Waxing Crescent Moon: Taking Your First Steps Forward

Waxing Crescent Moon: Taking Your First Steps Forward

The waxing crescent moon begins around three days after the new moon and lasts for roughly four days. This is the moment when the very first sliver of moonlight appears in the sky again, signalling the shift from stillness into movement. It’s subtle, but it’s powerful: the moon is beginning to grow, and so are the intentions you set at the new moon.

This is when we see the first sliver of the moon in the sky – the time for action. Just as the moon is beginning to grow and take shape, so are your new-moon intentions. There’s a delicate energy here, a sense of beginnings taking root. Nothing needs to be rushed, but things do want to move.

Take care of yourself and your energy at this growing phase of the month; you’re only at the very beginning. Find balance in the being and doing. It’s easy to leap ahead or push too hard, but the waxing crescent reminds you that early growth needs gentleness. Your dreams are seedlings right now; nurture them, don’t squeeze them.

Start to take those first steps towards making your new-moon visions a reality. Stay strong, believe in yourself and seek help and support in getting your dream off the ground if you need it. Small, intentional action is the magic of this phase. Every step counts.

Under the waxing crescent moon:
• Make a clear plan of how you will bring your new-moon visions to life.
• Keep repeating your intentions and affirmations.
• Spend time daily with your vision board or visualising in meditation.

This is your moment to build momentum, one gentle action at a time.
