The 2026 Chinese New Year, celebrated alongside the Lunar New Year, falls on February 17th. Marking the end of winter and the official gallop into the spring season, Chinese New Year celebrates looking to the future for new beginnings with themes of happiness, health, family, and good fortune. This year marks the arrival of the Fire Horse, a legendary and intense combination that appears only once every 60 years.
While last year was about the slow, strategic slither of the Snake, the Year of the Horse is about freedom, raw power, and the heat of passion. It signifies a time of rapid movement, social expansion, and the courage to live out loud. It embodies a vibrant, untamed, and sometimes volatile energy capable of charging through obstacles and lighting a fire under our biggest dreams. Come with me and race through this blog post to learn how to welcome the Lunar New Year and harness the thundering energy that it holds.
First, what is the Chinese New Year?
Of all the traditional Chinese festivals, the New Year is the most elaborate and important. This is a time to congratulate ourselves on having passed through another year, a time to finish out the old, and to welcome in the new. It is also known as the Spring Festival due to its timing with the changing of the seasons, and the Lunar New Year because it starts on the new moon.
When is the Chinese New Year celebrated?
The Chinese New Year is celebrated on the first day of the First Moon of the lunar calendar. In 2026, it falls on February 17th. Traditionally, the holiday lasts sixteen days, culminating in the Lantern Festival on March 4th. This is a time for family reunions, visiting relatives, and stressing the importance of family ties. The celebrations include beautiful outfits, delicious food, and colorful decorations intended to encourage hope and prosperity.
History & The Myth of Nian
The history of Chinese New Year dates back over 3,500 years. The most popular myth involves Nian, a beast that would appear every year to eat villagers. One year, an old man used red paper lanterns, red clothing, and loud fireworks to scare the beast away. To this day, the color red and the setting of firecrackers are essential for protecting the home and welcoming good luck.
Common Traditions for the New Year
Sweeping of the Grounds: Deep clean your home before New Year’s Day to sweep away the “dust” of the old year. Put your brooms away on the actual day so you don’t accidentally sweep away your new luck!
Lai-See (Red Envelopes): Children and elders exchange red envelopes containing “lucky money.” Remember: only clean, unwrinkled bills should be used, and avoid the number four (which sounds like the word for death). Numbers with eight are highly auspicious!
Lion & Dragon Dances: These acrobatic performances ward off evil spirits and bring prosperity to the community. The Dragon, specifically, chases a “Pearl of Wisdom,” representing a quest for truth and knowledge.
Lucky Chinese New Year Foods
Fish: The word for fish sounds like “surplus,” inviting abundance.
Dumplings: Shaped like ancient currency (ingots) to attract wealth.
Longevity Noodles: Do not cut them! Long, unbroken noodles represent a long, healthy life.
Tangerines & Oranges: Their golden color and name (sounding like “luck”) correlate to wealth.
Nian Gao (Year Cake): Symbolizes progress and “rising” higher in the coming year.
The Year of the Fire Horse
The Horse, being the seventh animal in the zodiac, takes center stage in 2026. Horses are everything you need to be this year: independent, energetic, and completely unbridled. They don’t hide in the grass; they run across the open plains. The Horse is a symbol of triumph, nobility, and the “main character” energy we all need to manifest our goals.
How the Element Fire Affects the Horse In Chinese astrology, each animal is paired with an element. 2026 is a Fire year. Because the Horse is naturally a “fire” sign, this year is a Double Fire year! This creates a massive “Yang” energy that is bright, aggressive, and fast-moving. The last Fire Horse year was 1966—a year of social revolution and upheaval. Expect 2026 to be a year where the status quo is challenged and personal freedom becomes the priority.
The Grey Witch and Duality Since I am a grey witch, I look for the duality. The Fire Horse provides the warmth of a hearth but also the danger of a wildfire.
The Light: Rapid manifestation, sudden success, and the courage to leave a “cage” (like a bad job or relationship).
The Shadow: Impulsivity and a short fuse. The Horse has a powerful kick, and Fire has a lethal burn. Use your power wisely. This is a year where the veil is glowing; protection magic is needed to ensure your passion doesn’t turn into burnout.

Movement Rituals: Dancing, running, or even driving to new places can help move stagnant energy.
Update Your Altar: Use red and gold candles, horse imagery, and sunstones.
Practice Gratitude: Give thanks for the stamina you’ve gained over the last year.
The Unbridled Path: A Fire Horse Road Opening Ritual
In the Year of the Fire Horse, we don’t just open doors—we break them down. If you feel stuck, stagnant, or like you’ve been running in place, use this ritual to harness the “Double Fire” energy of 2026 to clear your path.
Best Time to Perform: The morning of the Lunar New Year (February 17th) or during the first New Moon in the Year of the Horse.
What You’ll Need:
A Red Candle (for the Fire element and good fortune)
A piece of paper and a black pen
Cinnamon or Ginger powder (to “heat up” the manifestation)
A small bowl of water
A key (one you no longer use, or a charm)
The Ritual:
Clear the Way: Start by physically cleaning your front doorway. Sweep the threshold outward to remove any lingering “Snake” energy from the previous year.
Draft the Map: On your paper, write down the one major thing standing in your way. Be specific. Underneath it, draw a simple symbol of a horse or a horseshoe facing upward.
Ignite the Flame: Light your red candle. Hold your hands over the flame (at a safe distance) and feel the heat. Visualize the Fire Horse thundering toward your obstacle, hooves striking the ground, turning that barrier into dust.
The Cinnabar Kick: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or ginger onto the paper and say:“Fast as flame and strong as steel, turn the spoke and turn the wheel. No more waiting, no more stalls, the Fire Horse breaks through the walls.”
Charge the Key: Pass your key through the candle smoke and then dip it quickly into the water to “temper” the energy. Hold the key and imagine it glowing with orange light.
The Release: Take the paper and safely burn it in the candle flame (use a fire-safe bowl). As the smoke rises, imagine your path clearing for miles ahead.
The Anchor: Carry the key with you in your pocket or bag for the first 16 days of the New Year (until the Lantern Festival) to remind yourself that the way is open and you are free to run.
Final Thoughts on the Energy of 2026
2026 isn’t here to ask for your permission. The Snake taught us how to shed our skin in the dark; now, the Fire Horse demands we show the world who we are in the light. You are a powerful, sovereign entity, and sovereign beings don’t stay in the stable—they run.
This is the year to be “too much,” to be “too loud,” and to be unapologetically fast. Shed the last of that old skin and gallop into your power. If someone threatens your freedom or your way of life, do not be afraid to show your teeth and let them feel the strength of your kick. The path ahead is bright and fiery—ride it with grace and never look back.

