New moon

A new moon occurs when the sun and moon align on opposite ends of the moon, so the moon’s backside is lit and frontside is dark, obscuring our view of la luna. In this obscured ‘nothingness' we find limitless potential.

New moons are blank canvases for painting. New moons kick off the lunar cycle, symbolizing fresh starts and new beginnings. Use this lunar phase to take inventory of your energy, set intentions, and manifest.

Full moon

A full moon describes when the moon is directly opposite the sun, and both luminaries are positioned 180 degrees apart in the zodiac. Full moons occur at the midpoint of a lunar cycle, or the moon’s orbit around the earth. Because the entire moon’s visible ‘frontside’ is illuminated during this phase, this is a time of clarity and completion.

Full moons are a culmination or fulfillment of energy, intentions, or projects initiated during the previous new moon in the same sign. In astrology, the moon symbolizes emotions, intuition, and subconscious. Full moons heighten our sensitivity, intensifying emotions and illuminating any brewing issues in need of release.

Q: Can I follow the moonscopes from a different timezone?

I highly recommend using the downloadable calendar feature. You can download moonscope calendars to sync with your iCal, Outlook, or Gmail calendar. When you do this, the calendar automatically updates to your time zone, and you can easily track where the moon is each day.
