moon manifestation and intention setting tools, make sure to follow me on Instagram @MissTrenchcoat.
