Moon Phase Trackerthirteen cycles, one page
A year holds twelve moons, and every few years a thirteenth. Keep company with them here: see tonight's moon, learn what each phase is good for, and mark your moods, dreams, and rituals until your own rhythms start to show.
Tonight's moon
The moon tonight
North of the equator, the moon fills from the right and empties from the right.
The eight phases
What each moon is for
The moon doesn't change. Only how much of its sunlit side we can see does, over about twenty-nine and a half days. In modern moon practice, each part of that journey carries its own invitation.
New Moon
Rest, and ask. The dark is for beginnings you can't see yet. The New Moon Ritual
Waxing Crescent
Take the first small step. A thin light is enough to walk by.
First Quarter
Half lit, half not. A night for decisions, and for pushing gently past the first resistance.
Waxing Gibbous
Refine and tend. Almost there is its own kind of holy. Be patient with what's ripening.
Full Moon
See clearly, give thanks, let go. Everything is lit. The Full Moon Release
Waning Gibbous
Share what you've learned. Teach it, write it down, pass it on.
Last Quarter
Forgive and clear. Close the tabs, the drawers, the old arguments.
Waning Crescent
Retreat and dream. Sometimes called the balsamic moon: the healing hush before the dark.

What the moons are showing you
Your patterns
Science hasn't found that the moon steers our moods. This isn't about the moon controlling you. It's about noticing your own rhythms, with the moon as a steady clock to hang them on.
☾ Your moons stay in this browser, on this device. They are never sent anywhere.
How to keep it
A minute each night
- I
Before bed, tap today and give it a weather.
Five words, no right answers. A day can be radiant and heavy at once; choose the one that's loudest.
- II
In the morning, mark a dream if you had one.
Even a fragment counts. Dreams fade fast, so a quick ✧ and a few words are enough to catch them.
- III
After three or four moons, read down the columns.
Each column is the same night of the cycle. If the same color keeps showing up near the full moon, or at the dark, that's yours to know.
- IV
Print it at the end of the year.
Thirteen moons on a single page, in your own colors. Tuck it into your journal and start again.
The moon has never once been the same two nights in a row.
Neither have you. Both are whole.Wander wisely, wild one · Kelli
