If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you know that I’ve already talked about how the current astrological transits point to many big changes. This Full Moon is no different.
The Virgo Full Moon is greatly affected by Saturn squaring Uranus. There is strong need for independence and massive change. For some, this can definitely be uncomfortable and unexpected, but please do not fight it. The transformation is for the better, no matter how difficult it may seem at the moment.
Look back at the last 12 months. So much has changed on the global level, but also in our personal lives. Think about how you have grown as a personandacknowledge our strength. Reward yourself, you deserve it.
But at the same time, think about everything that is no longer working for you in your life. Habits, things, routines or people that you have outgrownbut haven’t let go of just yet.Now is the time to do so.
Make sure you are not only focusing on your shadow aspects and all the heavy-duty stuff, but also letting yourself relax and feel free. We are in Pisces season - creativity runs high, so do that creative project you’ve been wanting to do for ages. Know that healthy balance is the key to success.
And as always, listen and follow your own intuition✨
Celestial witches get most of their energies from cosmic and celestial bodies. AKA anything outer space, really :) They’re one of my favorite witches (all witches are my favorite lol) so of course I had to do a masterlist (I had to do it to ‘em).
Also, there are so many correspondences. But as always, you don’t have to research all of them to be considered a Cosmic/Celestial witch.
Enjoy!

Moon water is water that’s been charged by the Moon. Different phases and the position of the moon have different properties/correspondents ex Aquarius Full Moon. You can make your own moon water very easily, the only required supplies are water and a glass container.
use any kind of water; creek/stream, rain, even just plain bottled/tap water.
place glass container under the moonlight (a windowsill works if you cannot leave the water outside)
collect moon water before sunrise ensuring no sunlight touches it
*Optional* you can also add water-safe crystals or herbs to the moon water to charge it with extra magickal properties.
Once you have your moon water there’s a variety of ways you can use it
add it to your bath
blessings
power spells
charge/cleanse your crystals/tools
water your herbs/plants
drink (be sure you used clean water/a clean sealed container)
Plant your vines (beans, cucumbers, etc.) when the horns of the moon are turned up, so that they may grow vigorously. If planted when the horns of the moon are turned down, they will remain low and stunted.
*Bonus:
The same is said for fences- if you want them to remain, build while the horns are up. Fences built while the horns of the moon are directed down are said to sink until the bottom rail touches the ground.
This is a much longer version of my original Moon Phase Cheat Sheet - with more phases, terms, and definitions for your quick and easy magical reference!
WAXING: These are the phases when the Moon appears to be growing. This period is divided into the First Quarter and Second Quarter, and takes about 14 days.
Good For: Drawing things towards you, increasing
New Moon: This is when the moon is just a sliver in the sky. From here, the Moon takes about 14 days to reach Full. (First Quarter)
Good For: New beginnings, potential, starts
Crescent Moon: When the Moon is a visible crescent in the sky - “The Moon of Continuing Dedication”. (First Quarter)
Good For: Treated magically like the New Moon.
Waxing Half-Moon: When the moon is half full, and growing. Occurs about a week after the New Moon. (Second Quarter)
Good For: Progressing from verbal to thought magic, plans forming into actualities.
Gibbous Moon: The last slip-thread before the Moon is full. (Second Quarter)
Good For: Deep love spells, relationships, peak emotions.
FULL MOON: This one’s self-explanatory! The Moon remains looking Full for about 2 to 3 days, though purists choose to work magick only on the peak day. It is considered part of the Second Quarter by some.
Good For: The Full Moon is considered the most powerful Moon, due to it shining at full brightness. Many Witches choose to commemorate the occasion with a ritual or Esbat, and even more use this moon for their main spellcraft.
WANING:The phases when the Moon appears to be dissapearing. This period is divided into the Third and Fourth Quarters, and includes the Dark Moon. The Moon takes another 14 or so days to complete its cycle.
Good For: Removing, drawing away, banishing, and cleansing
Third Quarter: The waning quarter after the Full Moon. (Third Quarter)
Good For: Dissolving problems, letting go, endings, and detoxifying
Disseminating Moon: The beginning of the Moon dissappearing. (Third Quarter)
Good For: Breaking bad habits, legal matters, cleansing
Waning Half-Moon: When the Moon is half light and half dark in the circle, and getting darker. (Fourth Quarter)
Good For: Reflection, meditative thought, ridding self of unwanted things
Waning Crescent Moon: The last slip of moon before it grows fully dark. (Fourth Quarter)
Good For: Serious issues, quitting something, understanding unfathomed elements
Dark Moon: The period of time when the Moon is completely invisible in the sky. For our course, this is considered the last part of the Moon’s cycle (some traditions count it as the first – neither is wrong). (Fourth Quarter)
Good For: Protection, wisdom, self-honoring rituals, purificaton, banishing
Apply in accordance with your magical intent, and use the lunar tides to your advantage. :>

It’s the new moon tonight! What have you all got cooked up for this go-around? I’m going to try and clean out my altars and refresh some of the shrines around the house for springtime!
I’m so happy to have so many new followers, so here’s a summary of all the posts I have written this year. Feel free to use all of theses resources for your grimoire or book of shadows
