THE BEST CRYSTALS FOR MOON PHASES, Part 1

Posted by Christina Zipperlen on

Exploring crystals for the New Moon, First Quarter, Last Quarter, and Full Moon.

Manifest your intentions

Manifest your intentions and goals by infusing your crystals with power and potency during the phases of the moon.

Every 29.5 days the moon moves through eight distinct phases. Just as the moon casts its light and influence over the earth, stirring the ocean and controlling the tides, this celestial orbs holds great influence in our own lives. As the Moon waxes and wanes, energies shift. These powerful transformations present an invitation to align our own lives and energies for greater self-understanding on our own personal journeys. 

Incorporating specific crystals during each moon phase can help us tap into the energy of the moon and enhance our own inner work. 

Read on to fully understand the right crystals for four of the eight different phases of the moon.

USES FOR CRYSTALS BASED ON YOUR MOON PHASE

You may be familiar with the significance of the moon when it comes to clearing and recharging your crystals. The most popular belief is that the light from a full moon cleanses crystals of negative energy while strengthening their intrinsic properties.

However, what many do not know is that each moon phase matches specific stones in terms of focused intent. For instance, Moonstone is said to enhance the moon’s guidance spiritually and energetically, connecting your intention with the universe.

Labradorite is another moon-specific crystal. On certain moon phases, you can tap into its vibrations to enhance your own.

What is important to understand, though, is that some of the best crystals for you to use are those connected with the moon phase you were born in. For example, if the moon was in the waxing gibbous phase on your birth date, you will greatly benefit from citrine.

Owning crystals corresponding to your particular moon phase is a great way to move towards your goals and find your center, no matter what you are hoping to achieve.

CRYSTALS FOR THE NEW MOON PHASE

The New Moon marks the beginning of a new cycle of the moon. The world is filled with new possibilities and endless optimism on its exact date and time. This spell lasts for three days.

Take advantage of the opportunity to set aside all those plans and actions that did not work the last time and set off in a new direction! Cleanse and recharge the following crystals to clarify your mind and remove distractions:

    The First Quarter Moon represents growth and expansion. It is an opportune time to explore new ideas, promote external plans and accomplishments, focus on growth, and put in the work to get the desired results.

    As the moon cycle comes to a close, the Last Quarter phase begins a time of reflection. It encourages you to review, refine, and redefine your goals as well as the methods you applied in pursuing and achieving them.

    Looking inward and exercising self-care are the orders of the Last Quarter. Doing so will enlighten your mind and give you clarity about your purpose in life. You will then be able to consolidate and align your goals accordingly.

    To protect your intentions and clarify your thoughts, use:

    During this period, the moon is at the height of its power and brightness, boosting energy in bodies of water, across crop fields, and within the human spirit.

    The Full Moon is the best time to practice manifestation, review intentions, and deeply focus on the goals you wish to bring to fruition. This phase is meant to heighten intuition and creativity.

    The following crystals can contribute to meeting these objectives:

  • Moonstone, Citrine, Malachite - your guides in your journey
