Moon Magic – Harness Lunar Energies for your Rituals in 2022

Everything has energy in it and around it. When doing spells and moon magic, it helps to understand that everything in the universe can affect your magic in some way, enhancing the power of a spell and ensuring that the effects are positive. The power of the moon and its lunar energy can dramatically affect the outcome of a spell. Just as the moon controls the tides, the moon’s position can also move a spell to the proper outcome.

There are many different ways to incorporate lunar energy into your spell work. You can schedule your spells according to the eight Phases of the Moon, take advantage of special lunar events, such as a Blue Moon, Supermoon, Lunar Eclipses, as well as the Moons of the Year, and the Astrological Signs.

The Phases of the Moon

One of the most important factors that confer influence on a spell is the moon phase. Casting a spell in an ideal moon phase can help it to succeed. This logic is as simple and logical as even according to the Farmer’s Almanac, seeds are sowed during the full moon for the best potency and results. Therefore, do not underestimate the power and pull of the moon. If the moon can determine the movements of the oceans and seas, then its influence on spells is clearly justified.

There are eight essential phases of the moon, and each phase has its significance and importance and will influence your magic differently. Each phase lasts 3.5 days, and it is during this time suitable spells should be cast.

Keep in mind that the Moon is waxing and increasing in size from the New Moon to the Full Moon. Energy is building and gaining strength, and therefore this is the time when you want to focus on increasing things. On the other hand, from the Full Moon to the New Moon, the Moon is waning and decreasing in size. This is the time to release, finish things up, and then prepare to let go in anticipation of beginning new.

New Moon Magic

This is the first phase, and you can recognize it when the tiniest sliver of light appears in the sky.

The New Moon promotes new beginnings, new projects, new ideas, and new relationships. Use this time to make positive changes, visualize your intent, start a new business, or begin a new relationship. It is also a good time for divination, opening and vision work, setting intentions, and releasing fear.

• Symbol: 🌑
• What it looks like in the sky: It looks like the right side of the letter D or the right side of a parenthesis).
• Time: From exact New Moon until 3.5 days after
• Purpose: Beginnings, birth, a clean slate, creativity, emergence, potential, initiative, dreams.
• Position: The Moon is 0-45 degrees directly ahead of the sun.
• Magical Workings: Beauty, Creative ventures, Gardening, Health, Job and Career, Love, Networking, Romance, and Self-Improvement.
• Next Dates (EST): 2022: January 2, February 1, March 2, April 1, April 30, May 30, June 28, July 28, August 27, September 25, October 25, November 23, December 23.

Note: The New or Dark Moon is often subject to disagreements among many practitioners. Some use both terms interchangeably and don’t differentiate. At any rate, in our practice, the New Moon starts with the tiniest sliver of light visible in the sky, and the Dark Moon is the period when the moon is not visible at all, usually 21-26 hours before the New Moon.

The Waxing Moon Phase

When you want something to happen in your life, you might want to visualize this desire as a seed trying to grow into a fully mature plant. The seed starts small but then slowly grows into something bigger and more meaningful in the world. As the moon grows from being a New Moon to a Full Moon, this is a time when spells can have the most power. As the moon begins to grow larger and larger in the sky, the spell’s energy grows too. You might want to do rituals at this time for growing things in your life – success, power, recognition, love, and money. While your intention may be for growth, having the moon’s growth alongside this intention will allow the energy to be as focused and action-oriented as possible.

The success rate of these spells will rise to a great extent during this moon phase.

The Waxing phase starts with the Waxing Crescent (45-90 degrees ahead of the sun) and moves into the First Quarter (90-135 degrees from the sun). From there, the illuminated part grows into the Waxing Gibbous (135-180 degrees from the sun). The Waxing Moon Phase can, therefore, be divided into the following three phases:

Waxing Crescent Moon Magic

This is the time to put effort, courage, and faith into your dreams and goals. If you want something, you have to go for it. The Waxing Crescent Moon Phase is all about expansion, overcoming challenges, and, most importantly, moving forward. It is an excellent time to cast spells for self-improvement, new beginnings, business ventures, love, change, emotions, and strength. Use this time to make plans, lay a foundation for the future, and start something.

