Moonology made easy

The moon is one of the simplest energies we can start to work with when it comes to moonology. Not because the moon energy itself is simple, but because we can clearly observe this ever-changing lunar power in the night sky each evening. Watching the moon ebb and flow throughout the month can act as a great indicator and remind us where our focus needs to be.

How can you work with the moon?

The moon’s power can be harnessed to attract, create and manifest positive things into your life, or you can use its peaceful energies to let go of all that no longer serves you. It is so beautiful to work with the moon and feel the support of the universe.

The moon is split into eight phases but to keep things simple we will be focusing on the four quarters, looking at what energy the moon represents in each phase and how the astrology signs affect the purpose of that moon phase. For example, a New Moon in Scorpio will be inviting us to explore different aspects of ourselves to a New Moon in Cancer.

Each month we’ll be sharing a practice to create a mini toolbox for working with the moon -- the second tool to support your process is how to create a simple ceremony.

Creating a ceremony

Continuing your journey from last month, it is now time to set an intention. Let’s talk about creating a simple ceremony. There are eight steps to creating a simple moon ceremony.

Create a sacred space

Set up a space where you feel safe. Light candles and place sacred objects (these can be objects of significance or things that bring you joy). Create a nice setting and use incense or essential oils to add beautiful scents. Allow the space you have created to help you feel empowered and loved.

Clear

Take a moment to clear the energy within yourself and your sacred space. This can be done by burning incense, the use of singing bowls or simple visualisation. I like to use the elements to clear energies, but you can find what works for you.
