According to Simone, that means I\u2019m \u201ca gifted communicator, eager to tell [my] truth and engage in spirited discussions. The lure of the outer world and its trappings is starting to wane \u2026,\u201d which is true. I could benefit from cultivating detachment and finding a message to share. The description goes on to say, \u201cYou are a born teacher; the world needs to hear your voice.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">My sister was born on my birthday, two years later. Hers was a waxing gibbous moon, described as \u201cenormously creative and growth oriented,\u201d using her \u201canalytical mind to plot a course of action\u201d before she decides. In addition, the book states she sticks with people and causes for whom she is passionate. That, too, is a fair description. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The second part of the book is a series of new and full moon rituals rituals, and exercises anyone can do based on what sign the moon is in at the time. Ten-minute journal prompts are also included. Based on the sign the moon was in when you were born shows your needs and emotional nature. It also reveals the wisdom you\u2019ve accumulated in previous lives\u2014and where you can get stuck. \u201cDoing ritual on the day the Moon is in your Moon sign generates extra-powerful magic,\u201d Simone states.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">She goes into detail about each moon sign, describing its lunar superpower, shadow side, karmic path, and sexual nature, plus four paragraphs about the moon\u2019s characteristics. For instance, she says, \u201cOf all the Moon signs, Aries Moons know their own minds and are self-directed. Being told what to do does not please you. You\u2019ve no doubt had your share of run-ins with authority. But your independent streak can also prompt you to become your own boss.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">My moon is in Scorpio, and I found my lunar superpower to be dead on \u2013 imagination \u2013 but I connected to only two things about my shadow side: letting go and a desire for revenge \u2013 which I prefer to think of as seeking justice, or maybe willingly dishing out some much-deserved karma. My sexual nature, karmic path and moon characteristics were all eerily <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif;\"><span

As a child, I played with the fae, established relationships with trees and \u201cjust knew things.\u201d In my maiden years I discovered witchcraft and dabbled in the black-candles-and-cemeteries-at-midnight-on-a-fullmoon magick just enough to realize I did not understand its power. I went on to explore many practices including Zen, astrology, color therapy, native traditions, tarot, herbs, candle magic, gems, and, as I moved into my mother years, Buddhism, the Kabbalah and Reiki. The first man I dated after my divorce was a witch who reintroduced me to the Craft, this time by way of the Goddess. For 11 years I was in a coven, but with retirement, I have returned to an eclectic solitary practice. When accepting the mantle of crone, I pledged to serve and teach. This is what I do from my skoolie \u2013 a 30-year-old school bus converted into a tiny house on wheels that I am driving around the country, following 72-degree weather, emerging myself into nature, and sharing magic with those I meet.

The first is an introduction to the eight monthly phases of the moon and the characteristics of each. This link to author Simone Butler\u2019s site http:\/\/astroalchemy.com\/your-moon-power\/ will determine your moon sign at birth so you can read up on your emotional nature, needs, wisdom from previous lives, and what can trip you up. Other sites, including this one, https:\/\/www.astrocal.co.uk\/find-out-your-moon-phase\/ will give you the phase of the moon. I was born under a waning gibbous moon. According to Simone, that means I\u2019m \u201ca gifted communicator, eager to tell [my] truth and engage in spirited discussions. The lure of the outer world and its trappings is starting to wane \u2026,\u201d which is true. I could benefit from cultivating detachment and finding a message to share. The description goes on to say, \u201cYou are a born teacher; the world needs to hear your voice.\u201d My sister was born on my birthday, two years later. Hers was a waxing gibbous moon, described as \u201cenormously creative and growth oriented,\u201d using her \u201canalytical mind to plot a course of action\u201d before she decides. In addition, the book states she sticks with people and causes for whom she is passionate. That, too, is a fair description. The second part of the book is a series of new and full moon rituals rituals, and exercises anyone can do based on what sign the moon is in at the time. Ten-minute journal prompts are also included. Based on the sign the moon was in when you were born shows your needs and emotional nature. It also reveals the wisdom you\u2019ve accumulated in previous lives\u2014and where you can get stuck. \u201cDoing ritual on the day the Moon is in your Moon sign generates extra-powerful magic,\u201d Simone states. She goes into detail about each moon sign, describing its lunar superpower, shadow side, karmic path, and sexual nature, plus four paragraphs about the moon\u2019s characteristics. For instance, she says, \u201cOf all the Moon signs, Aries Moons know their own minds and are self-directed. Being told what to do does not please you. You\u2019ve no doubt had your share of run-ins with authority. But your independent streak can also prompt you to become your own boss.\u201d My moon is in Scorpio, and I found my lunar superpower to be dead on \u2013 imagination \u2013 but I connected to only two things about my shadow side: letting go and a desire for revenge \u2013 which I prefer to think of as seeking justice, or maybe willingly dishing out some much-deserved karma.

As a child, I played with the fae, established relationships with trees and \u201cjust knew things.\u201d In my maiden years I discovered witchcraft and dabbled in the black-candles-and-cemeteries-at-midnight-on-a-fullmoon magick just enough to realize I did not understand its power. I went on to explore many practices including Zen, astrology, color therapy, native traditions, tarot, herbs, candle magic, gems, and, as I moved into my mother years, Buddhism, the Kabbalah and Reiki. The first man I dated after my divorce was a witch who reintroduced me to the Craft, this time by way of the Goddess. For 11 years I was in a coven, but with retirement, I have returned to an eclectic solitary practice. When accepting the mantle of crone, I pledged to serve and teach. This is what I do from my skoolie \u2013 a 30-year-old school bus converted into a tiny house on wheels that I am driving around the country, following 72-degree weather, emerging myself into nature, and sharing magic with those I meet.
