Since the beginning of time, the Moon has shown us that there is more out there! By simply looking up, we can see that there is more to our imagination. The Moon, as we see it from Earth, waxes and wanes, making it a beautiful marker of the passing of time. The Moon is the great mystic in the sky!
In astrology, the Moon represents our feminine psyche, emotions, and body. No wonder the menstrual cycle is synced with the Moon — it even affects the fluids on this planet. Just look at the tides of the ocean!
When we follow the Moon’s cycle, we connect more deeply to the feminine archetype. Our intuition becomes stronger, we gain better awareness of what’s happening in our mind, body, and emotional life, and we can take better care of ourselves.
When the Moon is full, we have more energy — sometimes even too much, as we often sleep less under a Full Moon. The Full Moon amplifies whatever emotions we’re currently experiencing, making it a powerful time to recognize and release unnecessary burdens. When things are amplified, we become more aware of what’s going on in our lives. Awareness is the key to healing and letting go. Simply acknowledging and accepting what you’re going through is often enough to release attachment to drama.
When the Moon disappears from the sky — during the Dark Moon — our energy tends to be lower. It’s the perfect time to rest and reflect on the passing Moon cycle. Practice stillness and listening. Imagine that the dark of the night grants you wisdom directly from the stars! How cool is that? 🙂
Then, as the Moon begins her new cycle and becomes visible again, the New Moon brings us a sense of freshness each month. Just as we often feel renewed after our menstrual cycle, it’s a wonderful time to set intentions for the new phase. Make a wish and give it to the Moon!
Working with the Moon through journaling is a great practice. Writing makes your intentions more tangible and helps you become more aware of what’s happening in your life.
I have a Moon journaling practice I like to do almost daily. Following the Moon’s cycle and the astrological sign it’s in each day helps me tap into the energy of the moment. Even just being aware of it is helpful — I don’t journal about it every day; it depends on what I’m going through. You can find my journal here.
