Manifesting with the Moon Cycle
Learn why aligning with the moon cycle is such a powerful part of the manifesting process.
The most important foundations of powerful manifesting are learning to tune in to nature and align with your highest self. By embracing the laws of the Universe, you’ll become confident in your ability to create a life you love with grace, speed, and ease!
Let’s start with one of the simplest and most powerful ways to attune to Universe: Getting aligned with the Moon Cycles!
Let’s Start With The Basics: How the Moon Cycles Work
If you have never purposely utilized the energy of the moon before, the most important thing to understand is that the moon goes through a full phase every month. As the moon travels, it affects the tides, animal behavior, plant behavior, and human behavior too.
As humans, our cognitive functions makes us feel like we’re in control of everything. We believe we can choose how we feel, and we DO have a great deal of power to influence our own energy and create our own reality. However, we don’t exist in a vacuum. We live within a solar system, full of energy in motion. You don’t need to be a mystic in order to understand that we're being affected by the other planets, stars, and of course by the moon, which is the closest thing to us.
In the past, our ancestors were much more in tune with the natural cycles of the year. They used the energy of the moon for:
Planting and harvesting
Preparing for changes in seasons and weather
Navigating the oceans and forests
In modern times, most of us live by our calendars, making plans and setting goals at the beginnings of weeks, months or quarter of the year. Society has developed these rigid constructs to manage our time, without regard to the rhythms of nature.
Recently, there’s been a movement to retune our lives with nature, and one of the simplest and most effective ways to tap into its powerful energy is through aligning with the Moon Cycles. It takes about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to the next new Moon).
What does the New Moon represent?
Fresh Start
New Cycle
Transformation
Beginnings
Conception
Historically, time for planting seeds
The New Moon is the perfect time to get focused on your goals and set CLEAR INTENTIONS. You’ll have the energy of the moon boosting your own energetic focus and your INSPIRED ACTION, to help you turn these dreams into reality.

And what about the Full Moon?
The Full Moon is a time to see what has come to fruition, taking stock of our progress and celebrating with GRATITUDE. After focusing on the positives, we also take stock of the perceived negatives, and set the intention to decrease and RELEASE these from our life. Full Moon ceremonies help us to let go of things that are no longer serving and make more space for all the good things to come.
What usually holds us back from success is holding onto things from our past and allowing them to weigh us down and drain our energy.

Once you’re aligned with the moon cycles, it’s time to manifest your big goals and dreams!
When we manifest, we are working with Universal Energy. We can ask for what we want and trust that the universe will provide. At the same time, we DO need to move in the direction of our desires. We want our energy moving toward what we want so that it can flow more easily into our life. Now that you know what you want, it’s time to decide what you intend to do as your part of the bargain. What are some steps that you can take that will help you to feel the feeling you desire?
As you set your intentions for the next new moon, remember what you learned during this cycle. The next thing we can do is learn and grow with each new step we take. The more you use this process the more aligned you become with its energy. Like all things in life, practice makes better and better and better!
