Ever wonder where the moon is in the sky at any given phase?
This audio will take you through the rising and setting of each of the lunar phases through out the cycle. You may want to write or sketch as you listen or perhaps close your eyes and visualize.
I’ve seen many people have “lightbulb” moments after they listen to this transmission. May the moon continue to guide your journey through all the seasons of life!
You are invited to listen here:
INQUIRY: When do you usually see the moon in the sky?
How do you relate to the fluctuations of the changing phases of the moon cycle?
Which phases is most speaking to you in this season in your life?
Is there a barrier that keeps you from connecting with all the phases or living a more rhythmic life?
GOING DEEPER
The moon is often associated with the night, however that’s only half the story. Our lunar companion travels in the daytime sky as much as she does in the night.
For example:
At the new moon phase, the moon travels 100% in the daytime.
At the full moon phase, the moon travels 100% in the night.
This is an example of the inherent balance within the polarities that exist within the lunar cycle.
Such beautiful symmetry.

HOW IT ALL ADDS UP
Starting at sunrise on the new moon, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day. This occurs because the moon takes slightly longer than 24 hours to line up with the same point on the earth.
Pause … breath and get ready to enter into left brain logical analytical mode ... the simple math goes like this:
50 minutes rising later each day x 29.5 days in a lunar cycle = 24 hours
So after a full cycle of 29.5 days, the moon resets and rises again at sunrise.
Magic! A clockwork unto itself.
Connecting with the moon is a relationship that takes time. It takes living on the moons terms and learning from each phase of the cycle.
This practice helps us live in receptivity and more harmony with the cyclical nature of life.
