Welcome, Moon Child
Do you ever lookup at the night sky and feel a longing? That would be the moon whispering to your heart. She has always been our silent guide, reflecting not just light, but emotion, rhythm, and renewal. Her pull is telling us to look deep within and think about what we want.
Working with her energy isn’t about perfection or elaborate spells. It’s about remembering your natural rhythm — the gentle ebb and flow of your own healing journey. Because where healing blooms, so does love.
Let’s begin.
1: Understand the Moon’s Healing Energy
The Moon moves through eight phases every 29.5 days, and each phase mirrors a different stage of growth and release within us.
- New Moon — Rest + Intention 🌑
This is your emotional reset. Reflect on what you’re ready to call in — healing, peace, creativity, forgiveness. This is the time to set new goals and take from past achievements. - Waxing Moon — Action + Nurturing 🌒
Energy begins to rise. It’s time to nourish yourself with self-care and small steps toward your goals. This is the time to take action and start working the steps to achieving those goals. - Full Moon — Illumination + Release 🌕
The truth shines bright here. Reflect, journal, cry, dance — whatever helps you let go of what no longer serves you. Release that which no longer serves you. There’s no place for it anymore. - Waning Moon — Rest + Renewal 🌘
Pull back. Recharge. This is your moment to slow down, cleanse your energy, and prepare for a new cycle. Don’t be so focused on the negative that’s passed. Shower, do energy healing spells — whatever helps you renew yourself for a fresh start.
Learning to align your self-care with the Moon’s rhythm helps your mind and body naturally find balance again. When we are balanced, our life prospers in all aspects.
2: Set Your Intention
Healing begins with intention — not the kind you rush through, but the kind that comes from deep within.
Ask yourself:
“What do I truly want to feel more of in my life?”
Peace? Confidence? Forgiveness? Love?
Write your answer down. Let it be your anchor for this lunar cycle. Staying grounded and focused on your intentions will help you live by them.
3: Create a Simple Moon Ritual
You don’t need fancy tools or a perfect altar. All you need is presence. Here’s a beginner-friendly ritual to start your healing journey:
You’ll need:
- A candle (white for clarity, pink for self-love, or silver for lunar energy)
- A notebook or journal
- A quiet space
The Ritual:
- Light your candle and take three deep, grounding breaths.
- Say aloud: “I open my heart to the healing light. I am ready to grow, release, and renew this night. With lunar energy from above, send me your guidance with lots of love.”
- Write down your intention for this cycle and one gentle step you’ll take to nurture yourself.
- When you’re done, say “As I come to end this spell, I’ll come back to wish you well,” and blow out your candle.
That’s it. That’s the start.
4: Connect with Archangel Gabriel
Gabriel, the Archangel of clarity and communication, works beautifully with lunar energy.
If you feel called, ask Gabriel to guide your healing this week. Not only will he help to bring you divine messages, he will shield you from spiritual deception as well.
Close your eyes and whisper:
“Gabriel, help me see the truth in my heart,
Guide me toward peace and love to start. With healing energy born from love, Guide me with messages from above.”
Then listen.
Sometimes the guidance comes through thoughts, feelings, dreams, or sudden insights — gentle nudges of divine clarity. It’s almost like a whisper in your mind with a warm feeling energy.
5: Keep a Moon Journal
Healing with lunar energy is a cycle, not a single ritual. If you’re looking for a one and done, you won’t find it here.
Keep a Moon journal where you can track your moods, dreams, and emotions each week. You’ll start to notice patterns. How your energy changes with each phase, how your heart softens, how you begin to bloom again. All of this is a part of spiritual connection and healing. Keeping a moon journal will help you monitor your moods and behavior. But, it will also help you notice the change that occurs on your spiritual journey.
Final Thoughts
Your healing journey doesn’t have to be dramatic or perfect. It just has to be honest.
When you work with the Moon, you’re not just observing her light — you’re remembering your own.
Every cycle is a chance to heal, grow, and shine a little brighter.
So take a deep breath, step outside tonight, and look up.
The Moon sees you, holds you, and reminds you:
You are magic. You are healing. You are human.
