Write 3 intentions on paper by candlelight. Fold the paper toward you. Place under a glass of water overnight and drink it at dawn.
Each morning write one action toward your intention. By the full moon you will have a map of real steps taken.
Name the one obstacle between you and your goal. Write 3 ways to move through it. Choose one and act today.
List what has already shifted since the new moon. Read it aloud. Feel gratitude for the distance already traveled.
Write what you are releasing on paper. Read it aloud under the moon. Tear and safely burn or bury the paper.
Give something away — knowledge, time, or a gift. Give anonymously if possible. Notice how releasing creates space.
Write what you are ready to forgive. Write: "I forgive this and release it to the past." Fold the paper away from you.
Clean your living space. Light a candle. Journal freely — let whatever wants to emerge come. Then rest.
Every full moon date, sign, and special event for the year ahead.

The moon phase describes how much of the moon's surface is illuminated from Earth's perspective. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon changes — creating the cycle from new moon (dark) to full moon (fully lit) and back.
Ancient and modern practitioners recognize the lunar cycle as a natural rhythm that mirrors inner cycles of rest, growth, peak energy, and release. Many people notice emotional shifts around the full moon, heightened intuition during waning phases, and renewed clarity at the new moon.
Each phase has its own ritual purpose. New moon is ideal for setting intentions. Waxing phases support building and growing. The full moon is peak energy for manifesting and releasing. Waning phases are for gratitude and letting go.
This calculator uses a precise astronomical anchor point and the synodic period of the moon (29.53 days) to determine the current phase. The phase boundaries are within hours of published astronomical data.
