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.
