Preface~
I’ve postponed the Moonifesting section for long enough…
For those who are currently on their Journey, working their way through the Rave Mandala, this series will be an accompaniment. In our Journey, we are following the Sun as it transits through all 64 gates (gene keys) of the rave mandala. Moonifesting will coincide with this Journey as it follows the lunar cycles through each of the 12 zodiacal constellations.
The Moonifesting Series is one that has been in the mental-works since around 2020 - I have procrastinated on it long enough. Honestly, I just did not want to take on the workload of such frequent postings and I appreciate your grace and understanding if daily life creates delays or missed postings. I do intend to do my best to keep this section up to date. 💛
How Lunar Cycles Are Born From the Sun/Moon Relationship
Moonifesting begins with a simple but often overlooked truth: the lunar cycle exists because of the Sun.
The Moon does not generate its own light. What we experience as lunar phases is the result of the Moon’s changing relationship to the Sun as both bodies move through space. Every New Moon, Full Moon, and Dark Moon is created by geometry, alignment, and timing between these two luminaries.
Moonifesting is the practice of working consciously with that relationship; tracking how the Moon’s monthly journey through the zodiac mirrors, responds to, and interacts with the Sun’s longer evolutionary transit.
The “Marriage” of the Sun and the Moon
The Sun and the Moon’s relationship, or union, is considered alchemical.
It is a physical representation of the merging of the conscious mind (Sun) and the unconscious mind (Moon).
This merger of the conscious and unconscious within ourselves allows us to manifest faster and more effectively.
The Solar Foundation: The Sun Sets the Theme
The Sun is the constant.
As it moves steadily through the zodiac and the Rave Mandala, the Sun activates one gate at a time, establishing the dominant energetic lesson for that period. Over the course of a year, the Sun illuminates all 64 gates, unfolding a complete cycle of collective and personal evolution.
This solar movement provides the backbone of time:
It defines the overarching theme we are collectively learning
It shapes conscious awareness and direction
It determines what kind of growth is available
In Moonifesting terms, the Sun answers the question:
“What is the lesson being illuminated right now?”
The Lunar Response: How We Experience the Lesson
While the Sun sets the theme, the Moon shows us how that theme is processed internally. It represents our internal and emotional connection to the theme.
Each month, the Moon cycles through all 12 zodiacal constellations, repeatedly forming angles to the Sun. These angles - conjunction, opposition, waxing and waning aspects - create the lunar phases.
This means:
Every lunar phase is a conversation with the Sun
The Moon reflects solar light differently depending on its position
Emotional, instinctual, and subconscious responses shift as alignment changes
Where the Sun expresses conscious direction, the Moon reveals readiness, resistance, and integration.
Why Lunar Phases Matter in Growth & Manifestation
Because lunar phases are created by Sun/Moon interaction, they describe stages of the relationship between intention and experience:
New Moon: alignment with solar intent; potential is seeded, setting intentions
Waxing Moon: effort, adjustment, and learning how to hold the light, working the plans
Full Moon: direct opposition; illumination, realization, or tension, completion & fruition
Waning Moon: release, digestion, and resolution,
Dark Moon: withdrawal of light; ideal for deep introspection, shadow-work & cleansing before beginning a new phase or intention
Moonifesting does not treat these phases as symbolic only; they are mechanical and energetic realities that govern timing.
The Zodiac Sign: The Lens of Expression
As the Moon moves through the zodiac, each sign becomes the lens through which the current solar lesson is emotionally experienced.
The same Sun transit can feel very different depending on whether the Moon is passing through fire, earth, air, or water. This is why:
Manifestation feels easier on some days and resistant on others
Emotional clarity rises and falls predictably
Certain themes repeat monthly or cyclically until they are integrated
The Moon does not change the solar lesson; it changes how we feel and respond to it.
The Rave Mandala and the 64 Gates: A Yearly Cycle, Lived Monthly
As the Sun progresses through the Rave Mandala, each gate is revisited multiple times by the Moon.
This creates a layered rhythm:
The Sun introduces and sustains the lesson
The Moon emotionally rehearses it and responds to it
Each pass refines awareness, response, and embodiment
Rather than a straight path, manifestation unfolds as a spiral of repetition with deepening insight. Moonifesting works with this spiral instead of resisting it.
What Moonifesting Actually Teaches
Moonifesting is not about forcing outcomes at every New Moon.
It is about learning:
When to initiate
When to build
When to confront truth
When to release
When to rest in the dark
By tracking lunar cycles in direct relationship to solar transits, Moonifesting restores natural timing to manifestation. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is skipped. Each phase exists because the Sun and Moon are doing exactly what they are meant to do. Moonifesting teaches us to do the same.
Just like with our Journey through the Rave Mandala, in Moonifesting, you can simply pick up with where we currently are. It doesn't matter what has already come to pass - it only matters where you want to end up. So, jump right in...you are exactly where you are meant to be!
