What the phases mean
New Moon — a time of intentions and quiet. Tradition advises against starting important things on the day itself, but it is good for wishes and planning.
Waxing Moon — a time of growth: start things, meet people, invest in the new. Whatever you begin now traditionally gains strength.
Full Moon — the peak of emotions and energy. Good for celebrations and finishing things, but keep important conversations calm: feelings run high.
Waning Moon — a time to finish, clear out and let go: wrap up tasks, get rid of the unnecessary, rest.
