The Inked Grimoire

Get ready for magick as the first of two New Moons in Virgo this year arrives! On August 23rd, the Moon enters Virgo at 0°, something we haven’t seen since August 23, 2006. When a planet, or in this case, the Moon, sits at 0°, it expresses the purest, most potent energy of that sign. Translation? We’re stepping into some Big Virgo Energy this month.

Aquarius energy is lighting up the sky during this lunation, infusing everything from our aspirations and self-expression to our friendships and relationships. With Uranus, one of Aquarius’s ruling planets, at the helm, we’re being called to double down on our passions and embrace our most authentic selves without apology.

New Moon, new vibe! Welcome to the Leo New Moon. Get ready for pleasant surprises and new opportunities. This New Moon is setting us up energetically for September’s Eclipse Season, when even more profound shifts await us.

Can you feel the energy shifting this month? July will be a profoundly different month, one most of us have never experienced before. The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th is just part of the cosmic shifts occurring. Let’s dive in!

Have you felt the energy activated around you over the past few days? That’s the Full Moon in Sagittarius working its magick. There’s a lot going on in the sky during this lunation, so get ready for some empowered vibes and potentially intense emotions.

This New Moon in Taurus, set intentions around what nourishes you – body, mind, and spirit. Refocus on your magickal practice, too, perhaps by conducting a solitary New Moon ritual or inviting some friends to sit around the fire pit and chat about witchy things over the weekend.

This Full Moon will illuminate opportunities for collaboration and challenges in our relationships because Libra is the sign of relationships. As with every Full Moon, though, the aspects it shines light on all come down to you, your magick, and your relationship with yourself.

This eclipse marks the culmination of a cycle that began in April 2023, when we started the Aries-Libra Eclipse cycle, which we’re completing this month. This axis has been helping us learn what’s most important to us, as well as the balance between what we want and what our partnerships and relationships require. It’s also about recalibrating what it means to be an individual while being a part of the collective.

Welcome to Eclipse Season! This month, our Full Moon in Virgo ushers in a period of transformation and introspection.

Have you felt ultra-sensitive lately, too? Blame it on Pisces, witch! And with the Pisces New Moon coming up on February 27^th, we’re likely to experience many emotions, sometimes unexpectedly. You may also feel extra tender and take things a little personally, but that’s just a reminder of how human you are. After cooler-headed Capricorn and Aquarius seasons, this swim into Pisces season reminds us that our inner knowing is a compass for our lives and that emotions can lead us to abundance.

Get ready for some powerful messages from the Universe this week with the Full Moon in Leo on February 12. The energy will likely be chaotic with this Full Moon, possibly bringing you the shake-ups you've needed in your life but perhaps avoiding. Change is coming, and you're being called to listen to your intuition and trust yourself.

We are stepping into a new era, witches. This New Moon in Aquarius is our Lunar New Year and an invitation to initiate a new era in our personal lives.
