The Cycles of the Moon

The Moon's cycle is one of the most visible and impactful rhythms in astrology. As it moves through its phases each month, the Moon reflects changing emotional tides, instinctual responses, and patterns of growth, culmination, and release. Its quick movement across the zodiac means it touches every sign and forms aspects with all the planets in a relatively short span, making it a powerful trigger for daily experience.

The lunar cycle begins with the New Moon, a time of inward reflection and new intentions. As the Moon waxes toward the Full Moon, energy builds, emotions become more visible, and themes come to light. The Full Moon marks a point of culmination and heightened awareness. In the waning phase that follows, the focus turns inward again, supporting letting go, integration, and rest before the cycle begins anew.

Tracking the cycles of the Moon can offer insight into the natural ebb and flow of energy and emotion. It brings awareness to when it's time to act and when it's time to reflect, and helps align daily life with the deeper rhythms of the psyche and the sky.