The first New Moon of the year arrives on Sunday, January 18, 2026, in the steadfast and ambitious sign of Capricorn. While the recent Wolf Moon had us looking inward at our emotional foundations, this New Moon shifts our gaze toward the horizon of our greatest ambitions. As the first lunar seeding point of 2026, this is the moment we stop dreaming about the future and start building the scaffolding to reach it.
This lunation activates the energy of the cardinal earth sign, Capricorn, bringing a grounding focus to themes of integrity, discipline, legacy, and long-term mastery. New Moons are a time of initiation and quiet planting; this one asks us to identify the “Mountain” we intend to climb this year and to commit to the steady, patient work required to reach the summit.
Let this Capricorn New Moon guide you to become the architect of your own destiny, honoring the wisdom of time and the power of a disciplined spirit as you lay the first stones of your 2026 legacy.
New Moon: The Silent Seed and the Void
Every month, the New Moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle, a time when the moon sits in darkness, invisible to the eye. This phase represents the void, the fertile soil, and the moment of pure potential. It is a sacred time for inward reflection and intention-setting, where the seeds we plant in the darkness of our spirit will eventually bloom under the light of the following full moon.
The New Moon is a call to begin again. It is the breath before the word, the stillness before the movement. Because this is the first New Moon of the calendar year, it carries the unique weight of “The Great Beginning.” It is the energetic launchpad for your entire 2026 timeline, urging you to get serious about your intentions and to ensure they are built on a foundation of truth rather than fleeting desire.
Capricorn: The Sign of the Mountain and the Mastery
Each new moon takes on the characteristics of the zodiac sign it inhabits. Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is ruled by Saturn, the planet of time, karma, and structure. Symbolized by the Sea-Goat—a creature with the tail of a fish to navigate deep emotional waters and the hooves of a goat to scale the highest peaks—Capricorn embodies the duality of spiritual depth and material mastery.
As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn is the initiator of tangible results. It doesn’t just want to talk about goals; it wants to see the blueprint, the budget, and the schedule. This sign governs the Tenth House of career, public reputation, and legacy, urging us to take responsibility for our lives and to act with the authority of someone who knows their worth and their purpose.
The Capricorn Constellation
In Greek mythology, Capricorn is linked to the god Pan, who is often depicted as partially goat-like. Pan is said to have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat. In one story, Pan dived into a river to escape the monster Typhon, but only transformed part of himself, becoming half goat and half fish. Zeus was amused by this and placed the image among the stars as the constellation Capricornus. The constellation is also sometimes associated with Amalthea, the goat that nursed Zeus after his mother saved him from his father, Cronos. Amalthea’s broken horn was transformed into the cornucopia, or “horn of plenty”.
Capricorn the mythical Seagoat
Capricorns are symbolized by the sea goat, a mythological creature with the body of a goat and tail of a fish. We often think of Capricorns as high achievers or business-oriented workhorses. This speaks to the goat aspect of their sea-goat symbol. Goats are scrappy, and some of them are capable of climbing to great heights. The fishtail portion of the sea-goat, on the other hand, holds the ocean and the vast, almost spiritual world that lies beneath it. This imagery speaks to Capricorn’s ability to navigate both the material and emotional realms. It’s the job of the Capricorn to strike a balance between these two realms of earthly achievements and spiritual truth.
The First New Moon of 2026: The Master Builder
The January New Moon is often called the “Initiator’s Moon.” Coming directly after the emotional release of the Wolf Moon, it serves as the cosmic “Monday morning” of the year. This name reminds us that true magic requires structure. While inspiration gets us started, it is the Capricornian qualities of persistence and discipline that actually bring our visions into physical reality.
The significance of this being the first New Moon of the year cannot be overstated. It acts as a Master Blueprint for the months to come. This is the moment to look at your New Year’s resolutions and strip away the ones that were made out of guilt or social pressure. Capricorn demands Integrity—only plant what you are actually willing to water, weed, and wait for. This is the moon for those ready to play the “Long Game” and build a life that lasts.
Themes of the Capricorn New Moon
This lunation brings the essential themes of discipline, authority, and legacy to the forefront, urging us to take command of our path with the maturity of a true master. Under this dark moon, we are invited to stop waiting for permission and to start acting as the primary authority in our own lives.
Radical Responsibility: This moon demands that we stop looking outward for excuses and start looking inward for solutions. Radical responsibility is the act of fully owning your current circumstances—even the ones that feel unfair—and realizing that you possess the sovereign power to change them through disciplined, consistent action. It is about shifting from a passive participant to the conscious creator of your reality, acknowledging that every choice you make today is a brick in the wall of your tomorrow.
Long-Term Strategy: Capricorn energy is the antithesis of the “quick fix.” This New Moon encourages us to lift our eyes from the immediate distractions of the day and shift our focus from “instant gratification” to “sustainable success.” It asks the piercing question: What will matter to you five years from now? By planning with a decade in mind rather than just a week, you align yourself with the slow, unstoppable power of the mountain, ensuring that the seeds you plant now have the root system necessary to weather any storm.
Boundaries as Power: In the realm of the Sea-Goat, a boundary is not a wall to keep people out, but a container to keep your magic in. This lunation teaches us to use the word “no” as a sacred tool of preservation, protecting our time, focus, and energy for the specific tasks that serve our ultimate summit. By setting firm limits on what (and who) gets access to your spirit, you create the quiet, concentrated environment required for true greatness to grow.
Integrity and Mastery: This is a call to move beyond “good enough” and strive for genuine excellence. Mastery is the result of honing your craft when no one is watching and ensuring that your external actions align perfectly with your internal values. This New Moon asks you to check the foundation of your intentions: are you building something that reflects your soul’s truth, or just something that looks good from the outside? True Capricorn mastery is found when your public reputation is a mirror of your private integrity.
What to Be Cautious Of
While Capricorn energy is incredibly productive, its shadow side can lead to coldness, perfectionism, or a “work-at-all-costs” mentality. Be wary of falling into the trap of Self-Criticism, where you judge your progress so harshly that you lose the joy in the journey. There is also a risk of Rigidity, where you become so focused on your “plan” that you stop listening to your intuition or the needs of your body. Lastly, beware of Status Obsession; ensuring your goals are born from your soul’s purpose rather than a desire to impress others or satisfy a “should.”

How to Connect to the Capricorn New Moon
Connecting with this moon requires a blend of practical planning and ritual grounding. You might begin with a Blueprint Ritual, where you write out your primary goal for 2026 and list the “stones” (milestones) required to build it. Follow this with a Rooting Meditation, standing barefoot on the earth or sitting on the floor to visualize your energy sinking deep into the bedrock of the world. To honor the theme of legacy, engage in Ancestral Wisdom work, asking your hardworking ancestors for their endurance and grit. Finally, perform a Boundary Blessing, using salt to create a perimeter around your workspace or home, reclaiming your time as a sacred resource for your mastery.

