🌕 The Lunar Trinity: Exploring the Power of Three Through the Moon Phases

Updated: Aug 8

There’s something sacred about the number three—something that transcends culture, belief, and even time. We find it in the architecture of the soul, in the rhythm of breath, in the sacred stories passed down through generations.


The lunar trinity lives in the moon itself—our ancient mirror in the sky, always guiding us through intention, illumination, and release.


In lunar and spiritual practices, the moon becomes more than a glowing sphere. She becomes a teacher, a timeline, and a trusted guide.


But what if this celestial rhythm—so often divided into four phases—can still be felt through the sacred lens of three?

🔹 The Traditional Lunar Trio


The traditional trio of the moon is New Moon / Full Moon / Waning Moon.


A cycle of transformation:🌑 Seed → 🌕 Illumination → 🌘 Release


This trinity captures the arc of intention, manifestation, and surrender.


But where does that leave the Waxing Moon—the days of action, stretch, and growth?


She doesn’t disappear.

She becomes the bridge between dreaming and doing.


🌙 Why the Waxing Moon Matters


The Waxing Moon is the sacred stretch between the soul’s whisper and the soul’s bloom.


She has her own trinity:

  • The momentum behind your intention

  • The growth that happens in the quiet

  • The action that moves you toward your vision


Waxing is the embodiment phase—where what you dreamed of in the dark begins to take form.

The Waxing Moon is the breath between wish and reality. She asks: Will you show up for your own becoming?

🔮 Reframing the Lunar Trinity (and Honoring the Waxing Phase)


You don’t have to exclude her to honor the power of three.


Here are three reimagined lunar trios—each honoring the Waxing Moon’s energy with purpose and grace:


CreateA trinity of becoming: dream it, do it, see it.

🌀 The Creation Cycle

  • New Moon – Intention

  • Waxing Moon – Activation

  • Full Moon – Illumination


HealA trinity of transformation: face it, let it go, begin again.

🌀 The Healing Cycle

  • Full Moon – Awareness

  • Waning Moon – Release

  • New Moon – Integration

FlowA trinity of feminine archetypes: maiden, mother, crone.

🌀 The Feminine Flow

  • New Moon – The Seed (Inner knowing)

  • Full Moon – The Bloom (Expression)

  • Dark Moon – The Rest (Surrender / Wisdom)


✨ Where Does the Waxing Moon Belong?


You could say she is the gut between head and heart.

The embodied self between mind and soul.

The sacred movement that alchemizes stillness into light.


She may not always appear in the final trinity, but nothing manifests without her.

🌕 Final Reflection


The power of three lives in more than just symmetry—it lives in intention, movement, and integration. The moon shows us this in every cycle.


So next time you light a candle on the New Moon, don’t just wish.

On the days that follow, ask:

Am I walking with what I asked for?


The Waxing Moon is your sacred invitation to act.

Let her guide you—not with urgency, but with devotion.
