Waxing First Quarter: Momentum, Courage and Universal Support

Waxing First Quarter: Momentum, Courage and Universal Support

The first quarter moon begins around seven days after the new moon and lasts for about four days. From this point, it’s roughly a week until the full moon, and you can often feel the energy lifting, strengthening and gathering pace. The moon is growing, and with it, your own momentum begins to rise.

As the moon continues to grow bigger in the sky, she brings energy, ideas, inspiration and everything you need to bring your hopes and dreams and ambitions to fruition; it’s like the energy of the entire universe is on your side.

This is the time of the month you need to say yes to every invite you receive, notice every nudge from the universe and follow the synchronicities and signposts that will seem to appear daily. There’s a sense of expansion here, of things wanting to move forward with you.

You may find the voice of doubt, the not-good-enough and the imposter syndrome begin to creep in around this phase of the lunar journey.

Simply take note of any inner doubts and fears at this time. These thoughts often appear right before a breakthrough, so see them as feedback rather than truth - a gentle reminder of where you are growing.

Under the waxing first quarter:
• Be open to everything coming your way.
• Recommit to your vision and dreams and use them as a reference point.
• Watch out for the voice of doubt and/or imposter syndrome.

Let this phase be one of courage, openness and saying yes to aligned opportunities. Trust the rising energy and trust yourself.
