This month's lunar phases
New moon, quarters and full moon set the rhythm of our satellite's cycle of roughly 29.5 days.
Last quarter in Scorpio
A time for sorting and gratitude, to lighten your everyday life before the next cycle.
New moon in Aquarius
A blank-page moment: the ideal time to set an intention and plant an idea.
First quarter in Gemini
Momentum takes shape: it is time to fine-tune your plans and take action.
Full moon in Virgo
The light is at its peak: a time to harvest, to celebrate and to release what has run its course.
Eclipses
Eclipses are intensified lunations, traditionally associated with turning points and moments of realisation.
No eclipse this month: a sky that favours continuity.
Retrogrades
Seen from Earth, a planet sometimes appears to move backwards: a time better suited to reviewing than to big launches.
Jupiter retrograde in Libra
An apparent motion, as seen from Earth. Themes in focus: growth and beliefs: a time to take in what you have learnt.
Mars retrograde in Libra
An apparent motion, as seen from Earth. Themes in focus: energy and motivation: a time to channel and consolidate before charging ahead.
The Sun changes sign
Each month, the Sun enters a new sign and colours the collective mood with a fresh energy.
The Sun enters Pisces
Pisces season begins: its qualities (empathy, imagination, gentleness) colour the collective mood.
Retrograde planets in mid-February
- Mars retrograde
- Jupiter retrograde
A retrograde is nothing to worry about: it is an invitation to slow down, review and revisit the themes of the planet concerned before moving forward.
How to use the moon calendar
The Moon has always been a way of marking time. In astrology, its cycle offers a simple framework for attuning your plans to an energy that builds, peaks and then recedes.
- New moon: set an intention, write down a wish, start small. It is time to sow.
- Waxing moon: move forward step by step, nurture what you have started, reach out, be bold.
- Full moon: take stock, celebrate your progress and let go of what no longer serves you.
- Waning moon: sort, tidy, finish. An ideal time to lighten your everyday life before the next cycle.
Look at the sign the Moon is passing through, too: it sets the emotional tone of the days (more drive in Fire, more practicality in Earth, more connection in Air, more sensitivity in Water).
