Moon Timings
For Successful Prayer, Spells & Manifestation
I’m a moon lover, how about you?
There’s just something about her that draws me in. I can literally get lost for 15 minutes just staring at her up in the night sky, especially when she’s full!
Did you know that here’s a name for us “Moon Lovers” – a person who is fond of the moon is called a Selenophile.
The energy of the moon changes depending on the phase she is in. I’m sure you’re aware that the tides go in and out because of the moon’s pull, and statistics have consistently shown that on the full moon … hospitals and police departments have their hands full more than usual.
So, working with the moon’s energy can really super-charge your manifestations; hopes, dreams, desires, spells, and prayers. I’ve highlighted how you can work with the various moon timings, enabling you to harness her powerful energy, and help you create a most magical and empowered goddess life!
New Moon – New Beginnings & Initiation
The new moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle, when the moon is completely in line with the sun and the earth. What we see from earth is a dark sky with no visible moon! For centuries the new moon has symbolized re-birth, initiation and beginnings.
New moon is a great time for “seed magic” – metaphorically speaking , it’s planting a seed (your desire) in the ground to grow. New moon a great time to begin a new project, start a new adventure, start a new job or start trying to conceive a baby.
Keywords for new moon are intention and beginnings.
New Moon Spell Ideas: New beginnings of any kind, fertility, self-improvement, and personal empowerment.
Waxing Moon – Growth & Potential
This is the time when the moon is growing larger towards full moon. Its a great time for manifestation (the desire you asked for at new moon) and attraction. Think building; gaining money, developing love, or receiving love, etc.
Waxing Moon Spell Ideas: Attraction spells that gain and/or grow things like love, money, your hair, etc.
Full Moon – GO For It!
Full moon consists of three day window, the day before and the day after the actual full moon. Sometimes the moon comes into full in the middle of the night or day, so it can be difficult to pray or cast at that time… so, having a three day energetic window makes life a lot easier!
I’ve been taught that the full moon is when she is the most powerful … so you should “GO FOR YOUR DESIRES!”
Full Moon Spell Ideas: Any and all attraction, gain, grow, and increase things, divination, dreams, love, etc. Positivity is essential!
Waning Moon – Take It Away…
Waning moon is when the moon is reducing in size … this is a great time to release, reduce, or repel. What do you want to get rid of? A bad habit, an addiction, an illness (tumor, hemorrhoids, etc), a negative person, negative thoughts, STRESS … perhaps you want to release some extra weight. Waning moon is the time to ask for it!
Waning Moon Spells Ideas: Spells that banish, cleanse, release, reverse. This is the perfect time to get rid of things.
Dark Moon – Lay Low & Take A Break
Dark Moon consists of the three days preceding New Moon. This is the time of the month when the goddess is thought to have descended to the underworld… she is in mourning and therefore her energy is at it’s weakest. This is a great time to work on challenges, shadow work, binding, or banishing. It’s also a time for inner reflection, meditation, and forgiveness.
Resource: I just downloaded a great (free) APP to my iPhone that tells me the EXACT phase of the moon and other info like horoscope, etc. It’s called “Time Passages” and you can purchase it in your app store.

Wow Lisa this blog post hit home. I have always felt drawn to the moon and its various cycles but know very little about why that is for me. thank you for this enlightening article that guides all of us to harness this amazing energy for intention and manifestation. Thank you for your goddess energy that you unleash beautifully into the world and for all those who receive. Hugs and blessings Debra

I LOVE your work. And the moon! Such an easy read overview of the power it holds. Awesome.
Thank you lovely Carina. I appreciate YOU!
Hey Goddess, I agree that working with the moon’s energy can super-charge our hopes, dreams and desires. Thanks for sharing this excellent post to work with the energy of the moon. XX – Shann
I know you work some Moon Magick over at Transformation Goddess too! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment Goddess!
Lov it! I just downloaded the time passages app. That will be so much easier than googling the info when I need it!
I’m so glad this article and app suggestion served you Sheila!
This is fantastic – bookmarking this page for reference. I have been spending some time with the moon over the summer and having some campfires by myself to connect with my intuition.
With Gratitude,
Tracy
Taking time to reflect and connect with the Divine is a wonderful sacred practice Tracy. Thank you for leaving me a comment, it makes my soul smile to know that my work served you!
Thank for this article Lisa! I love the simplicity of it. I haven’t seen it explained quite this way before. It will be so easy to remember now.
I am so happy my article served you Tiffany! Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
I loved learning more about “moon timing,” Lisa. Thanks so much for sharing! I was especially excited to see in your newsletter this week that It’s officially Virgo Season.
In response to your prompting I’ve been asking myself what needs to be completed or organized in order to increase your productivity in my personal and professional life. I will be asking lots of questions and “sitting in silence” to receive the answers.
