 THIS GUIDE

Hi lovely! Thanks for downloading

this guidebook. Let me ask you a quick
question... how often do you look up at
the moon?
When I moved to Hawaii in 2015,
I had no idea what an amazing effect
the moon & stars would have on me. I
quickly became SO connected to their
magic that it was hard to ignore.

I started out by tracking the phases of the moon and began

noticing how it waxes and wanes along with my energy and emotions.
Eventually I also began to track the zodiac signs the moon moved
through to become more aware of how I felt during each one and I
began to notice a distinct difference in my mood and even my thought
patterns depending on where the moon was located at any given time.

What started out as a mild curiosity turned into a major

confirmation of the planetary effects on all of us here on Earth,
and the beginning of my love affair with astrology.

I no longer live in Hawaii, unfortunately, but I have brought this

awareness & knowledge back with me in the hopes of sharing it with
you. I’ve learned that when you know more about what is going on
in the sky, you can also become more aware of what is going on in
your inner world and you can use this information to work towards
manifesting magic in your life & career at exactly the right times.

I created this guidebook so you can begin to become more aware

of the effects our magnificent, magical moon has on you, and maybe
you will even fall in love with it too?

The next time you look up at the moon, try to notice which
phase its in. Is it bright and bold in the sky? Or is it thin and small,
as if hidden behind a dark veil?

✧ The bigger & brighter the moon, the more your deeper and
sometimes hidden emotions come to the surface to be revealed. As the
moonbeams light up the sky, it creates a bigger flow of energy and it
signals to our minds that we are meant to get up, get out there, and do
something wild, courageous, bold, or maybe even freeing.

✧ The darker & thinner the moon, the more inclined you may
feel to turn inwards to check in with your desires for the future and re-
cultivate your intentions and creative urges. You may opt to stay home
and read a book instead of going out with your friends. Perhaps you
feel like being creative, or resting, or journaling to try to decide which
direction you would like to head in with your life & career next.

 Wait... WHY DOES THE MOON GET DARK?
The reason why the Moon gets dark is because it has no light of its own. Its job is to
reflect the light from the Sun and the other planets and this is what gives its brightness.
This is the same light that it zaps back down to us on Earth like a satellite! This is also why
the Moon turns red during a Lunar Eclipse. The color red comes from the planets Mars &
Jupiter which are our closest neighbors on the opposite side of us from the Sun.

✧ NEW MOON: Setting Intentions
When the moon is dark, a new cycle officially begins. This is a time of focusing on your
hopes & dreams for the future in order to set intentions on what you would like to
manifest into your life and career next. All of the possibilities may feel endless!

✧ FIRST QUARTER MOON: Planning & Researching

Once the moon’s light shines over half of the moon’s surface, we gather all of our plans
& research from the past week and begin to commit to making them happen by taking
action in a solid way. At this point, you can really begin to get things rolling along.

✧ FULL MOON: Manifesting & Releasing

As soon as the moon is fully illuminated, we can turn our hard work into blessings
and lessons. Our deeper emotions also rise to the surface along with the ocean’s tides,
bringing to light our true feelings as we celebrate the results of our efforts & begin to
release or forgive what is no longer working out or serving our highest good.

✧ LAST QUARTER MOON: Sharing & Reflecting

When the moon’s light fades back down to illuminate only half of the moon again, we
reach the point in our moon cycle that is all about sharing our blessings with others
and looking back to reflect on all that we have been learning about ourselves in order to
formulate a new set of intentions for the next New Moon.

To get even more specific with the type of vibes the Moon is
giving off, regardless of which phase its in, we can track where in
the sky its hanging out.

✧ As the Moon orbits around the Earth, it crosses through a new

zodiac sign (or zone of the sky) every 2.5 days. According to astrology,
each zodiac sign has its own distinct personality traits including
underlying desires, behavioral patterns, and overall archetype, and the
moon crosses through them all every moon cycle.

✧ This is where it may seem like we begin to dive into ‘woo woo’
territory, but astrology has been practiced and recognized by scholars
and truth seekers since before the dawn of time. Before there were
books & stories, there were the stars, our first real teachers.

ANAIS NIN
 TO INFINITY, AND BEYOND!
Over the next few pages, I will be going into the type of vibe that may be felt when the Moon
is in each zodiac sign. Keep in mind that these vibes will also depend on your own Moon Sign
which is determined by the sign the moon was in when you were born. This is where things
may start to seem more complicated because we begin crossing over from mere stargazers
into beginner astrology students. However, I truly believe the best way to begin understanding
astrology is by noticing the small ways it affects you personally.