• Symbol: 🌒
• What it looks like in the sky: Like a Sliver
• Time: 3.5 to 7 days after the new moon.
• Purpose: Expansion, activity, effort, moving forward, challenges, change, courage, faith.
• Position: 45-90 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Emotions, change, strength, love, business, animals.

First Quarter Moon Magic

The First Quarter Moon is all about your commitment and breaking through any barriers and challenges. This is the time to commit, to separate yourself from the past, and for action. If any obstacles or doubts are present, this is the time to remove them. During this time, spells for friendship, luck, motivation, and courage are beneficial. It is also a time of instinct and intuition, a good time for decisions, and the doorway to other places.

• Symbol: 🌓
• What it looks like in the sky: Like a Half Moon
• Time: 7 to 10.5 days after the new moon.
• Purpose: Action, separation from past, breakthrough, confidence, commitment.
• Position: 90-135 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Luck, friendship, courage, intuition, motivation, elemental magic.

Waxing Gibbous Moon Magic

This is the time to stay on course and for development. If you have slipped and need to re-start, this is the best time to do so. The Waxing Gibbous is the last phase before the full moon. It has immense powers and potency to attract something into your life, whether love, luck, courage, abundance, or harmony.

• Symbol: 🌔
• What it looks like in the sky: 50.1% to 99.9% illuminated
• Time: 10.5 to 14 days after the new moon.
• Purpose: Development, overcoming, perfecting, evaluation.
• Position: 135-180 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Peace, Love, patience, wealth, courage, harmony.

Full Moon Magic

Almost all types of spells are positively influenced by the full moon, especially those indulging exclusively with magical powers and energies.

Use this time to cast spells for love, beauty, money, fertility, dreams, and family. The lunar energies will also help you in creative work, strengthening your psychic abilities, meditation, intuition, and emotions.

The Full Moon phase is considered to be the perfect time for casting love spells. They have the maximum effect and the best chance of working when cast during this time. This fact can be attributed to the full visibility of the moon; its effects on a person’s emotions are not a revelation and have been known since astrology came into being.

• Symbol: 🌕
• What it looks like in the sky: 100% illuminated
• Time: 14 to 17.5 days after the new moon.
• Purpose: Completion, fulfillment, culmination, harvest, vision, illumination, results.
• Position: 180-225 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Love, Romance, Beauty, Change, Dreams, Family, Money, Protection, Health, Psychic Power, Artistic endeavors, Motivation, and Self-Improvement.
• Next Dates (EST): 2022: January 17, February 16, March 18, April 16, May 16, June 14, July 13, August 11, September 10, October 9, November 8, December 7.

The Waning Moon Phase

The waning moon phase is considered ideal for casting spells that evade or keep destructive influences like evil spirits at bay. The waning moon phase is often considered almost similar in terms of the characteristics and properties of the dark moon.

At the same time, there may be moments when you want your life to have less in it – fewer bad habits, less bad luck, less weight, etc. In these times, you want to encourage the energy to decrease. As the moon retreats from being Full to be a New Moon, the energy decreases, and it causes the engery to slow down as well. This time of the waning moon works well for banishing things from your life and encouraging bad habits to go away. For example, if you wanted to quit smoking or lose weight, starting at the Full Moon and working a spell until the New Moon would encourage the energy of the bad habit or situation to dissipate.

The Waning phase starts with the Waning Gibbous (225-270 degrees ahead of the sun) and moves into the Third Quarter (225-315 degrees from the sun). The Waning Moon Phase can, therefore, be divided into the following phases:

Disseminating or Waning Gibbous Moon Magic

This is not the time to start something new; it is the time to go easy on yourself, review your life, regroup your forces, and correct mistakes. It’s an excellent time to remove obstacles, settle disputes, and make changes. Cast spells to break addictions and bad habits, protect, heal, divorce, and banish unwanted situations, people, influences, and energies.

• Symbol: 🌖
• What it looks like in the sky: 3/4 full
• Time: 17.5 to 21 days after the new moon (or 3.5 to 7 days after the full moon)
• Purpose: Initial Destruction, teaching, maturity, reaping, demonstration.
• Position: 225-270 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Protection, Divorce, Addiction, Emotions, Stress, inner attunement, and Decisions.

