Charting the Moon…
The Moon is the fastest-moving body in astrology — it changes zodiac sign roughly every 2½ days and cycles through eight phases every 29.5 days, setting the emotional rhythm of the month.
| Phase | What it's good for |
|---|---|
| 🌑 New Moon | Fresh starts, intentions and planting seeds |
| 🌒 Waxing Crescent | Taking first steps and building momentum |
| 🌓 First Quarter | Pushing through obstacles; taking action |
| 🌔 Waxing Gibbous | Refining, adjusting and staying the course |
| 🌕 Full Moon | Culmination, clarity and release; emotions peak |
| 🌖 Waning Gibbous | Gratitude, sharing and giving back |
| 🌗 Last Quarter | Letting go, forgiving and clearing space |
| 🌘 Waning Crescent | Rest, reflection and surrender before the next cycle |
A void-of-course Moon — after its last aspect before changing sign — is traditionally a pause: avoid starting anything new.
The synodic month — from one new moon to the next — lasts about 29.5 days, cycling through eight phases: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter and waning crescent.
