The Waxing Crescent: Nurturing Your Intentions - Phase 2

Just as a seed begins to stir beneath the soil after planting, the Waxing Crescent phase invites us to tend to the intentions we set during the New Moon. This is a time of gentle action, hope, and building momentum. While the New Moon is about dreaming and planting seeds, the Waxing Crescent is about nurturing those dreams with care, belief, and the first inspired steps.

In business, this is the phase to start mapping out aligned action, momentum-building, confidence-gathering, and beginning to bring your vision into form. Think of this time as tending a new garden... watering, watching, and giving it the energy it needs to grow.

The Waxing Crescent in Business

This phase is about clarity, commitment, and forward motion. The energy is subtle but growing. It asks us to stay devoted to what we’ve declared, even when we don’t yet see results. It’s about trust, discipline, and staying open to the whispers of intuition.

This is an excellent time to:

• Revisit the intentions you set during the New Moon

• Break them down into small, inspired steps

• Choose one or two things to focus on this week that support your larger vision

• Build your belief in what you’re creating

Aligning Your Business with Waxing Crescent Energy

🌱 Take Aligned Action: Start small and be consistent. What’s one thing you can do this week to bring your New Moon intention closer to reality?

💡 Strengthen Your Why: Remind yourself why this goal matters. The more connected you are to your purpose, the easier it is to stay motivated.

🕯 Protect Your Energy: Not everything deserves your attention right now. Guard your time and focus like the sacred resource it is.

🌀 Trust the Process: Growth isn’t always visible. Keep showing up and tending to your dream, even if the results aren’t immediate.

Ritual Ideas for the Waxing Crescent

• Create a Weekly Action List: Choose 2–3 simple, supportive tasks that move your intention forward.

• Light a Candle Daily: Use the same candle each day to symbolize your commitment and keep your intention alive.

• Visualize Growth: Each morning, take a few moments to visualize your business vision blooming... What does it look like, feel like, sound like?

🌒 You’ve planted the seed, now it's time to nurture it.
