These Eight Phases are often simplified into 4 :

Waxing

The phase from dark to full. This is the phase to work magick for growth/drawing or enhancement. It is a great time for fresh starts, "new beginnings" spells, building, and financial prosperity magick. Developing psychism, and increasing physical health and well-being can also be done at this time.

Full


The magick performed during the Moon's full phase has added energy and is most intense. Any magical effort, especially difficult ones, can benefit greatly from the potency of this phase. Use the full Moon to amplify magical intent and to give spellworking additional power.

Waning


The waning phase is the time when the moon is moving from full to dark. Suitable magick to perform at this time includes elimination, seperation, and decreasing. It is good time to change bad eating habits, or removing yourself from harmful / stressful relationships.

Dark


The dark phase of the Moon is often used for rest and relaxation. It is a good time for meditation, psychic power enhancement, divination, and past life regression. Dark Moon energy also lends itself to where truth is an issue.
