Welcome to another episode of the Wondrous Crane podcast! I wanted to talk about the moon today and what rituals I do for manifesting around the different moon cycles. And it’s definitely connected with astrology so if you haven’t listened to the episode where I talk about astrology you should go check it out, it's episode number 10. 

There are SO many moon rituals out there, you really can’t go wrong with any of them. I am just going to walk you guys through what I like to do every month and explain the reasoning behind it.

I mainly focus on the new moon and the full moon when I am manifesting so I am just going to go over those rituals that I do for both of those times every month.

The New Moon is all about setting intentions and focusing on what you would like to manifest for the coming month. I usually will write out 10 things that I would like to manifest and I always lead with gratitude when I am writing these out, so I'll write: "I am so grateful for all work outs I plan to do this month and how it makes my body feel strong and healthy. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

And then every new moon correlates with the current astrology sign, so  we have the New Moon in Aries coming up on March 21, 2023 and since Aries is the first sign of the zodiac they are all about being number 1, and are very wonderful leaders, very confident in their own abilities, and are kind of self obsessed which I love and want to emulate more of their energy.  And then I usually like to burn incense when I do this and cleanse my space so that I can let in and make room for all these new manifestations.

The Full Moon is all about relaxing and reflecting on the past month and taking care of yourself so you can be on that high gratitude vibration. The full moon has really powerful energy so I will gather all of my crystals and let them bask in the full moon light overnight, this cleanses their energy and supercharges them. It's a great time to do anything that will help you relax and release any built up emotions or feelings you've accumulated over the past month.

The full moon correlates with the direct opposite astrology sign as the new moon, so for this cycle with the new moon in Aries, the full moon will be in Libra because that’s exactly 6 signs apart from Aries. So because this full moon is in Libra, I will journal about all the balance currently in my life and what I would like to balance more of in the future. Libra’s are all about the scales and finding balance with everything. And then the full moon also has a name associated with nature so this Full moon coming up on April 5th, is the Pink Full Moon or the Paschal Full Moon which is the First Full Moon of Spring. 

I hope you guys enjoy today's episode and here are the book and app resources I mentioned in today's podcast.
