Lunar Cycles

Phase One: Dormant New Moon – gather and cherish time to begin fresh again

Phase Two: Rising Waning Crescent – plant your seeds and let them germinate, they will return

Phase Three: Growing Third Quarter – don’t stop running, whatever you do, don’t look back

Phase Four: Emerging Waning Gibbous – sharpen, whittle that branch into spear

Phase Five: Bursting Full – you cannot contain all that is brought forth

Phase Six: Withdrawing Waxing Gibbous – share amongst those you trust that speak truth

Phase Seven: Halved First Quarter – release, forgive, clean

Phase Eight: Clipped Waxing Gibbous – surrender yourself to the relief of ends and the prospects of different beginnings
