The Inked Grimoire

Get ready for some polarizing energy with this Full Moon in Scorpio! As the sister sign of Taurus, Scorpio introduces some significant conflict to the grounded Earth sign. Between the two, it’s easy to fluctuate between feeling super abundant and utterly deprived. If you feel like you’re getting caught at one end of the spectrum or the other, just remember that the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

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.

The Dark Moon is a potent time for transformation and release. It’s also the ideal moon phase for practicing secretive magick – spells and rituals intentionally kept hidden for your protection. Whether you’re shielding yourself from unwanted energies or working in the shadows to bring justice, secretive magick allows you to act with discretion and power.

When the moon is dark and hidden from view, just before the New Moon, it’s the perfect time for invisibility magick, return-to-sender spells, curses, hexes, banishing, and divination. This phase represents endings, rest, and deep introspection, setting the stage for personal transformation and spiritual growth.

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.

Welcome to the first Full Moon of the year! While this moon is traditionally known as the Wolf Moon, it might be more fitting to borrow the Celtic name, the “Stay Home Moon,” for this one. Positioned opposite Pluto and in the deeply emotional sign of Cancer, this Full Moon is bound to stir up big feelings, complex relationships, and possibly some mid-month anger.

Happy Full Moon, witches! Our final Full Moon of 2024 helps bring a sense of completion to our end-of-year. With Mercury going direct on the same day, the Cold Full Moon is an invitation to embrace all parts of yourself and share your authenticity fearlessly with the world.
