Begin the set of meditations gathered below with the next New Moon. That is when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun and no light is reflected back at us here on Earth. It has traditionally been a time when people set intentions, plant seeds, and use the cycle for manifesting the things we want more of in our lives. When the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are lined up like this, we get our biggest tides because the solar and the lunar gravitational pulls are working together. And so, I offer, you can work with them too, when you take the time to pause with each phase and let the moon have its place alongside the Sun’s daily push and pull.

Gathered below the pay wall are the practices that will take you through the Moon’s monthlong journey around our Earth. Listen to these at each corresponding moon phase. How will know when these Primary Moon Phases transpire?
