The Daily Mood of the Moon

The moon travels through each sign of the zodiac for about two and a half days making the full round through all twelve signs over the course of each lunar cycle. So this emotional landscape is constantly changing. In this way the moon gives us a microdose of each sign, like short visitations of unique moods that offer variety and different flavors that repeat over and over in cycles.  

The daily moon is said to be the mood, and what sign it's traveling through is like the emotional landscape that the moon is visiting or carrying for a short time on its journey around the earth. The moon is a messenger, a mirror, and filter for this archetypal energy.

Here is a reference and tool from that series to help with with seeing the big picture and getting a feel for each of the signs grouped by element:

Each sign is an embodiment and expression of one of the four elements: fire, earth, air and water as well as one of the three modes that those elements express: cardinal, fixed, and mutable.

The moon’s instinct is for taking care of ourselves, to create belonging, to nurture, to feel and respond emotionally, to trust the process, to lean into rhythm and repetition, and become more at ease with change. The archetype of the moon in astrology is beyond logic and reason, and connects us to the realms of intuition and inner knowing. The moon can inspire us to reveal ourselves to ourselves and create intimacy with others by doing the same.

One way to work with lunar transits is to connect with your own emotional landscape and to be a witness and observe the shifts and changes you experience day to day. This may be subtle at first, but repetition over time strengthens the practice of self-study in relationship with cycles. It is a way to nurture more compassion for yourself and others as well as become more skillful at navigating transitions within your own emotional landscape. 

Here’s the new color-coded chart printed on the pages of the Lunar Wall Calendar so you can see the elements, signs, and glyphs at a glance:

Some signs may be more potent for you because of the signatures in your birth chart so it creates an opportunity to honor your unique experience as your truth. This personal connection can be further illuminated through lunar tracking.

May the moon continue to be a dear companion on this journey through cycles!!
