Waxing Moon Rituals: Momentum, Magic & Your Rising Power

The waxing moon phase is a time for personal empowerment and intentional action, transitioning from stillness to growth. Key rituals include a confidence spell using a mirror and candle, along with journaling prompts to track progress and resistance. Affirmations and consistent actions foster alignment with lunar energy until the full moon.

The waxing moon is your personal hype phase. It starts just after the new moon and builds toward the full moon—carrying you from stillness into action. This is the time for intentional movement, manifesting steps (not just thoughts), and unapologetic glow-ups.

If the new moon is the seed, the waxing moon is the root pushing through the soil. Let’s rise.


🔮 Empowerment Spell: “I Call Back My Confidence”

What You’ll Need:

  • A mirror (any size)
  • A gold or yellow candle
  • A pen and small piece of paper

The Ritual:

  1. Light your candle and face yourself in the mirror.
  2. Say aloud: “I call back my confidence from all places I gave it away. It is mine. It returns.”
  3. Write down one area where you’ll step up this week.
  4. Fold the paper toward you and place it under the candle.
  5. Snuff (not blow) the candle. Revisit your note daily until the full moon.

Optional: Add your Moon Sanity Tracker to keep your actions aligned with lunar growth.


✍️ Growth Journaling Prompts

Use these prompts during the waxing phase to track progress and keep momentum:

  • What am I building right now (emotionally, physically, energetically)?
  • Where do I feel the most resistance to success—and what would happen if I pushed through it?
  • What would the boldest version of me do this week?

Bonus: Add these into your Strawberry Moon Journal to connect goal-setting with seasonal moon energy.


🪞 Mirror Affirmation Mini-Ritual

Stand in front of your mirror and say these aloud:

  • “I am rising with the moon.”
  • “My energy builds steadily and beautifully.”
  • “My intentions matter. I matter.”
  • “Growth is not optional. It’s who I am.”

Repeat daily until the full moon. Bonus if you play your Playlist for Rebirth while you do it.


💫 Keep Building

The waxing moon doesn’t require perfection—just movement. These rituals are your alignment tools. Use them as spiritual scaffolding while you rise.