Shadow Work Questions
Use these prompts to journey into the darker, hidden corners of your ambition. Capricorn’s light is often sober and honest; use this moon to peel back the layers of your “public mask” and see what is truly driving your climb.
The Fear of the Summit: Where am I intentionally playing “small” or self-sabotaging because I am actually afraid of the weight of responsibility that comes with true success? Sometimes, we stay at the base of the mountain not because we lack the skill to climb, but because we aren’t sure we want to be the person who has to maintain the peak. Reflect on whether your “failures” are actually subconscious attempts to stay safe and hidden.
Decaying Structures: What “old structures,” outdated beliefs, or repetitive habits in my daily life am I still clinging to that actually block my ascent? We often try to build new lives on top of old, crumbling foundations. Identify the specific routines, relationships, or mental loops that have become too heavy to carry upward. What must be demolished so that a stronger scaffolding can be built?
The Wrong Mountain: Am I exhausting myself climbing a mountain that actually belongs to me, or am I trying to reach a summit that someone else—a parent, a partner, or society—chose for me? It is a tragedy to reach the top only to realize you don’t like the view. Dig deep into your motivations: Is your “ambition” fueled by your soul’s calling, or a desperate need for external validation and “status”?
The Chronos Connection: How can I cultivate a relationship with “Time” (ruled by Saturn/Chronos) that feels like a sacred partnership rather than a frantic race or a heavy burden? Many of us view time as an enemy to be beaten. Reflect on how you can shift into “deep time”—the understanding that things take exactly as long as they need to. Where are you rushing, and what would happen if you trusted the timing of your own evolution?
The Definition of Mastery: What does “Mastery” truly look like in my life, and what is the very first, smallest, most practical step I can take toward it today? Mastery is not a destination; it is a devotion to the process. Strip away the grand fantasies and look at the raw data of your life. What is one tiny, disciplined action you can commit to daily that will move the needle toward your legacy?
The Master Builder’s Prayer: An Invocation for Integrity
Beneath the first New Moon of 2026, I stand on the bedrock of my own potential.
I call upon the energy of the Architect and the wisdom of the Earth to guide my hand as I draft the blueprint for my year. I release the need for instant results and embrace the beauty of the long, steady climb. I honor the lessons of the past and the time it takes for greatness to take root.
I claim my authority. I claim my discipline. I claim my right to build a life that stands the test of time. May my boundaries be firm, my integrity be unshakable, and my spirit be as resilient as the mountain. I plant my intentions in this fertile darkness, knowing that with every patient step, I am already arriving.
And so it is.
Blueprint for Success Ritual
This ritual is designed to help you transition from the “dreaming” phase of the New Year into the “building” phase. It uses the element of Earth to solidify your intentions into the physical world.
Timing: Best performed on the night of January 18th, or within 48 hours of the New Moon. Tools Needed:
A piece of high-quality paper or cardstock.
A black pen (representing Saturn/Authority).
A small stone, rock, or crystal (Onyx, Obsidian, or even a pebble from your yard).
A single candle (Green for growth, Brown for grounding, or Black for protection).
Step 1: Clearing the Workspace
Before you begin, physically clear your desk or altar. Capricorn cannot build in chaos. Wipe down the surface with salted water or cedar smoke. Set your tools down intentionally. Light your candle and say:
“I clear the path for my highest work. I prepare the ground for my lasting legacy.”
Step 2: Drafting the Mountain (The Blueprint)
Sit in silence for a moment and visualize the “Mountain” of your 2026 goals. Don’t think about what you want; think about what you are willing to work for.
The Peak: On the top third of your paper, draw a large, bold triangle. At the very tip of this mountain, write your Primary Aim for the year in one clear sentence (e.g., “I am a successful, published author” or “I am financially sovereign and debt-free”).
The Foundation: Along the bottom edge of the triangle, write three Core Values. These are the “bedrock” that will keep you from falling when things get difficult. (Examples: Consistency, Integrity, Resilience).
Step 3: Laying the Stones (Practical Action)
Inside the belly of the mountain, draw three rectangular “Foundation Stones.” In each stone, write a practical, non-negotiable habit you will commit to during this lunar cycle.
Note: These shouldn’t be “results,” but “actions.” Instead of “lose weight,” write “walk for 20 minutes daily.” Instead of “make money,” write “spend one hour daily on my business plan.”
Step 4: The Stone Activation
Take your physical stone/crystal and hold it tightly in your dominant hand. Close your eyes and breathe into your Root Chakra (the base of your spine).
Visualize your goal at the peak of the mountain.
Feel the effort, the sweat, and the eventual triumph of the climb.
Transfer that energy—the grit and the determination—into the stone. Imagine the stone becoming incredibly heavy with the weight of your commitment.
Step 5: The Master Builder’s Invocation
While still holding the stone over your paper, recite the invocation with a firm, authoritative voice:
“I stand on the bedrock of my own potential. I am the Architect and the Builder. I release the fleeting and embrace the enduring. I honor the time it takes for greatness to take root. My boundaries are firm, my integrity is unshakable, and my spirit is as resilient as the mountain. As I lay this first stone, my ascent begins. And so it is.”
Step 6: Setting the Foundation
Place your paper on your altar or a safe shelf. Set the physical stone directly on top of the “Peak” you wrote. This “weights” your intention down into the physical realm.
Step 7: Closing and First Action
Extinguish your candle (don’t blow it out—snuff it, to keep the energy contained). To truly honor Capricorn, take one tiny, 5-minute action toward your goal immediately after finishing the ritual. Send that email, organize that one drawer, or write that first paragraph. This proves to the Universe you are ready to work.
Capricorn New moon and duality
Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the new moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, the energy of Capricorn we see duality not only in it’s symbol the sea goat but, also in one of the main themes Capricorn represents; ambition. The sea goat like we talked about earlier is a mythical being that literally represents the duality of the material realm and the emotional or mythical realm. Others even believe the sea goat represents the duality of human existence through evolution, starting in the sea and than moving upwards onto land. Than there is the duality of ambition. While ambition is a very wanted thing. It is pivotal to our motivation, getting things done, and thriving in our life. But, on the other hand it also can cloud our mind, narrow our view/vision, damage our relationships, and lead to burn out by not caring for ourselves properly.
Second, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.
This new moon in Capricorn has another layer of duality with it being the last one of the year. This new moon in Capricorn ushers us across a threshold holding us in a unique pocket of liminal space. A pocket of time when we are still in one year but, just about to move to another year. From 2024 to 2025. From closing to opening. Ending to new beginning. Guiding us towards a new cycle and turning of the wheel to begin. Balancing us in both the seen and unseen, in frequency and matter, and the psychic and the physical as we do.
