A Note From Athena

Hey there! I’m Athena, an astrologer, designer, and maker.

I created Moon Play because I saw so many people trying to force themselves into consistency without understanding their own energetic patterns. The moon gives us a simple and natural framework for noticing flow, resistance, rest, and activation.

Moon Play is not about prediction. It’s about partnership with the natural rhythms that already exist in your body and your life. These weekly and monthly emails are designed to help you notice your patterns, build trust with your intuition, and move through each month with more calm and clarity.

FAQs

Unsure if the premium option is right for you? Check out some frequently asked questions.

What topics are covered in the weekly astrology posts?

Using the chart of the week’s lunation and the conversations the moon is having with the other planets, I notice themes emerging in the energy of the week. I gently guide, invite and suggest ways you can work with the energy of the week in ways that are sustainable, nourishing and in alignment with the natural cycles. Ritual practices, prompts, light astrology dates and degrees, and general moon moods are frequent topics in the weekly emails.

What level of astrology knowledge is expected or required?

Beginners are welcome! The only thing you need to know is your birth information to pull your own chart so you can work with your Big 3 and personal houses with each lunation. My work focuses on bringing the technical aspects down to Earth for you to understand how to work with the energies.

Is there a specific astrology system or approach followed within the Moon Play community?

I use Whole Sign Tropical houses and traditional rulers in all of my work.

How can astrology help me in my life?

Astrology is the study of the quality of time. Here at Moon and Craft, I teach about aligning with the quality of time versus pushing against it. Appreciating the quality of time over the quantity of time is the greatest self care practice.
