Living in alignment with the moon phases and constellations has been a lifestyle for millenia and there are still quite a few people who follow lunar trends to decide when to best do what, regulate and maximize their health benefits, garden, and more. This can be seen as a type of electional astrology, but it is solely focused on the Moon, the phase it is in, the sign it resides in, and in some cases what aspects it makes to other planets. I will mostly focus on the former two in this post.
The basic idea is that the moon represents the body and influences it as such. The moon is mostly consulted for dietary decisions, beauty questions, general health related activities, and gardening. Apart from the gardening I will cover all of these things and a few additional ones. To simplify this I will (in regards to diet) talk about losing weight as more favorable than gaining weight most of the time however by no means is this trying to say that that’s better in general - many simply consult the lunar diet to lose weight more than they use it to gain it and it makes it easier for me to write the post.
Always prioritize the word of a doctor. This post is not supposed to substitute proper medical care.

Me, a trans man on the danger list for ovarian cancer and is going to get them removed in the distant or near future:
not for long
🌱 little “good news” summer spell 🌤 gather clear quartz, mint leaves, and a handful of wildflowers. place them in a sachet and with both hands cup the sachet and take in the refreshing scent. with your eyes closed, while breathing in through your nose, think to yourself the mantra “beauty is on the horizon,” then slowly breathe out through your mouth. place the sachet on your windowsill or somewhere else in direct sunlight for the rest of the day. i’d recommend pressing the flowers the next morning.
Please, especially new people, keep in mind that the pagan & witch communities can have gross creeps in it like any other religions or practices no matter how much they like to talk about how “spiritual” they are. If someone creeps you out or says or does something that makes you super uncomfortable, please dont overlook that bc you figure that’s just how it’s supposed to be for paganism or witchcraft. Their spirituality or practice doesnt make weird advances at you any less weird. Please keep yourself safe!!
Tumblr won’t let me edit my own posts so I had to make a new version!

*this will just be a short & sweet explanation of the moon phases & their meanings.
New moon: just like the name, it’s all about new things! It’s time to buckle up & start setting your intentions & foundation for what you wish to accomplish. The new moon is a rebirth - a fresh start…
Waxing crescent: now that you’ve set your intentions with the new moon, the waxing crescent is all about making that known to the universe & really putting it out there! New possibilities & opportunities may be coming!
First quarter: struggles may arise during this time but the first quarter encourages us to keep pushing forward! It’s time to start your plans & get them going no matter what stands in the way of them. Anything is possible!
Waxing gibbous: this is all about reflection! Your energy is raising the further you get to the full moon & so right now is the time to reflect on your path. Perhaps things aren’t working out as planned but a new way presents itself…
Full moon: Full moons are great times to come into balance with your own self and life by clearing way for all of the positives & manifestations to come through while clearing out all of the negatives you don’t need/want. It’s a time to be greatful for everything!
Waning gibbous: this is a time for deep internal reflection on how you feel. Instead of looking at what you can do or change, look at things for what they are and how you feel about them. Reflect on the people & things in your life!
Third quarter: now that you’ve reflected under the waning gibbous, it’s time to do something about it!! Get rid of all the negativity or things/people you don’t want in your life & celebrate things in your life you love. Let all the bad shit go!!
Waning crescent: this is a period of reflection that allows you to relax until the next cycle of moon phases. Relax, be present with yourself, be completely open & ready for what’s to come for you! It’s okay to just have a little down time.
This pretty much proves that love is dangerous, right?

Is this how you roll?
Part III
swallowing hard
low, monotone voice
clucking their tongue
rubbing their face
shaking head
clenching hands
sighing
frowning
pursing of the lips
slumped shoulders
looking away
scowling
exhaling deeply
tension in their face going away
closing eyes for a moment
tentative smile
eyes brightening up
small giddy laughter
putting hand on their breast
joyfully tearing up
looking up
gaze dropping down to the other's lips
opening mouth slightly
small smile around the eyes
eyes widening
pupils dilating
biting lips
following them with their eyes
inhaling deeply
licking lips
closing eyes
slowly opening them again
long sighs
yawning
no eye contact
head lolling to the side
closed mouth, neither smile nor scowl
not moving a lot
doing everything slower
staring off into the near distance
prolonged eye contact
nodding to show they are listening
putting their shoulders back
holding head high
leaning forward
standing tall
smiling openly
