What to do in each moon phase
A quick guide to pairing your rituals with the rhythm of the moon.
Not every moon works the same way, each one has its own rhythm and purpose. You don't need thirty years of astronomy studies to know what to do: you just need to know what each one asks of you, and with that you're already way ahead!
๐ New moon: planting
Ideal for planting your intentions. Think of it as putting down a little seed to attract what you want; the way to water it is to write it down during this time and keep it until the full moon.
๐ Waxing moon: pushing forward
A perfect phase for those little pushes to get going and take action instead of sitting around thinking about what you should do; if you get cracking on something and start right now (work, self-love, money, etc.), it's the ideal time to watch it grow little by little!
๐ Full moon: culminating and charging
The best time to give thanks for what you have, to cast love spells and spells for more clarity, and to charge your tools (whether that's your decks, your crystals or whatever you use). I also recommend collecting moon water for future rituals or spells!
๐ Waning moon: letting go
What we all need and none of us like: the ideal time to give yourself a good energetic scrub and get rid of all the built-up grime, cut out at the root whatever isn't working for you anymore and close the book on cycles or stages.
I made a really pretty calendar on my website so you don't miss the exact dates of each phase, any eclipses and this year's festivals, with recommended rituals for each particular moment. And in my Grimoire, you'll find DIY spells I made myself, where I tell you which phase suits them best!
Add a little magic to your life, but at the right time.
