Phase Guide
New Moon
The slate is wiped clean. Set intentions, plant seeds, begin new projects. Illumination: 0%
Scientific note: The Moon sits between Earth and Sun; its lit side faces away from us.
Waxing Crescent
Momentum builds. Take first steps toward your intentions. Energy is gathering.
Scientific note: A thin sliver appears in the western evening sky, one to seven days after new.
First Quarter
Decision point. Push through resistance. Action is required now.
Scientific note: Exactly half the disc is lit; the Moon is a quarter of the way through its cycle.
Waxing Gibbous
Refine and adjust. You are close. Patience and persistence.
Scientific note: More than half lit and still filling out toward full.
Full Moon
Peak energy. Emotions run high. Release what no longer serves you. Illumination: 100%
Scientific note: Earth lies between Sun and Moon; the entire near side is lit.
Waning Gibbous
Share your wisdom. Give back. Gratitude and reflection.
Scientific note: The lit area begins shrinking from the opposite edge.
Last Quarter
Let go. Forgive. Release habits and patterns that hold you back.
Scientific note: Half lit again, opposite the first quarter; it rises around midnight.
Waning Crescent
Rest and restore. Surrender. Prepare for the new cycle ahead.
Scientific note: A final thin curve in the eastern pre-dawn sky before new moon.
Supermoon
A full moon at perigee, up to 14% larger and 30% brighter. Emotions and energy amplified.
Scientific note: Occurs when a full moon coincides with perigee, about 356,500 km away.
Eclipse
A rare cosmic alignment. Solar eclipses bring sudden change. Lunar eclipses bring emotional revelation.
Scientific note: Happens only when Sun, Earth and Moon align near the lunar nodes.
Void of Course
The moon between signs. Avoid major decisions. Rest, reflect, do routine tasks only.
Scientific note: An astrological term: the Moon makes no major aspect before changing sign.
Daily Ritual Prompts
Personalised journaling and intention-setting for every phase of the lunar cycle.
