To find out the best times for waxing or cutting your hair according to moon phases, check out our lunar hair removal calendar.
✨ Moon energies are incredibly powerful. Now that you have the dates, don't miss our tips to maximize this energy.
To keep it handy all year round, we've created a beautiful lunar calendar just for you.
The lunar cycle lasts 29 days and passes through 4 moon phases, each carrying a specific energy:
From the New Moon to the First Quarter, the Moon is in a waxing phase, then from the Full Moon to the Last Quarter, it moves into a waning phase.
The New Moon is the ideal time to plant the seeds of your intentions. It is a period of renewal, conducive to reflection and planning, and above all, the moment to write your abundance check.
As the Moon waxes, it's time to take action and make decisions. The energy is dynamic and pushes you to move forward.
The Full Moon illuminates the sky and our inner lives. It is a period of culmination and gratitude for what has been accomplished.
As the Moon wanes, it is time to reflect and release whatever no longer serves your growth.
Importance of the Moon Sign and Rising Sign during New and Full MoonsDuring Full and New Moons, those corresponding to our zodiac sign have a greater impact on us, our willpower, and our consciousness... However, if a New Moon or Full Moon takes place in another sun sign, it can have just as much impact on us:

If my birthday falls on the day of a New Moon, I was born with a Sun-Moon Conjunction in my birth chart. There may be confusion between my feminine and masculine sides. These two planets are antagonistic. Here the feminine, represented by the Moon, is intimately linked to the masculine, represented by the Sun.
It is also possible that the unconscious (the Moon) and the conscious (the Sun) mingle, meaning my feminine and masculine energies are blended. Over time and with age, it becomes easier to find balance and bearings.
During a New Moon, we are more sensitive, especially during a New Moon in our birth sign.
If my birthday falls on the day of a Full Moon, it means I was born during an Opposition between the Sun and the Moon. Here, there is a higher risk of difficulties. Harmony with the opposite sex is complicated (the native might, for example, experience a divorce during their lifetime).
One might also experience inner imbalance, emotional instability, very changeable moods, etc., or be torn between socio-professional ambition (the Sun) and private or family projects (the Moon).
During a Full Moon, we are much more sensitive and affected, especially if it occurs in our birth sky.

From July 26, 2026, until March 26, 2028, the North Node is in Aquarius and the South Node in Leo. In 2027, there's no axis change: the whole year lives under this lesson, paced by five eclipses, from February 6 to August 17. I'll explain what this transit changes for your sign.
Venus retrograde from October 3 to November 13, 2026, in Scorpio then in Libra since October 25: it's the only retrograde of the year. In 2027, there won't be any: the next one starts on May 10, 2028. I'll explain what it stirs up for your sign.
No Mars retrograde in 2026: the next retrograde starts in Virgo on January 10, 2027, slips back into Leo on February 21 and ends on April 1, 2027. It's the only one of 2027, and the next one won't come until February 14, 2029. I'll explain what it changes for your sign.
Jupiter retrograde in Leo from December 12, 2026 to April 12, 2027: it has already been moving through its shadow period since September 17. In 2027, it stays retrograde until April 12, then the next one waits until January 12, 2028, in Virgo. I'll explain what it changes for your sign.
Saturn retrograde in Aries from July 26 to December 10, 2026: it's its only retrograde of the year. In 2027, it will back up again in Aries, from August 9 to December 23. I'll explain what it changes for your sign.
Uranus is retrograde in Gemini from September 10, 2026, to February 8, 2027: it's the big retrograde of the year, and the first one entirely in this sign. In 2027, it will back up again from September 15, 2027, to February 12, 2028. I'll explain what it means for your sign.