Last Quarter Moon Magic

This is the time to make way for the new. It is also the time of endings and banishing. Use this phase to remove yourself from anything negative, negative situations, habits, influences, relationships, and people. Cast spells for protection, health, addiction, and banishing.

• Symbol: 🌗
• What it looks like in the sky: Half full
• Time: 21 to 24.5 after the new moon.
• Purpose: Absolute Destruction, re-orientation, harvest, assimilation.
• Position: 270-315 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Protection, Addiction, Health, Endings, Stress, Banishing, and Ancestors.

Balsamic Moon and Dark Moon Magic

The Dark Moon phase is considered ideal for casting spells involved with evading or getting rid of unpleasant or harmful things and influences. Cast spells for justice, removal of obstacles, change, and enemies.

• Symbol: 🌘
• What it looks like in the sky: Slim crescent to not visible at all
• Time: 24.5 to 28 after the new moon.
• Purpose: Death, release, rest, destiny, transition.
• Position: 315-360 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Separation, Divorce, Addiction, Justice, Enemies, Obstacles, Change, Removal, preventing theft, and getting rid of stalkers.

Additional Information to the Dark Moon

The Dark Moon is the period when no direct sunlight is being reflected from the moon and when the moon is not visible. This time period is 21 to 26 hours before the New Moon, still within the Balsamic Phase.

Special Lunar Events

The Blue and Black Moons, Eclipses, and other lunar events (i.e., meteor showers) can also help to intensify spell work. If you notice that a lunar event is coming soon, you may want to consider any spells you’ve been thinking to try to time them with the maximum energy of the moon’s position. Every movement and phase of the moon is a determining factor of a spell’s ability and capacity to work.

Blue Moon Magic

A Blue Moon occurs when there is a second full moon within the same month and also when there is a fourth full moon within the same season. The latter only transpires every couple of years, making it an extremely rare yet powerful event.

A Blue Moon is the most potent time to harness lunar energy. Use this time to cast spells to create miracles for problems or situations that require rapid success.

• Purpose: The second Full Moon within the same month and the fourth Full Moon within the same season.
• Position: 180-225 degrees ahead of the sun
• Magical workings: Anything that requires potency is challenging to solve and requires rapid success.

Next Blue Moon Occurrences

Black Moon Magic

A Black Moon occurs when there is a second New Moon within the same month and also when there is a fourth New Moon within the same season. Since repetition increases the power of anything, the Black Moon has immense powers. It can even reveal deeply hidden truths and unearth mysteries with ease. During this time, cast spells for truth, soul-searching, new beginnings, the future, and divination.

• Time: The second New Moon within the same month and the second New Moon within the same Season.
• Position: The Moon is 0-45 degrees directly ahead of the sun.

Supermoon Magic

When a New or Full moon closely occurs with perigee. Perigee happens when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth during the monthly orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. To harness Supermoon energy, the moon’s position within a zodiac sign can impact the type of energy available to use in your magic. The same applies to Supermoon Esbats.

• Purpose: Increased Energy
• Position: 0-45 degrees or 180-225 degrees ahead of the sun.
• Magical workings: Cast spells that require extra strength.

Lunar Eclipses

Lunar eclipses are incredibly magical events and should not be missed. During a Lunar Eclipse, the energies of the Moon and Sun connect and therefore create a balance of the male and female polarities. On average, a Lunar Eclipse takes place nearly once a year.

The light-dark-light concept can be compared to the birth-death-rebirth cycles, making a Lunar Eclipse an extraordinary event for magical workings. Lunar Eclipse Energy is exceptionally potent, balanced, and a combination of two opposite energies and is capable of bringing real miracles to fruition.

This is the perfect time to cast spells for complex and hard-to-solve problems as well as long-term goals.

• Magical workings: Relationships, Money, Business Ventures, Love, Romance, Health, Protection, Psychic Development, and Self-Improvement.
• Next Lunar Eclipses (EST): 
  • May 15-May 16, 2022 – Total lunar eclipse.

Esbats – The Moons of the Year

Every month usually has one full moon, but one month each year will have two full moons within the same month. Such a second full moon is what we call the Blue Moon.

Plan your spells and rituals around the Esbat Lunar Cycle to harness that unique lunar energy and make your magic work more effectively.
