Working with the moon
The moon moves through eight phases roughly every 29.5 days, from a dark new moon to a bright full moon and back again. Many people use its rhythm as a gentle prompt: new moons to set intentions and begin, full moons to reflect, give thanks and release. As it circles the Earth, the moon also passes through a zodiac sign about every two and a half days, adding a shade of mood to each day.
Start with today's moon to see tonight's phase, discover the moon you were born under, or plan ahead with the 2026 moon calendar. Each one suggests a crystal, so the moon's rhythm and your crystal practice work together.
