It's just a phase 🌙
Hey peach,
How's it going?
I've decided to take control of your journaling schedule. And your journaling content, too. But you trust me...dontcha? 🙂
This month, I'd like to moot an idea with you: journaling according to the phases of the moon.
Ya see, the lunar cycle has a direct influence on nature and the world around us. Some think it impacts humans, too.
So whaddaya say we try tapping into it?
Using the guide below, I urge you to think about the current phase (FYI it's a full moon in the Northern Hemisphere rn) and journal on that theme.
How closely does the cycle of the moon mirror your own inner landscape? Do you find it easier to move with nature on a 28-day cycle? Wouldn't it be trippy to find out?!
Want a slice of anecdotal evidence from one of the most prolific witchy creatives? I recently interviewed singer/songwriter Chelsea Wolfe about her new album and she told me she used the phases of the moon to heal her trauma and frame her creativity.
She recommends The Moon Book by Sarah Faith Gottesdiener, btw. Just in case you wanted to follow her lead!
So, if you're ready, here are your moon phases...

🌚 Moon phase journaling prompts 🌝
New moon: this is the start of the moon's cycle; its gravitational pull maximises the energy you put into the universe. This is a time for making plans, setting intentions, and dreaming up your fondest desires for the month.
First quarter moon: now we're cooking with gas! Energy is high and anything can happen — use the momentum to put your plans into action.
Full moon: Peak energy is here, guys! Time to reap what you've sown and show gratitude for all that's come to pass so far in the month. Experts also recommend shadow work and self-improvement during the full moon.
Third quarter moon: Time to wind down, folks. The moon's energy is waning, making this an ideal time to think about resting, reflecting on the month just passed and what you need to release before the next phase starts.
