Living in the rhythm of the moon

For centuries, people have observed the moon and its recurring rhythms. A moon calendar brings these rhythms into everyday life and shows which moments are traditionally considered especially favorable or less favorable for certain activities.

What is a moon calendar?

A moon calendar shows far more than just full moon and new moon. At its center are two pieces of information in particular: the current moon phase and the position of the moon in the zodiac.

From the interaction of these two rhythms, recommendations for different areas of everyday life are derived. In this way, the moon calendar serves as a daily guide: it shows not only which phase and zodiac sign the moon is currently in, but translates this constellation into practical guidance for everyday life.

Not only what we do, but also when we do something, can make a difference.

Every day has its own quality - the moon calendar helps you recognize it and use it consciously.

What is a moon calendar useful for?

The basic idea is: not only what we do, but also when we do something, can make a difference. According to traditional moon knowledge, some activities may be easier or unfold differently at certain times than at others.

How does a moon calendar work?

The recommendations come from the interaction of different moon rhythms. The moon phases and the assignment of the moon to zodiac signs are especially important.

1

The moon phases

During a lunar month, the visible shape of the moon changes from Earth.

🌑New moonNew beginning · Letting go · Turning point
🌒Waxing moonReceiving · Building · Strengthening
🌕Full moonPeak · Turning point
🌘Waning moonCleansing · Relieving · Releasing
2

The moon in the zodiac

The moon travels through the entire zodiac in roughly one month.

If the moon is in Leo, the day is considered a fire, warmth, and fruit day in this system.

Example - Aries

Fire · Fruit

Head, eyes, nose

When the moon is in Aries, it is known as an Aries day. This day is assigned to the head and sensory organs and belongs to the element fire - fruit day.

This means:

  • Physically and mentally, the head, eyes and nose are considered especially sensitive.
  • Activities for these areas may be easier and can have a strengthening effect.
  • Exaggeration and too much strain may become tiring more quickly.

Favorable for:Plans, decisions, mental work, sport, movement, eye and head care

Less favorable for:Operations and procedures involving the head and eye area

Example - Virgo

Earth · Root

Digestive organs

When the moon is in Virgo, it is known as a Virgo day. This day is assigned to the digestive organs and belongs to the element earth - root day.

This means:

  • Physically and mentally, digestion and metabolism are in focus.
  • Activities for these areas often work especially well and sustainably.
  • Exaggeration and too much cold may have a burdensome effect.

Favorable for:Order, cleaning, fasting, healthy nutrition, body care, harvesting root vegetables, healing work, massages

Less favorable for:New beginnings, major exertion, excessive indulgence