Final Thoughts for the Capricorn New Moon
As the first New Moon of 2026 fades into the stillness of the winter sky on January 18th, let it serve as a profound reminder that the climb itself is just as sacred as the summit. We often become so obsessed with the trophy at the top that we forget the character is forged in the ascent. This lunar cycle is a cosmic invitation to stop looking for shortcuts and instead pick up your tools with intention. It is a time to trust the quiet strength of your own bones and begin the patient, methodical work of building a life of substance—one that can withstand the winds of change because its foundations were laid in truth.
Under the velvet, dark sky of the Architect, you are being handed the silver pen to draft your own destiny. This is not a moment for fleeting wishes, but for deep, soul-level commitments. Use this “dark phase” of the moon to secure your boundaries, protect your vital energy from unnecessary distractions, and move into the remainder of the year with the steady, unyielding heart of a mountain. The void of the New Moon is not empty; it is a fertile space waiting for your command. How will you use this sacred silence to blueprint a legacy that outlasts the season and stands for years to come?

It’s hard to believe another year has gone by! As we welcome in a new calendar year it’s important to choose your word of the year! If you haven’t already chosen a word of the year now is the time to do it! Choosing a word of the year allows you to look back on your hopes and dreams for the year. You have the chance to set the stage for the year to come and focus on what you need most in your life right now. Your word of the year can help you set goals that share a common theme. Ideally, your word of the year should be something that inspires you to reach your goals, chase your dreams, and drives you to live a fuller life. I truly believe that choosing a word of the year can be one of the most powerful things you can do in terms of goal setting , manifestation, and personal growth when the new year comes around each time.
Why choose a word of the year?
In life, you can’t just wish for your dreams to come true. You need to commit to them, create a plan, and implement a system to make your goals a success. There are countless ways to do this. One that I find to be incredibly useful is to include a New Year’s word to constantly remind me of them and keep them at the forefront of my mind. Choosing a Word of the Year is like picking a theme or central idea you want to focus on for the whole year. It’s a simple way to remind yourself of what’s important and what you want to achieve or change in your life—like having a personal motto or slogan.
When you choose a word, it is usually what you need more of, what you want to focus on, or what you need to improve on. A lot of the time, my word has been blaringly obvious. It helps me gain clarity on my goals, my personal development plan, and stay committed to my goals all year long. This method I have been using for years has now become a cornerstone to the foundation of all my goal setting and manifestation work for each year to come. If all that’s not enough reasons to set a word of the year, I don’t know what is!
How do you choose your word of the year?
Choosing a word of the year doesn’t have to be hard. Your word of the year just needs to provide you with inspiration for the direction you desire this next year to go!
First step is to, reflect on the past year and on the next year ahead. Make sure you look at the highs and the lows of from the past year. Look at what worked and what didn’t. Be authentic and honest with yourself about how the past year truly made you feel. Don’t hide from yourself to try and make yourself feel more accomplished then maybe the last year went as well. But, also don’t let yourself get fixated on the things that didn’t come to fruition through manifestation. Instead be willing to see through your eyes with clarity, the lessons they have taught you as this chapter comes to a close. Below are some of the questions I have used from year to year to pick out my word of the year. Use any of them that speak out to your soul or come up with your very own!
What do you want to do or accomplish the most in the next year?
What was the overall feel of last year?
Is there something you want more of or don’t want in teh next year?
How do you want to feel by the end of next year?
Is there something important you want more of from the past year?
Is there something you cherish you want more of from the past year?
What skills did you learn in the past year you want to use in the next one? What new ones would you like to learn?
What was the biggest lesson you learned in 2025?
What is the biggest lesson you wish to learn in 2026?

It’s time to sit down and start to get a rough picture of how you want your goals to take shape in the year ahead. This step is crucial. If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s going to be extremely difficult to reflect on your accomplishments and assess if you were successful. While you are doing this make sure to take a close look at each of your goals and try to find any connections between them.

Now that you have this long list of words in front of you it time to narrow down your favorites. However you choose to do this is up to you. Whether you meditate, use a pendulum, simply sit and reflect on them or something else. Narrow it down to a few or handful of your favorites to choose from.
Drum roll…. Now is the time we have been waiting for. It is time to choose the word that you can commit to as the next year unfolds. As you choose your word you need to make sure you have a strong pull to it so, you feel you can truly commit to it. If you can’t commit to focusing on your word, then you won’t live up to your goals for the new year. You won’t make changes or put the effort forward Make sure, that your word just feels like it fits. Some years you’ll need a more active word because you’re in a season of growing. While others will be quieter and slower as you are in a season of reflection and introspection. So, make sure the one it is you choose sings to your soul and is one you can really commit to in the long year ahead.
My 2026 Word of the Year: Sovereignty
After reflecting on the steady foundation of Consistency I built throughout 2025, I felt a new call for the year ahead. The word singing to my soul for 2026 is Sovereignty.
What is Sovereignty? It is the state of being self-governing and independent. To live with sovereignty means to be the ultimate authority in your own life—acting from a place of internal alignment rather than external pressure. It is about owning your space, your choices, and your power.
Alchemizing the Fire of 2026 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle known for its intense momentum, passion, and rapid change. My goal is to use that fiery energy to alchemize the healing and transformation of this past year into true divine sovereignty.
I plan to achieve this by focusing on four core foundations:
Who I am: Reconnecting with my authentic identity.
What I want: Clarifying my deepest desires without apology.
What I know: Trusting my intuition and inner wisdom.
The skills I have: Utilizing the tools I’ve spent years mastering to build the life I deserve.
The Power of Living Sovereignly Choosing sovereignty as a guiding light offers profound benefits for our growth:
Decisive Boundaries: It empowers you to say “no” to what drains you and “yes” to what fuels you.
Inner Authority: You stop seeking external validation and start trusting your own compass.
Emotional Freedom: By owning your reactions, you become less susceptible to the whims of the world around you.
Radical Responsibility: Sovereignty allows you to take full ownership of your success and your happiness.
As we move into this high-energy year, I am stepping into my own light, fueled by the Fire Horse and anchored by the strength I’ve built.
Why I Chose Sovereignty for 2026
In 2025, my goal was Consistency, and it became the anchor I didn’t know I was going to desperately need. I went into that year thinking consistency was about checking off lists; I didn’t realize it would be the lifeline that kept me afloat during the most jarring spiritual awakening of my life.
