The Waxing Gibbous Moon

The Waxing Gibbous Moon phase is the last push to the Full Moon, to the peak of the cycle.

The Moon is now getting even bigger in the sky each night as it makes it’s way to full, you might notice the days surrounding a Full Moon it’s really hard to tell the difference between the Gibbous Moon and the Full Moon.

This last week of the waxing phase of the moon’s monthly cycle is all about trust. Trusting you intuition and trusting the Universe.

You’ve set your intentions at the New Moon, visualised them and felt them as if they’ve already happened and you now have an action or to do list that guides you through this next phase.

Your ritual for this week is to simply say yes to the things that are in alignment with your dreams and desires. You might notice that opportunities begin to arise, conversations take place or offers start to come in. This is not a time to second guess or procrastinate, this is the time to say YES!
