Lunar Energy and Mood Report
October 11-17, 2021
How is your week going so far? I’m a bit late with writing and sharing this week’s report. I have had a lot of things going on, and I have a number of irons in the fire which are all vying for my energy, time and attention. Such Waxing Moon energy!
Let me start by sharing a little story to show you how manifesting with the Moon works to bring your desires and wishes to life!
One of my New Moon intention for several Moons now, has been that I wanted to get fit and strong in my body (as I have been feeling less than average). Summer is coming and i want to be toned and strong and energised.
Shortly after the Virgo New Moon, I joined a membership and started doing at-home pilates/HIIT workouts a few days a week, which I have been really enjoying. I have been consistent and noticed my core strength improving in particular.
But I kind of felt there was more to my intention than just this. Then, an opportunity arose two weeks ago which would mean taking my fitness to the next level! I jumped at this chance, which would also give me a chance to further my personal development AND tick off another intention- get involved in my local community.
Last week, I started my Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC)! This requires a lot of theoretical learning as well as physical skills practice. I need to build my strength, endurance and stamina to be able to complete two components of the course assessment. I need to successfully complete a beach run, then beach swim and another beach run- in under 5 minutes!. I also need to do a board rescue, something that is completely new to me.
It’s fun, but exhausting, as I push my body through a training schedule of swimming, using boards in the ocean and also beach running (which is not my fave thing!). I’m excited to see how much better I get at doing everything over the next 6 weeks. My mantra for our first day of beach skills last weekend was, “I can do hard things”. I just kept saying that over and over to dig deep and get the grit and determination needed to get through when I wasn’t sure if I could.
When did you last do something that was hard, and pushed you outside your comfort zone? There is nothing worse than being stagnant and stuck right? By doing new things, it can help us to grow and expand and gain momentum. This is particularly useful to do when the Moon is waxing (as it is now) and we can harness the increased energy of the Moon to kick-start us along.
It’s amazing to me how all these pieces came together to bring my intention to life. It also shows that we can’t always know HOW our wishes will come true, but to keep remaining open to the possibilities and opportunities that arise. Keep taking inspired action and the rest will flow!
What I recommend for you, is to go take a look at your New Moon intentions from last week and choose one of them to take inspired action on this week and to throw all your thoughts and energy into it. I bet you can make it happen!
If you would like to learn more about how you can harness the energy of the Moon to manifest and bring your wishes to life, be sure to join us in the Moon Membership!
Now, let’s get started with this week’s report!
Lunar Energy and Mood Report for the Week October 11-17, 2021
This week starts with the Moon still in its Waxing Crescent. When the Moon is waxing, it appears to be getting bigger- the energy that accompanies this is expansive and there will be an increase in your energy.
You might find it useful to refine your plans so you can confidently move forward with them on Wednesday’s First Quarter Moon phase. The rest of the week will see us with the Waxing Gibbous Moon, building up to the Full Moon!
Moon Phase Energy
Think of this phase as the time you plant the seeds of your intentions. Whatever you set out to manifest on the New Moon, this week is the time to make action steps to bring those things into your life. Start taking inspired action, watering those seeds of inspiration and creativity.
What to do for the Waxing Gibbous phase
🌒 Feel into your New Moon intentions so you are comfortable with how them and if they are aligned
🌒 Map out your action steps for bringing your intentions into your life
🌒 Give yourself some mental space to really notice how you are feeling and what
you are thinking. This could be through doing a walking meditation or going into nature and
just being.
Waxing Gibbous Theme:
Initiate
Affirmation:
I feel into my intentions with strength and confidence
Reflection questions:
What are the first steps needed to bring my intentions to fruition?
What can I do to trust my intuition more? What can I let go of to make space for more
abundance?
On Wednesday October 13 is the First Quarter phase, which is when the Moon appears as a half Moon in the sky. The Moon only stays in the First (and Third Quarter) phase for one day. This means that for most of this week the Moon will be Waxing Gibbous.
The First Quarter on Monday might feel a little challenging. It’s a time when our doubts, fears, limiting beliefs and insecurities can start to bubble to the surface, especially when it comes to how we are feeling about our goals and intentions. If you haven’t yet made any strides in these, you might start to doubt yourself. Luckily, the energy of this phase gives us the momentum to keep moving forward, so take a positive approach and keep moving forward. Just be mindful about being over-ambitious.
What to do for the First Quarter phase
🌓 If you haven’t yet, now is the time to take inspired action. If you want to manifest love, then tell someone how much you love them; if you want to call in more money, then donate to a cause that inspires you, for example.
🌓 Take practical steps and be positive despite any challenges
🌓 Communicate any new thoughts and write down new ideas for your projects or work so that you stop and think about how achievable it might be
Third Quarter Theme: Action
Affirmation: I take bold and positive action to support my intentions
Reflection questions: What creative expression can clear obstacles that are coming up? What joyful actions can I take to make my intentions a reality? How can I improve my approach and step out of my comfort zone?
From Thursday until Sunday, the Moon will be in the Waxing Gibbous phase, continuing to grow in size until she is full. This is such a high-energy phase when we can pursue our intentions with gusto and focus, and to make any adjustments needed to keep things moving forward. Things might feel a bit intense emotionally as this feeling of expansion matches the growing Moon. You might find it helpful to make adjustments to things you are working on so you can maintain your focus.
What to do for the Waxing Gibbous phase
🌔 Be focused on following through on things and pay attention to the details
🌔 Assess and re-evaluate your progress as you build momentum. In your journal, note down how you are feeling about your intention.
🌔 Be clear with your boundaries and delegate if necessary, so that you don’t get overwhelmed by trying to do it all.
Waxing Gibbous Theme:
Impove
Affirmation:
I trust in adapting and refining my intentions so they are in alignment
Reflection questions:
What is working well right now? What adjustments do I need to make to keep momentum on my intentions? What doesn’t feel in alignment anymore?
