Lunar Rhythms: Best Times for Your Rituals
The Moon’s ever-changing phases provide natural cycles for setting intentions, releasing, and growth. Here’s how you can align your rituals with the powerful energy in the coming weeks and months:
Waxing Gibbous: October 1st-5th
The Waxing Gibbous is the time to be a diligent worker, making sure all the pieces are in place and giving your goals the final surge of energy needed for them to burst into fruition at the Full Moon. This is a brilliant time to work with the element of fire and candle magic.
Full Moon: Monday, October 6th:
The Full Moon brings maximum energy and illumination, shining a bright light on truths and bringing emotions to the surface. With the Moon currently positioned in the fiercely independent Fire sign of Aries, this energy is amplified, calling for bold, instinctual action. It is the peak phase of the cycle, making it a powerful time for letting go of what no longer serves you, celebrating your progress, and channeling your inner fire toward self-mastery. To gain clarity on the decisive steps this illumination compels you to take, it is an ideal moment to book a tarot reading, charge your crystals and make moon water.
Waning Gibbous: October 7th-12th
This Fire-ruled Waning Gibbous demands courageous release and purification. Don’t just release; dive into the Subconscious with the Reflect ritual to actively shed what is not serving your highest self, aligning your inner work with the moon’s energy as it moves toward the next quarter.
Last Quarter Moon: October 13th Introspection & Releasing
The Last Quarter Moon marks a critical turning point where introspection gives way to necessary action. Use this powerful phase to take decisive steps and completely sever the ties with any lingering patterns or obsolete commitments that surfaced during your review. This is the moment to apply all the wisdom gained and fully clear the slate for the upcoming New Moon. Align intention with meaningful action with the Unbound or Sever rituals.
Waning Crescent: October 14th-20th
The Waning Crescent phase is the moon’s final, quiet whisper, calling for rest, integration, and surrender. Having performed the deep-cleaning work of release, this is the time to gather the ashes and completely let go of all effort. Focus on self-care, healing, and deep reflection on the lessons learned during the cycle. Trust that the work is complete. Align your spirit with acceptance and stillness by utilizing Soma Soul to soothe and recenter your mind and body, in preparation for the blank slate of the New Moon.
New Moon: October 21st Planting Seeds of Intention
The New Moon is a potent portal for self-reflection, new beginnings, and focused creation. To harness this transformative energy, commit to your highest future self now. This is the ideal moment to perform Manifest: The Alignment Ritual or to clearly set new, powerful intentions for the cycle ahead.
