🎁 The Lunar Journaling Kit series
Before we start, a little note
I’ve been distracted and away from Substack the last couple of weeks but with good reason! The end of Winter is palpable here where I live, and this transitional energy from winter to spring has brought lots of innovation in the last couple of weeks- hello Aquarius energy! - which has asked me to take the time and revise many things I’ve done so far and feel where a breath of fresh air is needed.
I wish Substack could give the option to publish content available only for free subscribers. Unfortunately, here on Substack, you can only do that for paid subscribers, something I don’t feel in my heart I want to do at the moment. This means everything I write and publish is wide open for everyone to see and read, and I’m fine with that, as I want to give value to everyone who needs it. However, I do want my digital journaling creations to be something special to those who see the value of using & working with them.
And I’ve been feeling I wanted to create something new and free for all subscribers here on Letters from a WeatherVane, so keep reading to find out!
📖 A moon cycle coming our way
In this new series, I’ll be introducing the moon energetics for the period ahead, including other seasonal and celestial energies as well, and will be delivered on the previous weekend before a new moon cycle starts.
🌙 * Worm * Crow * Chaste * Moon Cycle
This moon cycle - February 28th until March 28th,2025 - is most often called the Worn, the Crow, or the Chaste moon cycle and it’s what I call a transitional moon cycle, as it happens almost in the middle of the seasonal shift. For that reason, I like also to call this moon cycle the 1st Spring Moon Cycle, because the first signs of Spring are already visible and palpable here in this region of the world.
This moon cycle is named for the re-emergence of worms and other creatures, and its energy is one of renewal and preparation. This cycle encourages shedding the winter leftovers and embracing the promise of new beginnings. With spring on the horizon, this is a time to cultivate the soil of your life—literally and metaphorically—for planting intentions. The Worm Moon is a call for hope, growth, and the planning of those awakened winter dreams as we step into the light of longer days.
This transitional moon is where we bridge the introspective, restorative energy of winter with the dynamic, rebirth & awakening energy of Spring. It’s the connective path between letting go of the old and preparing for the new. As the winter fades, we ask ourselves:
What have I learned from this period of stillness?
What intentions am I ready to nurture as Spring unfolds?
♓Pisces Season
We are currently in Pisces Season - February 19th until March 19th, 2025 - and this water sign invites us to trust our intuition, connect with our emotions, dream freely, and just flow. Pisces’ energy reminds us to release control and let inspiration guide us.
Pisces is the last zodiac sign in the astrological zodiac year, and it symbolizes wholeness, unity, and the dissolution of boundaries. Represented by the two fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisces embodies the duality of existence—the connection between the seen and unseen, the material and spiritual. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, and mysticism, Pisces draws us into the realm of imagination, compassion, and infinite possibility.
When working with Pisces energy, we are invited to dream, to heal, and to trust the divine flow of life. It is a sign that asks us to let go of rigidity, open our hearts, and embrace the magic of the unknown.
🌓 Moon Phases dates & planets retrograde
🌑New Moon: February 28th in Pisces at 00:44 (ut/gmt time)
🌓First Quarter Moon: March 7th in Gemini
🌕Full Moon Lunar Eclipse: March 14th in Virgo at 06:54 (ut/gmt time)
🌗Last Quarter Moon: March 22nd in Capricorn
🌚Last moon cycle day: March 28th
Lunar eclipse
Lunar Eclipses are often seen as cosmic resets, bringing clarity to hidden truths and pushing us toward necessary change. Full Moons are already known for amplifying feelings, and an eclipse adds an extra layer of intensity. Emotions that have been buried may rise to the surface, offering you an opportunity to face and work them through. On this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, we ask ourselves:
What have you been avoiding?
This is the moment to confront those truths and clear the way for something new.
Venus retrograde March 1st - April 12th
Venus Retrograde is one of the most profound retrograde periods, as it deals with love, relationships, finances, self-worth, and beauty. When Venus retrogrades, it takes us inward, prompting a deep reassessment of how we connect with ourselves and others. This retrograde is not about forward momentum but about pausing, reflecting, and recalibrating.
Mercury retrograde: March 15th - April 7th
Mercury Retrograde is infamous for its impact on communication, technology, travel, and planning. However, beyond these logistical challenges, this retrograde is a powerful time for revisiting, refining, and reimagining how we express ourselves, process information, and engage with our inner world.
🔮Archetypal energy
This is a period of rebirth where we welcome The Maide Archetype, a symbol of youth, curiosity, and fresh beginnings. The Maiden is often depicted as playful, creative, fertile, and full of wonder, which reflects beautifully Spring’s energy.
The Maiden Archetype invites us to reconnect with our sense of wonder and playfulness. As adults, we often become consumed by responsibilities and forget to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. This archetype reminds us that joy, creativity, and curiosity are just as important as discipline and hard work.
