New and full moon cycles are times of going within, to develop solitude and harmony with our emotional natures. Full Moons are notorious for expression of the unconscious, personally and collectively. Consciously communing with our feelings during these lunar times fosters the creation of new patterns in our lives and helps us release and let go of whatever needs to go.

"The Earth's climate is regulated by the moon's tides and so are we. Women's menstrual cycles flow in a similar pattern. When we are in conscious rhythm with our inner and outer climates, our mental and emotional bodies, our inner thermostat (our triple heater or boundaries) we are in union with ourselves, and this alleviates symptoms of menstrual stress." For more information check out Dr. Christiane Northrup's work.
New Moons shed fresh light onto the planet and into our lives, bringing new growth cycles and opportunities with them. New moons are good time for planting new seeds, literally and figuratively.
If we are ready to call forth new opportunities, new pathways, or new patterns into our lives, then three days before and after a new moon is a profound time to write down intentions, desires, and commitments to ourselves and the universe. Spend time ritualizing your dreams. Read them out loud or silently to Spirit as a prayer, light a candle, or plant something in the soil and watch your intentions bloom into fruition.

Then by the Full moon whatever you have aligned with, whatever you have planted in the mind of the universe comes to bear or it falls away. Full Moons bring the shadow to its fullest expression. Whatever we have been repressing, disowning, or hiding from is illuminated in full light. Therefore, it is important to be very sincere and clear about our "heart prayers" in the new moon phase, especially if they include asking for the removal of old patterns, obstacles, etc.
Of course, when we are consciously in-tune with universal consciousness, we create, manifest and or release patterns at any time. It's all up to us.
