Hello to all curious astrology lovers! Today we’re diving into a calendar that won’t get memed on September 3rd. If you’ve been wanting to understand the Moon’s moods, now’s the perfect time (yes, the Moon really is in the right house).
A lunar calendar is a timekeeping system based on the Moon’s movement around Earth. Many people believe the Moon affects plants, human behavior, and even our emotions. And me? I’m totally convinced. No scientific proof needed — if the Moon didn’t care about our lives, astrologers would’ve gone out of business by now.
#Learning to “Live by the Moon”
The Moon’s position in the sky influences different aspects of our lives, and each lunar phase has its own impact on how we feel. Sure, most people talk about the waxing and waning Moon — and that’s technically correct. But it makes way more sense to break the Moon down into four main phases:
First Quarter – Time for active inner work. This is your moment to brainstorm, plan, and dream up ideas.
Second Quarter – The action phase. Let’s move from thinking to doing (no one wants to just sit and daydream all month, right?).
Third Quarter – Things slow down. If you've already started a project, keep going — but now’s not the time to begin something new.
Fourth Quarter – Your work is showing results; the puzzle is coming together. Take a breather and use this time for reflection and planning the next cycle.
#Don’t Forget the Two Key Moments:
New Moon – The Moon disappears and gets ready for growth. It’s resting, and you should too. Block out a couple of chill days for yourself — you’ve earned it.
Full Moon – The Moon is at its brightest and fully opposite the Sun. That energy clash can mess with emotions. Don’t stress if you get a little dramatic — the Moon’s got your back.
