The first sliver of light of the waxing New Moon is appropriate for beginnings and initiation, a time to start new projects or move in a new direction; the Full Moon, for fulfillment and gains, a time to push the desired result into culmination or manifestation by envisioning the goal as attained; the waning New Moon, for decreasing, restricting, containing, binding, banishing, and ending, a time for releasing what is unwanted, reducing difficulties, and removing obstacles; and the Dark Moon, for quiet, a time for cleansings, magical studies, divinations, journey or shadow work, meditations, communion with spirits and the entities of other worlds, and nature magic. If the need is urgent and you do not want to wait for the most auspicious lunar phase, it is always possible to work around the existing phase by altering the focus of the spell. For example, during the waning phase, a spell for finding a job can be envisioned and worked to remove unemployment, while during a waxing phase, a spell for ending a creative block can be visualized as opening creativity.