I’m also super excited about attending your Spreecast this Thursday! xxoo
Hi Loveliness! You are most welcome. The Virgo archetype begs us to think introspectively about our life and our doings… I’m so glad that you’ll be joining us this Thursday night for the September New Moon Circle where we will be discussing the magick of September!http://www.spreecast.com/events/september-new-moon-women-s-circle
Please i need more information on how to become a SELENOPHILE
Becoming a selenophile is an exciting journey! First, you need to get to know the moon and its awe-inspiring beauty. Start by researching and learning about the moon’s various phases, its history, and its many mysteries. You can find out about the moon’s impact on our planet’s tides and cycles and observe its movements in the night sky. Then, venture outside and observe the moon and its changing phases with your own eyes. Take pictures or videos of the moon and its beautiful light. Last but not least, share your experiences and appreciation of the moon with others!
oh, Lisa Marie… rhis post is so full of magick and such a wondrous energy. I too have a very special relationship with Luna… and it was she who introduced me to my spirit wolf. I wrote this post about how deeply connected to the moon i feel. http://letmemoveyou.me/the-gift-of-being-present#.U_4uFjJdVsk
I am grateful for your beautiful light.
How beautiful Shelly! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Sending you Bright Blessings Sister <3
I always feel the pull of the moon. My energy is up, I feel alert and vital. The recent Super Moon (I am Leo) was and continues to pour in powerful energy. The inner and outer shifts are beautiful to witness. Thank you for sharing your love of La Luna.
Happy belated birthday lovely and you are most welcome! I look forward to seeing what you manifest from all the fire energy!
You know I love all the powerful moon lessons! I’ve grown quite close to our lovely lady in the night sky. I’ve found a truly powerful connection to her energy and light. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
You are most welcome my lovely Sister – thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Hello Lisa 🙂 Can you believe I have actually had people say to me : ” Oh, I don’t believe in all this moon stuff.” That to me is like saying : ” oh, i don’t believe in rain.” 😉 Hehehehe!
But to each their own, right!?
I am very happy to see that we as women are remembering to connect back with our magic, power, and ancient wisdom. I try to honor the moon cycles and rhythms within me. And I love using moon power to underline my conscious manifestation and co-creation. And I am learning more and more every day. Thank you Goddess, from my heart to yours.
Beautiful Nadia – To each his own indeed. The Goddess and La Luna calls to those who are meant to keep the magick alive. I appreciate you Sister!
Lisa Marie, how lovely to find you! I’m a Moon woman myself. I just was interviewed for Wendy Reese’s podcast on Astrology for Business, and more — http://bit.ly/WholeBeingPodcast
So grateful our paths have crossed (found you on Linda Joy’s FB group).
Love and light,
Sue
Hello dear sister. It is a pleasure to meet you! Welcome to my world, I look forward to getting to know you more…
Hi,I had a feeling I should check the subject up. Behold ,i jump into this article. I am educated though a beginner. I will read more and follow you. This is great.
Thank you!
I really love the moon & I always though of myself as a witch. I also love cats but my cat Andy ran away from me & I’m hoping to get a new cat soon. I am also a big fan of Harry Potter
Thank you for visiting and commenting Sarah!
I love this so much. I really love the moon and just like you there is something about it that draws me in. I always have to look up and stare at her so beautiful. Im not into spells or prayers because I don’t know how to do it. But I would love to start. Where can I learn spells or prayers upon the moon phases? I would really like to try it. Thank you.
The Moon holds a special kind of magic indeed Shonna! Take a look at my Sisterhood offering: https://www.goddesslifestyleplan.com/sisterhood/ I teach all about spells, prayers and other magical practices!
its so beautiful here woooooooww the moon has also called me wuuuuuuuuh..love it.
ENJOY her light!
Love this. Came across, as I am seeking full moon wish to improve communication. Great work
Thanks for the enlightenment. I’ve been looking forward to an article like this
Hi Lisa , I stumbled upon your site and glad I did. It has a very pleasant vibe to it. You mentioned Time Passages app for your iPhone. Can you recommend a similar app for an Android? Another quest: many sites recommend candle rituals for New Moon, asking for assistance in reaching personal goals. But sites differ on recommendations when exactly to conduct these rituals? Some say do it immediately after the New Moon starts, others say wait 24 hours to conduct the ritual. But the devil is in details. What is your take on this issue? One last quest about Full Moon. It is the beginning of the waning cycle which is designed for getting rid of unwanted things in our lives. As you say – release, reduce and repel.However you recommend (and many other sites also) to use Full Moon similar to New Moon – for attraction and gain. Would be great if you could clarify that. And thank you Lisa for your beautiful site!
New Moon is energetically about new beginnings and setting intentions and Full Moon is the “go for it” energy – so both moon phases will work for attraction and gain. I hope this answered your question Alex.
Thanx,hopefully this will help.
Thanx,hopefully this will help. I really need something at this point.