Turning 33 and moving through my “Christ Year” brought a Kundalini rising that stripped me to my core. I was rebuilt in ways I never saw coming—parts of me died so that new versions of me could be born. This transformation happened while I was navigating the “absolute chaos” of reality: parenting and homeschooling a gifted child, working multiple jobs, running my business, and holding up my end of a marriage that, for the first time, wasn’t the solid rock I usually lean on.
Because I committed to consistency, I learned to ride those waves. I found the grace to listen to my intuition, stepping back for self-care when the energy was too much, which actually allowed me to surpass the goals I had set for myself. Consistency gave me the resilience to show up for my son, my passion, and my business even when I felt I had nothing left.
From Resilience to Royalty
Now, that consistency has led me to this moment. I am no longer just “showing up”—I am ready to rule.
I chose Sovereignty for 2026 because I am done hiding my magic. The healing and the “stripping down” of the past year have prepared me to step onto my own throne. Sovereignty is about reclaiming the power I’ve been building and allowing it to be seen in a way that no longer seeks permission or fears being “too much.”
In 2026, I am committing to:
Owning My Magic: Stepping fully into my role as a mystic to guide others through alchemy, sharing my knowledge and energy with authority.
Commanding My Worth: Allowing my self-worth to be the magnet that attracts every blessing, opportunity, and resource needed to bring my dreams into reality.
Ruling My Realm: Managing my life, my business, and my energy from a place of internal command—without doubt, without cruelty, and without the need for external validation.
The Fire Horse of 2026 demands movement and power. By focusing on the foundations of who I am and what I’ve learned through the fires of 2025, I am stepping into my divine sovereignty. I am no longer just surviving the chaos; I am the architect of my own reality.
What Does Living Sovereignly Look Like to Me in 2026?
It means standing as the ultimate authority in my own life. It means that every action I take is no longer just a habit, but a conscious choice made from my center. If 2025 was about the discipline of showing up, 2026 is about the power I wield now that I’ve arrived.
This year, I am building upon the five-year cycle of evolution, growth, and the alchemizing of my suffering. I am honoring the sacred container of my business and the massive progress I have made by finally allowing myself to lead it with total conviction. I will no longer ask for permission to be successful or wait for a “sign” to claim what is mine.
Living my Sovereignty means:
Commanding My Energy: I will take action rooted in my worth, regardless of the “noise” of the outside world.
Trusting My Magic: I am letting go of the self-doubt and the “imposter” narrative. A sovereign does not wonder if they belong on the throne; they simply sit.
Releasing Control for Command: I am letting go of the frantic need to control every outcome and perfectionism. Instead, I am stepping into command—a state of being where I trust my foundations enough to handle whatever the “Fire Horse” year throws my way.
Radical Authenticity: I am practicing what I preach by living as a Mystic who is fully integrated. I am no longer hiding my gifts to make others comfortable; I am letting my power be seen.
Consistency was the bridge that brought me here, but Sovereignty is the destination. This year, I commit to ruling my realm with honesty, grace, and an unshakable belief in my own divine right to thrive. In 2026, I am not just a participant in my life—I am its Queen.
How to use your word of the year?
Now, that you have gone through the steps and reflection to get to your word of the year what do you do? How do you incorporate this word into your life, manifestation and goal setting for the new year waiting to unfold. How do you take this one little word and have it be the corner stone of your dreams coming true, goals being met, and lasting change taking root? That is really truly going to depend on you and what you need. Think about what works best for you. Below are some of the things I have done in the past years you can try. Just listen to that little voice in your head and heart telling you which way to go.
My personal favorite, . If you haven’t learned how to create one to transform you year completely check out my guide here.
A lot of people like to call them vision boards but, I prefer to use goal boards. Using this term creates a much more urgent sense to complete what is on them instead of making them a some day dream. So, make sure when you create yours for this year your new word of the year you just chose inspires everything on it and is in the center of the board.
Are you a bullet journal fanatic like I am? Do you live your life on the pages of that journal? Why not put your world all over it? I do. I add it to the front o f the page and across every single margin so I see it every year.
Don’t use a bullet journal then write it on your planner, your calendar, or put on the notepad on your phone or lock screen as a home screen saver.
Use your word of the year to be the center of your goal setting mind map. This is one I love to do year after year. I take the word I choose then in the center of a page I write how can I…fill in this years word.. this years number. So for this year it said How can have sovereignty in 2026? Then around that question I make boxes for each categories of goals and answer the question for each one. This helps me guide with clarity the goals I should focus on in 2026.
Let your word of the year be the guide and center focus of the SMART goals you set for 2026. To learn more about SMART goals and how to set them check out my guide here.
, you use for the next year.
Another great idea is to create a list of books to read that support your word of the year. If you aren’t a book person then do a list of podcasts, YouTube videos, or documentaries instead.
That bullet journal we talked about earlier why not go and pick out 12 monthly quotes that align with your word of the year. use one each month and write it in your bullet journal , on your bathroom mirror, create a phone lock screen, or write it on your monthly calendar page. You can find daily motivation quotes on my Pinterest page to sift through.
Are you ready to do some extra introspection and reflection with the new year? Use your word of year to create journal prompts or as you focus with shadow work . If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here; you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.
Write your word on multiple pieces of small paper and seal them in a jar you decorate to pull out on days when you need to remember your focus for the year.
Take your word of the year and write it on sticky notes and place them all over your home to remind you of what is when you need it and you can’t forget it. You could even write it in the inside of your wrist. I have done that from time to time. I suggest don’t use permanent marker or sharpie. I have had it end up on my face by the morning while I sleep through transference. Not fun to try and wash off!
Are you more of a person who lives their life using their phone? Then why not take your word and have it on reminders, alarms, or calendar events to go off and be a consistent reminder for you.
Write your word down over and over and over again somewhere. Putting your goals which this word is tied to, in writing enhances their tangibility and strengthens your commitment to achieving them.
Share your word of the year with friends and loved ones. You can do this in anyway you like. When you Share your goals with trusted friends, family, or a mentor you gain encouragement and accountability. If you need a community to share your word with comment below, comment on facebook, or in my patreon.
Lastly, make sure to spend some time in a quiet, calm, and sacred container so you can meditate and visualize what living your life focused on your word of the year will look like, and feel like in the year to come.
Final Thoughts: Claiming Your Command
When it comes to choosing your own word of the year, remember: you are the architect of your own reality. There is no right or wrong way to do this. It is about selecting a single word—perhaps paired with a mantra, an affirmation, or a sacred quote—that acts as the North Star for your intentions.
Your word is more than just a focus; it is a reminder to walk your unique, destined path. It is the vibration you carry as you help heal the collective and touch the souls you encounter on your journey.
How to find your word for 2026:
Watch for the Spark: It might arrive in a sudden flash of alchemical inspiration or appear repeatedly in your daily life until you can no longer ignore it.
