The best time for spells is during a certain moon phase. Full moons are well known to inspire feelings and emotions. Crescent moons are associated with youth and wisdom. New moons are seen as dark beginnings or ends. So what exactly does each phase do? I shall begin with the full moon in a clockwise cycle to the waning and the New Moon and then the waxing.

Full moon is the best to learn, gather reading materials, study, begin to read a book. It's when to do cleansing and clearing. Clean the spaces, rooms, declutter. Inner knowledge, clarity, insight and confirmation of all things that interest you. It's when to build relationships, begin ventures, romance, love rituals. Getting healing and resting, making way for fresh and full energy.
Waning gibbous, is the best to step away and withdraw from difficulties. Leave aside tough work for the moment and pause. The most interesting time to work on mistakes, by patching up broken places, whether it's material or emotional, and fixing problems, untying knots or undoing connections. Also cleansing rituals can happen. Removing dark entities, get rid of unpleasant rumours, break curses.
Last quarter, a special time to finish negative dramas, cease any harmful and unhealthy activities, give up bad habits. Step down from toxic circles or bad crowds. Remove a sour bitter idea. Break ties with unpleasant situations. Send away intrusive thoughts, curses and misery such as curses, bad habits, ill luck, misfortune and hopelessness.
Waning crescent is a phase to find calm, peace, balance and stillness, even look for a state of tranquillity. Spells for fortune, good luck and success. Learning deeper more esoteric wisdom, finding your own inner knowledge and locate the true meaning of your dreams. Making amends, soothing, apologising, forgiving and redeeming. Illnesses that begin here, and can be healed here.
New moon, a phase of the dark moon, is a strong time to undo wrongs.
Waxing crescent is a phase to start new adventures, create fresh beginnings, making new pacts, creativity and expression. It's when to meet others, meet new, build relationships. Attracting the energy, getting hope, pulling vibrant and loving situations, joining and sex magic. Creation of energy, wealth and happiness. Friendships and lovers.
First quarter phase is more vivid creatively, as it helps divination and psychic abilities. Willpower and determination can be earned and made. A time for being calm, at peace, meditation, visualisation and inspiration. Physical and emotional stamina, vigour, motivation and strength. Develop goal setting, make positive dreams come true, work on those pleasant ideas.
Waxing gibbous is when to feel the urge to start new things. The law of attraction, health and healing. Achieving ones dreams and being successful and yet helpful and kind. Spells and rituals for better health and healing.
