As the moon grows, its energy becomes more expansive and nurturing, and in the same way, so does ours. Energetically, this is the time to plant the seeds for the situations and circumstances that we want to see come about in the short term ahead.
When the Moon is in the waxing crescent phase, and whilst it’s starting to increase in size in the sky, the Moon's creative energy is not yet at its full strength. This means it’s best to focus on short-term projects that you want to see come to fruition quickly. This is not the phase to go about making huge life-changing decisions or to start a new major project. Instead, it’s best to take small action steps towards your immediate goals and intentions.
Those intentions you set on the New Moon can start coming into fruition when you start working on them when the moon is waxing. This means that the oils you use in the waxing phase should be ones to keep you energised and focused on your New Moon intentions. It’s also good to work with essential oils that can help you to clear any negativity, an any doubts or fears so that you can focus outward with positivity towards manifesting what you want to manifest.
I recommend using citrus oils to help with mental acuity- Wild Orange, Tangerine or Citrus Bliss would be great choices. It would also be good to use some grounding and centering oils for staying balance such as Lavender Peace and Cedarwood.
You may choose to diffuse your oils to clear your mind and set you on the right path emotionally. You could also try adding some essential oils to a bath, or going DIY and making some bath bombs or bath fizzers. A soak in the tub can help to clear any blockages in your physical body that you need to clear in order to focus on the action steps needed to achieve your goals.
You could also try this Waxing Moon roller blend and roll it on the back of your neck, wrist and temples to help you to feel joy, calm and optimism about your future.