Listen to the Silence: It might emerge slowly as you sit in your power and listen to your inner wise mind.
Trust Your Intuition: You will know it when you feel it. Trust yourself to choose the word that resonates with your soul’s current evolution.
Once you have your word, set your goals and reach for the stars! The energy of 2026 and the Fire Horse is waiting to be harnessed, but it requires you to take the reins. This year will be your most magical and transformative yet—but only if you choose to claim it.

As the summer sun climbs high in the month of June, Father’s Day on the 15th beckons us to honor the steadfast, guiding essence of fatherhood—both earthly and divine. This sacred time calls witches and pagans to connect with father gods who embody the energies of strength, wisdom, and protective leadership. For many, Father’s Day is a moment of grounding reflection, where the divine masculine shines as the pillar of structure and guidance in our lives. We feel drawn to the embrace of these gods, to honor the paternal bonds that shape us, and to weave magic that celebrates the cycles of protection and growth. In this season of abundance, we may seek the power of authority, the clarity of wisdom, and the courage of leadership, as we listen to the echoes of ancestors and sow seeds of gratitude in the fertile earth of June. Several father gods rise to prominence, offering a profound connection to their guiding energies. Father’s Day, celebrated in June, is a pivotal time in pagan culture, filled with respect, renewal, and strength. Let’s step into a sacred circle of paternal magic, where spirits strengthen and hearts align, to pause, reflect, and honor the divine fathers as we meet some of these gods together in this post today.
The Divine Masculine: What It Means and Why We Work with It
The Divine Masculine is the sacred, universal energy that embodies strength, action, wisdom, and structure. It is the life-sustaining force present in all beings, often symbolized by the sun, the mountains, and the forge—elements that stand firm, protect, and create. In spiritual practices, the Divine Masculine represents qualities like courage, leadership, logic, and the power to build enduring legacies, relationships, and life itself. It complements the Divine Feminine, and together, they weave balance, much like the seasons we honor in pagan traditions. For me, the Divine Masculine is the steady heartbeat of the cosmos, the fatherly hand that guides us through challenges, urging us to trust our strength and embrace our purpose.
We work with the Divine Masculine to reconnect with our inner power, heal ancestral patterns, and cultivate self-discipline. By invoking this energy, we align with the cycles of creation and protection, learning to lead ourselves and others while embracing our assertive nature. On Father’s Day, the Divine Masculine takes center stage, as we honor the fathers in our lives and the god energy that flows through them. Working with the Divine Masculine helps us tap into our capacity for resilience, to strengthen familial ties, and to create a world where leadership and wisdom thrive. It’s a reminder that every act of guidance—whether for ourselves, our loved ones, or our communities—is a sacred offering to the Divine Masculine, aligning us with the eternal cycle of life.

The silvery rays and ever changing moon has captivated us since the dawn of time. We see this throughout antiquity with symbols, art, and countless myths and legends about the moon across the Earth. To this day it is still a central part to religious and spiritual beliefs and practices. It is a cornerstone to many pagans and witches worship, magic, and witchcraft as well. The powers of the moon are vast and varied across cultures and the earth. They range from being used for healing, love, prosperity, protection, fertility, death, rebirth, and more. In some cultures like in India a full moon for example it is thought to even be the time that ghosts come out to interact with the living. In antiquity some cultures even believed it to cause insanity. In modern times we have come to understand the moon to energetically affect us, the oceans, and the tides. As well as its ability to influence our emotions, psyche, and subconscious. In this guide let the light of this celestial body be illuminated to you. Like how to use its magic, the different phases, and its meanings throughout history.
What Is The Moon?
From lighting up our skies to maintaining a geological record of our solar system’s history, the moon is the Earth’s closest celestial neighbor. Earth’s Moon is the brightest and largest object in our night sky. The Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating Earth’s tilting axis, leading to a relatively stable climate. It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years. The origins of the moon are up for debate depending on who ask and where you look in history. If you ask NASA the Moon was likely formed after a Mars-sized body collided with Earth several billion years ago. But, again that is up for debate depending on what you believe and which myths and legends you read about the origins of the moon.
The Meanings Of The Moon In History
Over the centuries, the moon has been interpreted as a deity, and a planet, as well as a timekeeper and calendar. Different cultures have their own historical, cultural and religious relationships to the moon, so depending on where the artwork is presented, its meaning and interpretation will shift. For example in many if not most cultures, regions, and practices the moon will be deeply tied to the feminine energy, feminine aspects and even seen as a goddess. But keep in mind, though this is a very common thing to find among cultures it is not universal. There are cultures and belief systems who view the moon as masculine energy and as a God; like in the Japanese belief system of Shintoism and Ancient Sumer with the moon God Sin.
The moon had sway over just about every facet of our history, including scientific discovery, religion, climate, physiology, psychology and evolution. Its cycles of departure and return helped early humans grasp concepts such as “becoming, birth, vanishing, death, resurrection, renewal, and eternity.” They allowed us to expand our consciousness and our magic. Along with having us look to understand our place on this earth and in the cosmos.
The moon as a time keeper
The Moon has been Earth’s companion since the birth of the Solar System, 4.6 billion years ago. Ancient humans were captivated by the Moon’s cycles as it changed position, shape and vanished from the sky for part of its 28-day cycle. Stone age peoples recorded the phases of the Moon in various ways, as the observation of the Moon gave them a way to count the passage of days and predict the arrival of the seasons. Activities key to the development of human civilization like agriculture and hunting absolutely depended on reliable timekeeping, so all human societies developed ways to determine the length of the year.
Deities Of The Moon
With the moon and other celestial bodies there are certain themes, magic, and energies we have the ability to connect to them with, including deities. Everyone works with and views deity energy a little differently. Whether you view them as archetypes of the human consciousness, representations of the source energy, or as being entities on their own, there are certain deities that help you connect to and honor the illuminating and potent energy of the Moon in your life and magical practices. You can do this by invoking them through prayer, sigils, offerings and correspondences while doing lunar magic and ritual work. You can honor these deities during any of their sacred holidays and festivals or during potent lunar moon phases like the new or full moon phases as well. Let’s take a look at some of them below.
Artemis
Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting and nature, was born as the daughter of Zeus and Leto. Artemis, was the twin sister of Apollo. Their mother, Leto, faced numerous struggles during her pregnancy, as she was relentlessly pursued by the jealous Hera. Artemis helped her mother give birth to her brother Apollo, earning her reputation as the goddess of childbirth. Artemis would establish herself as the revered goddess of hunting, protector of young girls, and a powerful force in Greek mythology. Associated with various spheres of influence, she protected young girls and women and favored the Trojans in the ancient Greek literature. Depictions of Artemis show her with sacred symbols like the bow and arrow, a quiver, and her sacred animal, the deer. Stories of her wrath, such as the myth of Artemis and Actaeon, highlight her powerful vengeance.
