Moon Phase Calendar

The moon holds powerful allure, imbued with beauty, mystery, legend, myth and romance. Her cycles impact everything from ocean tides and animal behavior to birth rates and emergency room activity. Wisely, metaphorically and magically, she reflects the fundamental cycles within our lives: light and dark, abundance and need, action and rest, beginnings and endings.

Here is this year's moon phase schedule along with some of our recommended candles for each lunar cycle. But no matter which candles we recommend, we always want you to follow your own intuition and inner guidance.
