As our population becomes more and more urbanized, we've begun to lose touch with the natural cycles that have guided our life for hundreds of thousands of years. While we live with an annular calendar that clocks the movement of the Sun, our Earth year comprises 13 moons, not 12. Many peoples the world over depend on these cycles for their survival and their livelihood. More often than not, women feel the moon cycles as Grandmother Moon waxes and wanes, driving the flow of menstrual blood in their bodies. Farmers look to the Moon for signs indicating the best times to plant their seeds, reap their crops and so on.

I've provided this information of the Moon cycle, in order to assist those wishing to realign with the 13 moons and the co-creation cycle. The best teaching I've found on this subject comes from one of my teachers, Lone Eagle, and I offer his words to assist those who may have an interest in knowing more and wish to use this wheel in designing their own life.

Moon Co-Creation Movements

Steps of Vibrational Movement

Why the Moon?

In today's culture, the Sun plays the central role as giver of life to our planet. Father Sun makes love to Mother Earth and provides the energy for life. Without the Moon, life on this planet could not exist. The Moon's gravitational pull fosters the development of life on Mother Earth. This dance of co-creation - Sun, Earth and Moon - is the substance of "To All My Relations"; humans, plants, animals and Mother Earth herself are here because of the influence of the Moon.

The Moon's influence on water, emotions and feminine cycles has long been known and acknowledged. Shamans access the Goddess aspects of the Moon for rituals, magic, prayer and healing the sick. The Métis (mixed bloods) recognize this Goddess deity as Grandmother and the Moon herself as our Grandmother Lodge.

In tribal times, the "Moon Time" (women's menstrual cycle) was honored for its sexual power and purifying purposes. This honoring has been set aside in most of today's culture. Without this natural phenomenon, our abilities to evolve would be nonexistent, for this moon influence movement prepares the wombs of Earth for birthing. As in the macro-cosmos, so in the micro-cosmos - Earth's wombs; women's wombs; men's spirit wombs. Grandmother Spirits watch over us and assist through the Moon's gravitational effects on the Earth. They are our allies and link us to Great Spirit. Earth species are a unit of movement; Grandmothers assist the unity while honoring the individual cells. Each movement of evolution requires a level of mastery over energy functions and purposes. The Métis people experiencing Renewal Trails honor this movement. "Everything is born of the feminine and sparked by the masculine".

This is the way it is. AH HO! We are all related!

What is co-creation?

Co-creation is the timing of a purpose or intent that co-exists with the timing of the Moon and Great Spirit. From our physical reality inside and out, our relationship to the Moon and its influence on the movement of water is a creative power. This co-creation births in natural timing and gives us the choreography of all that is.

Cycles

For an easy reference, let's use a 24-hour day to understand a daily movement.

Seed Moon

3:00 am - When the thoughts are focused, the collection of these thoughts is the Seed. If we want to plant this Seed, we move to the next step. Already in defining the Seed, we have the metaphysical energy before the physical. In our physical natural world, the Seed is an energy source for animals, plants, minerals and humans, either to be planted and grown for more energy or to be consumed as it is. In the metaphysical world, repetitive thought forms make up the Seed; thus begins a movement through a creative process. A Seed needs the elements of fire, water, earth, air and the life force of one of the four worlds of Mother Earth (plant, mineral, animal, human) to birth into the physical dimension.

Union Moon

5:00 am - The next vibration is union of the Seed (thoughts) to the womb and Union. This movement in human reproduction is when the Seed (male) unites womb (female) with the codes (DNA) from both vibrations, allowing the creation of a third stage that is greater than the previous ones. When creating a project, first you have an inspiring thought. Second is the movement of gathering information, ingredients or assistance. When this movement nears completion, the sum of this Seed + Union creates Egg!

Egg Moon

7:00 am - The next vibration is a form with a shape that is the container for energy. When creating a project, ceremony, celebration or a movement of errands for the day, the Egg is the container. By having a container, one can experience personal strengths and limitations, or what we call individuality.

Sprout Moon

9:00 am - This is the vibration where a timeline stretches the shape of the Egg, expanding and penetrating to create the "feeding tube" that is required to meet the needs of the Egg. Where human projects are concerned, the Sprout stage is when all the personnel adopt the concepts and philosophies, and a matrix is formed. Another is when you set a form in place, like a piece of furniture, and then accept all the uses of that form in that place. Our human aura has similar functions.

