This mysterious orb in the sky inspires wonder in each culture, time period, and region across the Earth]( [moon-reality-canvas-set]( [Though many of us think of the moon only at night, and even then only when it’s visible to us, it has a major effect on the way we live our lives each day. It controls the water and the tides, and because of this connection, it’s said to represent our emotions and our subconscious minds. What we see on the surface often does not reveal the depths of what’s happening beneath. ]( [And of course, like everything in nature, the moon changes. It changes position, changes phase, and changes light quality over time. In this way, it reminds us that everything on Earth —humans included—undergo change, and that is natural and beautiful. ]( [ Like all of nature, the moon continually passes through cycles of growth and decline. The phases of the moon are often seen as guides to our own personal growth and development.]( [ Many consider the new moon, when the moon is fully dark with no illumination from the sun, it is symbolic of a quiet time - a new beginning. It is the silence before the storm, the preparation for diving into that new adventure or new chapter of your life. ]( [ The full moon is often considered to represent completion, the height of power. In our lives, it is the realization of your desires and the peak of clarity.]( [The waning moon, when the moon is again partially illuminated but that part gets smaller each day, represents a time of reflection, purging and decluttering. Many take advantage of this phase by reevaluating their goals and progress. It’s a time to let go of people and things that no longer serve you. These can be relationships, negative thoughts, poor habits, or projects you are no longer interested in. This period of purging allows you to start again with a clear mind to pursue fresh projects or goals during the new moon. ]( [The waning moon, when the moon is again partially illuminated but that part gets smaller each day, represents a time of reflection, purging and decluttering.
