2026 Lunar Calendar: Don't Miss a Single Full Moon!

How to identify Moon phases?

The lunar cycle lasts 29 days and passes through 4 moon phases, each carrying a specific energy:

• 🌑 New Moon
• 🌓 First Quarter
• 🌕 Full Moon
• 🌗 Last Quarter

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.

🌑 New Moon: Renewal and Intention

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. 

• Recommended Activities: Take time to meditate and center yourself. Write your intentions and goals for the coming month in a journal.
• Ritual: Create a sacred space at home, light a white candle, and visualize your intentions manifesting. You can also prepare a vision board to materialize your dreams.

🌓 First Quarter: Action and Decision

As the Moon waxes, it's time to take action and make decisions. The energy is dynamic and pushes you to move forward.

• Recommended Activities: Launch new projects or take bold initiatives. It's time to step out of your comfort zone.
• Ritual: Write a to-do list and commit to taking at least one concrete action every day. Visualize your progress and celebrate every small victory.
• First Quarter Influence : The moon has completed a quarter of its cycle and continues to grow in the sky. It calls on us to remain open to our surroundings and signs of destiny, and to use this growing energy to gather the tools needed to fulfill our desires.

🌕 Full Moon: Fulfillment and Gratitude

The Full Moon illuminates the sky and our inner lives. It is a period of culmination and gratitude for what has been accomplished.

• Recommended Activities : Practice gratitude by noting three things you are thankful for. Participate in creative or spiritual activities.
• Ritual: Organize a release ceremony. Write down what you wish to get rid of on a piece of paper, then burn it safely while asking the Moon to help you let go. Full Moon wishes are very effective. I also recommend these  7 rituals to perform on a Full Moon night. 

🌗 Last Quarter: Reflection and Release

As the Moon wanes, it is time to reflect and release whatever no longer serves your growth.

• Recommended Activities: Take stock of your achievements and adjust your plans if necessary. Practice physical and emotional cleansing.
• Ritual: Take a purifying bath with sea salt and essential oils. Visualize negative energies dissolving and make room for clarity and inner peace.
• Last Quarter Influence: Here the moon is halfway between the Full Moon and the New Moon. Having traveled 3/4 of its cycle, it is waning and encourages you to let go of everything that might be holding you back or preventing you from making a fresh start at the next New Moon. You might feel some stress about letting go or dropping certain things, but this is the moment to cleanse, release, wrap things up, and stop procrastinating.

My birthday falls on a New Moon, what does it mean?

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.

My birthday falls on a Full Moon, what is the impact?

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.