Root Moon

11:00 am - This stage is the establishment of feelers or sensors that touch, taste, smell, hear and see the nutrients (ingredients). The human movement establishes the ability to sense key information, then interpret and send response signals. These roots are the foundation of drawing physical energy from its surroundings and understanding existence.

Stem (Trunk) Moon

1:00 pm - As each vibrational stage (Seed, Union, Egg, Sprout, Root) keeps expanding, water's flow brings a flexible strength. As the "so below" is established the stretch to the "as above" happens. This trunk is a pliable strength that allows humans to rotate, twist and maintain balance. Another human aspect in this phase establishes the space and distance a person's presence exists within.

Budding Moon

3:00 pm - As the Trunk stretches, the budding of branches (timelines of teachings) begins. These Buds are new types of sensors that begin setting themselves apart in their relationship to the four worlds. A plant will stretch vertically and horizontally to gather input. A human's growth is similar depending on one's measure of self worth. This unfolding allows more information (light) to exchange with other worlds. This is the phase of multiple attentions and perceptions.

Flower Moon

5:00 pm - The Flower (aura) is the container that contains the teachings, life's blueprints, destinies and purposes. The Flower is an expression of individual existence. The Flower exists within a cycle of time and space that carries a specific vibration or signature. As humans, we determine a name for this signature. This stage also develops the container for the next birthing. The Flower is an expression of the desire to rebirth. The rebirthing sets up the container of teachings (DNA codes).

Fruit Moon

7:00 pm - The Fruit is one's Book of Life that contains the teachings of all growth cycles. These teachings (data) include air quality, temperatures, length of growing season, erosion, earth shifts, ecology and the needs and strengths of the four worlds in that geological area. In the human world, the Fruit (lessons) with closed symbols (needs) and open symbols (strengths) have undergone a growth cycle of scrutiny. Therefore, a human determines either acceptance or rejection of the lesson. These Fruits or symbols carry a sensory code such as smell, sight, taste, sound or touch. When a Fruit is ripe, it means that all codes are in place for the next movement.

Return Moon

9:00 pm - This movement is where the Fruits (lessons) are available to the four worlds. Animals, plants, minerals and humans are all benefactors. Humans and animals pick Fruit (lessons) that are to be consumed. Plants and minerals wait for further movements to consume or convert the Fruit into a usable form of energy. The measure of wisdom is contained within the Fruit. Therefore, when consumed by another form, a sharing of the lesson happens. The Moon of Return is a movement of time that asks us to reflect upon the growing cycle, or to find clarity of what was learned.

Compost Moon

11:00 pm - This is the Moon movement of digesting the lessons of our own or those that have been shared. It's a breaking away from the information of each teaching, composting these lessons into our life. Composting is the weaving of teachings of the past cycle with previous teachings; the changing of a previous matrix or blueprint to a new one with more clarity towards fulfillment. As humans, this movement on a daily cycle happens in the dreamtime. For those with discipline and ethics, Composting happens more in the movement. This Moon cycle is easier to understand over a year cycle. However, the speed of light is faster than 186,000 miles per second. Creation happens!

Silence Moon

1:00 am - When the codes (teachings/lessons) have been digested, the Silence movement begins. This integration and resting movement is a subtle one. With a walk into the woods or prairie, you'll find a stillness present, ride in a sailboat and you'll discover the same. The stars sing the songs of purpose to all forms that are Silent enough to hear.

Back To Top 

Renewal Moon

3:00 am - The Renewal movements are an awakening from the sleeping Silence. The Sun burns brighter, bringing the sacred fires; waters flow, airs are rich and the great sleep drifts away. Animals are hungry! Humans are peaceful and recharged. Building is a Renewal clarity of evolution, inspiration and purpose for the new cycle. This is a time of the gathering of forces. The grooming of intent! To understand the Renewal stage, on a daily cycle, on Lunar time, we would have to disassemble the measure of time as we know it. However, for the purposes of showing the Moon's effect on the growth of all living beings, Renewal is the time of awakening from the sleeping dream to the waking dream (daily life).
