Every month we have two moons that we often practice our craft around— A New Moon + a Full Moon.
If you scrolled through the Astrology hashtag on TikTok you will find something significant happening at any given time. You will find someone saying this is the most powerful moon or astrological event happening to date.
So how important is each Moon? And should you really go above and beyond for the moon every 2 weeks?
There are big events such as Eclipses, Super Moons, and Blue Moons to name a few. These are events where the energy might feel off or more potent for the majority of the collective. But we also have what I would say are regular New Moons and Full Moons that would be more personal for each person.
See every moon phase is an opportunity to create and release. An opportunity to step into your highest self + connect with Luna and her potent energy.
Now the moons that are not rare or eclipsing as mentioned above are personal to each person.
Here is how it works
The moons will cycle through all 12 zodiac signs. One for creating and one for releasing. They happen in a cycle of 6 months. Example: A new moon Aries felt in Spring will close out those lessons with a Full Moon in Aries in the Fall.
Now using the example of Aries moons if you are let’s say a Gemini rising that means Aries falls into your 11th House of community + long-term hopes and dreams.
Maybe under the New Moon Aries in Spring, you cast a spell to have a community that supports your goals in Health. Through the 6 months depending on where you are in your healing journey, you might find yourself very triggered or streaming along just fine. Under the Full Moon Aries, in the Fall you can celebrate the accomplishments of the spell or maybe release anything that has held you back so far. Release any themes of triggers that have been playing a role in your ability to have the community, etc.
Taking it even a step further on how personal it can be, other Gemini Risings might find that they are having a completely different journey than you are. This is because you have different planets, aspects, and journeys than everyone else.
So should each moon be used for magic?
Well, I would say that’s a personal decision. There are some moons I feel very excited for or ready to release and there are some that I feel peaceful on. (Unless it’s an eclipse, I would not do anything but observe)
Taking the time to get to know yourself, and your own energy will help you to not run around or experience Astro FOMO when it comes to your creation process. Learning to trust yourself and your Human Design Authority will help you as well.
Yes, every moon can be powerful and every moon can have a big lesson, yet it’s not something to stress yourself out with. Don’t force yourself to feel something when it’s not there. On the times that you feel at peace or do not want to manifest anything in that particular cycle, you can take the time to practice gratitude instead.
Your connection to Luna is intimate and precious. It should not be forceful or filled with FOMO.
