Modern Moon Stories
One night when the moon was out he was watching everybody. I was having my birthday. I looked out the window and the moon was bright, but it was the waning crescent. I was happy because I smiled at the moon and it smiled back! I had to go back to my party and I waved at the moon and the moon waved back.

Thoughts about what the moon looked like when I was born. - I think it was waning because the moon gave me his health which reduced his size. The moon was skinny because it is actually God's smile.

One time there was a Moon and a Sun. They were good friends until the Sun got too close to the Moon and burned the Moon. The Moon got so mad that one day he ripped a piece of the Sun and put it on himself. Then they had a fight and they both exploded. That is why a piece of the Moon became stars and made night. The Sun's punishment is going down every day.

How to Use the Moon's Eight Phases to Live Your Best Life
When it comes to astrology, the sun gets a lot of love, but the moon has more control over our lives than we often realize. Every 29.5 days, the moon completes a full cycle. Each phase, from new moon to Full Moon, represents a different point in the moon’s orbit around the earth.Whether we’re aware of all those waxing and waning crescents or not, the moon’s monthly journey affects our personalities, our outlooks, and our lives. By becoming aware of the moon’s four main phases and four intermediate stages, we can awaken a new understanding of ourselves and its power.
New Moon (also called the Dark Moon)
What is it? The New Moon is the first lunar phase of the moon—and the easiest to miss. During this phase, the moon comes between the sun and earth and appears to disappear. That’s because the moon’s shadow side faces the earth, rendering the moon invisible.
How do I harness its energy? The New Moon is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Each New Moon, you might want to take the time to set a few personal intentions about what you want to manifest and bring to reality during the upcoming month-long cycle. A few examples? Making more money, starting a new relationship (or improving an old one), or bringing a gust of energy into work matters. Now’s the time to visualize what we want to achieve, whether in the pages of a diary or a vision board. Or, jot down findings in your lunar journal.
Waxing Crescent Moon
What is it? The Waxing Crescent Moon occurs right after the New Moon. During this phase, the moon appears as a sliver of a crescent.
How do I harness its energy? Now that we’ve decided on what we want to manifest and add to our lives under the New Moon, it’s time to work toward those intentions. The Waxing Crescent Moon offers a boost of hope and positivity as we embark on our goals for the cycle. Embrace the dreams you imagined for yourself. During the Waxing Crescent Moon, meditate on your desires.
First Quarter Moon
What is it? During the First Quarter Moon, the half of the moon lights up. In the Northern Hemisphere, the right half is bright, whereas the left half remains dark.How do I harness its energy? With the First Quarter Moon, we’re able to take action in implementing our New Moon intentions. Translation? Now’s the time to make decisions. Use the phase’s momentum to overcome any resistance we may face along the way. We can add and change things that need tweaking with our New Moon intentions. The universe is allowing us to make edits according to our lifestyles and needs.