Artemis is widely recognized as the virgin goddess in Greek mythology, embodying chastity and purity. Revered for her unwavering dedication to remaining unmarried and abstaining from romantic relationships, she symbolizes the ideal of a self-sufficient and independent woman. As the goddess of the hunt and nature, Artemis was revered as a role model for young girls and women. Her commitment to virginity set her apart from other deities and granted her a unique status within the Greek pantheon. Worship of Artemis played a significant role in ancient Greek society with numerous temples and rituals dedicated to her.
Changxi Goddess
The Changxi Goddess, a prominent figure in Chinese mythology, holds the title of the lunar deity. Often confused with Chang’e, she is Di Jun’s second wife and the mother of the twelve lunar months, including Earth’s Moon. Legends tell of her stealing and devouring a herb of immortality from her husband, Hou Yi, also known as the Excellent Archer. As a result, she found protection under the moon, becoming the lunar goddess we know today. The Changxi Goddess, a prominent figure in Chinese mythology, holds the title of the lunar deity. Often confused with Chang’e, she is Di Jun’s second wife and the mother of the twelve lunar months, including Earth’s Moon. According to ancient Chinese mythology, Di Jun and Changxi are blessed with twelve children, each representing a lunar month. These lunar months are intricately linked to the Earth’s Moon and its phases, symbolizing the ever-changing nature of time and cycles. The legend between her and Hou Yi explain the reason for the separation of the moon and sun as well in Chinese mythology.
Selene
Selene the Greek goddess of the moon is a prominent figure in Greek mythology. As the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, she is revered during the phases of the Full Moon and New Moon. Depicted riding a horse or driving a chariot pulled by white horses, Selene is known for her associations with Zeus, Pan, and the mortal Endymion. Her influence can be seen in various artistic representations, including the famous sculpture in the Parthenon. Additionally, Selene’s worship involves rituals and festivals tied to the moon, emphasizing her connection to magic and sorcery. Her role as the personification of the moon is fascinating, encompassing various intriguing stories and connections with other gods and mortals.
Sin
Sin also called Nanna (or Suen) was a Sumerian/ Mesopotamian god who played a longstanding role in the Mesopotamian religion and mythology. He was the god of the moon, the son of the sky god Enlil and the grain goddess Ninlil. Sin’s origin myth is a story of his father’s passion and his mother’s sacrificial love. The virgin Ninlil bathes in the sacred river, where she is seen by the “bright eye” of Enlil, who falls in love with her and seduces (or rapes) her. The assembly of the gods then banishes Enlil to the underworld for this transgression. Ninlil, knowing she is pregnant with the “bright seed of Sîn,” follows Enlil to the world of the dead. Once the moon god is born in the underworld, three additional deities are born to his parents, allowing Sin to take his place in the skies to light up the night. To learn more about him you can attend my free class with Divination on him on 6/23 here.
The Moon, Women, And Their Menstrual Cycles
Since, the moon is also commonly associated with the feminine energy of the universe. This means that the moon is often thought to be connected to women and femininity which includes having an effect on their menstrual cycle. For thousands of years, women have noticed their moon cycles (menstruation – the syllable men meaning moon/month) syncing up with the moon’s phases. This is lunar magic at its core. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too does the womb. There are even deeper connections to this including linking what moon phase a women menstruates on and their current life phase. We will go deeper into that on an upcoming blogpost though so keep an eye out. Or you can read my study guide from divination academy on the topic here.
Lunar AKA Moon Magic
The moon has been linked to various magical practices throughout history and cultures. One of these is called lunar magic or moon magic. Lunar magic involves using the phases of the moon to cast spells. Each phase of the moon like we will talk about below has it’s own unique energy and properties and using those energies and properties in our spells and rituals is what lunar magic is.
Phases Of The Moon
Some nights, at the time of the Full Moon, we admire its beauty and grandeur. Other nights, when it starts to fade, it becomes thin and inconspicuous, so different from the peak of its fullness and magical glory. The moon seems to grow and then fade over the period of one lunar cycle (one month). This growing, reaching its full potential, and then diminishing is referred to as moon phases. As mentioned before, lunar phases can be used to enhance magical workings by invoking various energies that align with different moon cycles. The ever-changing lunar cycles remind us of the cyclical nature of life itself. The Moon constantly passes through this cycle of growth and decline, and the phases of the Moon are different parts of this never-ending cycle.
Understanding each stage of the Moon cycle can help guide us on our journey of personal growth and development. They can help guide us on what magical spells and workings will aid us the most in our lives as well at the right time.
New Moon: when the moon begins its next cycle; magic includes new beginnings, new opportunities, wiping the slate clean and starting over “anew”, new friendships, new love, cleansing, fertility, any spell work that has to do with careers and businesses as well. I look at this phase as the most potent time to plant seeds of intentions and manifestation that you wish you bloom and grow. To learn much more about this phase you can read my blogpost on the topics here. Waxing Moon: when the moon grows in size before reaching its fullest; magic involves “growing” things in your life including success, relationships, abundance, healing, love, beauty, money, etc. Full Moon: to some one of the most powerful moon phases; moon is full size; magic includes love, healing, protection, intuition, dreams, connecting with the gods and ancestors, reaching your “fullest” potential, water magic, and divination. I look at this phase as the most potent time to release things unwanted things and obstacles. It is the time to anchor down into your goals, intentions and manifestations. To learn more about this moon phase and how to align with it specifically you can read my blogpost on the topic here. Waning Moon: when the moon seems to fade or grow smaller; this lunar magic includes getting rid of or diminishing things like bad habits, illness, addiction, toxic relationships, and also includes releasing, banishing, and cleansing rituals Dark Moon: The Dark Moon is the few days before a New Moon when the moon seems to be completely gone. I’ve found the dark moon is perfect for shadow work and to recall past lives.

Lunar Eclipses
So, what about a lunar eclipse? I want to take a moment to talk about them because if you go online especially on social media you will see countless warnings telling you not do any workings during a lunar eclipse including making moon water. They say its a time of bad omens, and a time that is too chaotic to harness and work with. I simply don’t agree with this. This may be because I am a grey witch. I just don’t see why we can’t work with a moon phase that is chaotic. The universe and all that exists within it sprouted from chaos or nothingness. This is common theme in belief systems, cultures, and stories across the Earth and time like in Mesopotamia with the goddess Tiamat. So, wouldn’t working with chaos like the lunar eclipse be a very primal and potent things for us humans to do? I think so. But, it will be up to you and what you decide for your own practices and beliefs.
Triple Goddess
Wiccans, and other pagans particularly neopagans associate the Triple Goddess with the moon’s phases: the maiden (waxing moon), the mother (full moon), and the crone (waning moon). We all go through these phases in our lives (both men and women) corresponding to our physical bodies: youth, adult years, and our elder years. And corresponding with our spiritual bodies: when we begin our journey, the middle of our journey and the end. Keep an eye out for my upcoming blogpost on this topic recapping my previously taught class.
The Moon And Duality
Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the moon. The moon itself is all about duality as it is celestial body that is all about transformation, transition, and rebirth. With those energies we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles holding us back or to be looking at the hope and abundance of all we could possibly bring into our life. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality.
The Moon And Astrology
In astrology, the moon is a powerful planet that can influence a person’s emotions, personality, and experiences based on its position in their birth chart. The moon’s influence can be wanted or unwanted, depending on its position, aspects, and other elements. The Moon represents the personal self, the feelings and the unconscious. It is a reflection of the true self, represented by the Sun. The Moon also stands for security and instinctual or habitual patterns, as well as the ability to relate to others, and to be nurturing to others. The Moon represents the feminine and nurturing part of oneself in astrology as well. The Moon represents our deepest personal needs, our basic habits and reactions, and our unconscious. Where the Sun acts, the Moon reacts.
The areas the moon is said to represent in astrology are below:
Emotions: How a person reacts to things, what they need to feel safe and happy, and their emotional makeup Instincts: What’s deep inside a person Relationships: How a person connects with others, especially their relationship with their mothers or other maternal figures Sentiments: What makes a person sentimental
In astrology, a moon sign is the position of the moon in the zodiac at the time of a person’s birth and it’s considered a key part of a person’s astrological profile. Below is a brief list of what each moon sign can mean and how it can affect you in your life and magic. To learn more you can watch this class series on Astrology with Divination Academy here.
First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , the zodiac energy the moon is currently in or the celestial body the moon itself; like I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition and work the correspondences that resonate with you or that are easy for you to get access to.

How To Connect To And Work With the Moon
When working with the moon there are certain spells and rituals that will help connect you to this celestial body in the most effective way. Remember these are just some of the many ideas, follow your intuition and the energy of the phase the is currently in. You can find more ways to connect to the moon and more information on many of these forms of magic on my Pinterest page here and my Facebook here. Also keep in mind this list can be expanded so much further when you take into account the current zodiac sign the moon is in. To get more ideas based on that you can look through my blog for many different posts. This list is just some of the basic ways you can start doing lunar magic and working with the moon.
Moon Gazing
Many people don’t know where to start with lunar magic and working with the moon. I often hear they are overwhelmed by the different phases and their energies. My first suggestion is to go outside at night and identify the moon’s phase. Do this time and time again until you instinctively know what phase the moon is in. If you can’t see the moon or can’t get outside, you can also use a moon phase app on your phone (most are free to download). Or simply google it. One of my favorite things still this day to do with the moon is to sit in the silence under its rays and mindfully gaze at it. It has been said throughout cultures and history doing this practice called moon gazing connects you to the moon itself and allows you to take in the magical energies. This would be the first place I would start to help you understand how the energy of the moon affects you as if shifts through its cycle. Doing this will help your body and yourself become much more aware of how the moon affects you in each phase and how to harness its magic.
Make Moon Water
Another great way to connect to the moon is by collecting moon water! This practice is really honestly a staple when it comes to working with them moon. It’s fairly easy to do, and doesn’t require many tools in all reality all you needs is vessel preferably glass to hold water in. It’s a potent and powerful tool to add to your practice and your altar for many different purposes like spells, rituals, and offerings.
So, what is it? Moon water is simply water that has been exposed to the moonlight and charged with a Magical intention. The water will now embody the properties and energy of that moon phase and the astrological sign it was in so we can use it whenever we need it in our craft. This charged water becomes a tangible connection for you to have to the moon! You can use it on your altar, in spell workings, to connect to the archetype energy of the moon, and as an offering to a deity/ element/ or the moon itself. Moon water is highly beneficial for both your life and your witchy practice. To learn more about his practice and how to make moon water read about it here in my previous blogpost.
Attend a Moon Ceremony on the new and/or full moon
Another way you can connect with and work with the moon is by attending ceremonies, rituals, or meditations to honor the new and full moon. Though working with all the phases of the moon is ideal sometimes life can overwhelming or we simply don’t have the time to connect to each lunar phase that month. It’s alright to pick and chose which phases you can work with that lunar cycle and I would recommend for potency, meaning, and simplicity to work with the new and full moon. To make those a priority to observe. This should be really easy for you to do thankfully! If you go on google or Facebook you will find countless events even online for each new moon and full moon every month that you can attend live or watch replays of later. Plus I not only write about them I also host one you can attend too! You can always come and join me with Divination Academy where I host them for free here! This is one of the first things I recommend to my students on a magical path. Make it a point for one calendar year to observe and connect to every new and full moon and watch your life, emotions, and magic grow like never before.
Perform Simple Spells
Next, start with a simple moon ritual or spell. For example you could perform a cleansing bath on the waning or new moon. Add a few herbs to the water that correspond to the moon or crystals and use it to connect to the moon, your emotions, and for cleansing. On the Full Moon, perform a simple candle spell for protection or abundance. Lunar magic really isn’t that hard once you start to align with the phases of the moon and the energy of that phase. So, whenever you need to perform a spell, stop and take time to think about the moon phase it corresponds with and than cast your spell during that phase. It not only leads to more potent and wanted results but, also helps align you with the energy and ever changing phases of the moon.
Keep a moon journal
While your learning a new magic and even after as you continue to work with it. It always is a good idea to keep a journal of yours studies and experiences while working with that type of magic. Write about how each moon phase makes you feel and how it affects the people around you. Record any moon rituals or spells you do and the outcomes. Also, take note of any unusual dreams during certain moon phases or if you notice any increased paranormal activity. Another way you can journal with the moon phases is each new moon make sure to journal and reflect about the things you want manifested and bring into your life. While on the full moon you use that phase to journal about the things you need to release and reflect from your past or now to allow yourself to bring the things you want into your life.
Make a simmer pot that corresponds to the energy of the current moon phase
Perform protection spells or rituals
Dreamwork
Wrap Up
However you choose to connect to the moon just remember these few things, Check the sign the moon is in and tailor your rituals, spells, and manifestations to align with that energy along with the phase the moon is currently in. Remember your spells and rituals can be as simple and as complex as you would like them to be. But, no matter what aligning with the ever changing phases of the moon in you life and magic will bring about profound and potent growth, transformation and healing for you. By connecting you to the cyclical energy of nature and the cosmos around you with it’s illuminating rays.
